So it is with other things. Assuming, that is, that Wes leyan students are mature enough to make reasonable, prudent decisions. A Bit Of Humor. If a fire breaks out in Wesleyan College’s woman’s dormitory, the young lady who first discovers it may have permission to pour a pail of water on the fire, even if it IS during study hours. If it is not then extinguished, she may go at once to Mrs. Mac- Karland, who will give her per mission to go to the house presi dent, who will send her to the lobby of the dorm to ring the little silver bell. The young ladies will then assemble in the lobby and the house mother will rise and say "Good morning” or “Good after noon,” as the case may be. "We have ascertained that a fire has broken out in our build ing, and it wiU be necessary for you to do some benevolent work. All who are willing to assist will arise.” Their names will then be taken in alphabetical order. Then lMts. Mac- Farland will say, “You may all arise. Those who have leaky pails may remain standing, while the rest may be seated.” Their names will be taken, and then they may go to their rooms, take their pails, carry them to the laundry room and exchange them for whole ones. The bell will theti ring again and all will meet in the lounge. Each group, with its stu dent counselor at its head, will then march to the Student Union, fill their pails and return. If it becomes evident that the building will burn down, the 'bell will ring again, and the young ladies will meet behind the pines. They will then be told to go to their rooms at the end of tne exer cise, put their rooms in order, being especially careful to dust the upper shelf in the closet and the top of the mirror. Each will then pack her trunk very neatly, remembering we put dresses on the top. Money must not be put in the trunks. Each will lock her trunk and place it in the hall. No one need call on Lillie Mae for assistance, as she will be other wise engaged, but when she has time she will take them downstairs. —Max Shulman The Staff EXECUTIVE EDITOR ASSISTANT EDITOR NEWS EDITOR SPORTS EDITOR SOCIETY EDITOR PUBLICITY CIRCULATION TYPISTS Wanda Exum Mary C.

The trick is to avoid the luxuries . . . such as room, board, books . . . The Dean’s List liafh educational system needs some mode of recognition for those students who show outstanding merit. The most common mode in American colleges is the Dean’s List. ■ The Dean’s List is a dream for many, a reality for only a few. Each semester thousands of college and university students across the country promise themselves a place on that ladder of educational dis tinction. These promises are of the same type as New Year’s reso lutions, however, made with good intentions but never followed through. Five of the eighty-six students who attended Wesleyan last year kept their promises. Betty Ander son, Susan Black, Gayle Felton, Gary Garlow, and Marshall Prid gen maintained a 3.2 or better aver age giving them the honor of being on the Dean’s List for the academic year of 1%0-1961. When asked what being on the Dean’s List meant to them the five “top students” replied: Betty Anderson: “It doesn’t mean as much to me as it does to my parents. But you know—^that’s why Brenda Rose is rooming with me this year—she wants some of it to rub off on her!!” Susan Black: “Well . . . Well, it siorta’ puts a stamp of approval on the work you’ve done. But, you know. I’d never really thought about it before.” Gayle Felton: “It gives me a sense of accomplishment. Being on the dean’s list is an indication that you have done the best you can to get real value from college courses.” Gary Garlow: “It got my school ing paid for! It’s something I want ed—not necessarily the Dean’s List, but a high average to maintain my scholarship.” Marshall Pridgen: “It makes me try harder this year to keep up the standards I make last year.” Regardless of the answer of the students, each one knows that be ing on the Dean’s List gives him a certain feeling of self-satisfac tion. He is able to say to himself, “Maybe I do have a few brains, after all. After that English test, I wasn’t really sure, though.” It also gives the student some thing to show for all his efforts and a goal to meet for the next semester and year. This year 195 stuents attend day classes at Wesleyan. How many will make the Dean’s List for this academic year? Day Students^ Council Set Tuesday, the day students elect ed their council by secret baUot. The council is composed of nine members, five of which must come from the sophomore class, and four from the freshman class. The pre sident must be a sophomore and the secretary-treasurer can be either. Representing the sophomore class are Jack Price, president, Jimmy Wheeler, Tommy Adkins, Brenda Robinson, and Larry Matthews. The freshmen are represented by Alice Kovarco, Bonita Pitzer, sec retary-treasurer, Barbara Hall, and Ed Vann.
