BY JUD FARMER Dear Editor: Well, here I am again, the poor mans Dan Valentine. I know you11 all be happy to see that due to the overwhelming acceptance of my last column, I have decided to continue writing. This is because I feel that this campus should, have some cultural influence. During the rush and confusion of registration, I took a minute out to look at a class schedule, on which I noticed entire student body, or the right several interesting things. The first thing I noticed was that parts thereof, should have prompt a class in Genetics is being offered: This is very good, if and exact information about Im confused. If my small poll has proved anything, a lot of people around campus are in the same state. The confusion stems from conflicting announcements, second-han- d versions, and someannouncements no regardtimes If school ing school, activities. spirit is to be built and held; the school functions. The recent is an outstanding example.

The club, headed by Chairman Ed Oliver and sponsored by Dr. Carroll P. Hurd, will present a series of lectures and discussion periods involving prominent figures in the world political situations. There will be no restrictions on membership in the newly formed Club. It is not necessary to be Political Science Major or minor, or a campus Y member. This is an excellent opportunity for all students and faculty members to get an insight into foreign affairs. We further urge all interested persons to attend the first meeting of the year, on Wednesday, October '5th. Further details will be posted soon. The meeting will concern itself with the Argentine problem Entitled Peron, Junta or Democracy?, the meeting will feature Mrs. Elizabeth Sloane as guest speaker. Mrs. Sloane, a Westminster graduate, lived for some time in Argentina. Dr. Hurd will explain the; political dilemna confronting the Argentine people. Refreshments will be served later. .More on the student lounge It might be wise to point out here to the students that the student lounge profits will return to the students. In some respects its operation is similar to the PX the GIs are so familiar with. As far as can be ascertained, the Du Flop is building quite a bank account. Of course it is still too early to tell for sure just what the future will bring. You, the students will have to help make it a success. Possibly if the profits continue, the lounge will be able to open nights. i Ideas, around and about There are several good suggestions contained in the anonymous letter received by the Parson recently. Perhaps some one reading it can do something about them. The Parson has attempted to rectify its mistakes in the distribution of the papers. If the method is still not successful, we will try other ways to distribute to the students. After reading the letter, possibly other groups will arrange their programs appropriately. The student council should act on these suggestions. An idea received by the editor of The Parson verbally sounds like a good one. With this new spirit and enthusiasm shown around the campus this year, it has been mentioned that one thing is lacking. How about a large block W on one of the mountain east of the college. There is a good project for some club to undertake. It would make :a fine tradition, besides it would let everyone know once rand for all that Westminster is still around and a power to be reckoned with. The tradition could be like having the Freshman climb the hill and white wash it. The logical ones to start something like that would be the Freshman class this year and have it ready for next years Freshmen. What about it????? x -- youre interested, you can take it and find out why you look like that. Also I see there are several philosophy classes being taught. Philosophy . . . that means being able to explain why you are happy even when you are poor. I think the most important thing to be noted is the class in Organic Chemistry. I took Organic Chemistry once. I only remember one fact about it. For those of you in the class who may have the same thing in mind, I refer you to page 18 of the college catalog, paragraph next to the bottom. the student body.
