Pharmacists Kicking in For New Shirt
“Pennies will do a new shirt for Hugh” is the slogan for the latest crusade being staged by the School of Pharmacy staff.
The Hugh in the slogan is Hugh Dement, who works in the stock room there, and the members of the pharmacy staff are collecting pennies to buy him a new shirt to replace the old one he has persisted in wearing day in and day out.
“It all started as a joke,” said Rose Walton, School of Pharmacy secretary and chairman of the new shirt drive.
“We got tired of seeing Hugh wearing the same old seersucker shirt every time we visited the stock room,” Miss Walton said, “so we decided to chip in and buy him a new one. He claims he's too poor to buy one himself.”
A pharmaceutical beaker with the slogan posted beside it has been placed on the counter in the pharmacy department to receive donations.
“We’ve already collected $2,” Miss Walton said, “but more is needed to buy Hugh a nice shirt.”
and Friday to fill the large number of vacancies left by graduates.
• Three to five-minute talks will be given on the speaker’s choice of subject between noon and 5 p.m. in 201 Speech B.
“The tryouts are not necessarily ones of elimination but are those of a qualifying nature,” Dr. Alan Nichols, professor of speech and head debate coach, said.
Eliminations “From them we are able to determine the amount of polishing the debate squad will need. Eliminations later are usually painless.” he added.
Anyone interested in debating or public speaking may try7 out, Dr. Nichols said,
The debating squad consists of a varsity, a junior varsity, and a-freshman squad, all of which take an active part in the debating contests.
Last year, in 145 contests, SC won 97, a figure considered phenomenal in the field of debate.

. . . scores cynicism
Student Leaders conference here this weekend.
Presenting a four-point plan for curing some of the ills of student body government, Dean Hyink stressed the university’s need for “partnership and responsibility” on the student level to keep SC moving ahead.

Band to Play; Trojans to Eat
Tommy Walker and the Trojan band will be out Friday night to lead a short parade and to play at the football rally held in conjunction with the ninth annual Chi Phi Watermelon feed.
Before the Chi Phis give away 4000 pounds of watermelon, the band and Al Gallion’s yell leaders will hold a yellfest in front of the fraternity house, 720 West 28th street.

to take the initiative in solving their problems,” he said.
Dean Hyink praised the spirit of the freshman class as being youthful and enthusiastic—“a better approach than that taken by some of our senior cynics.”
The belief in personal worth and appreciation of the individual are established traditions at Troy, he said. “We must personalize education for students and understand their individual needs,” he continued.
Participation
“With the tradition of student government established, there should be unlimited opportunity on campus for all students—organized and unorganized alike—to participate,” he said. “Student leaders should exploit the talents of all Trojans in school projects.
“At SC there is individual freedom of thinking, writing, and speaking. But let’s not abuse it,” he said. “Let’s criticize constructively, as we are doing here at Idyllwild.”
In a democratic campus system, the student has certain responsibilities which he must accept, he said.
Voting Record
“Look at the pitiful voting record of students in campus elections. How can they say they want more responsibility when they don't use the responsibility which has already been given them,” he said.
