"A Funny Joe'
(A*i Editorial)
“Joe College” was on hand again at the game Saturday, In fact, several “Joe Colleges” were chi hand.
One erf Joe College’s most distinguishing traits is that he continues to find funny and to get a kick out of something that his associates on the university campus have long since ceased to find funny, and have actively condemned as dangerous and anti-social.
* Joe College still thinks card throwing is funny, even though at two successive games this year girls sitting in the coed rooting section have been injured more or less seriously by the stunt cards which Joe College hurls through the air with the greatest glee. One coed was knocked unconscious by Joe College Saturday.
Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm just old fashioned, but that sort of thing appeals to me as being ungentle-manly — in fact, distinctly caddish.
It wasn’t as though Joe College had anything to celebrate Saturday. Mario Chamlee did a magnificent job with the “Aima Mater,” but it’s hard to beiieve that Joe College, of all people, could be so moved by the artistry of a great singer. Granting this, Joe College’s feeling for the artistic is slightly incongruous with his generally boorish lack of consideration for the safety of others.
My personal sympathy is for Boo Myer. He feels responsible for the situation, but he has made every possible appeal that can be made to rational human beings. He has even tried to compromise with Joe College by offering him a chance to expend his zeal for throwing things at the final game when all the cards are to be torn to small pieces, and then, and only then, hurled into the air.
Of course, Joe College thinks it’s better to have his fun now. Little children are like that — they can’t wait for anything. —J.G.
W.B. Munro To Discuss Constitution
The history of Troy's growth from a small frame building with an enrollment of 50 students and a teaching staff of 9 members to an institution of 24 colleges and schools with 17,000 students and 700 faculty members will be recalled this morning when university officials, Mario Chamlee, Metropolitan opera star, and students commemorate the 57th year of the university's existence and the 150th anniversary of the framing of the Constitution of the United States, in the Founders’ day assembly this morning at 10:45 in Bovard auditorium.

White, executive from 1895 to 1899, would be able to participate in the ceremonies. Both are in states of ill-health.

Tuesday s Organ Program
Toccata in C major.....................Bach
The long single part flourish with which the Toccata opens is far more significant than the average contemporary writing of this type. We do little more than tolerate such flights today, but we can easily imagine that by their freedom and originality, and by their success in implying a fine harmonic background, the best of Bach’s examples were extremely popular when new. The pedal 30:0 ;s one or Lhe finest ever written—perhaps the finest. Andante from the Violin Concerto

Mendelssohn was himself an organ master, and wrote six sonatas for the organ, which, after Bach, are among the greatest works for the instrument. This andante from his single , Violin Concerto, has remained
