Business Manager BITTY BEACH ... Advertising Manager While We're at It A far sighted faculty and administration resolved last spring that certain changes were desirable in the College curriculum. These changes, efective this semester, include a required ten hours of English and two hours of speech for all underclassmen, and the new Western Civilization program required for underclassmen, and optional for juniors and seniors. These changes are commendable, but we suggest that one other alteration could be made. The curriculum as it now stands gives the student of the humanities a great opportunity for acquiring a very broad background of literature, philosophy, political and social science, and history. If a student were to take nothing in division III of the College curriculum save the Western Civilization program and the Social Science Survey, he would have a fairly comprehensive knowledge of the three fields within that division. But a student in the College must complete a required 20 hours in each of the first three divisions of the College curriculum in order to be graduated, and the second division includes the mathematical, physical, and biological sciences. The College faculty did take a step in the right direction when it instituted the biology requirement for all entering freshman, but in this diviosn there is, to our knowledge, no program comparable to division III, which, as was just pointed out, provides a five-hour survey course in the social sciences, and the six hours of Western Civilization. It is therefore necessary that a student, in filling the distribution requirement in division II restrict himself to only a few fields of science, or else spread his program out needlessly and sometimes not too profitably, by enrolling in the non-technical two-hour courses open to juniors and seniors from which it is almost impossible to gain a comprehensive picture of the relationship of the various sciences. A possible solution might be to set up in both the physical and biological science departments a five-hour survey course, open to juniors and seniors, essentially nontechnical, yet thorough enough to acquaint the student with the nature and principles of the sciences treated in that course, the relationship of those sciences to the other sciences, and the philosophical relationships between those sciences treated and the humanities. Such a change would eliminate the need for using the two-hour courses as "group fillers," necessarily somewhat narrow in scope, and would, to Rock Chalk Talk Laundry has become quite a problem at the Alpha Chi house lately. In fact, the actives have been in a quandary about clothesline space. This problem was remedied Monday, however, when thoughtful pledges strung most of the actives' unmentionedables on a clothes line in front of the Union building. We were started Monday afternoon to see a carload of Sig Alph and Delta Gamma pledges come whizzing down the fourteenth street hill with a car full of DG. actives close behind them in hot pursuit. The actives, in a car driven by "Booh" McCleary, were about to overtake the pledges when the latter suddenly stopped their car, blocking the road. *** The parking problem holds no fears for Prof. E.C. Buehler of the Speech department. Monday morning Professor Buehler carefully parked his car where it could be seen from his classroom in Green Hall and proceeded to forget about it. ☆ ☆ ☆ Led by Joe Purves, SAE, the thundering herd swarmed over the actives car and began letting air out of the tires. After sitting paralyzed for a moment in a slowly sinking car, the actives finally made their escape. Midway through one of his speech classes, he gave an excited yell as he saw a policeman walking slowly in the direction of the machine with a fistful of parking tickets. He hurriedly tossed his keys to Red Boytine, one of his students, who sped outside and rescued the car one step ahead of the law.

Scorning the comfort of such modern conveniences as beds, they stoically slept on the hall floors Monday evening. Their choice was influenced somewhat by the fact that the pledges had carefully barricaded the dormitory door after returning from a walkout. *** Marnie Brown, Theta, relates how several of the girls went to the show the other evening and after a long wait, found a row of vacant seats. After stumbling through the darkened theatre and finally sitting down, they were startled when a meek voice came from behind one of the girls, "Would you take another seat, please?" It seems she was sitting on a small boy. Maybe it's the balmy fall air, or maybe they're putting too much carbonated water in cokes now, but we see that the corny joke season is back in full swing.

Oh well, there's nothing so flavorful as potato salad on the open palm, we always say. Sgt. Hits New High In Back Pay Fort Logan, Col. (UP)—S/Sgt. Ray Rutledge, Paris Texas, really hit the jackpot here recently when it comes to back pay. The sergeant received $2,460.33, the largest single payment ever given to a soldier at Fort Logan. Rutledge was captured when his B-17 was shot down and was in a German prison camp for 14 months until freed by the 1st Army. The pay was for the time he spent in the camp, including base pay, flying pay and overseas pay.
