'The Students Want To Know9
What has happened to the Student Council's investiga
tion of the student health service? 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.

Said The Better

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."
