Perhaps 11 IS beins too lenient to say that many of our club meetings are farces. A farce is a particular type of dramatic art and there is ccrPiinly not any .art to iie found in many of our meetings. The logical solution for I he situation is. of cour.se, a practical appli cation of parliamcnl.ary procedure. This would not only clear up’ the overall confusion In^ most of the gatherings Init \v-ouId preiiare ns for the .situations we wall face in organizations after v.e graduate. The presidents of the different clubs tools a brief course in narllamen- tary procedure la.A spring; so they should have a vague idea of how to manage a meeting. If they 'vuiild consult one of the simrilified texts on parlim-iieiitarv rules in the library, they would find handling meetings a lot easier. (We sug.gcst Learning Parliamentary Procedure hy A. F Sturgis.) Also, if each rhih would elect a parliamentarian, someone who is familiar with parliamentary pmcedui-e, all C|ncstions of order could be icforcd to fici', thus snnplifymf.^ proccclinp',*^'-. Of course the main objection to adopting tlie correct procedure is that not enough of the students arc familiar enou.gh \yith the rules to ' carry on a successful meeting in this manner, lfow’evcr“ if th.e president ■■MTC of the rules, and if she would refer all questions of ))ro- cednre to the parliamentarian and then abide hy her decision, mass con- fusion would not result. It must be admitted though, that the students must be educated along this line. The president should take time at .some meeting to explain the methods or have a qualified person on campus speak briefly on them. All meetings shoult! be conducted in the following order; 1. Call to order 2. Reading of disposition of minutes of the previous meeting 3. Reports of boards and standing committees 4. Reports of special committees 5. Unfinisiied business ‘ 6. New, business 7. Announcements There was an almost grown up girl who Rived in an old family home. The girl’s name wa.s Ivy League. Naturally, she was the iviest leagued, bnia bula, top drawer dresser in the wliole Avide world. In fact, she wasn’t sharp enough, either, . . . hear? One day Ivy and her family realized college. 'I'herefore she and her Mother Avent down to Jlonedoesall, the A-ery best store in toAvn to buy clothes to Avear to the very best college in state—Melas. First, Ivy bought all shades of cashmere sAv eaters and monogrammed them Avith Roman numerals, Arabic numerals, hieroglyphics, and old Etiglish printing. Next, to go with her SAveaters, she bought some tweed skirts—her ringbone, salmon, and trout. They Avere Eng lish Avalker.s, Scotch strollers, and a fcAv American plodders. Also, all the .skirts Avere "eld toget-her Avith a Avretclieclly leaguish rear view biitkie. Aly,' Ivy Avas a good shopper, liowever, she became tired in the middle of her sJ-jopping and had. to rush home in her ,.m-sh'ipped Thonderbird and rest. file next da,'/. Ivy’s Mother hurt her cock- aii ,:u-uul b,v, signing too many checks that being a lieriditary disease, so Motlier League took Ivy shopping. This time they Avent to the men’s store- which exclusively carried Hart, -S'. haffner, and Marx crewneck sweaters im- ii(eted. stra.igut from Shetland, Africa. Ivy ooiiglit one i:i di'ab green, drab broAvn, and a Eon-eommital one in charcoal tobacco. Hoav- e\e ,v, Ivy, bciiig a giil, she felt these SAveaters needed a feminine touch so she tripped trim- rmngly over to the jewelry store and bought two scarab pins, AA'atchband, earrings, and a sniail conservative pair of scarab buckles to AA'ear on her ueAv Capezios. h inall.v after purchasing a couple of polo coats, Ivy Avent home and lived happily ever aftei . . . really, she w-asn’t liapp-\' enough! Moral: Freshmen still Avear saddle shoes, high school monogrammed SAveaters and rolled down socks! 8, Adjournment ^ When a group wants to take action the proposal must be made in the iorm of a motion. (Example: “Madame Chairman, I move that we have tlie jikiy on Thnr.sdav' ni.ght.”) All motions of this type require a second. After a motion is made and seconded, the floor is open to discussion which should be limited to the subject of the motion. Only one person should speak at a time and all speakers should be recognized bv the presidiiiff officer. During the course of the discussion, a member may .say, ‘T call for the question.” This means that the person wishes the discussion to be ended and for the group to vote on the motion. When someone calls tor the question, all debate is ended and the group votes on whether or not It IS ready to halt discussion and vote on the motion. In this case, the presiding officer says, “All those in favor of the question (asks for a sign from the group). All of those opposed (asks for a sign from t le Rroiip).’ If two-thirds of the voters are in favor of the question, then all discussion is ended and a vote will be taken on the original motion (They will then vote on whether or not to have the play on Ihursday night.) Once a motion is made and seconded it has priority; a new motion may not be made until a vote is taken on the original one. (Example ■ after it has been moved and seconded that they have the play Thursday night, no one may move that the .group adopt a service project until it IS decided whether or not they will have the play Thursday night) However, occasions may arise when a member wishes to change the nature of a motion. This is done by amending the original motion. An admendment may either add to the original motion or may cancel part ot It. (Exarnple: The motion to have the play Thursday night may be lilt’s vase was white as snow amended as follows: “Madam Chairman, I wish to amend to motion to A i state that we have the play Thursday night at 8:00.”) An amendment The^ .my no. l,e ,„,id, k i„ opp„,i,i„„ „ .1,. origimr„"r„ I “> In voting, the amendment is voted on first, then the original motion the amendment fails, the group still decides the fate of the first idea If an amendment that passes includes the fundamental idea of the motion then It IS not necessary to vote on the motion. tre^aZl^’'"rr'T- '‘i be begun sloAvly and eated with patience; but, it certainly must be begun. -M.

Some experts feel that Zhukov will be pro moted to the post of Premier; others are sure that he Avill 110 longer occupy a high position in the Soviet hierarchy. Speculation is to a degree useless. We can only wait for further news of Zhukov’s fate and prepare for th' possible consequences. A meeting in Washington on Wednesday Thursday, and Friday of last week between President EisenhoAver, Secretary of State Dul les, Britain’s Prime Minister MacMillan and Foreign Secretary Lloyd gave evidence of efforts to re-group and strengthen the free Avorld alliance. Declarations were made that the free world Avould work together in the fields of atomic energy and military defense and in this man ner face the Soviet menace. Tension remains in the area of the Middle East as the Russians charged that Turkey conspiring Aidth the United States was plan ning an attack on Syria. Turkey denied these charges but tne matter w'as taken to tne Liiitcd Nations for debate. King Sand of Saudi Arabia has offered to mediate tli(> differences betAveen the two na tions so that peace could reign in the Middle East, iurkey has accepted Sand’s offer; thus fai- Syria has hedged. Tile French government remains to date ■.v'ltiioiit a Rreimer. The split in the National Assembly betAveen Communists, Socialists, and right Avmg Independents has caused agreement on any issue to be A-irtually impossible. Freiieii President Coty continues his search lOi- a r lemier and. has asked (fny- Mollet, a lormer Premier, to try again. The main issue in France today is the Al gerian question and as it now appears even if the_ French government could be unAed, the Algerian rebels aa^IU refuse to compromise.
