Sadie Hawkins
Letters To The Editor
We're happy to see that Friday's dance,
featuring the catalinas, is what is known as
a Sadie Hawkins affair. This should produce
some interesting events during the week.
As we understand it, a SadieHawkins for
mat means that the boys can just lie (in more
ways than one) and wait for someone to call,
asking for a date. And the girls are the ones
who will have to worry about asking some
stud for a Friday night rendezvous.
Just picture a tremendous 250 - pound
intramural touch hide-and-seek player, a fifth
back for the Senior Slurpers (he's called a
fifth back instead of a quarterback because
if you give him a fifth, you'll never get it back
if you give him a fifth, you'll never get it back.)
Can't you see this guy sitting demurely by
a telephone, munching two cherry cordials
at the same time, stroking the hair on his
new wig and doing bust exercises while
he scans the latest underfashion news in
'Seventeen' magazine? Baby, he's killing time
waiting for his dreamboat to ring his number
and sweep him off his feet when she asks him
so sweetly to accompany her to a dance.
Man, he doesn't have care one except for
whether he'll wear the pink frilly something
or other or the black slinkly thingamajig.
Now try to visualize some little fragile 90-
pound darling of a honey-chile dragging around
in a pool hall in her W.E.B.DuBois summer
camp T-shirt and her Spur gas station uniform
britches, puffing on a good three-for-a-penny
cigar, guzzling RC mixed with prune juice and
watermelon rinds (the strongest She can hold on
a school day), cussing 'cause the TV went on
the blink during the Mamie Van Doren
Aqua Velva commercial,sweating and saying
'My God, I gotta get a date for Friday night.'
Can't you see her pulling a list of names and
phone numbers and getting with the rest of the
Chicks to ask them what kind of good lovin'
this certain cat can put down?
Watch her slide into a phone booth and tell
everybody else there to keep the dod-flammin
noise down while she makes her call. She
can't have all that slicka-flickin racket going
on if she's going to make him believe she's
calling from the library where she’s been work
ing on a term paper for 40 days and 40 nights.
The dingaling rings over at the Slurper’s
house and he answers by exclaiming, 'Oh,
its Chickie-Baby, What a surprise! (Some
surprise; he’s been getting her to squirt
the water fountain for him for the last six
weeks.)
Anyway, they talk the trash a while and
when Chickie thinksi she's got him worked
up enough that he’d hock his hipster pants
with the two-foot wide belt for her, she asks
him for a date.
This guy suddenly has a change of heart
and tells her prissily, 'I’d love to but I
simply must wash my hair that night,. Sorry.’
Just as we said, its going to be interesting
this week.

Student Court Says Honor
Code Not All-Inclusive
Mr. Editor:
The Student Court met in closed
session to hear a case referred
to it upon an alleged violation of
the Honor Code, on Tuesday, Nov
ember 8. Since the accused did
not request a public trial, it is
the policy of tiiis Court to permit
no taowledge of the proceedings
to become public so as to best
protect the interests of all parties
concerned. However, in view of
the widespread caicem which has
accompanied this particular event,
we feel it necessary to enlighted
the student body as to some of the
findings of the Court in this case.
In view of the circumstances in
which this alleged offense occured,
and in view of a motion submitted
by the Defense Agency Director,
it was brought to the attenticm of
all parties concerned that, aspre-
sently written, the Honor Code
is capable of being interpreted in
such a broad fashion as to cover
practically the entire gamut of hu
man behavior in its milder forms.
It was not the intention of the
formulators of the Honor Code to
be so all-inclusive, nor is it the
intention of the present Student
Court to be so.
A quote from the findings of
the Court may best serve to ill
ustrate this:
“We, the undersigned Justices of
the Student Court, in session
assembled, do, upon proper CMi-
sideration thereof, deem that the
current Honor Code, as so stated,
is too broad to facilitate inter
pretation by this Court. In view
Mr. Lopez
Inspires
Students
BY PATRICK MCNEELY
This newspaper is put out, gen
erally to provide information and
enjoyment for the students of this
campus but this is not my pur
pose this week. If you’re looking
for a few belly-lau^s or a “Joe
Pyne” style cutting session then
read no farther. Today I wish to
talk about a great teacher, phil
osopher, and humanitarian
Mr. Victor Lopez.
Mr. Lopez, as most of you
know, teaches Spanish here, but
he is more than just emother tea
cher to me and to many other
students. He serves as an inspir
ation to his students and takes a
sincere interest in their problems
and their educaticxial advancement.
This is a rare quality in this push
button age erf student numbers and
IBM cards.
Mr. Lopez is furious when test
grades are low, but you couldn’t
find a happier man on earth when
the scores are high (with many
instructors the opposite is true).
He came to America from Spain
in 1935 and worked his way through
college. His hard early life and
the Spanish influence is visible in
his teaching style.
You see, Mr. Lopez doesn’t
understand our come - what -
may, optimistic attitude toward
learning and life. He doesn’t
understand how a people who have
so much can care so little. The
sad fact is that many students
have not understood Mr. Victor
Lopez and therefore missed not
only an education, but a revela
tion.
of the fallacies erf human con
duct, wherein we giant that aU
persons at one time or another
are prone to misrepresent infor
mation to one another, we feel
that there are many such inst
ances which occur on a daily
basis which are so petty in sig
nificance as to be beneath the
dignity of this Court to become a
party to by having to sit in jud
gment thereon.’’
In deeping with this decision,
and with a firm resolution to pro
tect the Student Body from both
lawlessness and petty harassment,
the Student Court, in conjunctiai
with the Attoumey-General and the
Student Defense Director, are cur
rently in the process of prepar
ing recommended legislative ch
anges which shaU further define
and delineate the intent of the
Hwior Code. In this manner, both
the Student Court and the stadent
Notice
body wiU benefit, since both will
oe more aware of what behavior
ioes or does not constitute a vio
lation of the Haior Code. In better
knowledge of the rules under which
the Student Body has chosen to
live, each student will be afford
ed a greater measure of freedom
in his personal conduct vrith other
students, yet stiU be restrained
jo the extent necessary to pro
tect the rights and priviledges of
his fellow students.
Since such a matter vitally
affects the weU-being of each stu
dent at the University, the views
and recommendations of aU are
solicited. Students who wish to
have their feelings knovra on the
matter are requested to convey
them to any member of the Stu
dent Court, the Attoumey-General,
or the Defense Agency Director.

don’t understand BiU. When he corrects me, its constructive
criticism; but when I correct him, it’s nagging.

Watch for us then.
It's Hard For Her To Tell One
Pet Fly From The Other
by corny stilwell
For weeks I have been working cm a secret project and this is the
big day to reveal it for all 'the world to see. I wiU introduce you to
Gertrude and Heathcliff. They’re my pet flies.
Each day they take turns waiting on me at the Union door. Gertie
usually is there first, since she Ukes to teU me all the gossip she’s
overheard. Heath stays in the game room and picks up bad habits.
I really had a hard time training these two. After I tied a blue
ribbon around Heath and a pink on around Gert, I had little difficulty
recognizing them in a crowd.
The first day I met Heath was on a Wednesday. He buzzed over to
the table and squatted on the edge of my coffee cup.
I noticed he was different right away. He seemed to wimt to talk...
so I listened. He was a little nervous I observed.
Heath was limping a little, I noticed, so I asked him why. He
replied that he’d found a resting spot in the game room when suddenly
aU hell broke loose. “Blam, blam, blam!”
“Get that ball in that basket!’’
“Tilt, tilt, tilt that thing!’’
So poor, scared Heath buzzed over to the pool table and perched
on the edge of a cue to see what everyone was looking at when Mr.
Washman took his shot. Heath was wounded in action and one of his
closest relatives found himself behind the eight ball. Kersplash!
Gert came over next and told me tliat Treppa and Red were going
to beat me down to the newspaper office and demand to be chosen beauty
of the maith. (Ha, ha! Red, I told you I’d say that.) Now I will give
a prize to anyone who can determine who Treppa and Red realty
are.
Gert reported she’d received an invitation to join the girls in
the conversatiemlists in the basement of the Union. She didn’t like
the seal on the invitation but she went anyway. AU the gang was there,
Treppa, Red, Fartha, Mousey Mini, and Odd Hag. I’m glad to hear
that they were discussing my article.
Poor Mousy Mini said, “You know, I been dying to try that idea
about going down... to the beach house.’’
Treppa said, “Oh yes, I’ve been dying to try it too. They say
it’s the best idea in the bunch.”
They were talking about who to ask to the Sadie Hawkins Dance.
Mousy Mini and Fartha said they had heard that there was a room
over in the Engineering BuUding where there were 40 or 50 hun
dred men. They planned to lock them in and promise to let them out
only if they’d escort them to the dance. Then Red said, “Nah, as
dumb as we are we’d never find the room again.”
Odd Hag said she’d take the direct approach, you know, just ask
somebody. But aU agreed it was an ineffective method. Treppa
said she knew good and weU men have to be tricked.
This was the first time Gert had ever heard of Sadie Hawkins Day,
but she caught on quickly. The next time I saw her she was chasing
Heath down the sidewalk with a fiyswatter.
Heath, who’s been hearing all the guys say they were hiding
in the Engineering Building, has raced over there to join them.
If Fartha and Mousey Mini are at the dance, I guess Gert and Heath
will show up too. That is, if Heath can find that room.
Credit for conversation in this article goes to Treppa, Red,
Fartha, Mousey Mini, and Odd Hag. The names were changed to
protect the guilty.
