Several months ago, Mr. Lees January 12. Various changes involving the Mardi Gras this year were discussed in SGAC. The changes include Old and Middle English names for the Mardi Gras, the buildings on campus, the Streets on campus, and a different approach to the Mardi Gras Royalty. These ideas were presented to SGAC by JohnMcNaugh-to- n, Park Miller, and Marilyn of the Speech Department brought to S.G.A.C. a proposal, that would givev Westminster an old Studentbody English tradition.

Second, nickname the buildings; third, have a school coat of arms and fourth to rename Mardi Gras.

The: buildings to be nicknamed would be Foster Hall, Converse Hall, Have You Noticed? Pierson. The Student Body will have a chance to vote on the names and changes brought before SGAC, who narrowed the list down to four names per item. The final three drafts of the School Banner were presented to SGAC and the Student Body will vote on a final choice registration day. Working hard to wind up the constitution, President Joe Ford stated that the constitution in conjection with Student Court is a month and a half overdue. He asked that it be completed by January 26 and be turned into Ferry Hall and maybe an entirely new name for the Student Lounge. Since Westminster is without a school emblem, three ideas have been suggested and ready to have the studentbody vote on them. The emblem to of the gain the satisfaction studentbody will be designated as the schools coat of arms. The changing of the name Mardi Gras is for this simple reason; Mardi Gras has nothing to do with the actual celebrated Mardi Gras in New Orleans. Our Mardi Gras has neither the same meaning nor is at the same time as the actual celebration. All four of these ideas will be voted on by the studentbody.

The clock was installed last December. v Supreme Court Acts As Dorm Council by Bill Whorton This punk in his early tw-ent- ys, either by force or by persuasion, took a college girl for a ride. When she resisted his wishes, he killed her. Later when things got hot, he made a sworn, complete confession, but the prosecuting attorney said to a reporter, I have nothing on him except his confession, and the Supreme Court says that it is no good, so I guess we will have to turn him free." A mother taped her four year old sons mouth, bound him, and beat him to death with a rubber hose and a broomstick. Because the police after arresting her didnt spell out her rights to the last detail, the case against her was dismissed. When her attorney thanked the judge, the judge said, Dont thank me, thank the Supreme Court. A criminal lawyer named Lee Bailey had cases pending in seventeen different states. One of his cases was Sam Sheppard. He said he would have no trouble setting him free in a second trial and he didnt. I think Sheppard was innocent but another of his cases was and i$ ,the Tqc.-so- n punk who took the coeds into the desert, killed them, and boasted about it to his friends, both male and female. More than two dozen students it for weeks and knew about said nothing about it to the authorities. Bailey says he will have no trouble setting this killer free either. Another of his cases is the man who admits to being the Boston Strangler. He confessed to thirteen stranglings and about 500 rapes. Bailey says he will get him off, because the strangler killed all the witnesses, and his confession is no good even though he knew some things, that the police didnt even know, and only the strangler would or could know. His confession is no good according to the prehistoric idiots on the Supreme Court. "Theyll overrule themselves any time they want. Theyre not judging cases up there; theyre making laws. In American courts today, the prosecuting attorney says, Your Honor, this man is guilty, he admits it and has sworn it on paper. The court says, Thats no evidence. Do you have witThe prosecution has nesses? so the case is dismissed. none, There certainly is no civilization in the world today, so-call- ed except this one, that so stacks all the advantages in favor of the criminal. It is becomming impossible to convict him. If they cant afford a lawyer, the government will hire one for them. In Washington, the police when they arrest a person have to We give the following speech: will tell you what your rights are. You dont have to say a thing or answer, a single question. You have the right to talk to your lawyer before we question you, and have him present when we do question you. When to your lawyer, you have the right to refuse to answer any of his questions. If you cant afford a lawyer, the government will hire one for you. Im not saying we should send an innocent man to the chair or to prison as in the case of Sam Sheppard, but should we turn a person who we know is guilty, free, to murder and rape and rob as he has in the past just because there are no witnesses? Its becoming easier to get away with more all the time, and as I said, the criminals know it. Crime doesnt pay? Never in the history of the world has it paid so well and so safely as in Guest Psych Talk Points To Interesting View The Abnormal Psychology class was privileged to have as their guest speaker, last month George Pemberton, teacher-lect- urer for the Napoleon Hill Academy under the direction of Dr. Napoleon Hill who originated the Science of Personal Mr. Pemberton described the mind as a type of which we use to solve our problems and reach our goals. He said the first step in achieving success is to set a lifetime goal. By having a goal, our mind can start to work on this goal if we feed it the proper data, and trust it to solve our problems. Obviously we must have a positive attitude towards servo-mechani- sm this goal and expect to reach it. In fact it will help if we can see ourselves already achieving this goal. The key point of his lecture was a statement he quoted from Napoleon Hill: What the mind can conceive and believe, man can achieve." Dr. DeVille stated that many mental illnesses are the result of ones attitude and conception of ones mental state and capabilities. this country today.
