If-
Of late the editorial department of the
Brand has received several directed and
indireoted criticisms from readers. It
might be well noted that with three ex-
ceptions all of those criticisms have been
verbal and many at inopportune times.
Don't be misled. We do want to hear
your feelings about our paper and its poli-
cies. But it would be much easier if tnose
who had comments whether criticisms or
otherwise would submit letters to the
editor rather than stopping a member of
the editorial department and saying "Your
editorial was lousy!"
The three exceptions to the "comment-
ing -.on - the - Brand - adversely - practice"
were through' letters to the editor. Two
of these letters were printed. The third
although stressing a valid point and very
well was not printed because it was not
signed (rather it was signed "Lunch").
Students have shown their disapproval
of the editorials ads (which are in no way
indicative of personal consent or support)
coverage and of the Brand policy concern-
ing vote totals (something gained last year
through hard work and voter support).
May we encourage readers both students
and instructors to submit letters to the
editor signed. In special circumstances we
may publish the letter anonymously if re-
quested. Letters will be edited for length
and for possibilities of libel.
A Hmt'Wsekly college newspaper published according to advance tcheduta every Friday
and Tuesday. Opinions expressed in The Brand are those of the Editor or of rh writer
and not necessarily those of the University administration.

Now that we have considered all of the
benefits of the Daylight Saving Time let us
consider the liabilities.
It's Friday evening July something;
Walt Disney's super colossal triple feature
is playing at the local drive-in movie. The
kids are screaming the late late show isn't
over yet and it won't be dark for another
hour or two. Do we listen to the kids
scream and cry for the next year and a half
that "Mommy and Daddy don't even love
us enough to see Bambi " or do we let them
stay up until 4 a. m. to sleep through the
movie?
We've just told the freshmen ladies that
they will turn into pumpkins at exactly
one minute after 10 p. m. The sun will go
down at approximately 10:02 p. m. There
will be no public showings of affection on
campus. The rest you can figure out for
yourself.
During the summer parking causes sun-
burn. We've been invited to an afternoon tea.
We ran out of conversation at 3 p. m.; we
ran out of tea and cookies at 4 p. m.; the
hostess plans dinner for half an hour after
sundown and the afternoon still has five
hours to go.
The powers that be could give us back
ten hours of sleep Oct. 27 and we still
wouldn't make up for that one hour we
lost in April that has upset our schedule
for the past six months.
Golfers (this is directed to you because
it is primarily for your benefit we have
DST) you took the afternoon off work to
play or you decided 'to play 18 holes -after
work. You covered the entire course after
a hard day at the office. You fought traf-
fic to get home. Your wife has just men-
tioned that dinner will be delayed. The
sun has hours yet to brighten your day. She
mentions the lawn needs mowing. Don't
come to us for sympathy Mac; you asked
for it
We hesitate to mention it but we won-
der if H-SU has considered putting the
girls on DST and leaving the men on
regular time?
Arizona and Hawaii are two of the fast-
est growing states in the Union. Arizona
and Hawaii do not go on Daylight Saving
Time. Could there be some connection?
