KNOW THE FEELING? Our harried iriend in the above picture has been searching for a seat since noon. Looking at his watch, he finds it is now 6 p.m. and time for dinner. Ice has formed on the surface of his soup; the milk has curdled; and his cake is as stale as last week's news. The reason? Those leeches on the body politic—Student Union Squatters.

It is reported that Miss Lee is r.ow doing intensive research on the subject of how to judge bearded beauty contests.
According to Chick Holmes chairman of the affair, a .few of the engineers participating in last year’s Engmeering week became so attached to their beards that they didn’t shave for several weeks after the judging.

Last year Dr. Bogardus created the graduate-student council to counteract the lack of contact between students and to help graduate students acquire a feeling that they belong to SC. Each school or department elects one representative to the council.	,
