George in Doghouse Again, Languishes at Veterinarian's
“I'm a d'ing duck at SC!” These words were uttered by George Tirebiter. faithful and unrewarded rooter of SC and all things SC. There isn’t a more unhappy dog in the country than this w oebegone canine.
This time, after another of his innumerable removals from the campus, he is wasting away at a local veterinarian's where he was taken from his familiar surroundings on Bovard field.
Because cf the unrelenting torments and taunts of juvenile vandals, and his occasional orea.k for freedom through a door whose lock had been tampered with. George finds himself almost (om-pletely shut off from the world In which he played his small part to gallantly.
In an interview with him ves-
terday at his new place of confinement he poured forth a tale of woe. He told of his pitiful situation in the “pen” on Bovard field.
“When I voiced my righteous indignation of my treatment, I was told to pipe down because I was disturbing night classes. Imagine!’’ he said, wiping his eyes with the sleeve of his threadbare smoking jacket with a block SC on the breast pocket.
When asked what his future holds for him he said that he really doesn't know what will become of him. “And I care less,’’ he added dejectedly.
“I'm safe here, but far from happy,” he said, eyeing a passing

“I will attempt to trace the history of the resolution, student reaction to it, the administration’s stand, and the final compromise.”
There will be 55 representatives of various colleges at the forum. Miss Louin is one of three chosen to speak. A junior, she is a political science major.

Twelve questions have been submitted to Professor Willett, and ne has agreed to consider two of them and one of his own with the committee.
On the political front. Election Commissioner Bob McGurty submitted several recommendatons concerning procedure for Friday's nominations assembly and voting methods.
McGurty ran afoul Bob Padgett, presidential candidate, when he sought to limit the Fnday speeches to five minutes. Padgett held out for and received seven minutes.

Fiery pre-election wrangling yesterday presaged a hot time in the old School of Law today when the university's legal minds troop to the polls to choose their Bar association officers for next year.
Polls will be open in the Law building lobby from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Biggest issue in the contest is between Presidential Candidates Horace Comstock and George Grover. Other candidates are Sevmour Bricker and Howard Clayton, vice-president; La Villa , Adamson and Juanita Veron. secretary-treasurer; 1 and Edwin Beach, public relations officer.
In the .heated discussion which took place on the steps of the School of Law yesterday afternoon, : crages were hurled that Grover, in- . dependent candidate, was affiliated with the Lawyer's Guild, and that this professional organization was ! “tainted with Communists.”
An unidentified student said that ■ Grover and Comstock are both 1
pretty good” men. but. he asked 1
the rhetorical question. “Would you j rather have a fraternity backed man or a Lawyer's Guild backed man?” | Asked by another student wheth- j er he was certain that Grover was backed by the Lawyer’s Guild, he replied. “The Lawyer’s Guild IS backing Grover.”
Grover said he belonged to the Lawyer's Guild. Referring to the j charges of Communist influence in that organization, he said. “I wouldn’t belong if I believed that.” 1 He said that it was a “red herring” charge.
Grover's platform is based on opposition to the system of pre-elec- : tion hand-picking of candidates by ' the coalition of legal fraternities.
“None of us is put up or con- j trolled by any special group; we prefer to believe that the students should choose their own officers, | and on the basis of individual qualifications.” the platform stated.
Comstock could not be reached for comment.
The motion was defeated when the Senate ruled that it would b# an affront to McGurty’s ability, ft not his honesty, to appoint another commissioner at this time.
It has been suggested that since McGurty has three fraternity brothers running m the race he might avoid post-election debate if any of the procedure is questioned.
NSA OBSERVERS OK’D
Padgett scored a victory when the Senate unanimously approved hi* motion to send five student representatives to the next national NSA convention as official observers. Davis paved the way when he said
At the last Senate meeting, Padgett was twice defeated when he introduced the measure.
Bill Bretz, chairman of the rules committee, declared he was in favor of the plan, but suggested that President Fagg appoint the delegates. Padgett objected by saying, “This is the student senate and the NSA is a student function.”
Seniors Move to Arouse Prom Interest
Action to dispel apathy toward the senior prom got under way le-cently when Dave Saunders, senior class president, delegated several representatives to speak before various organizations in an attempt to arouse interest in the affair.
Grafton Tanquary. AMS president. will talk to AMS, and Johnny Davis, ASSC president, is to address the Sigma Phi Epsilon and Alpha Kappa Psi fraternities.
Ed Vierheilig, president of Delta Chi, will address his own organization, and Betty Jo Weber, Tri Delt, has promised to talk to her sorority.
William Gray, independent, will ask for Independent council support; Trovet president Frank O-Sullivan has promised full backing by his organization; and Dave Evans, YMCA president, offered to underwrite the prom by dedicating the Y’s May 13 dance to the senior class.
Guthrie Miller, who obtained a
list of 228 students pledging their support to the prom, maintained yesterday that his list is composed of all seniors, and that they were “definitely interested” in the prom.
“The 228 signatures that I submitted on my petition are all seniors interested in having a senior prom and would attend if possible. Before giving the petition to anyone I always asked if they were seniors, and the petition reads ‘We as seniors . . ”
“Give me a week and 200 cou-
pons.” Miller added, “and if there are not enough pledges by the end of that time. I will consider myself licked—not before.”
Miller now has on hand at the Student Union bookstore about 2ttU coupons which he typed last night. Seniors wanting to pledge their support may obtain a blank from any one of the clerks on duty, he said.
Saunders was encouraged with results so far, saying that “things are definitely picking up.” He now
has about 85 promises to buy bids and said that Johnny Davis has others.
’But,” he warned, “we need an absolute minimum of 300 pledges before we can start making any plans for the dance. Having even 300 names is hardly enough, because that does not mean that 300 bids will be sold.’’
Cost of the bids will be between S3 and $4 apiece and will admit two persons. If enough names come in, the dance will be held June 11.
