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

car. If you adhere to the speed regu-

lations, you can avoid a nasty acci

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

200 club, O.K. ?

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.

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.
