CRIBBING-OUR NEW TRADITION!
The ,tholactic ethos tonnunttee's report on student
elibliing nes eats n none too savory condition lime. Last
vein when the name group completed a pieliminatv sar
sty, Coulon' and a few faculty membeis woe
tho onto ones to heal tlpnesults Incidents occurring at
the end of the Inst. semester leant one to belie, e that
Lithium; has ino,sed the stage mime it should he dis
cus,cil in oluspens It is tune to come into the open,
admit that time Pi a PINII condition hone, and take steps
tau and unpn osement
Authomtatrve and competent faculty and student
groups should take the Ll:hiring problem under consider -
ntaon munerhatels The wmmrtteee report gives a con
mete hams for action and it would he a gross mmtake
rt it were allowed to collect dust on the aundenuc shelf
One fact must Ito kept in mind when the necessrn
lan of action is detour red It is that there should be
no sepal titian of student and faculty interest Blame—
although the [aim is thstasteful—cannot be placed on
maim faculty in student,' Some students mould cidi
undo any conditions, some faculty monitors conduct
then courses and finals in such a manner that cribbing
is hound to clop up It Is not a case of faculty v 01...
student,. It is a case of faculty and students selans a
tanceiou+ growth, one that smacks of lateness
A LOST ART
Mans, loans yarn ago Diogenes wore himself out
LS lag to find an honeot man Today it seems that the
niodein Diogenes will v. cal himself out tiy mg to find an
intelligent tonvei•ationahst By °atm and onset ration
one would say that the art of convosation had pas.ed
into the limbo of othm fro gotten things
It is anni,lng to note what Lommonpiace, trite, and
ON en banal topics arc Injected into every everyday con
sin batten Can it be possible that our forefathers ovete
s..vung the same Inconsequential, mslgnificant, dull
thing- in tones past" But history thspioves that, fel
at one tone people at least knew how to make tom -
salon
The other day a bit of spicy talk like this was over
build on the campus It IS a typical °sample. One lad
as telling about the distance front hi. home to Elm,
lint it ought as well base been any other loan. And in
of dm to contain° the conto,ation anothei member of
the gi cup added thus phenomenal discovery, "Anyway,
it slue is far if you're walking" If this be cons
gite us athemc
115 W mans' tunes a (lac, is one accosted with "Nice
day, tent it?" And you ',Rote five inmates talking
about the weather in which neither of you are interested.
01 again it nught be, "Well, hoc's the 1,10" And the
ual reply comes back like an echo, "Not so had." Why
not simply grunt, it's camm on the facial muscles.
Then these is the fiatca nay dinner table cons er
sation—or is it lack of cominsation , At anv event
one n ould be hind-pieced to call the usual type of dm
]er table small-talk "cons ci sntion." The wind is not
pliable enough to coves such prattle Yet it goes on,
.ind on, and on, endlessly.
To all th, there , but one conclusion The alt of
coned Matron has 'wised, let us hope fo a I egUel eetioll.

and dragging a blasted reputation after him. The meas

these jokes but neglected to slip a copy of the magazine

Thr, >eel F. nth has eliminated a good bit of this
impala, dirt A drop in cash sales and a few grey
hairs among the business staff have been the lesult.
htudents have been braid to complain that the comic has
octerlotated because thole aren't enough dirty jokes in
it. Student humor embraces such "stuff" We don't
mean that this yew's Fi nth has become hilariously funny
because of this clean-up policy, yet the limbic is corn-
