STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER Frankie Yow Editorial . . . W'e, the new staff of the Campus Crier, wish to make this a truly representative organ of the people it serves, but this will be impossible without your cooperation. We invite every student to take an active part in the gathering of news and features for this paper. It is our duty to report what you are doing; but if you do not tell us, we will never know. The newspaper office has moved to room 10. Please submit your material—typewritten, double spaced—to the editor or the office. Alumni, this is your paper too, what do you think? The editor would like to say something on student government, how ever, some things can best be said by some people. For example— Chicago, 111. (I.P.)—Debunking the idea that it is dangerous for students to have a direct means of expressing their opinion, William N. Welsh, president of the National Student Association, called for a re-evaluation of the democracy of college student governments in a speech before the American College Personnel Association. He believes “a practical education in democratic self-government ... is in effect an insurance policy for a nation that prides itself on the capacity of its people to govern themselves.” Welsh pointed out that too often college administrations are afraid of the public criticism that arises if mistakes are made by student governing bodies. For this reason they tend to withhold complete delegation of authority. “We must inform the public that student government is a learning process,” he said. Politics for politics sake, too much emphasis on disciplinary powers were cited as additional pitfalls to properly functioning student self-government. The NSA leader feels that such factors too often interfere with the legitimate functions of student govern ment—those of “serving the people who make it up and representing them to the other groups with whom those people must work and live.” College Marriages Are Approved Denver, Colo.-(I. P.)-Students who marry while still in college have the approval of Dr. Eugene Link, professor of sociology and marriage counselor at the Univer sity of Denver. According to Dr. Link, professor of sociology and life to students very greatly out weigh the disadvantages if the following requisites are met: The couple should not be burdened un duly with economic responsibili ties. ‘If there is none—then par ents who can afford to should fin ance the college couple.” Both the boy and the girl should go to college. This prevents the man’s intellectual development from getting too far ahead of his wife’s. One of the great causes of divorce is too great an educational difference between mates, he de clared. “Any man who does not want his wife to have the same educational background as he does is not really mature yet.” Children should not be post poned until after schooling is fin ished. Dr. Link believes that coup les who wait too long before start ing their families have difficulty in adjusting to their children. “Nursery schools should be set up on college campuses in order to free the mother so that she can take a few courses at the university,” he said. SUMMER’S END The weeping willow by the fence Has shed it’s leaves, like tears into the stream; The caterpillar on it’s trunk has gone to rest Within his cocoon, snug and warm, to lie and dream. innniiniiiiiiinniiiniiiiiiiiiiiHiiiininnMiiiiHiiiiiiiniMiiiiMniiitiiiiiiiiiint ASKS COOPERATION There is just one favor I would like to ask of the student body while I am president: Please co operate with the student council and your officers in every way possible. The student government should be the most powerful organization in the school outside the faculty. It is made up not only of the representatives from the two classes, but also of every student in the school. The students must function as a unit, under the guidance of the leaders of their own choice. All of this, of course, will mean absolutely nothing without good cooperation frorn all. Student co operation means better school spirit, improvements in “living conditions” and a desire to better ourselves in every way possible. Johnny Tipton iHnnniiitMMiiiitniiitiiiiMtiiintnniMiiiintiMiiiiiitttnnnuitiiMiiiiiiiintiiiti The earth hugs tight her leafy treasures to her breast. The sky has changed from sum mer’s garments into gray, As if the fashion’s changed. The sun was doomed Before it’s birth. And yet, it seems only yesterday. The bullfrogs croaked, the marshes bloomed. The milkweed white beside the swaying rows of corn; That mushrooms, white and red rose up along the lane, And m.ockingbirds built nests among the blossoms of the thorn. A cat, upon the garden wall. Now vainly licking at his shin ing coat of brown, Seems ageless, tireless, fearless, full of grace. And doubtless, he already knows that summer’s gone The children off to school, the roaring fireplace. The cat-tails turned to down along the creek. He wishes secretly that spring would last always That mice still played along the rafters, large and sleek. His scheming mind remembers the excitement of those days. A solitary, south-bound goose, Against the sullen curtain of the sky. With ancient, sullen dignity. Gives forth a lonely, gnawing cry A warning to the things of nature of the days ahead, And the, as though he were al ready late, speeds on. Escaping from a world that sud denly is drab and dead. A worried mother hen behind the barn. With anxious, watchful eye. Gives up her most important in dustry. As tho’ suspicious of the murky pallor of the sky. She calls her half-clad, bony urchins to her side. Here and There by Frances McIntyre Howdy, all you guys and gals! It sho’ is good to be back again. I trust you all had a swell vacat ion ? ... I wonder if it is too late to say welcome to all you new stu dents I’ll say it anyway, ’cause we’re mighty proud to have you with us. (Mrs. Carter, pardon my grammar.) . . . That’s a snappy bunch of cheer-leaders. Ah DO decla-uh! And they keep improving, too—by the end of the football season we ought to be real hep ... You know, these old halls are kind of lonesome this year They seem to be haunt ed by the ghosts of the Class of ’48. I wouldn’t be a bit surprised to see Pat or Elaine, Paul or Nicky, or maybe Audrey and Jim, come walking into the Snack Shop or out of the library most anytime There is a host of others, too — Don, Bobby, June, Graham, Big Jim, and all the rest. Golly, how we do miss you, gang! As we CLIMB TO GREATER HEIGHTS, don’t forget to come back and see us often. — sob, sob!! IN THE SPOTLIGHT Newcomers to the faculty and staff, Sam McGuire, Miss Ann Brown, Hugh Transou, and Mel Wooten .... New arrivals, Al lan Dales Foster, son of Mr. and Mrs Dales Foster (Mrs. Foster was our registrar last year); Richard Ronnie Wells, son of our Mr. Wells; and Michael Monroe Woody, son of Coach Woody, who arrived June 28, too late to make the deadline for the final issue last SDring . . .

Pitts, Jack H. Robinson, and Bob Smathers, who all have O'ctober birthdays. P. S. Dear Ken: Can’t you PLEASE have the coffee made when I get here in the morning ? And shaking bits of dust from off her feathered breast, She starts her journey to the hen house, full of pride. The orchard on the hill is bare and gray. Among it’s naked, striken branches, ever reaching for the sky. The fugitives from summer’s breezes soon shall whisper tales Of pleasure pass’t — soft April skies, and laughing eyes. And sing the golden song of long-departed nightingales. They hint that snow is on the way, and cold, and rain Yet, underneath, they whisper promises that spring will come again. BY HARDING ELLIS
