o The Case Of Hendrix And Hudson
Student Council men are barred from membership on the
University Dance committee.
Bill Hendrix was recently elected vice-president of the
Student body. He was also elected president of the German
club, and automatically, a member of the University Dance
committee. But because he was a Student council man, the
German club was politely but firmly asked to elect another
president.
"Bud" Hudson, exchequer of the Grail, and automatically,
a member of the Dance committee was chosen hold-over Stu
dent council man. Hudson may be forced to withdraw from
the Student council. This curious unwritten law has a his
torical origin.
During the Jazz Age of the early twenties, dances on the
campus became glorified musical brawls. University men
begged their sisters to stay away from them.
When the University administration asked the students
themselves for action to improve a rotten situation, the
German club accepted the challenge.
The University Dance committee was created, given in
dependent powers and told to roll up its sleeves to regulate
and discipline campus dances as it saw fit. It was made self
perpetuating. The Dance committee felt that to make its discipline ef
fective, it should be completely free from Student council
supervision.
The campus suffered from "council inhibitions," said the
committee. Threats of council investigations hung heavily
over students' heads.
By making its punishment arbitrary, the committee won
campus confidence.
No longer do University men have compunctions against
inviting their sisters to dances. The Dance committee was
successful.
But the University Dance committee assumed powers
which did not belong to it. It assumed the power of denying
Student council members seats in its meetings, the power
of keeping its files secret from the council, and the power
of denying the Student council supreme authority on the
campus.
The University Dance committee acts "in bad faith," not
only toward the Student council, but toward democratic
student government as a whole.
It must either follow in the steps of the interfraternity
and interdormitory councils and "cooperate" with the Stu
dent council, or it must air and restate its whole philosophy
of "hiding" its actions.
The committee is forced either to explain itself or to right
its breach of faith in student government. D. B.
LETTERS
To The Editor
Grandeur That Was Rome
Up in the attic of South building yesterday, we saw three
life-sized plaster figures Minerva, Apollo, and Venus de
Milo.
They were dirty and chipped and black in the attic twi
light. A spider was spinning her web across Apollo's waist.
Few people remember those statues. The janitor in South
sees them once in a while. He keeps his other junk in the
attic.
Back around 1900, graduating classes from the University
bought Minerva and Apollo and Venus de Milo. They were
given to the school Senior class gifts'.
The Senior class of 1938 will soon choose its gift.
They can buy us another statue. There is room for another
in the South attic.
Or they can buy us something we can use.
They could help us buy comfortable seats for Memorial
Hall. F. H.

The infirmary, as long as I
have been in school, has been a
sore spot on the campus . . .
I heard of a boy who fell and
broke his arm. He went to the
infirmary it was late at night
and the nurse, in an ill-tempered
way, gave him some sleep
ing pills and told him to come in
during office hours. A fine way
to treat a broken arm.

I told some boys I was going
to write this letter and every
one of them had a pet grievance
against the place. Not one was
in favor of the infirmary.

us. He has a
fine physique,
barring a Hun
nish nose, and
always gets to semi-finals in
wrestling. When he hits a tough
course, he will study and study,
and always squeeze out some
where around honor roll.
He makes us laugh by being
loud and funny. Even though
he is a stray Phi Psi from Johns-
Hopkins, a fraternity here has
adopted Bob ; and so loud can he
roar that his adopter made him
its unofficial co-pledge-master.
If you had been near the girl's
hockey field yesterday you would
have heard Bob roar. He was
playing lacrosse, and the game
delights him, because he can roar
and shout and fight and kick.
He likes lacrosse because in it
you can hit an opponent in any
place and in any way except
with a full 360-degree wallop.
