THE FIFTH ICE AGE long, long ago (almost two years) a disturbance was created that contributed to this present state of extreme self pride invested in some members of this community. This factor was brought about by a ner appearance in the structure of society. This new person- ality gained ranit very quickly, and before the year closed, had a position of extreme authority in the sorority. With the passing of a year, said leader brought on a score of nerl and radical concepts; these being based upon a program of complete repentance from previous activities indulged in by a large percentage of the group. (These including also the leader in her own person.) After com- plete reformation, this group, finding it harder to mix with the opposite sex, resorted to all feminine frivolities and internal alliances. Iaow, just prior to this writing, the internal alliances have become such a vital and important feature in their present status, that a reactionary movement by the male faction is hoped to be ignitedby this essay. Not only is the above hoped for, bujti a complete break down of the social group as it now stands is also wished. It is my expressed opinion that, as long as these "Cliques" remain in existance, our educational institution's social activities will deteriorate to complete feudalism, and some of the most happy experiences of the involved person's lives will be spoiled. - TLeith Cunningham RULES TO F0L10. ON DATES (As setup by ;-i+E. Con. girles ) 1. ahen the sucker picks you up, upon entering the car, hit the farthest ground av'ay from him. If he says anything about this, say that it's stuffy and you would like some fresh air. 2. When at the dance, go fr•atro#ize with all your female buddies; after all, what did you come to the dance for? 3. At the end of each record, back away from him; and, NEVER hold hands with him -- -after all, the slob might figure he rates. 4. Never accept an invitation less than a week in advance. 5. If he takes you to a show, make sure it's the most expensive and interesting to,you - -- even if he doesn't care for it. FEVER hold hands with him for the same reason mentioned in rule three. 6. For all dates --- when he guts you home,, play a game; the girl each week, with the least time from the time the engine stops to the time the house door closes wins t 7.- no mater what the date, or where you go, make sure he spends money, that you see all your buddies, and make sure mo show of affe- ction is made at any time - -- after all, the slob might think he rates. 8. And above all, never be sincere. The Clique The clique, as we know it, has no officers as such, and no apparent function; but, it does have a leader, and likewise obvious activities. T he leader and follow ers have formed a strict policy; — "'le Fs be sweet.. ' --- too much sw eeteni.ng tends to revert to bitterness. Now that I have come thus far; I consider it necessary to touch upon its activities. If they can 1.3 considered activites.. The bus trips on which the c?i.que combines spirits, voices, and childish facetiousness have. I feel promoted: the bitter feelings previously mentioned. If said events were ferr•er and farther betw een, thy could be readily accepted :ry the school as a w hole. Group spirt is fine thing, w hen it serves a useful purpose. But w hen such escapades occur daily - even h' urly w ith no sign of let t- ing up, something should be done. It is -got my place to say w he or how anything can be done, as I am an (.u 1 ler, but steps S ir•ULD be taken by you the reader, and I hope the now: enlightened, tov either liquidate the clique or change the principals on which the organization is based. Ge rld Ihckwell The world is full of lonely people, because they build walls instead of bridges. The stories that the world calls immortal, are stories that show the world its own shame. If this be what I am, Let no man laud me. For we are all mere specks Relative to the vastness w hich surrounds us. Hungar, love, and fear are the strongest impulses in human beings.
