AURORA BOREALIS
THEY WENT Gut to view the amine Mueslis—
and when it was all tvu tt Lost them and then
lellow students appiommately $5OO
Such is the stony of Tuesday night's wend epi
sode here, an epe.ode that saw college students— ,
freshmen, sophomores, plums and seniors
'much thi'ough the sheets of town, Wadi. taaffic,
wreck parking meters, build fires in the middle of
streets, club fe low students who t etained theb
sense of stability, smash .1 - Het lights and campus
lights, defy every semblance of law and oi del
Yes, it stet ten out innocently enough Flom what
the Collegian has been able to gather, the instiga
tois of the demonstration just Caine out to see the
aurora mealis—tailhant vivid lights flashing
across the Voithein skies
But before many moments had passed, a pajama
parade had been foi med t und the students marched
to Frances Atha) ton Hall in an dim t M break in
Hue's where they should have been stopped
But the] e' was nobody to stop them And, Inciden
ta ly, who could',
encouraged by this much freedom of action,
they proceeded to kin a ehei y targets, smash
campus lights
Then they turned down College Avenue, main.:
up reinfoi cements like 4 snowball rolling down-
In 1, wrecking and swishing parking meters
And, finally with a sudden singe of ienseles ,
boyish enthusiasm not unlike that engendered by
an Adolf m a Benito they clammed for 'umbel, for
tar, foi f, eshmen
Why°
Wel', perhaps it was just the momentary &sue
to rebel—rebel against authei ity, zebel against the
law, rebel against rider, rebel against eve ything
If it was it was just natuial alga to cut,
lode—then pet huff it can he e•• eased Perlyips
BUT THE Collegian is a bit skeptical about
this For—us some of the hat men who attempted
to prevent the booth e will attest—not all of the
"ilngleadel s' we,e staidents Some of them were
just Want ordsnai y inedms, mstigatoi s, hell-bent
to ruse hell
Neve) theless, students did play the maim
and 'students did cause most of the damage
And who's going to pay the bill
Es Ply •mgle student enrolled in the College—
whether he pal titillated in the demonstiation or
whether he was sound asleep in his loom
And the money will come not from the "damage"
or "Lrealuge" fee—as most of the students feel
it will—hut from an increase to class dues Poi the
"oreakage" fee covers only College property, not
ough prime) t 3, tint m ;vote pi open ty
NOW LET'S be sensible about this whole matte'
Let's be frank
This Cpllege is an institution of higher learning
As a component putt of that institution, every
student should feel it his duty to augment the
honor of it, not detract from it, to respect College
author ity, not rebel against it, to ietain a sense of
responsibility, not °stile it
If the etudent does not feel that this should be
so, if the student feels that this'is asking too much
of him—then he doesn't belong here
There are thousands and thousands of 'others—
residents of the state, graduates of certified high
schools and pi ep schools—who want to come here,
who are willing to assume these iesponsibilities
as a student, but mho can't conic here because the
enrollment quota is filled—filled partly by fellows

NOW LET'S remain reasonable
If you want to have fun, go ahead and have it
But why deltroy College inopeity 9
Why destroy botOlgh moperty ,
Why destroy private property'
Why inflict upon all students a penalty which
they do not deserve 9
Why make all students pay fol something which
only a few cati4ed 9
Why rebel against law and ordei
Why place the administration of your college in
an exceedingly embai rasing position''
Above all, why sully the reputation of you, Col
lege, of which you vom self are a pai
FOR YOUR own good, remembei this, if nothing
Once you're out or College, you'll find that life
has no loom for you unless you have a sense of
iesponsibility, a respect for authority, a respect for
other people's property, a steeled defense against
spur-of-the-moment outbursts that may do mole
harm than good
--Let's stmt cultivating these things
