the Valkyries.
Phyllis Armstrong, chairman of
the rally, points out, "Well meet

accordingly."

Card Playing in Student Lounge

Control meeting held Thursday, October 13. Since the last publication of the Collegian in which card play­ing

the change, but the Board has been informed of a circulating petition, protesting the action.
"Any dissatisfaction on the part of the student body should be brought directly before the Board," de­clared
Dr. Ross. Restrictions of games to non-rush hours was suggested, but because they vary in length, a

like your cooperation at the school
crossings. For your safety and the
safety of the younger students, here
is a list of suggested things you can
do:
1. Go between the flags and not
around them.
2. There are lots of small chil­dren
crossing in the morning. Set
a good example for the younger chil­dren
by not taking short-cuts.
3. When the bus lets you off wait
until the bus goes before you cross.
Do not go around the bus.

by members who were Informed that
