causes before you Isnd the strength of' your name to thoir petitions and their rolls. ■ Coniaunisn feeds on ignorance. Be informed. ^Tover yeild to the disasterous luxury of emotional or."fuzzy" thinking. Stick to the facts. Comnmism seeks- change. 'It would make the state the master and' the individual is the key. Our form of government is only as good as the people in it. Consequently, it cannot bo perfect. But act- ive intelligent effort has made it function in such a manner that it has been the- marvel and the envy of the world. You hold the future in your hands. Be a crusader for democracy. Communism lives on,lies. It corrodes honor, destroys integrity, and subverts all the qualities which combine in an individual to make him, in the truest sense, a.man. t/herever there is an honest man, there is an island of strength. Live honorably. ■ ^ ^ Lastly, Communism wears a cloak of many colors. Learn to rec ognize those colors, , and no act of yours vrill tend to bring to fru ition-the destructive'harvest wh.ich the Communist seeks, and toward which all his efforts are bent. • In closing, I should like to advertize for the bookstore and say that Mr. Hoover has written a new. book, entitled "A Study of Communism" which i now available.^ ' Respectfully, Miss Carol Trageser. Dear Editor, This letter is not directed to the SGA, but to the Administration, ’T paper is the only means a.person has where he can give his views so every one can see them and not just the administration. Many students, including myself, are dissatisfied at the way certain’ teachers are giving exams. So far this semester, there have been tests given at night for day classes three times. There have been many reasons for the giving of the tests, but none of them seem satisfactory to the stu dents taking them. The teacher v/ho gavo these tests did not offer too reasons for this procedure. This teacher gave a night test last vJodn^wdd.''’- The reason he gave for this ni^ht test was that "th.i.n will givo tlie studoii enough time to finish the tost." i/hat he meant by this was that his suppo sedly "hour tost" actually takes more than one hour to completej and that ho gave it in the day time, the students would have to come back later in day to complete it. As a matter of fact. the test lasted from, two to thrc hours. This length of-time can be expected in advanced" courses and on oxl but in freshriian and sophomore courses, this seems ridiculous. I hope some thing will be done about this in the near future.. Yours truly, A confused sophomore TO THE EDITOR; I HAVE BEEN F0LL0I>7ING THE DEVELOPMENT OP YOUR PUBLICATION V/ITH GREAT INTEREST, AS I PEEL THAT EVERY C^IMPUS SHOULD HAVE A STUDENT PUBLICATION, ONLY A GLANCE AT THIS IS NEEDED TO ASSURE ONE THAT THE campus crier IS INDEED A STUDENT PUBLICATION. HOWEVER WHILE GLANCING AT THE ABOVE MENTIONED SHEET, ONE ALSO IS WITH THE PACT THAT MOST OP THE NON-REPORTING MATERIAL IS DEVOTED TO THE L^IMBASTING OP THE COLLEGE ADMINISTRATION. LET MB POINT OUT THAT I ixM Ni IN THE LEAST OPPOSED TO THE OLD ANGLO-SilXON SPORT OP ADMINISTRATION- BAITING, ONE VffllCH GOES BACK TO PRE-MAGNA CARTA TIMES, AND HAVE EVEN SEr PIT TO INDULGE IN IT MYSELP. HOWEVER, I DO HATE TO SEE A TEMPTING TARG>’ BEGGING BAITING, GO UNNOTICED. I REPER TO THE STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOC.. THAT AMAZING COLLECTION OP COLLIGATES TOOSE EFFORTS OFTEN GO UNNOTICED, AND SOMETIMES GO UNDONE. WE ALL HAVE BEEN DELUGED WITH AMPLE REPORTS fP THE WONDERS TEAT HAVE BEEN TOOUGHT BY OUR SGA. SO PERHAPS WE COULD NOW LOOK FOR SOME SM^iLL BLEMISH ON THE NEGATIVE SIDE OP THE LEDGER. WELL, AS A STARTER, LET'S LOOK AND SEE JUST WHAT THEY HAVE DONE OP EARTH-SHAKING OR EVEN 0AK-R.1TTLING IMPORTANCE. NOW THAT IfE HAVE DONE THAT WE CAN GET BACK TO THE PUN, NAMELY CRITICIZING, THE STUDENT GA REALLY DOBS NOTHING EXCEPT SIT AROUND AND TELL ITSELF HOW HORRIBLE CONDITIONS SJiE HERB AND HOW STIPPLING THEY ARE TO THE CREATIVITY OP THESE SUPER-NATTJRALLY ENDOWED SPECIMENS OUT OP THE MIND 0 NEITZCHE. NATURALLY I REPER TO THOSE BENEFACTORS OP THE HUMAN RACE—-- THE SUPERMAN. (UNFORTUNATELY, OUR OmJ BRAND OP SUPERMAN RESEMBLES NEITZCHE'S ABOUT AS TENIOUSLY AS DID TWAIN'S MEDIEVAL CITY RESEMBLE THE WINDY CITY OP CHICAGO).
