THE STUDENT VOICE
in Hawiian Punch
Spastic
Have you ever had your mind going in one thousand
and one different ways at the same time? Well that s the
way my mind is running right now. Spastic. Era tic.
Mucked up. In a real mess. Therefore this weeks
editorial will follow the pattern (?) of my ^houg
waves. I would like to start out by thoroughly
reprimanding the party responsible for the suds in the
fountain this past week. I realize that you think you got
away with something spectacular, but boy do I have
news for you, you didn’t. Whether you realize it or not,
there was someone who found out who you are and that
someone is the editor of this very paper. And, I might
add, I am extremely ticked-off. There is no need for the
deliberate destruction of this slowly degenerating in
stitution that some 1,600 are compelled to call home.
And from the response around school, there are a lot
more that feel the same way I do.Therefore, I feel that it
is my responsibility to publicly warn you that the next
time the fountain receives an undeserving dose of
detergent, there will be action taken against you. Call
this a bluff if you wish, but I don’t think I would take that
chance if I were you. I know some very hard working
Science Club members that would give their eye teeth to
see you clean the fountain. I also know several
Fraternity and Sorority persons that would just love to
see you clean that fountain ... with your face. After all
they paid for it. Call this a bluff if you wish, but if you
value your crooked little nose, call it off.
Now a word about nudity. (I told you my mind was
errotic ... I mean era tic.) It is not exactly total nudity
that I am refering to, but instead the nudity that often
accompanies those much neglected appendages called
the feet. As most of you all know, this is one body that
stays at the constant stake of broke. Therefore I find it
necessary to spend my ever value-decreasing dollars on
the necessities of life, such as tums, tea leaves, and
toilet paper. Unfortunately, this leaves nothing for the
frivolious things of life such as new clothes, good food or
shoes. As sad as this may seem, I am happy in my want.
However, there are those that tell me that I should be
upset, because I can’t make a good impression without
shoes. But I ask you, who really is going to be annoyed
by my shoelessness? It has come to my attention that it
really doesn’t matter what a person looks like, what
they wear or don’t wear, but instead, it’s what’s inside
that counts. Some of the most fantastic people I know
never dress to impress anyone. If we all went around
associating with just those that impressed our optical
facilities, what a sad world this would be. However,
there was an extremely sweet lady that expressed a
deep concern for the well being of my feet, and because
of this, I am going to break down and go to the Salvation
Army this week and see what pair of goodies I can buy
with the money I was going to spend on a birthday
present for Mom.
To be continued throughout the year.

especially over here at
Hackney, but for me it is almost
like home. There are eight
people to a bathroom, the
bedrooms are small, it is noisy
most of the time, but 1 still like
it.
I will like it even better when
they get the air conditioner
working. It can really gel hot up
in the room. It takes more
electricity to run the fans that
are continuously running here
than it would be to run an air
conditioner.
.\nother thing about Hackney
is the ingenious plumbing
system they have here. The cold
water pipes are all attached to
the showers while the hot water
pipes are connected to the water
fountains.
•A question that has popped
into my mind a time or two is
what you should do in case of a
fire. You see, the fire ex
tinguisher is locked up on the
wall. It would look a little funny
(0 see a fire and run down to
Dean Monshower's room and
ask for the key to the fire ex
tinguisher while your room and
worldly possessions are burning
up. This could turn into an ad
vantage, however. You can tell
your professor your notes were
destroyed and you could not
study for the mid-lerm, or that
the research paper that you had
w orked on was totally destroyed.
The best thing is the friends
that you make here. After they
get to know you a little, they
start playing little games on you.
Or if they do not know you, they
will do little things to help break
the ice. like having a water fight.
As you can tell, these are real
clean, fun-loving guys.

The foreign students held their
first meeting Saturday, Sep
tember 9, at Wilson Park. The
picnic was held lo introduce Ihe
students to one another and to
some faculty teachers. Fourteen
foreign students attended the
picnic along with President
Doster; Dr. Anderson, foreign
student advisor; Mrs. Gatlis
from the History Department,
and Dr. Head. We all had a great
time, played some games, ale
dinner, and talked about our
countries.
Students will be surprised (I
was when I found out) to know
that Brazil is the fifth largest
country in the world, where
people are exceptionally
courteous and hospitable; where
blood and tradition are more
important than wealth. 1 sup
pose Francisco Ziegelmuller will
agree with me that the Carnival
in Rio de Janeiro is one of the
most spectacular sights, where
for four consecutive days
(Shrove Tuesday and three
preceding days) there is public
street-dancing, fancy dresses,
and singing. It is the only
country in South America where
Spanish is not the official
language.

Ancient Egyptian dynasties was
given to us by Ihe Roselta Slone,
found in the small town of
Rachid, Egypt. Kawa Aljaff also
says that Egyptians love to eat
onions for breakfast and, just
listen you boys, something to
remember about the Middle
East: It is the boy’s family that
buys the house and furnishes it
so Ihe groom can take it easy.
After all, what else can one
expect?
Although Willy Montenegro
has not spent too much time in
his country during the past 10
years, he said that Guatemala is
a small country both in land and
population with an ideal climate
of 74 degrees F. all year round,
where most laws are set in
pattern with England and the
United States. The early history
of Guatemala was dominated by
the Spanish “Conquistadores”
and before them, by the great
Maya Empire.
Corine deRuiter came to

Netherlands where gaily painted
houses and picturesque
costumes still survive. In the
United States, the terms

as the “Tulip Land.”

Pakistan is one of the largest
nations in the world, divided in
two by the Republic of India. It is
essentially an agricultural
country. Since Asad Niaz is a
sportsman, his first thought is
about sports. Sports are seen as
physical and mental exercises
where etiquette and sport

Ever since Ferdinand de
Lesseps started the construction
of the Panama Canal to connect
the Atlantic and Pacific oceans,
Panama has played an im
portant role in world traffic,
lowering the time it takes the
long voyage around South
America to as little as eight
hours. The home of Felicita
Castillo became known over
night as the “crossroads of the
world.”
And the time must come to
knock at everj'body’s door. It
was Willy Diamond’s turn to tell
us something about Scotland, a
constituent of the United
Kingdom of Great Britain. I
suppose his real weakness is
apple pie. I know the feeling
myself. Somehow, just like Willy
said, I always thought of
Scotland as being very green
and having the best scotch. And
scotch says it all. But, why does
it smell like wet woolen socks?
