Sample '39 mamuong Editor This Issue News Editor This Issue__ Friday, October 15, 1937 STUDENT COUNCIL REORGANIZATION THE 'MACHINE:HY of reorganization for Student Council has swung into action. It is the time for those who have advocated reform with fairer rep resent4ion of students in government to support this reorganization. It is time for them to 'cooperate. Many students are familiar with the history of the movement. It came to a climax last - April during the political campaign to elect class officers. Student gov- ernment reform became the pledge of each man running for office. Each one elected was' pledged to reorganize Student Council. The movement was supported by the Collegian Now it. seems that definite action has materialized Actual reorganization is being attempted.. It can fail. But it will not if those who are interested in student government support it now. And it will succeed if it received the support of the individual person in each school. They voted for reform. It is their duty, as well, to support. There is the final analysis government. students and student leaders alike have the oppor- tunity of performing a great service to the future of student government Hesitancy in attending discussions and meetings may prove fatal. Student leaders may become disgusted and ignore the voters, taking the work entirely into their own hands. It will be diffidence on the part of the genL eral student body that will be to blame if this happens. CONGRATULATIONS TO LA VIE LA VIE IS TO BE congratulated upon her first-honor rating for last year. LaVie has always been a top notcher in her field. It is fine that.she has maintained her, position. Last year's editor, N'Vlt Peterson in par ticular is deserving of commendation: This year's staff, we teal confident, will maintain La Vie's position SOUR NOTES IN THE MAIL comes another of the numerous com plaints the Collegian has received about the following "Going to amplify those chimes so that they can be heard five miles in the country? .Why amplify?'Why not just take the infernal, discordant jangle five miles Out in the country or even ten—and leave it there!" • Objectors to the terrific jangling of the Old Main clocli'every 15 minutes have been so numerous, and our reverie so utterly shattered. upon numerous occasions that w•e agree that the noise is tremendous and annoy- Without casting any aspersions upon the boys and girls whose class gift they represent;.we do think that the ringing of them might be modified to twice an hour or so, and still keep everyone informed as to what time it is. NOT OVER YET TO FRESHMEN WHO may be heartened by the an nouncement that there will be but two more R. 0. T. C. parades this fall we wish to say that this silliness will be followed by belly-rubbing on the Armory floor where ycu will learn to splutter all over one side of the struc ture. Then there will he dry lectures where the teacher will be as mystified as the student as to why a parallel should be drawn between an azimuth and intestinal for titude. Then there will be more shooting, and in the spring, parades again. The show never closes down. It has a full-season LABOR PAINS THE A. P. of L. CONVENTION in Denver has been an interesting thing to follow. The A. F. of L. is un questionably much stronger in the field of labor organ ization than it has been for some time. Clever poli ties by William Green added to an overdose from the public standpoint of John L. Lewis-have been driving numbers into the old line fold. NOW the A. F. of L. brings forth an interesting argu ment in saying that the NLRB shrill not have to medi ate union disputes. It would appdar that they have something there It brings to mind the Cane at Ambridge, Pa., recently when an A. F. of L. majority walked out because the company wouldn't deal with them when the NLRB had ordered an electric company to deal with the CIO. The NLRB in this instance overruled a court order that de manded recognition of the A. F. of L. It appears that a perfect set-up has been provided all the way along the line for a cagey old bird like Green. CAMPUSEER The Old Main Bell: Lou Bell, journalism prof, had a froth visitor the other day in his Old 3iain office. It seems the fellow W:LS Sent down from Eng Comp building.

Philosophy Is Great Stuff II we hadn't seen it, ourselves the other 'night in the Corner we wouldn't believe it. But the Dna:km:in, in tellect and philosopher supreme, came traipsing down to the counter to pay It is dinner check with a napkin tucked in the last button hole of his vest. had he not been a great thinker, we would have Passed him by for a waiter. Perhaps, as philosophy goes, it was just a figment of Lhe imagination. Maybe we just thcught it was there. But as figments'go, this was TenlitY.

John told him this time he'd have to move. Still the gent hung around. Later John learned that the guy he'd been trying to kick off the field was none other than Ccl.
