Any Interest?<br />

Some seven thousand dollars can be considered<br />

quite a delicious sum and how that amount will be<br />

spent for the senior class gift could make many<br />

mouths water. But from the lack of attenda nce at<br />

the senior class mixer on Saturda y and the class<br />

meeting on Sunda y night , the spending of the<br />

funds seems to be the thou ght farthest from the<br />

senior 's minds.<br />

Give it away! Throw it away! Who cares ! It<br />

isn't as trifling a matter as apathetic thought would<br />

have it appear. This money has been accum ulated<br />

over semesters and now its expenditure in the<br />

form of a gift to the College is to be decided.<br />

People always have , and should have , ideas for<br />

improvements and necessities, but apparantl y the<br />

majority leaves the decision to only a few interested<br />

persons. It is usually these few who are interested<br />

in everything.<br />

It is your class and your money, seniors. You<br />

must have ideas so why not take part in the senior<br />

class proceedings and express those ideas publicly.<br />

Certainly, if it were ruled that only a few were<br />

allowed to have a say in the spending of the funds ,<br />

there would be a tremendous uproar about undemocratic<br />

procedures and pressure groups.<br />

You're being invited and requested to have a<br />

say .... your suggestion may be the one. At any<br />

rate , take an active part .... not just hopping<br />

on the bandwagon. This rates more than following<br />

and paying lip service. A sincere voice and thought<br />

is what is requested.<br />

—Arnold Gerton<br />

Don Quixotes<br />

Some person or persons are evidently out to wm<br />

the "meanest-man-of-the-month" award for their<br />

petty and childish uprooting and destruction of<br />

the grass committee 's "wear-out-the-concrete "<br />

signs.<br />

Their apparent disregard for publi c property<br />

and disdain for authority are evidence of dangerous<br />

tendencies completely out of harmony with the<br />

spirit of civic welfar e which should be developed<br />

in university student s.<br />

True the signs are ugly eyesores. Cer tainly they<br />

are less than 100% effective. Grante d that they<br />

may have been installed prematurely . (That is a<br />

debatable point.)<br />

Yet the muddy gashes across our campus are<br />

even uglier and more disgraceful. The signs, or<br />

some other means of persuasio n or prevention , are<br />

necessitated by the "thoughtlessness " of thousands<br />

of madly-scurrying students , hell-bent for education.<br />

A problem exists. Practically everyone realizes<br />

the desirability of unblemished lawn s. But when<br />

only a few minds attack a problem , the best solution<br />

may not always be found ; perhaps this is an<br />

example.<br />

To the Don Quixotes valiantly thru sting at signs,<br />

a humble suggestion. If you would expend as<br />

much energy atta cking the problem instead of an<br />

attempted solution , you might hasten the day<br />

when the signs would disappear , from lack of need.<br />
