Many people are in doubt as to the policy of the
Brand concerning letters to the editor. We appreciate
your letters and hope to receive many during the months
ahead. The only requirement is that they be -signed.
Letters should have some constructive objective not just
mere complaints or personal grudges.
We encourage our readers to write us letters. They
may be on any subject critical or in praise serious or
satirical. We must for reasons of good taste and limita-
tions of space reserve the right to choose which letters
we will print or refuse. However we assure you that
any honest sincere letter will not be refused serious and
objective consideration.
.Letters will not be refused simply because the writer's
views are not the same as those of the Brand staff. The
prime consideration is whether the subject matter is of
interest to the majority of our student readers and to
those readers who are on the circulation list.

Good relations among faculty and students is a thing
that makes for more enjoyable university life and is
something that should be cultivated by students and
faculty alike.
The exceptional attendance of students at the Faculty-
Student reception last Tuesday was evidence of the in-
terest of many students concerning good relations.
Faculty members enjoy talking to students and are
usually more than happy to give assistance or discuss
problems of the student pertaining to their courses.

In many ways a college education is a monetary
investment as well as an investment in time. '
A college or university education used to be consider-
ed a luxury. Nowadays however our society and civiliza-
tion demands more and more training for different oc-
cupations. A college education is becoming a necessity of
one is to make what we now consider a decent living.
As we see then a college education is an investment
of money so that one can make more money. In you as a
student many people have invested money to get you
through school. If you are a veteran or the child of one
who died in service and so qualify for government aid the
people of the United States are paying for you. But most
likely your parents are paying for you.
Many people have invested in you and your sake and
for the -sake of your country which needs more and more
trained people. And if you do not keep up your studies
you are a poor investment.

Well big team we have one
week down and thirty-five to go!
I must say this has been one great
big hectic hundred and fifty-eight
hours. I guess the week just
started off bad it sppm? thnt mv
first problem came when I forgot
to register cut tnen that problem
was over in about seven hours T
registered from 9 p. m. until 4
a. m. It seems that's the lousy
time I have to register every
year. Oh well there are advanta-
ages to everything this way I
don't have to bother with a sched
ule I just take what's left!
And then there's always that
old problem of sitting in class
seven weeks before you realize
you're in Grin 113 not Snirk 214!
Anyway by this time it doesn't
really matter what class you go
to you've already failed three
tests and you have four to make
up!
If anyone over this vast forty
acres has suddenly found himself
in the wrong chemistry lab when
he actually belongs in Organic
chemistry lab my advice to him
is DROP! I don't mean that it's
a bad lab (please understand this
Dr. Watts)! it's just that there's
a wild wicked woman in that
lab. The instructions of the lab
instructor was: "If anything
catches fire put it in the hood
until the flame goes out!" This
little woman stayed in that hood
three hours. By the time the
semester is over they will prob-
ably have her on an arson
charge!
If you think fire is bad that's
not the half she can sling a
mean beaker of acid. When she
went to lab she was wearing a
full skirt toy the time the lab
was over she was wearing a
sheath. Not to mention the man
on her right she anointed his
