.An impressive ceremony before a compara
tively slim crowd marked the first post-war con
vocation yesterday morning in Recreation Hall.
Curiosity should have prompted a great deal
)lore people to witness the affair than were pres
ent. The last convocation was held in 1943, and as
feu• as some war-time students are concerned, it
was the first and only time they had an opportun
ity to hear President Hetzel speak. As it was, about
',500 students out of a possible 7000 or more took
advantage of the opportunity, while faculty only
half filled the section reserved for them, having
in attendance 365 from a staff that numbers close
to 900.
The only group that can claim a perfect at
tendance record is the cleans. Looking very state
ly in their academic attire, they seemed to ha've
filled the undergraduate body with a new kind of
humbleness never before experienced.... that is.
unless yOu've ever attended a previous convoca
tion.
/There is no moral to the story except that a lot
of interested* townspeople could have filled the
p.eats saved for that group of educators and stu
dents who thought they had something more
important to do for the hour.

EAT BREAKFAST' ill!
The. commo n rule among many people of
having a roll or a cup of coffe e for their
breakfast very frequently contributes to a
dull mind and a prysical condition of under
nourishment. In order to be mentally alert,
physically well, one should arise in sufficient
tim e to eat at leaSt fruit, some proteins such
as egg or meat, milk, cereal and of course
the even present coffee. Try It!!!!

Book Exchange
TO THE EDITOR—In times when sky-rocket-
ing price s are everyday occurrence, it is seldom
possible to point to a commodity and say, "Il you
purchase this product here, you can save money•"
But such is the case when I refer to the Student
Book Exchange, a non-profit student organization
sponsored jointly by All-College Cabinet and . the
Common Sense Club. The object is to .enable stu
dents to buy and sell their used texts at a price
fair to both parties.
Last year was the first time since pre-war days
that the exchange was in operation, and mainly
becaus e a fellow named •Charles Hill, president
Of the freshman class, saw the need and did his
job well. The e ffort involved in establishing the
Book Exchange was of large proportions, but bal
ances with the service it renders to the College
and its students.
Hill is no longer around to plug his pet project;
he was killed in an automobile accident outside
of Harrisburg on June 23 of thi s year on his way
hom e from Spring Semester classes. The product
of many day s and hours of planning on his part
is now available to students who like to make
things easier for themselves..
Pity the GraOs
:Seems funny to this person that grads .(who are
ex Gl's) must "dig" into their own pockets to cov
er the cost of AA books. Undergraduates (who are
ex-Gl's) are covered by the G.l. bill on this mat
ter. Then, wherein does the trouble lie? The gov
ernment will willingly pay up to $5OO per student
(graduate o r not). , They merely want th e College
to authorize what they finance: Would it be' too
much for the College to authorize AA books to all
students regardless s:d• status—as long as they . are
entitled to the G.I. benefits. It certainly wouldn't
be to its disadvantage although it might take a
little paper work.
Politics
While it is true that Clique nominating meeting
will not be held until Sunday, with final nomina
tions coming October 13. it might be well to re
mind all party members that already students are
"working" on possible slates.
Since most people are human, it behooves each
and every student to think about the men and
women he'd like running class affairs. Don't wait
until Sunday when Clique nominations are held
to find that you may be pressured into running
someone not suited for the job because you
haven't a few good suggestions to make from the
floor. Michael A. Blatz
