Hat men at'e the students who wear funny lit 'tie hats when it rains. Men's Hat Societies have long been a source of contention. Extremists urge their abolition; conservatives accept them as they exist. With 'traditional nonchalance and disinterest, the ma jority of students never think about them. We aren't radical in Our views concerning these hon c varies—but we aren't exactly conservative. Definitely' we disapprove of them as they exist. Froth ' hints •of memberships being sold for $lO, from rumors of political influences, from whis pers of "good kids" helping fraternity brothers, mite wonder if deserving men always wear' the !hats. To be fair, we must admit that no honor ary can find a perfect system for choosing mem i We realize, too, that more deserving men are elected: than remain unelected. But the sys im Mad' certainly ;be . improved. And what about these semi-barbaric initiations snvOlVing the ski trail? Judging by the be draggled, beat-up appearance of initiates, there must be something. more than rumor here: ' What, do, Hat Men do anyway? They report :Erosh customs violators; they help at football Games;- thley have dances—and they wear their hats when it rains. Still trying to be fair, we must recognize the possibility of Hat Societies dbing good' work. Having admitted this, we feel free to' add 'that innumerable opportunities for service work still exist. New freshman men will be in increased need of wise and kindly assist ance with orientation problems. Students - need scholarships. Defense wants challenge action. Hat Men are chosen for superior leadership and contributions to activities. We think they have what it takes. We also think it is time for them to . display a little of this latent ability. In other words, we would like to be shown that :Fiat Men can do more than wear hats And We Fan For It! Campus politics are great stuff4of the people, by the people, and for the people—and we all fall for it. Of the peoplea few smart guys bent on graft ;and glory set themselves aside to pick and mold campus leaders, IVlembers of the same clique 'Often do not follow the - Same platform. Their 'actions are influenced' more- by personal gains ithan party policies. Witness' recent clique uP set. .Two strong members sought the same goal. When one achieved clique chairmanship, the other dropped , out. Purpose of the people was not vital enough to keep them working together. As a result, the party is gasping for breath in its last lap. By the people 7 --afraid the opposing party might ,submit a similar list of candidates, one campus clique refused to announce its slate until the oth er party had. A slate of champion pugs and cam pus smoothies with Sandwich Shop spreads is not 4 .)y the people. For the people—finance board or nd finance board, it's not always the best man who wins. Maybe the money does go through the College's ;hands before being received by the select few, but motives of petty grafters are not always known. Having wrangled her way into one party Ae.st, a haughty "politicienne" is bragging about . i.he size of anticipated profits on junior blazkrs.
