Love
In The
Bucket
Seat
The bucket seat is just one more saddening reminder of technology’s, genius for getting in the ‘way. The girl in a bucket seat on a moonlight summer night is not likely to slide closer to the boy behind the wheel. Its primary purpose is to keep passengers in upholstered comfort so they can enjoy the full smoothness of the miracle-suspension ride without emotional distract. In the American cars the girl’s escape is blocked by an imposing obstacle called the console. This is dangerously studded with mechanisms that set lights flashing, catch cigerette butts, and dispense facial tissue. This is Detroit’s ‘answer to how the Berlin Wall could have been built had the Communists only had the know-how. Consider the range of activity available with the all-purpose seats. In one car spotted recently at a red light, the following was seen: the girl had both arms around the driver and was kissing him warmly, the radio was broadcasting the news, the driver (offering his cheek to the girl) was talking on the radio telephone, racing his engine, and watching the red light. This was a vignette of a man trying to steal a moment with his girl while his car, his telephone, his radio and his radar-controlled traffic lights screamed, rang bells, howled and flashed lights at him to break it up. Now bucket seats threaten to make that stolen moment more difficult. A car’s original function was to get you out of the constricting, atmosphere of the parlour or the public glare of the front porch and provide a settee-like seat on which the growth of a human relationship could be measured inversely by the distance between driver and passenger. In final analysis, the bucket seat is just an armchair without legs, and armchairs are furniture for parlours, and parlours are what we started to get away from. What this trend could do, in effect, is turn the car into a parlour on wheels. II

/Golden Hawks Take t Waterloo Warriors 7-6
\
I Last Friday night the Waterloo Warriors and the College Golden Hawks met at Seagram Stadium head on in a pre-season football exhibition game. The result was a 7-6 victory over the Hawks. The deciding factor in the game was a’blocked convert attempt in the final quarter. The Hawks deflected Jim Harm’s convert attempt wide of the uprights to thwart the Warrior’s bid for a tie. The first half was uninteresting and showed clearly that both teams were hampered by a lack of conditioning. The only scoring threats were two attempts at singles by the Hawks., Midway in the third quarter, the Hawks scored their maior on a well executed 48 yard pass -and run play from quarterback Millar to wingback Heinbecker. Drynan converted for what later proved to be the margin of victory. Early in the fourth quarter, the Warriors recovered a blocked punt on the Hawk’s 41 yard line and moments later, quarterback Nihill hit Harm with a 28 yard pass to take the ball to the Hawk’s 13. Three plays later, Atwood took a pitchout three yards around right end for the unconverted major. Late in the game, the Hawks recovered a Warrior fumble on the Warriors’ 22 yard line. Three plays later, Drynan unsuccessfully attempted a field goal and the Warriors took over on their own 18, but too late to get downfield to tie up the game with a single. The game, although disappointing to Warrior fans, was most indicative of the team’s potential. The coaching staff believes this year’s personnel to be better; than any previous season. However, only nine holdovers from last season and but one week of practices certainly handicapped the team. FROM THE SIDELINES The crowd of 1,884 (paid attendance) set a record for College Football in the Twin Cities . . . the Hawks reported eleven injuries with two players hospitalized temporarily . . .the Warriors had only 3 or 4 minor injuries.

BY G. WHIZ The coming year may see increased rivalry between ourselves and the “College”. Snatching their cute little initiation hats was .a beginninghowever crude - and the year should see many more trifling acts perpetrated by both sides. Please do not mistake my intentions. I am neither counselling heightened rivalry nor am I condoning the resulting pranks; I am simply stating that all hell might break loose. Dwelling on this prank business for a minute, 1 had to chuckle at the wording in the “Welcome to Waterloo” booklet. Once a prankster is brought to justice, “action will be swift, fair, Grm and direct”. The boys on Mt. Olympus pull no punches, so as mother always cautioned, “BE GOOD”.

A word to the Frosh might not be appreciated at this time Jut consideration for others has never been my strong point so read and absorb. I have become rather cynical about the capabiliies of Frosh regarding campus activities and consequently have tdopted a “show me” attitude. Certainly you, as Frosh, should ook to others for guidance and advice, but please show a little nitiative in the process. University has the capability of developing :haracter and potential in its students but the door is more easily mlocked from within than battered open from without. If you have 3 mind given to analogies, I hope you will recognise this little blurb as a rap at the door.

Occuring in the stands at Seagram. Stadium is a rather unfair practice which should be nipped in the, bud before it assumes the aspect of a ritual. Specifically it is this: when a mickey is discoverzd, those around the unfortunate owner are guilty ofI a serious breach of etiquette. They stand up and bring undue attention to the consumer by pointing many tigers in his direction. Is this action prompted by jealousy? Is it the idea of the accusers to provide the crowd with a laugh at the expense of the poor slob? What: ’ ever the reason the practice should be stopped because it is both un;sportsmanlike and against all tradition. I say tradition because mickeys in the stands have been, are, and always will be a part of our little society as it swings into the autumnal season. , ’ The authorities are perfectly correct in taking a fhm stand on this business of liquor on campus and they should be commended for it. But bear in mind that such commendations have been part of the University scene since the invention of the mickey. “Forbidden fruit . . . ” is a tired clich6 but nevertheless it is extremely apt. Grant us enough intelligence not to exceed the bounds of propriety.

My roomate, a vigorous healthy farm lad; has become overly concerned at the rate at which my chest is sliding into my abdomen. He has taken it upon himself to remedy the situation. Consequently, the 5BX plan is fast becoming the bane of my existence. Running on the spot, deep knee bends, push-ups, etc., are having a more 1telling effect on my landlady than on me. She is a quiet soul who ’does not take kindly to great thumps on the ceiling. One of us will have l to go, either me or -the 5BX booklet.
