Everybody Happy?
Student Council members have voted to meet
only once a month.
There was a day when the regularly sched
uled bi-nnyitlily meetings were inadequate,
when speeial sessions were called to handle im
mediate business, when students crowded the
council room to hear hour-long filibusters from
campus politicians.
There was a day when the council inves
tigated student housing conditions, when the
constitutions committee debated long on ap
proving new student organizations, when fac
ulty members worked with the council on a
forum program.
There was a day when the council's re
sponsibility was the investigation of campus
life, the. remedy of unsatisfactory situations,
the settling of student difficulties.
And now? Now the population of the uni
versity is so contented that.it has no problems
to bring to the council's attention. The faculty
is happy, the students are happy, the adminis
tration is happy. The council has nothing to do.
Is it possible that the university has be
come perfect that it has no need for a student
governing body? Certainty there must be a sit
uation, a problem, a condition for considera
tion before the council.
If not, then obviously, everyone is happy.
It's an ideal sanation, and ideal situations fre
quently do not exist.

Ensign JACK M. STONE, A TO three years back,
Is in transit to POE from Norfolk, Va. Upon com
pletion of his naval wing training, he was gradu
ated in September at Corpus Christi, Texas.
LT. NEAL BYRON PARSONS, USNR, haa re
turned to New Orleans Naval Armed Guard Center
after spending the past five months at sea in com
mand of the Navy gun crew on an American mer
chant vessel. While hei-e, Lt. Parsons was active
in athletics.
WALLIS "WALLY" W1MBERLY, graduate of
Pharmacy Hall last year, returned this week for a
short visit from Naval Officer's Training. This
life-like narrative gives a contrast to his excite
ment in the last few months and the everyday col
lege life before.
"I was Boat Officer, having as my duty the
managing of the transfer and landing of Marines
from out Destroyer to the Hostile Shore.
"Our previously quiet operations were ended
when a Jap torpedo plane closed in and dropped ft
fish beamed right on us. Our defenses brought down
the raider, but the ship was struck and instantly
covered with flame from mast to water-line.
"We were of course ordered to abandon ship, so
leaving my shoes and stockings neatly arranged
side by side at the deck-edge, I dropped over the
side into the sea.
"After several hours of not being sure whether
you'd be run under or saved, we were taken aboard,
and I found I was lucky enough to get away with
only lacerated feet as a result of the rough bottom
of the pick-up craft."
"Wally" looked sufficiently refreshed from serv
ice to cause one of his friends to ask him when he
was going on duty "now that you've finished train
ing!" Second LT. PAUL R. M.DOW ELL is now a stu
dent in the four-engine pilot school at Roswell
Army Air Field. He received his pilot wings re
cently at Ft. Sumner, N. M.

are elements to be considered
when recommending such ad
vanced standing credit.
In the specialized training pro
gram credit will he granted upon
the arPrval of the committee on
advanced standing. All such
credit will be applicable to the
student's chosen curriculum if it
does not represent duplication of
work already completed as a
civilian student. The certification
of all such credit to the university
must be made in the same manner
by the institution where the course
was taken as in civilian credit.
Tests to Be Given.
Credit for courses completed
thru the agency of the United
States Armed Forces institute will
be granted upon receipt of official
certification by the institute and
upon the approval of the commit
tee on advanced standing. If the
members of the service fail to take
the appropriate tests provided by
the Armed Forces institute, the
university will make provision for
administering identical tests of
the institute or similar and com
parable tests.
Credit will be given for other
educational achievements in spe
cialized and technical training
programs offered by the armed
services. This will be on the basis
of advanced standing examina
tions and administered in the same
manner and under the same pro
visions as now exist in the university.

If life is boring you, remember

For instance, a bosom friend of a
