First, students who belong to the councils feel

;that many of the councils, during the meetings,
could never transact any official business be
cause there were not enough members present to

These students an. right, in one respect. School
t:ouncils do not have an important pOsitiOn, as
;';hey now stand, in student government. But,
on the other hand, 'this has been the fault of the
.I;ouncil members. They attempt no reform; they
no evil because their eyes are closed; they
pass no helpful legislation to . improve school fa

v.o interest; and, like ducks in a mill pond, 'they
lAvirl around in a never ending rut. They are
willing to shift the brunt of blame upon the coun-

What do school councils do? So far, all that

i)oses are they to fulfill? What improvement
Cave they made and what obligations have they
met? We would say none. We have seen none.
The school council, as a representative unit in
All-College Cabinet, is needed. This is one
;uedium in which all the problems of students in

acted as that iron; instead, they degenerated

A Toast
We present the following contribution—ob
viously far from oln silly symphonies—but. writ
ten in all sincerity and designed to provoke a bit
of thought in the
. carefree collegiate:
Come fill your glasse.s all you lads
FOr four years now I've known you.
Let's drink to the one who's first to die
Where e'er the four winds blow you.
Let's drink to those who won't come back,
And again to those who do.
And another yet to old Penn State,
Once more--yott '42,
IYon't think of the days that lie ahead—
Of the war, and the Japs, and the Hun.
But dream of the days M '3B
When we were first joined as one
Think of Keps and Duke, and good old Mac,
Damn Maggie Woods, and the rest,
You can bet that not all of us will be back,
'42—it was one of the best!
So fill them up again you lads
And raise your glasses high.
Let's . tivink . to those of us that come back
Anti break glass's for those that'•die.
