These phrases like them have been ringing through Foster Hall ones leaps and bounds. Tremendous im- and provements have come to pass for some weeks now as the Westminster Reserve Group since President Palmer went to takes shape. Under the sharp, commanding eyes of Genbat for the school. Within every erals Don Thomas and Tom Ault, (whichever one happens improvements have for materialized, improvements the music department, improvements for the athletic department. More and adequate teachers are being added to the school. New cars for this one, and another new to be the officer of the day) the recruits, Gary Nauman, Ed Lenker, and A1 Daniels, and a good part of the first floor residents march through the halls, in and out of rooms and up and down the stairs. (Whether or not the battalion has extended to the second and third floors or not, I dont know, because I never get up that far). But its quite a stirring sight. These patriotic young men diligently preparing for the time when they must leave home and friend to do their bit for Uncle Sam. But aside from that, there is great practical potential here. Just think! A drill team to entershows and dance intermissions! Moretain at half-tim-e of the school would increase greatly if we over, the prestige had our own R.O.T.C. Unit. And the advertising value the Armed Services would be inestimable . . . Here is a group that has the right attitude toward army life. Well, so much for military life. If anyone is interested in joining, drop in almost any night or Saturday, Im sure theyd be glad to sign you up. And besides, this might be a good way to fulfill your military obligation. The Mardi Gras has just passed, and I feel I should say a word or two about some of the costumes I saw there. type thing. It Mary Ann Taylor wore a sort of leapard-ski- n was quite cute except one thing puzzled me. I couldnt figure out if she was on the outside trying to get in, or on the inside trying to get out. Jeannine Goodwin went as a tube of toothpaste. It was amazing, at the end of the evening it didnt even look squeezed. Lulu and Donna wore green faces and signs marked Gnome. Im glad too, because hate to get the wrong impression. I understand the Sophomore Dance is upon us. This is the formal one where the men must wear what is commonly known as soup and fish. I guess thats OK, but its apt to be a bit gooie. Im going to wear a herring-bon- e tweed with matching Latest word from the faculty front, Mr. Kuzara bought a recent issue of Playboy .

Letter Jackets for the athletes, trips to California for the choir, team trips to Denver for the basketball team. Now you might be in a questionable situation, and wonder what I am talking about. Well along with all the improvements, what in heavens name happened to the good things that were being passed out, when the school paper came to mind? I thought the paper was also. a representative of The parking situation on the campus has been brought up in this department before. The laws, since the first of the school years have been relaxed, and parking is a problem. We feel that the laws, if they had been enforced by an appointed enforcement agency would have made the problem almost nil. Parking along the road in front of Foster Hall should be halted. As any one who drives a car from Foster can tell you, it is a real problem trying to get in and out of the places provided in front of the building. People parking there are not only violating the no parking laws, but they are parking on the grass. Another sore spot on the campus is in front of Ferry Hall. South of the Science the school. But if you sat down Building is a huge parking lot which should be used. Not and analyzed it carefully, you only for residents and visitors of Ferry but for the entire would find- not enough or should student body.

This system will especially include unproctored examinations. John Cutley 56, chairman of the Academic Honor Code Committee, said in reference to the experiment that it is a big step forward in developing student responsibility. This is the first time such a system has been tried here, and althoug hthe faculty has approved it, the measure will still have to undergo the approval of 75 per cent of the classes. The dean of the university stated that three years ago he would not have approved of unproctored examinations, but he feels that students today are more responsible. The Brown faculty agreed to the measure on the condition that a faculty member be on hand at the beginning of the examination to answer any questions, and that a student be apointed to collect the examination papers at the end of the class and to handle any emergency which would ordinarily fall within jurisdiction of the instructor in charge. Cutley said that he hopes that the Honor Code can be presented before the student body for a vote before March. SKETCHES by Gary Johnston I saw a cartoon in the paper the other day; a reprint of an old Webster Classic. It showed two boys standing in front of a bookcase. The bookcase was empty except for three objects on one shelf which the boys were discussThat brass things a shell ing. from the Fiqt World War, said the first, Right next to it is a piece of the great wall of China, and last is a book. Dad says he can remember when people spent a whole evening reading one of those things. , It is difficult to say whether this cartoon is more funny or sobering. Certainly it is not without a large grain of truth. I do not intend to wax moralistic, but it is indeed sobering to note that such a cartoon represents the attitudes of so many of us; namely that books went out with highbutton shoes, or at least, are only in the provFewer and ince of the classroomfewer of us read for our own pleasure.
