New Proposals-
May Produce A Student Council
It looks as if All Student Council President Jim Schultz is trying to find a cure for the inadequacy of that organization.
He introduced a Council constitutional revision program that could shift the balance of power from Greek to Independent. The question is would the redistribution of power produce a better council or just the same inefficient organization under the disguise of one house?
We think it would make for a better council.
It would eliminate some petty party gymnastics that do little for any party and less for the student body.
Why? It would weaken the party in power, of course. But it would not give much strength to the Independents.
The Independents aren't centralized enough to create a strong machine. They have enough students now in that category but can't control student government.
By their very name they are not the wellknit, somewhat concrete group that Party of Greek Organizations can be when it means getting something for that party.
A step such as schultz suggested would put more emphasis on government for the student and less emphasis on government for factions.
Of course if neither system, the present one and the proposed one, can get enough representatives at a meeting to constitute a forum there is no need for a change. In fact, there is no need for an ASC. —Jerry Thomas
Our good friend Elrod chose to reflect on his many years at this noble institution over a cup of Hawks Nest coffee.
"Spluti!" quoth Elrod, upon sipping a sip of the delightful ambrosia.
"Splut?" we queried. "What sort of reflection is that on your many years at this noble institution, our good friend Erod?"
"I was rather overcome but for a moment," he countered.
"With Hawks Nest coffee. But
"With nostalgia?"
now to reflect. As I see it, this my last year is the high point of my many years at this noble institution. Despite the laughingly lax social rules, this year the Women Students, Associated, have managed to inveigle the Of Women.

Dean, to acceptance of a plan which would cause a blush on the cheek of the most worldly. I have in my paltry bank account $3.30 with which I plan to have a festive coeducational evening until 6 o'clock Saturday morning."
"But what is this ill-conceived plan, our g. f. Elrod?"
"Penny-a-Minute Night! For every minute past 12:30 Friday night that a coed wishes to remain out, she has but to contribute a penny to a scholarship fund. My $3.30 should last until 6 a.m."
"How droll," we surmised.
Instead of producing fewer and better movies it has continued to produce high on the quantity list and even lower than before on the quality list.

flying bus zones could be scraped off and perhaps ten more cars could be crowded onto the campus.
A tip for the financially defunct:
When the Chi Omega fountain is turned on, take all dirty laundry and a scrub board; the soap will be provided by someone.
A neat trick that worked: Reserving all the seats for the Rock Chalk Revue apparently helped ticket sales, despite the price increase. So what if you have to sit behind a post—the seat's reserved, isn't it?
How did they get nominated? Hollywood had nothing better to offer.

Why You Succeed Or Fail In College
Why do some students "succeed" scholastically in college while others fail? Lehigh University's Brown and White asked that question and got a variety of answers from readers.
Nigeria annually exports 100,000 tons of chocolate beans. This British colony on Africa's west coast accounts for about 15 per cent of world production.
Among factors contributing to success and failure: good high school training, conducive study atmosphere, "a good beginning," too much time spent on hobbies, "luck," lack of genuine interest and dull instructors.
25 Years Ago

An exceptionally dull evening was highlighted by exceptionally dul presentations because of exceptionally poor films.
Independent producer Otto Preminger has produced three films. He has directed all of them and all of them have been profitable both to Mr. Preminger and to audiences.
Movies, in spite of advertisements saying that they are, are not better than ever. Take the case of the academy awards.

American contributions, for which the Oscar was created, deserve to be forgotten as soon as possible.
HOPEWELL, N. J. — (UP) Robbed of his baby, then cheated of his ransom money for its return, Col. Charles A. Lindbergh set to work doggedly today to find new trails leading to the child's return. There was the most noignant dispointment on the Sourland estate for early hope for the return of the child when it was found that the kidnapers had double-crossed the colonel with a promise to restore the baby son, but down the dark roadways of dispair there gleamed some light.

The arguments in the fraternity tax case will probably not be heard for another 30 days, according to Marshall Gorrill of the firm of Asher and Gorrill, attorneys for Douglas County in its efforts to place the property of Greek letter organizations on the county tax rolls.

Movies-
There is a bright note for movie fans. Producers will have to start making better movies or find other work. Movies will eventually get better than ever but only through the survival of the fittest.
LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS
"Written In The Wind" is a good example of how movies are better than ever. Five years ago radio started cutting down on "soap operas". The movie industry must have picked up the option on this one It fits perfectly under the "soap opera" category.
