THE THRESHES
CdifoiiajtoM
Once again the age old controversy of the Student Council
pops up among the students. Each time something like this
happens, it is wondered why and apparently the reason is never
rightfully understood or perhaps not corrected.
The Student Council has its constitution upon which it 1b
based and governed, but there are many students upon the
campus that have not taken the time or showed enough interest
to read it. Such students should not even be considered in any
controversial matters concerned with the Council.
The Student Council is not always right nor is it completely
wrong. The representatives supposedly represent a cross sec-
tion of the student body and present their views. It is granted
that not all members are doing their job well or completely,
however, they have not received full cooperation from the
student body.
The Student Council is the student governing body—let's
support it, iron out any and all difficulties. All students are
invited to attend the meetings and present their ideas.

Carolyn's assignment for the
week was to cover the unveiling of
Dr. Lovett's portrait Sunday. On
Sunday, however, Carolyn, Art, Mil-
dred, and Bob were conspicious by
their absence from said ceremony.
Instead, rumor has it that they
were engaged in scientific study,
coming to the following conclu-
sions: (1) candidates for the Polar
Bear Club include Mildred and Bob,
(2)- Carolyn and Art were surprised
on the golf course, (3) Messrs.
Kotch and Maurice are superb, di-
vine wonderful, etc. etc. dancers,
and (4) it is an elusive picture.
Barnes had his troubles deciding
which of his many women to invite
to the formal Saturday. Maybe her
hubby is a big, brawny, brute, but
he eventually concluded it the better
part of valor not to take the mar-
ried one.
Flagg sings naughty French
songs around the office . . . but no-
body listens.
Words around the printing office
have it that the COUGAR, H. U.
publication of dubious parentage,
is hopeful that the THRESHER
will read one of its columns this
week. But they are decidedly out
of luck. We won't. Further words
say said column concerns the field
day and trac practice our gridirjn
greats had with their inept football
squad.
And then we have adorning our
campus—the "Lover-Man" Lanza
and "Houston Has No Beautiful
Women" Nail. Don't be afraid of
the Houston women boys—they're
not too strong. Dean Weeke must
have been under that impression
last week-end—or maybe the 14 to
1 odds were too much for him. Not
for Jerry Dobleman though. Just
ask Sara Nabors what greeted her
when she- woke up Sunday down at
New Braunfels.
