Well Done, Sophs r iash-card rooting sophomores and their cheer ier directors did a magnificent job with the ovel and unfamiliar technique of forming letters r.d designs with small pieces of colored card ard. „ Noticing that the fad has spread to Georgia oh and Southern Methodist, we glean a valu ■le tip from the Engineers. Although their first „empt was a fiasco, they discovered that the ist effective way to hold the cards is parallel the slope of the stands, with the upper edge t below the eyes. About 99 and 44/100ths percent of the sophs naved in the mature way we expected they ould and should. But if the few childish ones :st can’t resist the temptation to toss their cards the winds, may we suggest they sit in another !ion? A Little Louder, Seniors i s there something about the appellation ■ senior” that denotes apathy and lack of en thusiasm? The sitting-on-hands lack of interns, in cheering in the senior sections was disappoint ing in contrast to the pep evinced by the sophs ind juniors. Being on the home stretch toward that coveted leepskin doesn’t suddenly make vocal expres :ons of loyalty undignified or inappropriate, fter all, who should be expected to love the d school better than one who has stuck out three ars of its triumphs and defeats—its virtues and faults? \.side to cheerleaders. Perhaps by standing on i ramps, like the West Virginians did, you uld be seen more easily, and be better able to id the rooting. You might also stage your pep rallies where ■.nounced, and have someone around to turn on le PA system. That way your original ideas could ■ appreciated more.

Corner Rumors Saturday’s game should run a close second to Homecoming— in the number of antics and returning alums. Congratulations to the sophomores lor their flashboard routines—nice that these young sters are learning to spell. Frothy, mug and all, gave our boy the Lion, even with his new suit, a fight for stellar position. A slightly forlorn West Virginia Mountaineer played a “bit” part, Jim Dunaway, promotion man ager for Froth, filled “Frothy’s” suit (and probably emptied his mug). “Fuzzy” Lamade wore the latest thing in lion’s apparel—a two-toned suit! Some psychology graduates hopes to find jobs treating men ial cases in clinics, but Albert “Duke” Cassidy, former psychology student, beats all. He left several weeks ago for the Philippines to take care of an island of nuts! Coconuts, that is. -- Cassidy purchased the 9c _xre tract, just off the coast of Leyte, during his service with the Army intelligence service in the last war. For 600 pesos (about $300) he obtained the island, complete with copra plantation, from an old Spanish couple. James Milholland, acting president of the College, and Samuel K. Hostetter, treasurer and assistant to the president in charge of business and finance, were made Masons at sight recently in a cere mony presided over by the Right Worshipful Grand Master George H. Deike. Deike, of Pittsburgh, is a member of the Board of Trustees. By Jo Fox From State to Nuts TO THE EDITOR: The All-College Cabinet is at present conducting a formal investigation of the existing conditions in the College dining com mons. Reports on the committee’s formation and progress nave been printed in Collegian during the past week for the benefit of all those inter ested. From Mr. Smith’s letter, I must presume that he is either uninformed or wishes to take the matter out of the hands of the student govern ment body which represents him. As All-College President, I should like to re queue that Mr. smith, and any others feeling as he does, will bear with us and give Cabinet an op portunity to complete its investigation. When all of the pertinent facts have been gathered and weighed by Cabinet, I can assure you that appro priate action will be taken. Let us strengthen our student government by proving we can solve our own problems in an adult and democratic manner. —William Lawless All-College President Tuesday.
