HEARTBREAK
So black is our life,
And bare,
With many shy dreams
That wane.
She gives a coy smile,
A wink;
He answers her flirt
With love;
A kiss; timid vows
Of hope.
Then comes a cold look,
A word
Gall tipped, a closed door,
A sigh
As soft as worn string
That parts,
And life again black
And bare.
— Theodore Troy
Will Student
Government Live?
By Harold Hamilton
Now that the officers of our student
government have been elected in the
persons of William Breeding, presi
dent, and Marlene Dobbs, secretary;
and all of the praising of their virtues
and accomplishments by the orators
is over, the tendency now, I suspect,
will be a loss of interest among the
students.
1 hope that an active interest in
the student government will continue
and that the need for backing the
organization wholeheartedly will not
be overlooked.
It is for us, the students, whether
we are members of the People’s Party
or Liberal Party, to insist that the
Platform on which the party won be
carried out. If those elected do not
carry out their promises, some ex
planation is due those who elected
them. We cannot afford to tolerate
any laxity in the student government.
I propose that there be an amend
ment to the constitution of the Stu
dent Council providing for the im
peachment of the officers and repre
sentatives if they are found derelict
in their duties. If such must be done,
I suggest that until another election
time a temporary student council —
composed of the president of each
class, represent the student body.
I propose that alleged inefficiency,
which would lead to impeachment,
be determined by a committee ap
pointed by the respective classes and
composed of one member of each
class. The duty of this committee,
as has been suggested, should be only
to investigate the charges against the
student council administration when
there appears to be evidence that the
council is not functioning properly,
and report its findings to the student
body.
All of this, as I see it. is to
make certain that student govern
ment succeeds.
