Editorial Opinion
Thinking Big
To be big you must think big. Two progressive plans
announced by the University yesterday indicate thinking
towai d bigness.
To accommodate the 25,000 students expected on
campus in 1970, the University must both make better
use of its present facilities and increase other facilities.
Pollock Road, between Burrowes and Shortlidge
Roads, has long been a menace to both pedestrians and
duvets. President Eric A. Walker is well aware of the
problems and many times has predicted the eventual
closing of Pollock Road to vehicular traffic.
The University moved a step closer to closing the
road with the announcement yesterday that it will begin
an immediate feasibility study, an action requested by
the Board of Trustees.
Walter H. Wiegand, director of physical plant planning
and construction, set the possible implementation date for
September 1960. The sooner, the better, because until the
road is actually closed, there exists a strong possibility
of a serious accident occurring.
Closing Pollock Road will be costly, since it will re
quire new access roads to parking lots. It may mean the
loss of some parking spaces, although this is not to be
desired. And it will mark another milestone in the
changing University and the rise of the "walking campus."
But despite these disadvantages, it is an essential
change, for it is dictated by student safety.
The second step taken yesterday by the University to
plan ahead is the decision to begin immediate studies into
making preliminary sketches and estimates for possible
expansion of the Hetzel Union Building. All-University
Cabinet recommended expanding the HUB in November
and Board of Trustees accepted Cabinet's report in Jan
uary.
The HUB can hardly serve the needs of a 14,000 stu
dent body—let alone the 25,000 students expected to be
on campus by 1970. The report made by All-University
Cabinet should be a good basis to begin plans for expan
sion.
An Empty Room
The student body at large showed an evident disinter
est in student government reorganization last night when
no one attended an open committee meeting.
The meeting had been scheduled in order to explain
the principles of the reorganization plan which will be
voted on by the students in less than two weeks.
The reorganization committee has spent an entire
year of hard work devoted to making student government
more representative of the students only to find that
students apparently are not interested in their efforts.
Could it be that apathy toward student government
is so pronounced that not one out of approximately 15,000
students desired to learn in an hour or so the principles
that took the committee and committees in previous years
hundreds of hours to determine?
Close to 700 students signed a petition to bring the
reorganization plan to the students in a referendum. All-
University Cabinet complied with the request because it
felt students should be able to express their views on a
system that would affect them now and in the years to
come.
Unless students begin to show interest in reorganiza
tion soon, the results of the referendum will not be indica
tive of true knowledge of the plan and strong conviction
on the part of the students in voting for or against it.

The trend started long, long ago with dyed-to-match
sweaters. It should have stopped there. But fashion
authorities have since plied the
fair sex with everything from
colored stockings to multi
hued hair streaks

Dyed-to-match hair is com
ing into vogue much more
slowly. Most females still are
satisfied with being blondes,
brunettes or redheads. But
there probably will come a
day when those ordinary hair
colors will be passe.
When that point in this
match-or-be-matched craze is
reached, women may well be
undergoing a daily hair spray.
For it will be a serious breach
of fashion if one's tresses don't
match the costume of the day.
Trees, when they are lopped and cut, grow up again
in a short time, but men, being once lost, cannot easily
be recovered.

THURSDAY, APRIL 9, 1959
by Pat Evans
,•? The latest word in fashion
The next step in this gro
tesque succession no doubt will
be colored face powder. A corn-.
pact's mirror will then reveal
not a shiny nose, but a streak
of flesh-toned skin showing
through the powder.
Along the same line is the
present off-beat lipstick fad.
Not too long ago madame's lips
were red, or, in the case of tho
younger woman, sometimes
pink.
But high fashion now requires
the pale, bloodless look. And
just in case the effect can't be
variety of lipstick, there's now
a tube of white glop available.
We expect the next shade out
to be olive drab.
Even footwear—shoes, in ev
eryday unfashionable speech
—has been affected. The elite
in the world of fashion have
all but done away with the
old standards.
Now they are shod in pais.
ley and flower prints and even
denim (to wear with levis?)
We predict that the end of
the matched apparel era will
come when women are faced
with the problem to end all
problems: everything in their
daily color schemes will match
and there will be nothing else
to add.
