HONESTY ON CAMPUS
:torials
Especially noticeable about the campus this year is the fact that (pnter
: so many honest students# There are few schools where one can leave his
>ks and other personal belongings and upon returning find them still intact*
.en on Thursdays there is a mixup of R, 0* T# C. coats and hats, but this
.nation is usually straightened out in a short time*
1 STUDENT COUNCIL
Student Council held its weekly meeting Wednesday, fifth period and dis
sed the following issues:
1# Miss Dolores Di Rubbo, Joan Griesing, and Mrs* Ralph Krecker, and Miss
Bess Pengelly of the Women's Auxiliary appeared before the council* Mrs,
Krecker and Miss Pengelly, members of the Women's Auxiliary, stated that
the auxiliary would like to serve tea at May Day Ceremonies* The dance,
which will be conducted in the evening, will be financed by the Student
Council#
2* Mr# Mattem stated that he had received only one petition for new
Council members and because it had eighteen signatures on it (there are
thirty-five members in the sophomore class) he felt that an election would
not be needed* The Council agreed with him, and it accepted the two new
members, Nick Pelick and Elise Kreiger*
3# Jim Ustynoski explained to the Council why the R* 0# T* C* Ball
Committee had exceeded its budget* He said it was due to the fact that
the orchestra which had been expected to play at the dance had disbanded
and another orchestra (charging a higher fee) had to be called upon. He
stated that the money obtained from the sale of the book printed at that
time would be enough ..to cover the balance#' Because the Student-Faculty
Board had ruled that the money could not be used to cover the expenses
of the ball, Bob Tomsho proposed that the faculty be asked for advice,
Mr# Mattern stated that he v/ould take the matter before the faculty meet
ing on Wednesday night if the Council would appoint him. He was appointed#
!u Dave Edwards appeared before the Council and asked the reason for
having a Valentine's Day dance on Friday, Februaryll3, when twelve of the
boys are going to play in a basketball game. Bob Tomsho replied by saying
that he was not aware of the game and that the one basketball player on
the social committee didn't have any objection when the date was chosen.
Mr* Mattern also stated that the Student-Faculty Board is not in favor of
a week-day dance, Pat Tomsho said that it was the best possible date
(because Lent starts next week and that many students would not attend).
With Friday as the date for the dance more students would be satisfied
than if the dance was held later, Pat said*
5* Dave also wanted to know why the financial report, which according to
the constitution was due two weeks before the end of the semester has not
been published. President Andy Karpinski said that the report will be
published soon#
6# Dave bought the matter before the Council concerning the membership#
The constitution states that the Council should have five sophomore and
four freshman members, but because Bob Tomsho is now a sophomore the
membership is now six to three in favor of the sophomores# This situation
was due to a conflict in the constitution, and the Council (after a short
discussion and some advice from Mr# Mattern) decided that the constitution
should be amended. Mr* Mattern also suggested that the Council think this
over for at least a week before any formal action is taken.
7# Bob Tomsho reported that the budget forothebSt. Valentine's Day dance
was sixty-nine dollars, which is under the amount alloted for the affair*
He also reportedthat the social committee is beginning work on a new social
calendar#
The meeting was adjourned*
