BALLAD TO THE EXAM
(Upon being confronted with
the test)
Ah. haughty page of frightful
words
And questions bold and daring,
Seek not to trouble this poor soul
Who's far beyond the caring.
Letters to the Editor
To Whom It May Concern:
Onions to the over-all intramural program of this year. Student interest and participation
dropped to a new low because of
the apathetic attitude adopted by
the intramural program director
(or directors). It's actually pitiful
the way our representatives were
chosen for the extramural tournament this year. What has happened to the well-organized tournaments that once existed here at
St. Ambrose?
Again I say onions to the poorest intramural program this college has seen in many a year.

back you. Please try to back

Hi guys and gals,
What did I tell you? I said
I'd see you next week and here
I am looking out into your friendly, scowling, clean, dirty, whiskered, shaven, powdered, painted,
smiling, and blank faces from between the lines. But don't look
tdb hard to find me—I appreciate
your efforts but I don't like to see
you toil in vain . . . Speaking
of last week, there are a few sidelights to last week's column.
Lynn Marangon and Ed Faley
were shoveling snow at Marycrest (that's a laugh—HA) and
report that the Winter's gang has
been freed. That is all except
Jack Baker. He is being held for
further questioning at the request
of Carol Laws . . . Also F. E. McDonald, in connection with his investigation, has received threats
of being relieved of his suede
shoes if he doesn't accept a bribe
to lay off . . . For protection he
moved to the barracks . . . Note:
Enlistments in the Yiddish navy
are closed due to the recent scrap
drive . . .

The big news this week-end is the Fifth Annual Midlands
Conference Extra-mural Tourney that is being held here on
the St. Ambrose college campus, coming back here after an
absence of four years, for it was here that the first tourney
a play-off tonight will determine the champion who will re-
was originated. The basketball league ended last Tuesday and
present us in the Extra-murals. There were no leagues in
volley ball and bowling, so teams are being recruited to
represent us. The same holds true for ping pong singles and
doubles. We've never won the tourney and this year will be no
exception! You just can't throw together teams for the first
time and expect them to win, but I hope I'm wrong and our
boys come through.

SLEEP-OX-IT
You know the Chicago Tribune
carried a pretty good cartoon last
Monday illustrating the love of
an Irishman for Ireland as in contrast to the love of an ashamed
American for his country. I
think it conveyed its point
very well. All you have to do is
read about the corruption in our
government and note the apparent
indifference of some people
towards this problem to understand what I am writing.
Yet, this can very well be applied to our own school here at
Ambrose. At the present time,
cut and dry as shows and TV are.
Instead, they are outlets for a person to let his personality and cooperative spirit to manifest themselves. This is important for school
spirit or morale.
Morale may be considered
largely pyschological in view of
the fact that it is definitely influenced by popular opinion. It is1
necessary for the individual to desire that his efforts be worthwhile and that there is an appreciation for the service he renders,
without which it is very difficult
to maintain the cohesion and unity of purpose necessary for sue-
