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 />

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 />
