EDITORIAL OPINION
Are Greek Cries 1
Of 'Wolf in Vain?
For the past several months some of the members I
on the Interfraternity Council have been yelling "wolf"
about the possibility of the Independents rising to posi-
tions of power on this campus.
All during this time other Greeks have said, "We'll I
never have to worry about the Independent students tak-
ing some of the activity positions away from us."
Which attitude Is correct? We don't know the answer,
but we can make a few predictions after watching some I
of the movement on the campus during the past year. I
For instance, an independent girl was elected home-
coming Queen. It was the first time that a foreign stu- f
dent had ever held this honor. This, does not, by any
measure, mean that she was not worthy of the honor.
Many male Greeks on campus showed moments of
anxiety last fall d u r i n g the Prince Kosmit elections.
Their anxiety was Justified, for the first time in many
years, a very handsome, capable and sincere Indepen- i
dent student was giving the Greeks a run for their money.
I
Thursday the men of Selleck Quadrangle reported I
record vote for their RAM Council elections. This is a
good indication that there is a group organizer in the
Quad.
It appears that the IFC members who have been
yelling 'wolf" may have finally made their point.
Perhaps the first real show of Independent organi-
zation is yet to come. In less than two weeks, the elec-
tions for Student Council will be held. All indications I
show that this will be a very interesting campaign and
election. i
Whether an independent beats a Greek or the dorm 3
wins more seats than the IFC are not the most important 5
parts of this election.
We feel that the primary goal of any student,
whether he be Independent or Greek, is to the Univer
sity. It is with this loyalty that a student enter a Council
election. Any group that attempts to muzzle and control
its council members will only lose in the long run.

Overset's Questions
Receive Answers
To the editor,
Ret Norm Beatty,
I have read your editorial
overset" and have been de
bating with myself whether
or not I should attempt to
answer your questions. I
; (resume, they are more or
ess rhetorical anyway,
since you seem to know the
answers very well.
I can assure you that
whatever the Latvian lady
fold the Young Democrats
was absolutely true,, al
though I did not hear her
myself. And her story is
only a very small segment
of the happenings.
Now, legally speaking,
the Baltic States are "inde
pendent" republics of the
Soviet Union, ruled by a
Latvian Soviet puppet gov
ernment. Mr. Vaivod's pres
ence in the U.S. alone ac
counts for his good standing
with the Communist party;
naturally, he had te feel
abused by the question of
the Iowa girl.
He apparently is not too
anxious to join the remains
of the 40,000 Latvians in Si
beria! Can you blame him
for that? Anyone expecting
a straight and honest an
swer to questions asked of
touring, Soviets is Just
'barking' up the wrong
tree."
Besides K very well could
fee Mr. Vi honest opinion
too. After all, his most in
formative years' were filled
with indoctrination. You
cannot blame him too
much; he wants to live. It
is easy to be heroic if you
are safe things change if
your life and that of your
family ii in constant dan
ger. So, don't expect too
much of our "guests."

Student's Actions
Criticized
To the editor:
On behalf of the Spring
Day committee I would
like to register t complaint
on the actions of the stu
dent of the University,
The students of this fair
University seem te be going
little bit too far In trying
to find out what the mys
tery event! of Spring Day
are to be.
It wasn't too bad, at first,
to be constantly harrassed
by questions and bribes.
But, whoever kidnapped

This makes me ak a
question which has been
called to my atte.u'on sev
eral times. The University
is an educational ' istitution
which, is supposed to help
mold us to take our Vaces
in the cold cruel -vorld.
- I would like to !now why
there is a lack of interest
in world affairs. How many
instructors have tried to
spark even the smallest bit
of controversy or tried to
make the students aware
that the world does not re
volve around the Univer
sity. There seems to be a cloud
hanging over our school .
I think people are 1 n t e r
ested in world affairs, but
it has to be pointed out to
some of them that things
such as Major Gagarin's
space flight affect them just
as much, and are more im
portant, than whether or not
butter is served you know,
where.
To get off this kick I
would like to share with
everyone what I learned at
school today. ;
Today in class (guess'
which one) we learned that
a noun can be used eight
different ways. I'm. not go
ing to list them so you will
have to look that up on
your own. ;
Then, we made sentences
using them in all t h e s e
ways. The best part came
when we recited the len
iences and everybody tried
to guess how they were
used. Nobody could guess
mine because I was smart
and used it as a verb.
I haven't had so much
fun in years. I'm even more
excited because next week
we are going to have a
spelling bee. Don't worry,
I'll let you know how It
comes out.
