Reporters Business Agents Cartoonist Photographers Are You Throwing Your Money Away? During the past weeks we've heard a great deal of talk about what we're going to receive from student council in return for our votes. Both parties .3i-reed whole-heartedly on social activities. The Reformers promised 'more social activities" and the Melting Pot promised "more diversified activities." Now the elections are over and the victors are busy making good their promises. We will have social activities. The Question is: Will they be worth all the time and money put into them? Council could bring together Tommy Dor sey, Benny Goodman and George Shearing to play for the student dances; they could serve filet mignon, caviar and champagne as re freshments; they could give Cadilmlac convertibles, trips to Hawaii, and tickets to "South Pacific" as door prizes, but if no one attends, the socials will still be failures. Attendance-and attendance alone— is the only factor which will determine success. Our basketball team will begin practice soon. Practice for What? Practice . for 'Ur ee cheers for H.U.C."? Three cheers indeed one from Syd ciru. , from the subs -- one from the Collegian sportswriter. Is that what we want? A look at the financial statement shows that last year $1,179.55 was appropriated for sports, yet game attendance was ridiculously low. Remember, brother, that's our $7.50 being spent let's help spend it! Inspiration - - - - We shall now bring to light a secret. That is, it must be a secret or something would have been done about it long before this. The Collegian office hasn't any windows. Since our third floor office is toward the back of the main build ing, a window would take the view of the valley into the room. This naturally would give way to aesthetic inspirations in the minds of those on your editorial staff. As it is, the atmosphere breeds only satire. Aesthetic editorials would not be the only result of such a window. We are on the third floor so, if we would stretch our necks out the window a little we might be able to see the student parking lot on the bottom of the hill. Oh! Think of the possible editorials that would inspire. Then, too, on a sunny day a glance downward from the window and to the left your editorial staff would see the shadow of the flagpole, another source of editorial inspiration. Ah! We can just see it—a picture window with venetian blinds. * * * * "1 move that such a window be put in." "You're out of order. You're in no position to make a notion." "Well, I suggest, then, that such a window be added to the Collegian office. The suggestion will be consil Club "200" The Club 200 has recently an nounced that the charter for new members has been opened, with the following restrictions placed on the possible candidates seeking member ship. Break the speed limit on the hill driveway (15 miles per hour) and in the circle (5 miles per hour) and you're "in." The reasons for the change in the speed regulations, are to give both the pedestrian and the driver a "break." Suppose an ener getic student bounds in front of your car. If you adhere to the speed regu- Highacres, Hazleton, Pa. STAFF 'dered." lations, you can avoid a nasty acci dent. So let's try to keep the throttle down to par, huh ? As you know, the parking lot down at the bottom of the hill is reserved for student parking, while the park ing space by the Dorm Building is reserved for people who live in the Dorm, visiting dignitaries, and those who have a parking meter. Parking at the Dorm and in the circle by un authorized persons is strictly frown ed upon, and violators will automati cally become honored members of the 200 club, O.K. ? Hughie Brennan ..

Henry Giuliani, vice president; WI NO SOAP While strolling through the halls of High Acres one day, I was accost ed by a group of irate students com ing from the men's room. One of the members of this group was busy forming a hangman's knot in a piece of rope, while the rest unleashed a bitter storm of protest about the lack of soap in the wash room. "You work for the paper, how about put ting in a gripe about the lack of soap?" I tried to explain to the group that my racket was not under the' category o,JlPikfting articles for the paper, but after they tried the rope around my neck for size, I de cided to acquiesce to this flattering proposition. Upon my return to the Collegian office, I lighted up a cigarette to calm my shattered nerves, and to try to dope out how to go about knock ing out an article on the soap situa tion. The longer I sat, the more con fusing my problem became. How can I create a strong story to correct the soap situation to satisfy the blood thirsty desires of this group, and at the same time have an article that will not jeopardize my chances of picking up a fast buck as janitor for the Collegian staff ? After all, jobs like this are scarce, and I have to look out for my tonsils and keep them thoroughly dampened to ward off this deadly Virus X that is float ing around. Of course if I could get the Ad ministration to toss in a couple of bars of soap, I might be able to pick up a fast buck by taking in washing between classes, and then I could bring my razor out of hibernation and do some shaving on the side too. Just think of all the possibilities in this soap situation. I could hide the towels and sell them at a slight fee to the engineering students who have to wash their hands for drawing classes. And there is the crap game crowd, who after handling dirty dice all day, might still have enough money to buy a squirt of soap. Sounds pretty good; now if I could only figure out a way to type out an article to induce the administration to put soap in, I would surely have success (ss) knocking at my door. HAYRIDE TONIGHT - - TO MOYER'S GROVE Freshman Officers O•„• t rer • Jos • : : g: see e y• 1 p The Mail - - - On behalf of the candidates of the "Melting Pot Party," I want to sincerely thank the faculty, students, and everyone concerned for their enthusiastic support during our recent campaign. I wish to ex tend my heartiest congratulations and support to our newly elected officers. May they have continued success in their new endeavor. —JOHN R. PREHATNY I should like to thank all those students who thought me qualified and in turn elected me to the council position. The election results indicate that all sophomores voted and that the competition for several offices was very keen. If this indicates the interest in student activities, then I believe with such co-operation we shall be able to make this a most successful year. I want to thank the student body for their sincere and whole hearted co-operation in the past election campaign. Student spirit was terrific! Keep it up. I would like to thank all the members of the student body for their support in the recent election. I shall endeavor to fill the office of President of the Sophomore Class to the best of my ability. In appreciation for your confidence which resulted in my election, I should like to say, - united we stand, divided we fall." By means of our school paper, the "Collegian" I would like to thank all my fellow students for selecting me as Secretary of the Sophomore class. I am ktenly aware that Miss Harlor was a very capable and worthy opponent. Appreciating the confidence placed in me, I shall sincerely try to perform my task well. Just a note of thanks to both the students and the "Collegian" in making our political campaign a successful endeavor in campus activities. The Freshman Class Officers and I thank those who supported us in the recent class elections. I wish to thank all those who supported me in the Freshman election and I assure you whatever I do will be in the students' interest.
