BORDEN
Freshmen gripe today because
they have to wear dinky blue caps,
and wail when they are oeclared
fit for ROTC, but it's a lucky thing
for them this is 1941 instead of 1919
when University traditions reduced
the greenies to the lowest rank.
Most of us here today know very
little about some of the traditions
which formerly dominated the campus and made merry with the
average freshman's life. Many of
practices have passed
the old-tiway, while others crop up at some
time of the year. However, tradi
tions of any type tend to aici the
student's appreciation of college especially when it's all over.
Prior to 1919 it was customary to
clip the hair of incoming freshmen.
The result was not only temporary
embarrassment to the frosh, but a
permanent record in the school
yearbook. As today, pictures of fraternities and classes were made in
October, and the yearly spring edition of the yearbook looked more
like a catalogue of correctional
inmates than a book of
college students.
Growing protests emerged with
the conviction that this "barbarous"
custom should be supplanted by
one which would keep the freshThe debating team met the team

but the library position when he
took over the presidency. He also
could not keep the meal job at the
restaurant which had paid for his

meals.
STANDING DROPS
The position cut deeply into his
University standing too. he declared.
During his first three years in pre-mwhile he was working several
hours a day Allen made a 2.2 standing. The first semester in the presidency he made a 1.6 and says he'll
"be fortunate to pass at all this semester."
When you're president of the student body, he said, everyone feels
that your time is also their time,
and you have to spend hours running trivial errands that should be

ed

done by other officers and committee chairmen.
In addition to being on several important committees
he
said, the president has to serve as
a goad to almost every committee
chairman. Letters, conferences, telephone calls and a hundred other
little details all take up more time,
he declared.
PROBLEMS MULTIPLY
"Take this for instance," he explained. "Sometimes I'll go ask some
faculty member about a problem,
and before I can leave he has
brought up two or three more.
"Now, it's not that I don't like
the work, but it takes up a lot of
time that could be spent otherwise.
"It would be a good job if you
didn't have to go to school on the
side."
ALLEN CRACKS DOWN
Most people on the campus were
surprised when the news was out
that Allen had been elected president of the student body. But as
scon as he was in the chair things
began to snap.
For Allen it was another job, and
he began putting out just like the
summer when he worked twelve
hours a day in front of a bake oven
as a journeyman baker all the time
he was going to summer school and
making straight A's on the maximum number of hours allowed.
Soon things began to move. The
new president hounded committee
chairmen until they called their
committees to meetings. He talked
with people and found out what
students wanted and then tried to
get some action on it. And for once,
the SGA turned up at the end of
the year with some Items in the
credit side of the ledger.
And Allen turned up with a 1.6 instead of a 2.2 and a minus figure on
the bank balance.

The most logical solution seems to be a salary
for the president. We don't see whv this has
Ikcii opjKised so much. Other campus positions
which carry heavy
v and much work
are paid, and no one objects to lhat. Many
schoeils have a salary for iheir student president,
with the result that higher class candidates can
tin for i lie job.
We realize, of course lhai a $30 appropriai ion
weiule! not fully pay a president for his time and
services, but it would Ik? just enough coupled
with ihe prestige and honor to make the presidency ihe most songhi-afie- r
position on the
campus.
It alvi would Ik- valuable in case ihe SGA
ever should gel a president not willing lo do
his part
the legislature would have someihing

We would like to see the new legislature pass
another bill similar lo lh.1t passed last veai.
