3 2 CAMPUS COMMENT October 14, 1949 GROWNG PANS Tnle has proven that results are the work of team sprt and cooperaton wth the approval of the majorty. Anytme that one group of ndvduals feel that they are above the desres and wshes of ther larger group, the end s not worthy of the means. There once was a man called Machavell who has a theory of poltcal scence that brooked no nterference, but that day s long past. Whenever any queston of class busness or polcy conles up that requres the cooperaton of the whole class, the whole class should have a chance to voce ts approval or dsapproval. The recent fasco of men's ntaton proves the pont very well. t dd not have the support of the men n the sophomore class, therefore, t petered out. Maybe next year Brdgewater wll open as a college mnded group of students, and not just post-graduate hgh school. WELL! CHLDREN! To the freshmen, the actons of the upperclassmen are to be admred and mtated. Bg ssters set the example for lttle ssters, the women set the standards for the men, and so t goes. Throwng water from one table to another va a spoon handle s one sure way of fornlng unfrendly relatonshps wth your classlllates and dormtory councl. Nne tmes out of ten that water does not ht the person for whom t was ntended, but the grl n between who s dressed for a date at sx-thrty, or the watress who s blnded whle carryng a heavy tray of food to YOU. Hssng to call attenton to the fact that an ndvdual or a table s leavng the hall before chmes s not the best way of reprnlandug. The offcers of dormtory councl are not blnd, but can see qute readly wthout the ad of a dozen or more hsses. Sometmes there s an underlyng reason for leavng early, such as llness or work. Many tmes, however, the students are n too much of a hurry to wat for chmes or for ther table-mates to fnsh dessert. Moreover;, t s a method for the show-off to say, "Look what 'm gettng away wth." N a one s gettng away wth anythng. The "arnl of the law" wll always catch up wth you. Crme does not pay. CampUA- Comment State Teachers College, Brdgewater, Massachusetts FOR OCTOBER 14, 1949 Exec.

Congratulatons, Mare Mare Marr was a vocalst wth Edde Ladd's band at Fcldston durng her vacaton. Many B.T.C. students went to see her. Woodman, Spare That Tree Wareham was fortunate to have Chet Smolsk for the summer. Chet chopped trees and cleared brush mostly poson sumac. (Freshmen, f you don't know what that s, go on a feld trp mmedately and gather a few specmens). Chet's favorte ht today s Vaughn Monroe's "vy." Oh, Those Dshpan Hands Paul -aman left Wareham to go to work at the swanky Wanno Club at Wanno. Hs poston there was of great mportance, so mportant that Paul wants the sophomore Math-Scence majors to formulate paper pots and pans for modern ktchen use. Vote Democratc n 1950 so that the state can approprate funds for a new research lab at B.T.C. for Paul's beneft. A Good Tme Had By All B.T.C. was well represented at Hyanns as well as other Cape resorts. Workng as watresses were Janet Dunwoode, Terry Corcoran, Fath Dudgeon, and Mary Oakley.

George Pappas related to the boys n the prnt shop that before he acqured a dollar and persuaded hmself to get a harcut, he was known as "curly." Wonder what the outcome wll be when he shaves?

CAlvfPUS CO\'1~fENT SEPT. LETTERS To the edtor: The lack of male voces durng the sngng of the "Alma J\'later" at the cap and gown chapel s a condton that should not go unnotced. There may be many reasons why the men do not know the words to our college song but one reason can be elmnated by prntng the words n the college paper. t would be a good dea f evervone n the college that does not kno~v the words, would clp out the copy that follows and keep t wth them for use.

The general-charmanshp of Open House weekend falls to Paulne as presdent of dormtory councl.

Sute 237 at Tllnghast whch Paulne shares wth Dot Petre and Noreen Dunn abounds wth good fellowshp. A Versatle Grl Her muscal and athletc careers were well founded at Farhaven Hgl1 School. The glee club, orchestra, band, feld hockey, swmmng, tenns, softball, and basketball actvtes at both Farhaven and Brdgewater would make any proof-reader's head spn. At Camp Howes, Paulne shattered all prevous records for the broadjump, runnng broadjump, shot put, and softball throw. These feats ndcate Olympc champ qualfcatons.

Fall Sports Fall sports are now n full swng. Those offered ths eght are feld hockey, tenns, horseback rdng, archery, horseshoes, hkng, and bkng. Ths vared program should enable everyone to fnd a sport suted to them. W.A.A. s lookng fonvard to a large representaton from every class!! Conference To Be Held The annual W.A.A. Conference wll be held at Framngham on November fourth and ffth. Mss Decker, Mss Caldwell, and two members of the board wll attend. Mss Decker Drects Physcal Examnatons B.T.Co's famed "basc bascs" physcal examnaton, under the capable leadershp of Mss Los L. Decker, was held n the gymnasum on September ffteenth and sxteenth.

Many of the upperclassmen gave freely of ther tme n assstng Mss Decker on. the Monday and Tuesday precedng the exams.

Fun, rousng cheers, crsp fall ar all combne to open the W.A.A. season. Only one thng s lackng, the freshmen; where are they? n ndvdual sports such as tenns and archery the lsts of freshman women are long and the courts and targets are crowded. Bkng and hkng ths semester are hgh on the lsts of all Frosh. But what about the team sports, or should we say, sport? Feld Hockey The only team sport offered n the fall s feld hockey. Snce t s an excellent game wth two of the best nstructors on campus, t should be well attended. Why aren't the new students partcpatng? Answers such as, "'ve never played before," don't make sense. Begnners nstructon s offered every Tuesday. "'d rather wat and take softball or basketball." Shouldn't W.A.A. do somethng about ths? Can't more than one team sport be offered every eght weeks? Softball could be played now. t's stll good weather. We should help the freshmen to partcpate n team sports rather than hnder them. Here on the feld wth a group playng together, each grl has a chance to make and keep her personalty and frends... W.A.A., don't let the team games downl Come out and look for yourselves, and see that somethng else s needed... Freshmen vs Cheerleadng Furous Freshmen!!! want to know why they were not allowed out for cheerleadng. n 1948, Frosh were accepted and before that year, too. We agree, only eght grls tred out. f the upperclassmen haven't any B.T.C. sprt, why not let the freshmen have a chance??? 1--; ~~"E~'~-; n~~'-'l f Brdgewater Delcatessen 1 j s. S. Perce Co.!

Captan Joe Kudera has already organzed an nformal practce for those who are nterested. ntramural Football The Rockets pled over the Packers to the tune of 24-0 n the openng ntramural football game played on lower campus, October ffth. Sparked by Warren Thuotte, \Vll Ford, and \Valt Creedon, the Rockets had lttle trouble n makng four touchdowns va sustaned drves. On the defense, Doug Barrows and Mdge Megas led the play. Sam Gomes, Jm Topham, and Bll \Vhalen led the Packer attack, but ther work was of no aval aganst the Rocket's defense. More Partcpaton Urged For ntramural Football A season of good fun s n store for everyone who goes out for football. Warren Thuotte s n charge and has games scheduled every Monday and V ednesday for four teams, each comprsed of sx men. At ths wrtng, eght games have been scheduled, but only one game has been played, and even then, one of the referees had to play to make up a full team. There were at least twenty-four names Oon the sgn-up slp, but only eleven men have showed up for the games. The men of the college are always cryng about the lack of sports. Yet, when gven the chance to partcpate, they seem to dsappear. The general consensus, therefore, s that ntramural sports are not wanted. When basketball season rolls around, don't bother sgnng up. Someone wll be saved the trouble of arrangng dates, makng teams, and arrangng for playng facltes. fllu '---nll-nrf-h"-"1 DORR'S PRNT SHOPj =1 43 Central Square = Offcal Prnters of "Campus Comment" SCHOOL SUPPLES Rng Bnders Tempera Colors Zpper Notebooks ndex Cards Fllers Erasers Art Paper nk j l Typewrter Rbbons l! ~ Blotters (10 shades) 1!
