Student Help Needed
All of a sudden it seems the various student governing
bodies on the campus have come to life.
Monday night while the Arts and Sciences Council was
busy drafting recommendations on the parking and traffic
situation, the Engineering Council was earnestly discussing
the problem of low grades among the engineering freshmen.
The Senate currently is wrestling with a compulsory in
surance program. „ ,
Such worthwhile interest is enough to restore laith to
even the most severe critics of these groups.
As to the outcome of these projects there can be only
speculation. Naturally _ they need student participation
whether it be for or against. , , ,. ,,
Since they are the voices of the student body, they can t
speak very true if they aren’t helped.
Both Councils have problems not uncommon to college
officials and can most likely get official support as well as
that of the students. No one wants bad grades or a poor
parking situation. ,,
Apparently the Senate itself is undecided over the in
surance program. First a general election was decided to see
if it carried student body agreement and then it was called
off. . ,
Unless it is planned for the insurance program to die
without a student vote it probably will be discussed at the
Senate meeting tomorrow night. n ^ , ,,
The idea of accident insurance is good, but it doesnt
seem necessary for it to be compulsory for all students who
pay their medical fees. . 1 .
Any program that can’t stand on its own merit and has
to be compulsory is not worth having.
Regardless of the opinion, both of the Councils and the
Senate need student interest or they no longer fill their pur
pose in serving the student body.
Aggie Players Hold Try-Outs
Director C. K. Esten announced
last night that try-outs for the
Aggie Players next production will
be held Thursday and Friday
nights in the Music Hall at 7:30.

the Players would present “Skin
of Our Teeth” by Thornton Wilder
March 25, 26, 27, 29 in the Me
morial Student Center.
Vic Weining will assist Esten in
the direction of the satirical Wilder

Both men urged that students

Nobody Gave A Hoot For J. Paul Sheedy* Till
Wildroot Cream-Oil Gave Him Confidence
•'Wise everybody avoid me so?” h-owled J. Paul. "Because you’re such a
ruffled old bird”, replied his best buddy. Well that really opened Sheedy’s
eyes. He took a taxi-dermist down to the store and pecked up a bottle
of Wildroot Cream-Oil. Now he’s the picture of
confidence because he knows his hair always looks its
best from morning till night. So ii people have been
hooting at your messy hair, screech for a bottle or
tube of Wildroot Cream-Oil. It’s guaranteed to keep
your hair neat but not greasy. And all the gals will go
out of their way to beak to you.
