Members gave, two reasons for this recommendation: 1) to eliminate the overload of com bined executive and legislative duties and 2) to utilize the proven theory of the Federal Government, Members felt if a separation of powers system were implemented, this type of student government would educate students in the as pects of the Federal Government for their post-college citizenship. Students would also be afforded the opportunity for maximum participation in government, through a legislative assembly elected directly from the classes. The workshop report suggest ed that proportional representa tion be used in deciding how many members would be cho sen from each class for the leg islative body. It recommended that Cabinet set up a committee to investigate the feasibility of government reorganization.

Did you walk under a ladder on the way to class? Did a black cat cross your path? If you can answer “yes” to any of the above questions, you’re in for a particularly rough day—to day is Friday the 13th and the first of three such unlucky days in 1959. No one is quite sure of the origin of Friday the 13th. Our mythology editor says it results from a combination of several superstitions. Friday is held as an unlucky day by many peoples for var ious reasons. The Mohammedans think it's unlucky because of a legend that Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit on a Fri day. In the Mohammedan re ligion, Friday is also the sab bath and, according to the Koran, the day on which Adam was created. In the Christian world, too, Fri- Approved Fraternities All fraternities have been approved for the entertainment of women guests tonight and tomorrow night except Kappa Alpha Psi and Alpha Phi Al pha.

Long before the advent of Chris tianity, the ancient Romans and: Budhists also regarded Friday as unluckv. Many people today believe that Friday is a bad day to start any new work, but the Norse thought Friday was a lucky day. The number 13 is believed to be unlucky by many peoples. Chris- IS STUDYING NECESSARY? Once there were three roommates and their names were Walter Pellucid, Casimir Fing, and Leßoy Holocaust and they were all taking English lit. They were all happy, friendly, outgoing types and they all smoked Philip Morris Cigarettes as you would expect from such a gregarious trio, for Philip Morris ,is tire very essence of sociability, the very spirit of amity, tho very soul of concord, with its tobacco so mild and true, ita packs so soft and flip-top, its length so regular or long size. You will find when you smoke Philip Morris that the birds sing for you and no man’s hand is raised against you. Each night after dinner Walter and Casimir and Leßoy went to their room and studied English lit. For three hours they sat in sombre silence and pored over their books and then, squinty and spent, they toppled onto their pallets and sobbed them selves to sleep. This joyless situation obtained all through September and October. Then one November night they were all simultane ously struck by a marvelous idea. “We are all studying tho same thing,” they cried. “Why, then, should each of us study for three hours? Why not each study for one hour? It is true we will only learn one-third as much that way, but it does not matter because there are three of us and next January before the exams, we can get together and pool our knowledge I” Oh, what rapture then fell on Walter and Casimir and Leßoy 1 They flung their beanies into the air and danced a echottische and lit thirty or forty Philip Morrises and ran out to pursue the pleasure which had so long, so bitterly, been missing from their lives. Alas, they found instead a series of grisly misfortunes. Walter, alas, went searching for love and was soon going steady with a coed named Invicta Breadstuff, a handsome lass, but, alas, hopelessly addicted to bowling. Each night she bowled five hundred lines, some nights a thousand. Poor Walter’s thumb was a shambles and his purse was empty, but Invicta just kept on bowling and in the end, alas, she left Walter for a pin-setter, which was a terrible thing to do to Walter, especially in this case, because the pin-setter was automatic. Walter, of course, was far too distraught to study his English lit, but he took some comfort from the fact that his room mates were studying and they would help him before the exams. But Walter, alas, was wrong. His roommates, Casimir and Leßoy, were nature ’overs and they used their free time to go for long tramps in the woods. One November night, alas, they were treed by two bears, Casimir by a brown bear and Leßoy by a Kodiak, and they were kept in the trees until mid- January when winter set in and the brown bear and the Kodiak went away to hibernate. So when the three roommates met before exams to pool their knowledge, they found they had none to pool! Well sir, they had a good long laugh about that and then rushed to the kitchen and stuck their heads in the oven. It was, however, an electric oven and the effects were, on the whole, beneficial. The wax in their ears got melted and they acquired a healthy tan and today they are married to a lovely young heiress named Ganglia Bran and live in the Canal Zone, where there are many nice boats to wave at. ®ios9M«iShuim»* And here’s a wave at you filter smokers. Have you tried Marlboro—same fine flavor, new improved filter and belter makln’s—made by the makers of Philip Morris, sponsors tians regard it as unlucky because there were 13 persons at the Last Supper. Our founding fathers, never theless, went ahead and started this country with 13 states. To further incur the wrath of the gods they flew a flag with 13 stars and 13 stripes. Friday the 13th also brings to mind the words of a well-known television comedian “Lotsa luck!” On Camps JfeSholman the Author of "Rally Round the Flap, Boys!
