I would wish that we could break through the walls of race and creed, conquer hatred, and shatter pride. We all have some sort of prejudice built up inside that may have been formed many years ago or maybe, for some, just a short time 'ago. If every one of us would try a little bit harder to eliminate these feelings of indifference toward others, our country could run a lot smoother. But if we nourish these feelings they will grow and become so strong and over-powering that our way of life could fail. Become Strong Americans To live without fear or hatred of people who look or 'act differently from ourselves would be a wonderful thing. In doing this, our bad traits would be a thing of the past. In this way we could become good strong Americans, But just what type of an American have we chosen to be ? How do we feel with regard to race, color, or creed? Are Americans actually obligated in 'accepting the privileges of citizenship, to believe that all men are born free and equal? Live With Ourselves Our task now is to live with ourselves in anever-narrowing space and an ever more interdependent society. We can do it only under the rule of the law and by respect for the rights of others. Do we as Americans believe that the special pride of the United States is the idea that all men are born free and equal? Since we are not born equal in size, wealth, color, intelligence, or strength, this must mean equal in opportunity and in the treatment of citizens. America's Goal Jefferson defined our national goals in the Declaration of Independence as life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. If we all could live with malice toward none, with charity for all; with firmness in right, as God gives us to see the right . . . to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations, then mine and all American's wishes would be fulfilled. Congratulations Prof. Weber College Instructor, Larry C. Evans, has passed all ithe tests for his PhD. Degree in Philosophy. All he has left to do is write his dissertation. Campus Problems Can Be Solved If Students Aren't So Careless Several problems have arisen pertaining to the parking space and litter on the campus. Many students have complained because there isn't enough room to park itheir cars. More parking space would be available in the area west of the Union Building if students would use only the space needed to park their cars. One day students found that nine more people could have par ked their cars in the U. B. area if 'the cars had been parked right. Many students are careless in throwing litter around the campus. They throw garbage out of their cars while eating their lunches. This causes the campus to appear messy and increases the expense of keeping it clean. The campus belongs to the students, and it reflects their thinking. Try to improve theseconditions.

By Reed Conger Everyone is talking about the highly successful broad-way hit "The Evil Ideas of Henry Hekelmyer the Sinister Professor of our College Campuses." Don't let the ludicrous title effect your bias, as this is 'an action-packed epic of college campus life. sinister Harry Hekelmyer, the professor, is cast in the leading role. He. is terrific. Innocent Lillie White and Study Hall Sally are cast as the victims of evil Harry Hekelmyer in the horror movie. Hekelmyer transforms from humanitarian-minded soul into a sinister cur, bent on destroying the future of innocent college students by flunking them ail from school. The uncouth cad schemes by locating such students as Bongo Beatin' Billy, Who is paid to strum his fingers loudly atop the hardwood desk during the final exaims; Hep Cat Henry, who displays his finger dexterity by doing tricky finger manipulations known as "finger-snapping"; and Pencil Clicking Clarence who is accompanied by his transistor. Finger Cracking Carey, although cast in a lass prominent role, is also part of Hekelmyer's evil plan. The strategies of sinister Harry Hekelmyer are a wailing success. The victimized students ban together in a chorus to cry "unfair, unfair!", and are accompanied by weeping mothers and irritated fathers but to no avail. It is a true' tragedy. To offer some consolation, how-every sinister Harry Hekelmyer dies of over-exertion while formulating test questions which even scientifically-produced off-spring of Einstein couldn't answer. Naturally the students were allowed to continue school because the hero can't be wronged. This fictional horror movie will rock the nation in its shoes. It will likely be nominated for an academic award this fall. The movie moral, although vaguely asserted, goes something like this: don't worry about the light bill during final-exam-week (light is inexpensive college education, costly). Plan ahead so as not to get caught by latent lessons; and most important, if you have a professor like sinister Harry Hekelmyer "for goodness salve-drop the class!". Cheer Up! Life Could Be Worse By Dorothy Erkelens Epitaph of the procrastinating student: Don't complain when someone tracks mud into your house! What better way is there to bring the winter spirit into your home? You could be one of those "elite" Weberites who scramble for the loor as the voice over the P.A. announces another car has "broken loose and is rolling toward tho fence." Lii'e isn't as bad as it seems; just because you forgot your reserve books and are now supporting the library with that extra job you don't have. The world may look gloomy but as soon as tho dark cloud covering the sun moves, it's rays will block your path of vision again. For a final word of encouragement: Don't worry! If the class avenage is low enough, the curve system may give you all "A's". |
