EDITORIAL COMMENT
For the Cause
ISA: Rest in Peace . . .
ISA seems to be gasping its last breath.
Perhaps it is just as well, for nobody but a few
Greeks seemed to be very concerned over its
fate. Only two people filed for the eight offices
in the organization.
Perhaps the big stink raised by the recent Stu
dent Council investigation of the matter fright
ened .away some who might have filed. The inves
tigation brought out the dissension within ISA and
the lack of interest among its members.
The investigation brought out the weaknesses
into the limelight for all to see. Most students
were undoubtedly afraid to file for a job which
would probably be thankless.
The Student Council has attempted to make the
independent students mad enough to do some
thing by suggesting that their representation on
the council be cut This has brought little re
action. .
Perhaps it is just as well to let ISA die
quiet death. The investigation has probably done
more harm than good. It might be that the de
mand for an organization similar to ISA will
arise in the future. At present, there seems to
be little demand. Its need is seriously questioned
by many Independents.
Any reorganization of the Independents will
have to come from the Independents themselves
and not from the Student Council The council
may certainly offer suggestions, but it cannot
force an organization upon students who appar
ently do not want it
ISA, let it rest in peace. t r.
That Added Lab Hour
When a student finally survives and ends
trials of registration each semester, he likes to
believe his schedule is complete, stationary and
static.
This ideal philosophy would include all extra
laboratories, all quiz sections, all recitation pe
riods, all observation periods, all hearing labora
tories and whatever other outside work the de
partment thinks will benefit the poor unsuspect
ing student who signed up for a three hour course
and finds it has changed to six hours of work.
Specifically we point to the department of
romance languages and generally to all depart
ments who spring additional labs or sessions
without forewarning. The highly valuable bene-'
fits received from spending one hour each week
listening to French or Spanish recordings and
then trying to babble it back, is greatly recog
nized by most students. However, the idea of an
added hour in the labs to attach the hearing
phones is not quite so welcome especially if
provided at the last minute. True, this applies
particularly to the language department, but there
are others at fault also.
When a student signs up for a course, he tra
ditionally also signs up for a particular period or
periods and then tries to arrange in his schedule
whatever other course, work or activity he wishes
to engage in during a college career. Also he ex
pects to do three hours work for a three credit
hour course. Of couse, the student is not so
credit conscious he will place that above what
ever knowledge he will receive from class. But
nevertheless, credits are important especially
after eight semesters. When an added lab hour
is suddenly required, there aren't too many stu
dents who will jump with joy. By the time they
are notified, many already have a complete
schedule of the semester arranged.
However, even though this added work was not
listed in the semester schedule, or no warning
given, the student still will have a certain per
centage deducted from his grade for failing to
attend all the extra session. Granted, the ear
phones, dictations etc, re important It's even
more important to be sure they are used to avoid
having them removed for lack of use. Still a stu
dent should be given a fair chance at the open
ing of the semester, even at registration, to sign
up for the added hour. This may involve an extra
sentence or two in the catalog. But it would raise
a grade or two at the semester's end for a student
who innocently filled his schedule after registra
tion without leaving an hour for whatever the
department may assign.
"Grades may not be every thing, but they
sure help." And attending these labs helps the 1
grade. Unless notification of added labs is given
along with the regular listing, of the course, stu
dents may well wait until the middle of the sem- i
ester to decide whether Tuesday afternoon is free
for work or the like. After all, you may find out
that day is supposed to be reserved for reading
the adventures of Topaze. j.k.

'Win Says Michigan Paper
i
By Connie Gordon

There hasn't been a basketball team who has
won a game in years. According to the Michigan
State News, basketball teams just dont win any
more. Instead, they annihilate, blast, conquer, de
molish, eradicate, finish, grind, hurdle, incapaci
tate, jump, kin, lambast, murder, nullify, oblitrata,
pulverize, quench, rap, shade, trample, undermine,
vanquish, wallop, exterminate, yoke or zip past
them.
So you see, you can't just win in the game of
basketball.
The Daily Lobo, student newspaper of the Uni
versity of New Mexico, reports that occupants of
the men's new dorm there were unable to receive
incoming messages from one of the telephones
there. After searching a bit, it was discovered that
some emotional lad had actually torn the receiver
from the box.
No-Sad-Songs-For-Me Dept. Stolen is the fol
lowing poem from the Cameron Collegian of the
Cameron State Agricultural College at Lawton,
Okla. Here goes:
The student gets the newspaper,
The school gets the fame.
The printer gets the money.
The editor gets the blame.
Ah, yes, but it's a great life if you don't weaken!
The "Out of the Night" column in the Lincoln
Star reports that the editors of the Iowa State
college humor magazine, the Green Gander, have
discovered that i'ts risky being risque.
Recognizing this fact, they have promised to
"clean-up" the magazine after protests that con
tents of the last two issues have not been up to
college level.
Pray tell, what Is ""college level?"
This is all the pilfered material for now. So, un
til next column time, I bid you adieu!
Female Retort
To the Editor:
Allow me brief meditation on
the "Great Lover" who is un
happy because all the girls on
the campus are knocking them
selves out in an effort to be his
lucky pin-mate.
First, let me astate that I am
not cynical. I certainly don't be
lieve that all men are cads only
about 99 percent
All poor Randolph asks is a
date every week or two and a
little "fun." He didn't explain
very satisfactorily what he con
siders a date or what constitutes
his "fun." I'll draw my con
clusions and if the shoe doesn't
fit Randolph, it will fit the rest
of the 99 per cent.
First off, this "lover" will wait
until 7:30 p. m on Saturday be
fore calling for a date, delighting
in the suspense and near panic
he is creating in all the houses.
Each girl on the campus is en
gaged in a game of bridge (he
says) waiting hopefully for his
call and wondering if she'll be the
lucky, priveleged one this ween.
Our Romeo calls and reluctantly
suggests a date (just to pamper
her, of course. After all what
female in her right mind would
prefer to waste time viewing a
movie when she could be out
necking with the "Great Lover').!
After the movie, our hero ex-!
plains that he has just had the
valves ground in the old Chevy
and it's riding mighty, mighty
smooth so why not drive around
bit and absorb a little fresh
air. If our privileged Cinderella
declines, depend upon old Romeo
to get that whipped dog look in
his eyes and come out with, "Why
you evil-minded girl How dare
you question my honor!"
If our girl consents to the ride
and finds stupidly believing that
the fellow has nothing in mind
but a ride and then decided that
she'd better go home when she
finally realizes that her fate is
the privelege of being slobbered
on for the next hour or so
trust Romeo to bristle and yell.
well, why did you let me drive
all the way aut here? You oughta
know what I had in mind." But
Cinderella co-operates with
Romeo then that lucky girl may
be called next month when "the
lover" decides to generously
squander another evening with
some deserving female.
Getting back to Romeo (if he's
not still with us) he's seeking
sympathy because one particular
girl whom he enjoyed dating ir
regularly is now pinned to an
other fellow. Of course, this indi
cates that she is fickle; however,
if she had dated only Randolph it
would have indicated that she
was out to hook him. So, the girl
would have displeased Randolph
in any event You "Men" like to
think that you are making the
choice. So, girls, line up so those
"Gods" can look you over.
They're shopping for a bi-monthly
date and ""fun," you know.
Their stock judging experience
should come in handy.
Each of you 99 per cent think
you're "God's gift to women."
You've climbed upon pedastals
so high that they're becoming
top heavy starting to topple. So
(as might be expected) on you
descent you're striking out at
"the girls."
Randolph, you're breaking my
nean!
Excuse this female's insolence
in recognizing your manly purge
with an answer other than on
my knees moaning "Allah, Allah.'
Breta Garbo (I want to be
alone.)

Proposed Ag Student Council
Considered Good for Spirit

Mr. Rivers has doubled for Roy Rogers in a

ping pong balls are due Tony Woolman for win

evening! Runner-up Kenneth Lux also received
six of these bouncing spheres for his efforts, too.
The general entertainment committee under the
chairmanship of Jean Holmes plans to hang a
plaque in the Ag Union with the winner's name
on it. This will be a standing trophy for the fu
ture players to work for, too!
Speaking of the Ag Union, the activities com
mittee over there is planning to take an All-Ag
poll to determine what the students want from
their Union in the futJre and some criticism
will be asked about the Union as it is now.
Have you bought your tickets to the Jr. Ak-Sar-Ben
barbeque (dance included) and show
yet? Remember, only one dollar for the eats on
the 16th of March and 65 cents per person (stu
dents) for the show the night of the 17th.

So get your ducats now from any Block and

Now, a word about the proposed Ag Council; a
subject which takes precedent over many other
things (even women) in bull sessions around the
campus. It seems to me that Dr. Rhoad present
ed the plan in a very feasable manner last week
and if this type of government could came to Ag
campus it would improve the situation some
what. Just think It over wouldn't it be great if one
central group out here could sponsor such tra
ditional things as Coil-Agri-Fun, Farmers' Fair
and others? Take Farmer's Fair for instance. If
this function could be sponsored by an All-Ag
group such as the proposed Council would be, it
would give every Ag "citizen" a chance to par-

A new act has been substituted for Jim and
Rita Murphy, who were originally going to do
trick Tiding for the show. The Murphy duo could
Hot participate due to a leg injury.
In their places the Block and Bridle club has
contacted Johnny Rivers from Omaha. Johnny

what I think we need on this campus is a
mighty spirit-builder that will make the Aggies
conscious of every event that takes place here.
The records and Alums tell that such a spirit once
existed here on Ag and this is a chance to build
that up again.
Why, in the past, when this spirit existed, there
was no lawn problem. The Ag students would
merely dunk any lawn-walker in a convenient
horse tank!
