Ci.u I: wa.s m town last night for a Jo Hays-for-Senate
dniiiei. i!e appealed on campus under the auspices of Pi
Lambda Sigma, political science society and the student
cabinet ot the University Christian Association.
UCA and Pi Lambda Sigma plan to piesent a similar
piogiain with a prominent Republican congressman from
Pennsylvania as the speaker. The organizations are still
working on an alignments for this event.
The pui poses of the talks are to acquaint students
with outstanding political figures and to encourage re
sponsible citizenship by a greater awareness of the major
policy decisions which confront the nation.
These are laudable aims, and Pi Lambda Sigma and
the University Christian Association are to be congratu
lated on their outstanding efforts to fulfill them.
Perhaps equally valuable to the student is the chance
to meet and tall: with prominent political figures on a
pei son-to-person basis. A great deal was added to yester
day’s events by the informal atmosphere which character
ized the program.
First Hand Facts
Liberal Aits Student Council members learned Tues
day night that Richard C. Maloney, assistant dean of the
LA College, will propose at the next faculty meeting that
officeis of the council be allowed to sit in on the faculty
meetings.
The pioposal is a follow-up on last year’s plan, when
two representatives sat m on the meetings. If the officer
plan goes through, it would mean five student representa
tives at the meetings this year.
The idea was suggested by the council to its adviser,
the Rev. Preston Williams, who earned the suggestion to
Maloney, according to Louis Phillips, council president.
Maloney will take the proposal to the Oet. 23 faculty
meeting.
Maloney originally suggested that the invitation to
the faculty meetings include the entire council, but it was
decided this would be a little too unwieldy, and the final
plan will probably include just council officers.
And on the heels of this move to bring LA students
and faculty closer together, Maloney also has promised
to send a copy of the faculty newsletter and faculty
bulletin to each of the council members, Phillips said.
Tlie cooperation between the LA council and the faculty
is to be commended. This student-faculty relationship
should result in suggestions and ideas valuable to both
sides.

Letter:
Readers Decry
Grid Emphasis
TO THE EDITOR: The Oct. 7 edi
torial page cited a floating half
holiday as a stimulus to a feeling
of e>prit-de-corns on the part of
the student body. Closeiv tied
in with this was a justification
for intercollegiate athletics and
athletic scholarships.
An inteu-ollegiate football
game, unless oveily stressed, does
provide constructive ’recreation
both for the players and the spec
lator-. However, it is inexcusable
to make college football the big
business it i-. today.
It is all very well lo juslify
intercolleqiule athletics on the
basis of ihe Greek idea of "mens
sana in copore sana"—notwith
standing the fact, however, that
a sound mind nowadays is rarely
found, there is always the danger
that spectator sports indulged in
excess lead to a sound bottom in
stead of a sound body.
A de-emphasis of mter-scholas
tie athletics to inua-scholastic
activities surely would be for the
better. Similaily, a football game
should be an activity for the play
ers, not their major
It is regrettable that the major
college achievement of many of
the football players is that they
achieved a relative degree of pro
ficiency at tossing a leather ball
to the subordination of their for
mal education.
The purpose of our university
is "to promote liberal and prac
tical education ... in the several
pursuits and professions of life."
We hardly think that playing
football falls under these cate
gories. A student whose only
means of gaining admission lo a
university is the fact that he plays
football, whether he receives a
scholarship or not, should never
be admitted.
Let the football team be com
posed of those students who have
legitimately qualified to attend
the university in keeping with its
stated purpose. If they are able
to contribute to our football team,
so much the better.

Words to Spare
Humor 'Walks On!
—And With Relish
By Dick Drayne
Don’t think a classical concert can’t have its light
moments. At least, not if you judge by the Danish National
Orchestra, performance at Sunday night’s Artists Series
concert,
John Frandsen, conductor of the Danish orchestra,
followed throughout the con
cert the protocol of walking on
and off the stage during the
applause between numbers.
Each time he walked on, of
course, he received an ovation
from the audience, and when
he walked off the applause
was directed toward the entire
orchestra.
After the program was well
along and there had been a
number of walk-ons by Frand
sen, he strode off stage and mo
ments later a figure appeared
from the edge of the stage and
walked on.
The audience, assuming it
was Frandsen again, applaud
ed loudly. The figure continued
his determined walk across the
stage undaunted by the ova
tion, then stopped and casually
took his seat in the violin sec
tion.
The audience was busy
laughing at its own mistake
when the “real” Frandsen
strode onto the stage in the
same manner as he had before.
As the applause rose he walk
ed across the stage then

stopped in front of the tardy
violinist, bowed giaeiousl.v . . ,
and continued to his place on
the podium.
It seems there is more orig
inality among employees in the
downtown eateries than some
of us are willing to admit. A
friend of ours found recently
that the normally enthusiastic
waitresses at the ‘‘unusual”
restaurant aren’t against try
ing a little humor when they
run across the chance.
The friend in question had
just joined a group at a booth
when one of them pointed out
that she_ had mistakenly re
ceived pickles with her order
of toast.
Our friend decided he would
also have toast, and told tha
waitress that, he would like
relish instead of pickles with
the toast.
So . . . the waitress returned
with an order of toast spread
with yes, relish. But our
friend was saved after one bite
by an order of ungarnished
toast which the waitress had
hidden behind her back.
