Explosive Firecracker Ob the 20th of last month, only a short time after the firecracker incident in the dormitory, an anonymou! letter was received by your editor. Now it is not custo marily the policy of this newspaper to publish or ever, consider such correspondence; but due to the fact that it so aptly summed up the discipline situation at the present time, it is hereby sumbitted for your approval or criticism; To the Editor: “The Merit of Student Government????’ In this institution of higher learning, on Februarj 24, there was executed one of the most ingenious farces ii the history of student government. The main thing which precpitated this crisis was that the dormitory students were threatened with being campused indefinitely if there were any further disturbances caused by firecrackers. Now it is reasonable and desirable that students should refraii from such conduct, but it is my contention that such ar ultirr^tum usually has an opposite effect upon any groui as a \Vtiole. This was borne out within six hours after thi ultimatum was delivered. About eleven o’clock the “boom’ of the inevitable cracker was heard throughout the dorm So now, with the issue forced, our student body president proceeds to pull off another blunder. He puts off Campu; —lines up the student body and makes them state under oath that they have not shot any firecrackers, haven’t hac any in the last month, and don’t know anyone who has any crackers. Is it likely that the culprit has been exhibiting the«e firecrackers publicly? This brings up the mairi point; Is a student government which has to resort to such extreme and childish measures effective ? Why should the majority of students be punished or subjected to such un ethical treatment because of the actions of a few? We W’onder if after having witnessed this farce it wouldn’t be better to turn discipline over to “adults’’ on the faculty Perhaps the editor may be able to enlighten us. —Name withheld for obvious reasons. It is very true that the whole incident was a farce irj the highest and fullest sense of the word. As a matter ol , , fact, the case (I use the expression loosely) should never momTnrto enjoy'^^rel'^k'^ have reached the proportions that it did.

As is the case of most anything ;here are always praises, gripes is well as suggested for the bettter- nent of its condition. Because of his fact, I thought it only fitting ;hat we compile a selection of 3oth gripes and praises, hoping ;hose uttering satire would not be iianged at dawn. This was th« oasis for my asking the question. ‘WTiat is your opinion of the school cafeteria, both good and >ad, and hov/ could it best be cor- •ected?” MORTON JARRETT—It is too ;old in the morning to enjoy ?ating breakfast and even the Abater seems to be boiled in water CHARLIE STAMPER — They lave more help than they need ind that help money could very well be put into more food. Too t could be made a little more in- /iting to eat in (the place, -I .nean). BUD RINK—Green peas, string beans^ and lima beans, ugh! BOB CALHOUN—If Mrs. Mc- Callum had a free hand, the chow ATOuld be better. BOYD SMITH—I haven’t any thing against it. (He has an iron stomach). HARVEY BAXLEY—I ate there last semester and the only thing I had against it was that most of the things they had I wasn’t ac customed to eating, and there wasn’t enough free milk. BUDDY DOWELL—When visi tors are here, we have beautiful, . well-prepared chow. No visitors.. . well, no chow. Keep the visitors !oming! DB. WHARTON — The meals are very good as a whole and the breakfast is excellent. The main fault, in my opinion, is that it is was a mistake, then who is to blame? The student council; Not entirely. In this observer’s opinion the blame should go more to the people who, when the case first opened tried to influence the studest council. They would not let matters die down but inflamed an already ssre spot crying for the apprehension and the blood of the culprit. “It could have caused a fire,” they said. Why a quiet little cigarette butt lying in a pile of rubbish stands a better chance of starting a fire than that “cracker.” At least the firecrack er tells you about it. The cigarette just lies there quietly and doesn’t say a word. Let it not be construed that we think the •ulprit should have gone free and been patted on the back for what he did. He should hgve been punished, but not quite so harshly. And that’s where the student council comes in. We belieye that such a wrong should be corrected but that in the future such cases should be carried on in a more effectivte and less humiliating manner. The student coun cil should be supported when it is right, but it should also be corrected Avhen it is wrong. pare the food.

Why KEN RAMSEY—The meals are BOB OSBORNE—Uh, uh, uh, HI better? Some, a precious few, can cook shoe leather and make it taste nice, 'but gad, they sure can take a swell steak here and make it taste like leather. Since we don’t have milk as often as we’d like, why then cant we have some enjoyable aoffeal. Heated mudd[y water would be more appetizing. How about cutting out that half chicory-half coffee stuff? Too, take the grease situation, for in stance. The bacon and eggs in the morning are so greasy as to nauseate anyone. It would seem that it would be just as easy to nauseate anyone. It would seem that it would be just as easy to have it with a little less grease as it would be for it to be drip ping off into your tray. How about it, Roger? In closing this satirical bit of opinion, I would like to praise Mrs. McCalium for having ac cepted the position of Head Scape-goat for the cogs in this organization. She takes a lot every day from all of us, gri^)ing about this and griping about that, when the real fault lies elsewhere. I admit, as before, it could be cooked a little tastier, but the meals could be a lot better were it all left up to her.
