Letter
To The Students
To new students at Southwest cm:. A
It is indeed a pleasure for me 1<>
.welcome you to Souitliwcsle.rn, foi
I am confident that no matter what
course in life you choose you will
fi'i-d here, both the opportunity and
the challenge to prepare yourself
for the fullest life. Ours is an age
ot rapidly increasing complexity,
and the need for higher education
in meet its demands has never
been greater.
At Southwestern you will find an
abundance cf opportunities to par-
ticipate in activities which will sup-
plement your academic program-
such as clubs and societies, and
special lectures and seminars; or
yen might like to share a talent
through one of the dramatic or mu-
sic groups, or one of the publica-
tion's. The program of thee Union
and the social activities of many or-
ganizations are unlimited chances
for you to contribute to the social
life at S.U. And student, govern-
ment affords you an opportunity to
develop qualities of a responsible
citizen.-
Southwestern- is fraught with op-
portunities which are. in themselves
a challenge to you to leave here
with the rich' St possible experience.
As it can be said for so much , of
life: you will get out of Southwest-
ern what ycu put into it.
The opportunity is yours.
Best Wishes,

Letter
To The Editor
There are things of the past that
we should cherish and defend. How-
ever, I fail to comprehend or under-
stand! the need for the freshmen class
to buy or rather furnish 25 (this is
a rough guess as no one in this high-
ly mechanized organization, which is
coordinated by its trained leadership,
stems to know) lettermen a blow out.
If this is a time-honored tradition,
then i't should be broken. Heaven
knows that for many of the fresh-
men this year, as well as previous
years, a dollar is something to use
wisely - not for the obese pleasure
of stuffing the stomachs of 25 fellows
who try to ram something down your
throat by saying “Buy or die!”
This is not a big thing, but there
is certainly a principle involved
here; one that needs looking at.
Much good tradition has died1 at
Southwestern, so I’ve been told. May-
dc the bad. win roiiow.

STOCK
by GARRY LEAVELL
As I have circulated around cam-
pus this week, the question most of-
ten asked me has been, “Is there
anything to do in Georgetown?”
The answer most certainly is ye6.
A perennial favorite for entertain-
ment is the Palace. You have no
doubt heard of the typical small
town theater which is small, stuffy,
cramped and dirty. This is not the
Palace. It is small, stuffy, cramped
and clean. Nevertheless it is an ex-
cellent place to take a date because
of the proximity of the seating ar-
rangement. Evert shy freshmen can-
not get away. Let me add that the
Tom Mix movie has just left, but if
you hurry you can still catch “The
Keystone Cops Meet Shirley Tem-
ple and Her Daddy the Wolfman.”
It’s a real winner.
Then of course there is always
The Hill. The path from L. K. to
there to San Gabriel Park to L: K.
is fast becoming famous in its own
right. These freshmen who are
afraid! of getting lost in the depths

you’re a girl). Just get in the ruts
in toe road, and the car will find
its own way back.
And there is that place that every
body talks so much about but few
freshmen have seen. The Booties.
New students seem to treat them
with the same air of mystery as a
Shangri-La or Cibola. One freshman
boy thinks the Booties are in the
park. There was a girl who thought
that the drain pipe in the AD build-
ing was first Boofie. And one will
swear that she has all of them in
her bathroom in L. K., complete
wilth crickets and other assorted
wildlife (boys, etc.).
These are the obvious places. But
there is ample entertainment avail-
able right oh the campus if one
only knows where to look. As I have
already discovered, freshmen girls
love sitting around toe “beautiful”
fountain. To be comfortable and
dry, I recommend up-Wind and
dbwn-crickettt.
Of course, the crickets are back
this year. I have heard countless
girls say what fun - it is to lie in
bed and listen to the .crickets chirp,
or whatever It is that they do.
Somehow I got the idea they were
kidding.
There are many fun gomes that
can be played so that the spirit of
competition prevails. Shooting out
spotlights and shooting at other
things is a risky sport but very re*
warding.
Putting stop suds in the fountain
is fast becoming old hat; but climb-
ing tire tower in the chapel at mid-
night is still a fresh form of recrea-
tion. However it must be pointed
out that the administration frowns
cn these and other such activities,
and they are ill advised at best.
But toe above are childish and
not in keeping with the school poli-
cies. And it is not always possible
to get to town or toe Booties. Let
me recommend one thing that is
easily available to dll students sev-1
eral times a day. It has a certain,'
aesthetic value and can be most!
rewarding. Sit (preferably withj
someone about whom you really,
care) just in front of toe commons j
where the old door used to be. With-
out making a sound, gaze out over -
the beautiful trees, toe green grass, j
tire clear sky. And then, d you iis- ;
ten veiy carefully, you can hear,
toe stomachs growling.
