By BESSIE MILLER “Why have I received a D grade when my tests were B’s and Cs?" “It isn’t fair" How many times have you heard this remark about school? What many of us fail to realize is that one's grades can be lowered a full grade after each three absences This rule was originated to make people cognizant of the fact that the learning process demands for most students regular class attendance Teachers lecture each day because the material is vital to the subject they are teaching When this material is missed grades are bound to suffer It is doubtful that there are many students attending college upon the just for the fun of it Not only does one's future depend which he in communities also the obtains but he that knowledge lives suffer or grow according to his abaility to contribute to them Why not turn over a new leaf in a new quarter? Where it is our power to keep our grades up let's do so Cutting classes is for the birds and who wants to eat birdseed? Littering Continues By ALAN JENSEN College-levstudents should set an example to younger people Case in point-strelittering This problem is steadily growing worse to the It has come point that it looks as if an open garbage truck had made the rounds of several streets on a windy day These include 4th East from the Milky Way to the College 4th North from the high school to the college and 4th East from 6th to 7th North On Carbon Avenue it is not uncommon for a person to find a jam sandwich and pop cans on his front steps or pop bottle glass sidewalk This is a result of junior shattered all over the paper-strew- n high students eating their lunches as they walk from the business district If they were required to stay at school until their lunches were eaten this part of the problem could be alleviated Another facet is that of the high school students Many of them walk to a store and cafe near the college to purchase snacks On the way back to school they throw wrappers and containers along the way The glass on the sidewalks is bad enough but it is particularly hazardous on the streets We think it is time something was done about this situation and suggest that the police department take some action to keep our dty clean el et All is quiet in the upper halls of Carbon College It is 6:00 the janitors have finished their labors for another day the boys from the dorm have finished their dinner and most of the students have left for home Most I say for all of a sudden a terrific banging is heard comin gfrom the organic chemistry lab However do not be alarmed it is only Reba Keele who has gotten herself locked in while doing her lab for her rocks and minerals class (You see Mr Burge some of your students study!) The situation begins to look serious when no one can find a janitor or a teacher who has a key to the room After about 10 minutes of hunting and using to a everything from a hair-pi- n to wire lock of it the piece pick is decided that someone must go get Mr Christiansen to come to get her out Mr Trujillo and Dr One set off in hot pursuit while the advisibility of shoving a blanket and a pillow under the door is debated In a few minutes Mrs Christiansen and Judy come to the rescue Reba is released and all go their separate ways again Tie y which held them tois gether over now What tragedy? you say Well for goodness sakes Reba might have had to stay in there all night! She might even have had to study for want of something to do! Carousel Enjoyed When a major production is presented it involves much hard work and cooperation We are sure that almost everyone in Carbon College’s production of Carousel will agree With all this work and cooperation a magnificent show was produced A visitor from Snow College declared that the scenery was superb and that it surpassed that used in Snow's production of “Carousel’’ last week He noted that the lighting technicians were better at picking up their cues than Snow’s Volunteers Wanted Is us Counseling Needed?

The door of one of the apartments in the girls’ dorm doses and the sound of running feet is heard What’s the matter? you ask Is it a fire? No only wash and inspection night After throwing all the clothes into a heap the breakfast and lunch dishes into the sink and the rugs onto the porch to be shaken later one frantic girl begins to dust another to sweep the floor and the third to separate the clothes into batches Shoes belts slippers and nylons are hastily kicked into the closet and books are neatly stacked any place that’s handy usually on the floor since the table still has the Sunday comics spread on it After about 15 minutes of frantic rushing around the place begins to take on a semblance of order and the girls begin to relax Bong! the back doorbell rings and someone scurries to answer it “Inspection!" yell Mr and Mrs Ted Jensen the inspectors The girls hold their breaths hoping fervently that Ted won't open the closet and get beaned with that lone tennis shoe which was so swiftly thrown in after the mate couldn’t be found All is well however as Ted says “Pretty good girls” and leaves Everyone breathes easier and gets back to normal What’s normal? With a bottle of pop In one hand a sandwich in the other and an English book on the floor in front of her each girl settles down to study — at least for a few minutes until someone starts to goof off Then all thoughts of sutdy are abandoned for another night But that's life in the dorms and after all we’re young only once!
