registration stickerb on their win
dows were given “tickets” request
ing that the car be registered with
the administration or parked in the
public parking areas.
This ticket did not apply to visit
ors on the campus.
The "ticket" move was made by
the Dean’s office in cooperation
with the Student Government As
sociation committee on parking
problems.
A spokesman for the committee
said that if the same cars were
found parked on University lots
without being registered they
would be subject to impoundment
by the police department.
Buddy Moore, president of SGA,
said that work was being done to
ease the parking situation on the
campus. He stated that several

Bearing

Rat Court...
(CoatlaaH from page 1)
the freshmen returned to their seats
to await another opportunity.
The crowd attending the occasion
was made ap of as maay ipperrlass-
mea as freshmen. Home of them en-
roaraged the demonstration*. Oie
sophomore was teen holding ■ half
deiea watches, pressatahly belong
ing to freshmen.
Finally, a group of high spirited
freshmen set out on an expedition
to capture Dean Cook. They ware
laet seen dragging him to a door
and probably from there to a wait
ing car. But the door was locked.
Cook eecaped and pronounced Rat

by Brarklngbam .
Two current rages are "sending” our beloved female teen-egere.
and many other mature girls. You gueaaed It, Blvls and James Dean.
Like most of the male populace. I know thinga 1 would rather
see on Ed Sullivan's TV shpw than melodrama* about the aforementioned
two
Now Elvis isn't too bad when just listening to him. But to WATCH
him sing is utterly revolting. I really like to HBAK the “Don’t Be
Cruel" und other calm-downed songs, but watching those suggestive
gyrations is not for me.
The erase for Elvis I might see. Surely handsome, in a bulkey,
greasy sort of way. he Is the pinnacle for the lonely teen-aged hearts.
But the reason for the halo for the departed Dean is above me.
In the only picture in which 1 saw Dean. East ef Eden, be turned
in a notable job of acting, and seemed like a decant fellow. But 1
understand his Rebel Without a Cause waa a rallying point for hoodlums
of the younger bracket.
Maybe I'm Just another writer saying that motorcycles and hot
rods and wild dancing Incite juvenllle delinquency, but the two appear
closely correlated.
Now I'm reminded of another of the "Roughhousi- Gang"— Marlon
Brando To the sour agony of the immature, this one has grown up. Hla
motorcycle flick was about like the Uncaused Rebel, and did Mad
magazine tear Into that!
Rut he showed real promise in On the Waterfront and Gays and
Dolls. He is now a member of the top actor class.
Through this all, current youth Is still rallying to the same things:
the underdog, the desire to be different This drive Is literally as old aa
the hills
This was aptly pointed out by Joe Barham, editor of the Hacoa Hew*
In his column Sunday. He noted that the mothers now scolding their
children for worshiping Elvis, were the name ones fainting for Rudolph
Valentino, or later, Frank Sinatra.
This same trend was shown In the recent campus poll showing
Eisenhower preferred by the Interviewed students. I interperpret this
as just another show of youthful defiance in selecting something dif
ferent.
Because of the unsolved Republican farm mess, the unsettled foreign
and especially Suez blunders, the Elsenhower health Nixon aspiration
issue, Georgia will again vote solidly for the Democratic slate In
November Have no fear, the day Georgia goes Republican, well. “That’ll
be the day! ”
Another conclusion: Elvis and his lot will be popping up eons from
now, beloved by the teen-agers.
On these two I bet my season basketball pass.
PS.—After this I may be censored from writing at all. Nobody
but a Willard would try something like that. But there's a few Willards
around here.
