Conf Usi On Mak Es For Misunderstandings

Too often mosunderstondinqs arise between s1uder1ts and administration regarding what students con and can ' t do. Recently this was exemplified In the hemming ond hawing over whether several abstract paintings of nudes, oointed by o student could bed, splayed in the sub.

There seemed to be two issues involved the displaying of nude paintings and the absence of clearly defi,.,ed regulatioM or The seot of authority for defining them. Tt,e first was se t tled, a l though not without some disagreement ond eml:xirrossment The lost is still fuzzy for mony of us Wos ther~ or was there not such a ruling?

Due to the student's frequent lock of tnformotion regarding schoo l pol icy or his misunderstanding of 11, discon1en1 has developed This is unforlunote os i I lends to give both odmi nisirorion and s1udenrs o disodvontogoous image. Blome i s placed wi I ly ni lly-ond often unfoirly simply because no one knows quite where to t\Jrn for clarification. Resentments flourish, often needlessly

Perhaps this slluatton can be improved, perhaps not, but in any event a ridiculous precedent hos been banished ond the future decision of what wi II be displayed in the sub wi 11 rest with the srudenr representatives, o responsibility along with on opportunity to demonstrate the maturity the student body often fee ls it is nor credited with having.

WHAT I S AH AMERICAN?

He yells for the government to bolorn:e the budget and then tokes the lost dime he hos to make the down payment on a ca r.

He wh i ps the enemy ond then gives 'em the shirr off his bock

1-'e yel l s for sp,.--ed lows that will stop fosr driving ond then won ' t buy o cor if it con'! go 100 miles on hour.

He knows the line -up of every baseball teem rn the American and Notional leagues and doesn' I know half the words in "The Star Spong led Bonner. "

He'll spend half o day looking for vitamin pills to make him live longer, then drive 90 miles on hour or> slick pavement to make up for the time he lost.

He ties up his dog but lets his 16 year old son run wild.

An American will work hard on a farm so he con move into town wliere he con make more rnoney so he con move bock to the form

He is the only fellow in the world who,•. ill poy 50 cents tc, pork his cor while he eats a 25 cent sandwich.

He i s never reedy for war bvt he hos never lost one.

We ' re the country that hos more food to eot than ony other country in 1he world ond more diets to keep us from eating,,

We ' re the most ombi t ious people on ear,h, ond we run fron, morn i ng unti l night to keep our earning power up with our yearning power

We' re supposed to be the mott civilized Christion no:ion on earth but stll l can't deliver payrolls without on armored car.

In America we hove more experts on morr10~ than any other counlry in the world and more divorces.

Bvt we ' re std I nice folks. Colling a person '•o real American " is the best compliment you con pay him Most of the world is Itching for what -,e hove, but they_'II n"ver hove ti until they start scratching for 11 the •''°.,Y_:;_e d,d
