Ashtrays s l i p below the s e t t e e s , w h i l e the ash and matches they 8 "• supposed t o c o n t a i n are strewn a l l over the f l o o r ar, ~ •! tables.

Newspapers sprawl c a r e l e s s l y on the s e a t j , \.hile people are perched uncomfortably on t a b l e s .

The newspapers and p e r i o d i c a l s come i n f o r r e a l l y h e a r t l e s s treatment, and i t i s r a r e t o f i n d a magazine more than a few days o l d w i t h i t s cover on.

Why, WHT, do we have t o drop our paper when we get up?

I s i t too much e f f o r t t o v a l k a few e x t r a paces anr" put them on the s i d e t a b l e s ?

No s i g h t i s more f a m i l i a r i n the Lounge than the student who wanders round l o o k i n g f o r a p i e c e of unclaimed p r i n t e d paper t o read.

R e t u r n i n g the papers t o t h e i r proper p l a c e would reduce the number of these wanderers, and i n c r e a s e the l i f e - e x p e c t a n c y o f the magazines as they would not then be sat on so much.

The r e s t of the Union comes i n f o r much the same treatment.

Muddy f e e t ignore the door-mats as completely as i f they were not t h e r e .

And d r i p p i n g coats wander round l o o k i n g a t n o t i c e s , c h a t t i n g t o people, going t o the l e t t e r r a c k and even t o the D i n i n g H a l l before t u r n i n g t o the c l o a l room.

T h i s s o r t o f treatment i s not deserving of the Union.

I t might be a l l r i g h t i n one's own d i g s , v i s i t e d perhaps by a maid once a week and by the l a n d - l a d y once a month, o r when she s m e l l s k i p p e r o i l .

But p l e a s e , not i n the Union, -which i s used by hundreds of others.

I s i t too much t o ask t h a t we c l e a n our shoes as we come i n ; or t h a t we use the a s h - t r a y s ; or that vre t r e a t t h e papers c i v i l l y ?

E s p e c i a l l y the papers.

T h i s i s NOT regimentation.

I t i s not even d i s c i p l i n e .

I t i s merely canmonsense and t i d i n e s s t o be e x h i b i t e d i n a p l a c e t h a t we f r e q u e n t so o f t e n .

L e t us be c a s u a l , by a l l means.

But l e t us a l s o be t i d y .

I t makes l i f e f a r more pleasant .
