, J The Belles of St. Mary’s March 26, 1954 CONGRATULATIONS, YDC! Are St. Mary’s students finally waking up? Are they at last beeoniing interested in what is going on outside their limited worlds? BELLES believes that for a eertain group of students the answer to these questions is undeniably yes. We are advocating no particular political ])arty, but we would like to commend that small grouj) of students who formed a Young Democrats Club here at St. Mary’s and who have now swelled to an enthusiastic sixty. Although our American system of politics has often been criticized, wo should learn more about it, as it is our only means of selecting the men who are to represent us in governmental direction. The YDC, through an active participation in party work, is learning how the party system func tions and about the tyjje of men and women who make such a' system possible. With this experience behind them, these young students will have rounded themselves into well-informed citizens by the time they reach voting age. In order that our students may not be politically lop-sided, BELLES suggests that a just as eager group form a Young Republicans Club. With two such groups functioning on the campus, St. Mary’s will be able to send forth into our politically minded but often mis-informed communities in telligent citizens and certainly better-informed voters. A WORD TO THE WISE ON SPRING FEVER Spring has officially and literally arrived, and spring fever .seems to have hit St. Mary’s full force. This is certainly a wonderful, perhaps the most wonderful, time of the year. Spring vacation is coming soon, and not long after, SUMMER! The Aveather is perfect, even on cold and rainy days. Trees, bushes, and girls put on ncAV spring clothes. Now BELLES must, as it customarily does several times a year, throw a little cold Avater on all the good spirit by mentioning studying. For spring, although Avonderful, is also a very dangerous time. First semester exams are far enough behind for the memories of them to have lost some of the orange color of horror they formerly had. Final exams are still far enough aAvay to seem fairly harmless. Why should one study? You should study for one very good reason, if for no other. If you do not study, you aauII get behind, and you may not be able to catch up. With quarterlies past, it is very easy to extend spring vacation into May. It is someAvhat harder to do tAvo mouths’ work in the two Aveeks before exams. This is not the only reason Avhy you should study, however. Et'en if you are able to catch up on neglected Avork, you Avill do a half- Avay job. Later you Avill regret this, and perhaps sooner than you think. It, could eA'eii spoil your summer vacation. The idea that you haA’e Avasted your time and not done your best may folloAv you around and annoy you all summer. So for a good spring and a good summer, study noAv. Spring fever is a Avonderful ailment, but do not let it get tbe best of you. Saint Sallies Hi there all you “highball, oxy- dol, melloAv roonies AAuth the rebop.” This is Better Bopper again bring ing you tbe ueAvs of all our “real gone Belles” for past and future Aveekends.

MARY’S By Betty Dry I Avas sedately sitting in biology lab one Tuesday around 1 ;45, pre paring to observe the heart of a crayfish, Avhen all of a sudden the lab Avas filled Avith loud shouts. Naturally, I thought this display of enthusiasm Avas the result of some ncAv biological discovery, but before I could speculate any further or this, I Avas told that some celebrity Avas driving around the circle in front of Smedes. I hurriedly stuck my seaple in the crayfish’s intestine, and proceeded to folloAv the masses to the front of the campus. As I Avas shoved along by millions of hysterical females, I had visions of soon beholding the face of Rock Hudson or Eddie Fisher or some other Avho falls in the category of “its.” As Ave neared the Library, I inquired as to Avhom this commo tion Avas for, but my question Avas anSAA'ered only by startled expres sions and insipid smirks. The ap- jAroaching scene Avas one I Avill never forget, for here Avei-e 300 odd mani acs and Mr. Moore all huddled to gether AA’hile Mrs. Broughton Avas Avildly running up the street push ing the stop-light buttons. I thought to myself. Rock Hudson couldn’t be the reason for all this commotion. Perhaps McCarthy is coming doAvn to have it out Avith C.A.P. My thoughts Avere interrupted by still louder screams AA-hile my atten tion Avas draAvn to a rather large black automobile Avheeling into the gates of SMS. Around 90 girls had by this time placed themselves around the gates and Avere all point ing to the front door of Smedes. I Avas frantic! I kncAV not Avliich Avay to look. I had to make a decision— either the door or the ear. My de-- cision Avas made for me, for the large black car rode into me and there I Avas—nose to nose Avith a man Avhose nose I kneAv I had seen before. My first thought Avas Jimmy Durante, but no, this man had black hair. Who could this be? I asked, but no one ansAA’ered. I asked the “nose” Avho he Avas, but he only sniffled. With this insult, I climbed off the fender and ran around to the AvindoAv. At the AvindoAV, the herd Avas all but hanging into the car; so I retreated and Avaited. Fi nally, I heard the man speak, and no one could mistake the A'oice of this great orator—Stevenson! What a thrill! I, simple Betty Dry, had heard Stevenson. Guess the next time everyone goes to the fiolls. I’ll go right along Avith them and A'ote for Stevenson. For after all—Fve seen him!
