The cheerleaders bonfire will end the evening as the roaring flames send the Colorado College Tiger in effigy to the clouds in smoke.

The parade will boast ten floats, eight convertibles bearing the queen, her attendants and the class officers, and five drill teams will march plus two festivities. Floats, decorations and ideas are literally flowing from jam sessions. With officers recruiting and students volunteering, everyone is getting into the act.

The CCUN was created in 1964 by a mere handful of college students. Since that time CCUN has grown to embrace approximately 400 clubs across the country, groups which engage daily in the programs to spread knowledge and create informed student opinion for the United Nations. The CCUN is a college level Model United Nations, where once a year regional schools meet in a Model United Nations General Assembly. , Some years ago Westminster had a Model United Nations on campus which wras very active in the regional meets. Because of the lack of student participation, the club was dissolved. Westminster has the chance to make this organization work once again, but this can only be brought about by student interest. To promote this interest within the studentbody, the CCUN will bring guest speakers, films, and debates on vital topics. This years regional meeting of the CCUN will be held at San Francisco. The meeting will be in April, which would give us time to organize and submit an application for a country to represent. October 20, 1965 membrance from the school. name.

Girls Make '65 Pep Experimental Club Work WC Rah-Ra- H Patiently developing stone-harbulging calves and a conrickdition known as rah-ra- h ets from climbing up goal posts are a group of girls who make experiup the Westminster mental pep club. And these girls are trying to make a worthy tradition for our school to carry on. They receive credit for one hour of Physical Education for d, , meeting four hours a week for marching practice, not counting the extra hours they must put into decorating and moraleboosting. For example, the girls, led by their president, Joy Voita, have been decorating the goals for our home games, diligently and faithfully, though some s just as diligently and faithfully pull down the streamers before the end of the eight-year-old- Comment IHIeredsty, IQ, by George Woodhead A child is born. His eyes open. His ears clear. His sense of smell sharpens. And his hands begin to feel the presence of the soft blankets in which he is wrapped, while his tongue marvels at new sensations. An old world unfolds it wonders and mysteries to a new life. The child giggles and coos with the thrills of adventure, discovery, fear, and joy. Months of darkness begin to have their reward. A clean slate, a blank tape recorder, a clear white piece of paper, the childs mind is ready. Ready to record, to register, to photograph, to remember anything everything. Everything that the child sees, hears, touches, smells, tastes everything. New things await. A smiling face, uttering soft and trusting yet strange and obtrusive tones, suddenly sprouts arms as the childs eyes, singularly focusing on the friendly face, realize that there is more to this form in front of him. The form reaches forward with its newly acquired arms, lifts the child gently and bolds his closely. The child quivers slightly, he blinks his fresh or Environment eyes, trying to grasp the significance of all the new things about him. The newly discovered form carries him down a long hall and into another room. There the friendly form gently transfers the child to a recumbent position alongside another child who is sleeping next to an animate third form. The childs awakened eyes discover the images of his twin brother and of his mother. Shortly, he associates them with a feeling of love and closeness. The years go by, and under the careful guidance of their mother and the watchful eye of their father, the twins grow apparmentally physically ently alike and together. Their senses register everything about them. Each twin records the things that he senses in a similar yet different way from those inscribed in his brothers mind. They go to almost all the same almost. The see just places about the same things just about. They hear nearly the same persons speak nearly. Their interests form, their abilities blossom. But, one is stimulated by numbers, intrigued by the wonders of algebra, thrilled with the challenge of geometry, excited to the thought of trigonometry. He is a capable fast student, and handles his school work in, stride, with no apparent effort. The other, what happened to the other; number chill him. To him mathematics is just a name. The name of a subject that others, like his brother delve in; it has no real value, interest, or use. The second brother wants to build intricate models of old whaling ships, carve delicate images of fast automobiles, and draw or paint panoramic landscapes, and active pictures that tell meaningful stories. He is a fair student, but might not be able to enter the college that his parents aspire for both him and his twin brother. In come the experts, checking to see why the differences in the two boys. They bring their IQ tests, their ability measuring in their sticks, their pseudo-tool- s panacea portfolios. They measure and test test and measure, putting on a proficient air of ableness, making their science appear as if it has emerged from (Continued on Page 2) first quarter. They also have devoted much! effort to decorating the locker loom and making individual footballs or football players for each member of our team with some phrase (Good luck!) attached to each with the players name. But, basically, though the drill team plans to march for the Homecoming parade and for half-tim- e at the game, they consider themselves a basketball drill team. Very soon they will have completed their outfits (purple corduroy dresses, lined in gold with a gold W, gold pompoms and white gloves) and will show off their first drill, while we sit cn their decorated bleachers. If the experiment is ruccess-ful- , and if the present plan can be carried out, try-ou- t for pep club will be held in the spring, so the organizational problems can be delved into earlier and the club can march for next years football season.
