When is action to be taken on the recommendations and suggestions included in the council's comprehensive report, submitted to Chan cellor Boucher nearly two months ago? Has the whole in vestigation been forgotten ? These questions are being asked by many students, es pecially those who find it necessary to make use of student health facilities, which the council's report branded "in adequate, inefficient." Students want to know, and have every right to know, why some action has not been taken on the council's suggestions, why the health service has not been improved in any way after a campus-wide question naire indicated that over 50 percent of the student body is not satisfied with the service as it now exists. The answer to these questions may be simply stated: The health investigation has become almost hopelessly en tangled in the snarl of red tape which all too often nullifies requests and petitions from the student body to the admin istration. Since submitting its report, the council has ap proached the administration time and again in the hope of getting some promise of definite action, concrete measures to improve the health service. But no action has been forth coming. The council's report apparently has become con veniently lost, perhaps somewhere in that in penetrable wilderness which seems to separate the administration from the student body on this campus. How much longer must the student body wait? When are they to be given all the facts concerning the student health situation? When are they to learn what steps, if any, will be taken to make the much-needed improvements in the student health service? What, in short, is to be the re sult of the health investigation? The students want to know. No Comment Necessary With the semester now two-thirds over, campus war stamp sales total $1,406.10, less than half of the semester's goal of $3,000. Sales, in other words, are far behind sched ule. These facts scarcely require comment. The duty of each student is obvious: to increase his purchases of war stamps, to do his part in making sure that the drive reaches its $3,000 goal by the end of the semester. Lei Said The Better fiy It Ghtfttky Having written about absolutely nothing all year, we see no reason to change policy at this point in the game. Anyway, there are (at 1:30 p. m. Saturday) seven mches to fill on the editorial page. While this may not be any better or as good as blank spaces, are not accepted by the editor even when they are marked "Use for scratch paper." Probably entirely too many people saw the news editor's little slip in Friday's rag the headline that said, "PKB, Sigma Xi Hear Dr. Curti." Just for our readers' edifi cation, PKB has nothing to do with TNE or anything else. PKB is Turkish for PBK, so maybe that's why the staff is calling Mary Alice Cawood "Turk" these days. Stolen from the Minnesota Daily "The Bench and Bar, staid organ of the Minne sota Bar association for some unknown rea son, has done some research regarding lip rouge and comes up with the startling statement that American women use enough lipstick each year to paint 40,000 barns a bright red color.' " Might we say that barns ain't all! Two truckmen were driving merrily along in an immense moving van. Suddenly, the road turned but the truck didn't, and it went into the ditch. The men got out and decided to ask the first passer-by for help in getting the van on the road again. They waited and waited, and finally a woman with a little poodle came along. "Madame," said one of the men, "may we please borrow your dog for a few min utes?" "What on earth for?" asked the wom an. "We'd like to have him help ws get our truck out of the ditch," said the driver. "Don't be silly," said the woman. "How could my tiny little doggy get your big truck out of the ditch?". "Don't worry, madame," was the reply. "We have whips." Theta Sics . . . (Continued from Page 1.) conference. She may even tell a new joke.
