However, must a student be irCtured or killed
by an automobile while walking to class before a
pavement is laid along Shortlidge road between
the Infirmary and the Dairy Building?
Especially during the Winter when deep snow
covers the dirt path now leading up to "The Hill,"
students are forced to walk in the street Or else

In the Spring when P ,- ,!nn State becomes the vie

town. it is heavily traveled. Certainly we do not
want any student to be injured along this road,
but without a sidewalk this danger is greatly
increased.
As the College grows not only must new build
ings be erected, but also sufficient safety measures
must be taken to protect an enlarged student body.
You might be the person who loses his life
if this improvement is not. undertaken. Al
though this problem is of great concern to Ag
students, it is as equally important to students
who study in other Schools of the College.
We suggest that just as soon as weather condi
tions permit, a sidewalk should be laid inside the
present wooden post markers along Shortlidge
road.
The Ag Student Co•lncil should see that plans.
for this improvement are made without fail.
will place posters at spots where students
cross grass, and will arrange with Walter
Trainor, of Grounds and Buildings, to have
new walks placed where they are needed.
Ted Rubin said that Di. Glenn, of the CoHew
Health Service, had recommended that no steps bc.:
taken toward innoculating students against influ
enza unless there should be an outbreak of the
disease, in which case the Health Service would b.
ready for action.
Eugene Fulmer, junior class president, reported
that although not all bills have been received for
the Junior Prom, the class is so far "in the black.'
Jean Nelson was seated as WSGA representa
tive to Cabinet, replacing Mary Lou Waygood,
who resigned. Robert Crist replaced Rudolph
Brannaka as .Agriculture Student 'Council repre
sentative.
All-College president Robert Foote appointed
Sarge chairman of he campus committee for the
United Student Organization. . .
The trustees have approved the placing of
an All-College bulletin board at the northwest
intersection of Pollock Road and the
according to. a letter from SnMuel, IC. Hostetter.
Russell Smiley was asked to Contact George
W. Ebert, grounds and b.uiktings iiiperintend
ent,. about a definite construction date.
David Malickson was' appointed representative
to the State College Safety Council, aui advisory
body which had asked that Cabinet send a repre
sentative to its meetings. •
Sarge suggested that attempts be made to re
lieve the drabness of the College's graduation
exercises, so that they might serve as a fitting
clitnax to the students' four years in college.
Charles Pleegor was appointed to head a com
mittee, to include Fred Kecker, Russell Smiley,
and Jean Nelson, to look into the matter.
Albert Green was, asked to contact Dean
Schott, Neil Fleming. and Harold Gilbert,
about limiting attendance at Rec Hall athletic
events to the capacity of the building.
This would .eliminate inconvenience to specta
tors and would also insure compliance with the fire
laws. It was• suggested that attendance at Rec Hall
athletic events be placed on a students first, fac
ulty second, and outsiders last, basis.
Blatz asked Miss Pearl Weston, acting dean of
women, to explain what definite rules govern be
havior in the lounges of the girls' dormitories.
Miss Weston said that no such rules exist, and that
the only test for correct conduct in the lounges was
"would the students concerned be ashamed to
behave in the same manner in front of their par
ents?" If the students could answer "no" to this
question, she stated, no dormitory would find fault
with their behavior. •
Asked about the matter of coeds receiving,
undeserved black marks, Miss Weston asked
that such matters be brought to her attention.
Should other questions about regulations arise,
she asked that they be referred to WSGA.

TO THE EDITOR: I'd like to dedicate this to my
"friend" and dentist, Dr. Drill D. Kay:
Your dentist is really a well-meaning fellow
It breaks his heart to hear your painful bellow
And besides, imagine what that horrified scream
Will do to the morale of a waiting room team!
II
When he stares into your mouth and mutters,
"Hummmmm, they're bad!" •
Don't think that look in his eye is born of delight—
It's truly one of pity for you in your plight.
III•
As he takes his drill domin from the gadget by the
' .
table
Don't cringe 'and grip the chair-arms as hard as
you're able.
•
Open your mouth, relaxed and wide,
And let him remedy the evil inside.
IV
Don't bite his finger when he strikes a nerve,
It's for the good of humanity he's striving to serve.
All of his crunching and grinding of teeth,
He's doing for good health V
and your ultimate relief.
That's what my dentist told me today.
As he lowered. my chair and smiled sweet and
tenders
Then he kihdly remarked as toward the door
did shay,,
"We've a 'Slte next. Monday—l'm sure you'll re
member!".

Dean Schott Vouches
For Bleachers Safely
"The bleachers used in Recrea
tion Hall are absolutely safe,"
stated Dean Carl P. Schott of the
physical. education department.
This statement was confirmed by
George W. Ebert, superintendent
of Grounds and Buildings.
There is no chance that they
will collapse as happened at Pur
due University during a recent
basketball game. said Dean Schott.
This accident took the lives of
three spectators and injured 706
others.
,•
•
In contrast to the ones used at
Purdue, which are constructed on
the spot, Stale uses factory built
grand-stands that are - tested to
support weight in excess of that
for which they are used.
Also, the bleachers at. Purdue
are much 'higher than the ones
used here, being 30 feet off the
flobr, while State's are only 12-14
feet high.
The bleachers at State are in
spected prior to each time they
are used, and if any section
should show any dangerous
weakening. it is condemned im
mediately.
All non-fraternity men are
urged to attend a meeting of the
Independent Men's Association in
401 Old Main at 7:15 o'clock to
night, according to Eugene Ful
mer, president. Plans for a-dance
will be discussed.
