KIPPERS SALT, DRY / AND SMOKE DIZZY DEANS 19 -- 1
Fresh off the wire this morning is the salting u drying / and smoking administered
the Deans of the Highacres young gentlemen's submissive sphere league by the "scourge
of the see Yankee Kippers. The outcome was 19 for the Kippers behind Karpinski's
no-walk pitching and 1 (yes one) for the dehydrated Deans behind Fisher's 10-walk
pitching. Pelick had 3 two-base hits; Ungvarsky 2; Young 2; and Levan 1.
TO ERR IS HUMAN; TO ADMIT IT AIIITUE
Balloting ?Monday, April 28 was to obtain a referendum from the students on two
issues; the publishing of a COLLEGIAN pictorial review of the year and a suggested
increase in the appropriation from student funds for the spring picnic. On the question
of having the picture review of the year's activities the balloting was 89 against
publishing and 39 for publishing. This was less that the two—thirds majority re—
quired to reverse a decision of the Student Council. In the case of the spending of
more money on a picnic the vote was 99 to 26 in favor of more money, more than enough
to reverse the decision of the Council.
Meeting on Tuesday to consider the wishes of the students as indicated by the
balloting, the Council voted to waive the two-thirds, technicality and go along with
the wishes of the majority on shelving the picture review. On the matter of the
picnic, Council voted to add $ 30 transferred from the COLLEGIAN budget and bring
the picnic appropriation up to $6lO.

LETTER TO THE. EDITOR DEPARTTrINT
COUNCIL OR CABAL
After shouldering the accusations of last weeks (sic) article which
claimed we were a Neo-Nazi group Wiibouring the expectations of compelling
each student to kneel to the axe, we have but this to say; tommy rot. We
never anticloated forming such a faction and if any rumor cited otherwise it
was merely a caprice of speculation.
But let us not confuse the basic issue which your co-editor in a most
spurious manner has attempted to do. Our - contention is and will be to the
very end of this college year that in consideration of proMoting the general
welfare of the students through co-ordination of student social activities,
the governing group has failed pathetically.
On questioning any member of Student Council of the reasons for this fiasco
they will reply with one of two answers; lack of funds or a general disinterest
characterized by the student body. In taking such a feeble defense they app-
ear to have fOrgotten that in order to utilize the finance at hand, a certain
dcgreeof managerial perseverance and disgression (sic) is necessary. In re
lation to the second reply they also could have exercised a little forethought
by remembering that interest in social activities must be aroused and created,
it is not concomitant with their much prized honor of acquiring office.
Inconsideration of obtaining specific grounds for their failure and in
tended impeachment we suggest that they institute a poll concerned with
questioning all the students seperately (sic) of their degree of Satisfaction
with this years activities. If a majority of the students can gratuitously
give them an affirmative answer, we will make like all old , instigators and
slowly fade away.
Ed. note: Such communications as this help to make a college paper a lively
soundingboard for student life and opinion. The COLLEGIAN welcomes such student
opinion, but calls attention to the fact that the COLLEGIAN takes no responsi.
bility Tor the opinion or the mechanics of composition and spelling in these
letters.
