PAGE TWO THE CLAEION JANUARY 18, 1963 The Love Of A Co-Ed Wits Of West By JOYCE WEST The love of a co-ed is filled with fear, It’s loving a boy who isn’t near. It’s waiting for mail — a word from him. It’s an empty mailbox — a day that’s dim. It’s looking at a picture, seeing his face, Wishing you could leave this desperate place. It’s marking the days off from a calendar above, Waiting for vacation when you’ll see your love. It’s reading his letter — your eyes fill with love, It’s making a wish on the first star above. It’s hearing a song that you once danced to, The words bring back memories — again you feel blue. It’s plans and ideas that haunt you at night, It’s losing his love that makes you feel fright. It’s wondering what he’s doing each minute of day, Always wishing you were in his arms to stay. It’s writing a letter sashing all is well. You hope that the truth he’ll be able to tell. You’re home at last getting ready for your date, Your hands start to tremble, you can hardly wait. It’s the look in his eyes when you open the door, Somehow you knew it was worth waiting for. Now it ends — this time spent with him, Your eyes start to water, tears come to the brim. The time has come and you must part, You’re back at school, but you’ve left your heart. mmm tmifcf m. The New School For Scandal GLAMOUR Sponsors "Dress" Contest GLAMOUR is conducting a contest for the ‘Ten Best-Dress- ed College Girls in America.” The contest is planned to show that being well-dressed and well- groomed is an important part of a young woman’s education. These attributes depend, not on money or an extensive wardrobe, but rather on the development of good taste and an intelligent in terest in one’s appearance. These ten outstanding young women will prove that good looks, good grooming and a good mind can all serve young women well in these highly competitive times. The young women picked for “top ten” honors will be photo graphed in the spring for the —Turn to Page Four - Sheridan’s “School for Scan dal” includes the most dramatic situation in the whole of Eng lish comedy. Joseph Siirface, hypocritical “man of sentiments” has his complacent world to tum ble on him at the same instant that Lady Teazle, comedy’s most dramatic actress of the age, is brought to her senses. With a little recasting of Sheridan’s characters to fit another setting — Brevard College — the scene would go like this: (Anonymous, the “man of sentiments” was in his office re covering from the latest scandal- mongering deed when that fam ous friend of his, Exam, tapped or the door.) Anonymous: Come in my dear, but haven’t I told you not to come to see me — that you and I must not be seen together. (But Exam tip-toed in and to gether Anonymous and Exam plotted to take Exam’s husband, Sir Unprepared Student by sur prise.) Anonymous: We’ll pre tend that everything is just like it was last year, and then when it’s too late — we’ll announce that there will be no Reading Day. (At that moment, trouble- rousing Sir Unprepared Student, Exam’s husband, souglit admit tance.) Anonymous: Quick, hide behind my screen. Exam, your husband comes. (Enters Sir Unpepared) Unprepared: Sir, my friends and I are afraid that something is amiss at this institution of higher learning. What it is, I can’t say, but I came straight to you. My wife has been plotting and scheming behind my back. I think I’ve found her mate in this evil deal. It’s that lazy good- hearted brother of yours. Fun, who has been snatching Exam’s favors.

Fun on his way here? But he can’t be! Unprepared, you must leave at once! It would never do for Fun to see you here. Unprepared: I beg of you good Anonymous, let me stay to catch a glimpse of my competi tor. Let me stay to learn if the rumors I’ve heard are true. Could you not -trap Fun into mak ing a statement.

Unprepared: Sir, I thought I saw a petticoat swish behind yon screen! Anonymous: Sh—, Tis no one but the little “F” Student who hides behind yon screen. (When Fun enters. Exam and Unpre pared are hidden in Anony- mous’s office — one behind the screen and the other in the clos et.) Fun: Bon jour, messieur. What’s up? Your secretary bar red my entrance, as if I were campused or something. Who has been with you? Party or Dance? Anonymous: Neither, my brother, I assure you. Fun, what are your feelings toward Exam? There have been rumors that the two of you are having an affair. Is there a justification in that scandal? Fun: Ho, ho, my friend. I have never given her the least encouragement. Besides, you know of my attachment to Play. Anonymous: I am glad to learn such delightful news. Unpre pared will be happy to know it. Fun: A man as old as he, should not be hampered by a maiden so challenging as Exam. It is against the college policy. But ah, brother, I see the skel eton in your closet. (Fun looks into the closet.) Ho, who is it? Sir Unprepared, why do you conceal yourself? What is the meaning of this? Unprepared: Sir, I merely wanted to reassure myself that there was no attachment be tween you and my vnfe. Exam. I am so relieved. (Anonymous leaves the office momentarily.) Unprepared to Fun: Ha, your brother fools us all. He h^ a little “F” Student behind yon screen. (Anonymous returns. Fun in a jesture of devilishment rushes to the screen.) Fun: Ah, little “F”, come from behind your screen and let us see you. But, oh! It’s not little “F” — it’s Exam! Unprepared: What! My wife in Anonymous’s office? I don’t believe it. What is the meaning of this? Anonymous: Sir, I can explain it like this: Exam being appre hensive of the unpreparedness of your nature in the forthcoming testing season was helping me — uh — uh — plan a way to — uh — to help you . . . but . . . ah Exam: Don’t listen to the “man of sentiments”, my hus band. I merely wanted you to have a Reading Day before ex ams, and I was speaking to Sir Anonymous on your behalf. But he says that there will be no Reading Day so it’s useless to squander time talking about it. Make the best of the situation, my dear Unprepared. 'Those who v/ill succeed, will succeed! Students Asked Not To "Appeal By DEAN BENNETT It has been a custom in the past to have students on Acad emic condition (probation) who did not meet minimum academic standards to write a letter of “ap peal ’ stating any extenuating circumstances which should be considered by the Academic Standards Committee, This sys tem hais not proved to be satis factory because most instances the letters of appeal did not pro vide the committee with any in formation which they did not already have. At this time, there fore, we are not asking students to wnte letters of appeal. (Qf course, if the student insists, he may write a letter.) The Academic Standards Oomr mittee will meet Saturday morn ing, January 26, to review care fully records of students failing to meet minimum requirements. Trite; In this complex world that we live in .. . (but very true nevertheless) terminology plays an important role in an individ- ual’s personality. To be under stood, you’ve got to speak in clear, concise, to-the-point langu age that everybo'dy — even the dumbest bum or the brainiest brat — can understand. “Breverd Tech” has developed its own terminology which in es sence, is the “heartbeat” of the campus to express its lighter per sonality. For example: “C” average not only denotes the specifications necessary to remain academical ly unembarassed, but disinguish- es the “haves” from the “have nots”. Without a “C” average you might as well consider your self grounded until better weath er comes. Another term — "bushes” — is definitely provincial. This is a popular term which refers to the “garden” in front of Jones Hall. “You ain’t wrong” is the ac cepted way to say “you’re entire ly right.” “Beat the rap” means an hon orary way of escaping demerits (which incidentally are the name tags applied to misdemeanors, felonies and unmentionables). “Week-end” implies one day without classes, one night . . . well, you get tfie idea. “Rain” is that term applied to heavy precipitation that kills the snow flurries. “Car” simply means something you see at a distance and hope to use again someday. ‘Tsychology” is another way to express “frustrations.” ‘T)ance” is the term applied to what you did in your home town. “Study” means the time you sit dovni at your desk, and think of something else that needs to be done, or w^hen friends drop in for a bull session. “Quiet Hours” refers to the time spent locked in your room wishing that you had never heard of “institutions of higher learning.” A lighter touch: The young man took his girlfriend’s hand and kneeled before her. The moment had come — darling, if you’ll write my Music “Appre” term paper, answer by biology study sheet, help me cram for Lit and straighten out those dam history dates — well, darling, I’ll marry you then.” and the faculty will meet Satur day afternoon to consider the recommendations of the commit tee. Students on academic pro bation who are uncertain about their standing may wait for a report and get it in person after the faculty meeting, which should be by 3:00 P.M. Those who wish to go home may learn the decision through a friend who remains on campus. No rigid rule applies regard ing eligibility to continue. In general a student who fails to pass nine hours of work with a total of six to nine quality points has reason for concern. Even so, a college reserves the right to exclude any student who is not taking proper advantage of college work.
