Three Cheers For The Counselors
Hall counselors for the 1960-fil session are now being chosen by a
coiiiim tee including this year’s officers in collaboration with the present
counselors. itli this in mind, in addition to remembering the very cap
able job being done by our current counselors, it might be well to emote
some passages taken from the Visitation Committee’s report on St
Alaiys as they saw it during their stay here last fall. The report de-
\ otes special space in praise of our hall counselors.
forty seniors fall the duty of rejiorting to the Dean if a
student IS late in returning from an off-campus appointment, is havino-
f adjustment (social or academic), is a misfit, or for other
uason has failed to conform to expectations. Being appointed a counse-

Once again Smedes sun porch is
seeing its annual glory. Everyone
is now using it for basking jinr-
lioses instead of for jumping off.
However, fences have lieen erected,
and a faculty member has been
seen in a jiatrol uniform to insure
against the chance of harm befall
ing the deficiency list fatalists who
ha\ e been seen looking longingly
over the wall at the comfortino'
pavement. °
Trudy .Johnson has reciuestcd
that the girls jilease use Blcimey-
er’s window instead of her door for
going to and from the porch. She
also reciuests that everyone stop
taking najis on her bed, smoking
'‘J'JJjgfivttes, and playing with her
Bleimeycr and Dawson are go
ing to set up locker service for
anyone wishing to store sun-bath-
mg parajihanalia at a rate of ten
cents jier week. They will serve
free refreshments at noon and have
beds and cigarettes on tlie house.
Ihe faculty have insisted that
no one sit on top of the wall in
their “unmentionables” when boys
are on the front camjius. Also, it
is reciuested that the girls who va
cationed in Berniiida and Florida
refrain from exjiosing themselves
in front of the others, as it is de-
gi tiding to those who are eagerly
seeking to rid themselves of their
ghostly pallor.
binmiier is fast ajijiroaching and
panic-stricken students have be
come painfully aware of the need
for a healthy looking glow; how
ever, haying recently donned their
_ swim suits and looked in the mir
ror, they have become more acute-
ly aware of the need to shed those
e.xcess (juivering mounds of dimp
led flesh” acquired during the win
ter nionths.
■\Ve will exjiect to see Lucy :Mil-
ward and Messer, jiresidents of the
Lily Club, sjiending all their sjiare
time on the sun jiorch.
