Restores Budget Cut
Our lobby proved to be about
50% effective. A portion of the
budget has been restored—in fact,
$11,357 has been voted in the sup-
plementary budget during the
final session of the legislation last
week.
The total reduction in our
budget amounted to $11,270. The
partial cut means a reduction in
faculty salaries which are already
low and also a reduction in the
maintenance for the school.
At the present time, according
to latest reports, there will be no
reduction in the number of fresh-
men that will enter next year.

Ineunt Novi
And now it is our turn. For two years we have
made our contribution to every issue —- writing
stories, pondering over headlines, proofreading, com-
posing editorials, and, most fascinating of all, do-
ing the make-up. Eagerly we have looked forward
from promotion to promotion until the time when
we could take up the reins. Now that time has
come, and it is with a pl
‘asp our pen to write these thoughts,
To our very recent predecessors we say good-
bye, and wish you at least as much good Juck and
success as you have enjoyed at the helm during the
past year. You have set a journalistic goal for us
which will be difficult to attain.
We look forward to a year of service, a year of
gratifying endeavor, and a year of satisfaction to
you. ‘The ideas of our editorial policies may dif-
fer from yours, but we hope to meet upon the com-
mon ground of compromise, Ineunt novi, and we
do so to carry on with undying effort.
NSF A. Shumate
The delegates to the N.S.EVA, conference con-
ducted three weeks ago have brought back one idea
which would be very much to the advantage of this
college to put into practice. We are referring to
the setting up of a faculty-student committee to
regulate and plan social activities for the entire
ensuing year.
Such a committee, as we see it, would have two
functions, One would be to plan the social calendar
for the year, arranging for dances, obtaining speak-
ers for assemblies and teas, and preventing conflicts
in the date of events. ‘The second function would
be to regulate and equalize the ye
ng in gaps between the major events with
$s social ppro-
gram, fill
suitable activities attractive to all.
The past year has been more than ample proof
of the need of such a committee. ‘The schedule of
some W nds has been so crowded that adequate
support of them was impossible, while other week-
ends have been practically barren of social activity
Student council has the initiative to provide for
such a committee, ‘The extant faculty committee
on student affairs, augmented by two or three under:
graduates, could well serve in this capacity. Here
is a challenge to the newly-elected student adminis-
tration to perform its first constructive measure of
the new year.

To the Editor:
Friday in Assembly the foilowing resolution will
be presented for consideration of the student body
If you can print this in your columns, Fam sure it
will facilitate its discussion.
WHEREAS both the Lion and the Echo can be
improved,
WHEREAS improvement cannot be made under
the present set-up because of separation of funds
and talent,
WHEREAS by consolidation @
can be made, be it resolved
1, That the Lion and Beho be consolidated,
2. 'That for the first year the consolidated
magazine be co-staffed by the present board of the
Lion and the Echo on an equal basis,
3. ‘That the new magazine be published quart-
erly.
4, That $850.00 be
magazine.
Will the new magazine be better than the combined
contributions of both the Lion and Hecho? Yes, First,
the Hcho and the Lion are both too conscious of the
other's field and lean over backwards in an effort to
keep from infringing on each other. ‘The valuable
middle road of lterature—well written ye humorous
or satirica.| material—is left untouched, Second, the
staff organization of the consolidated magazine will
be more efficient. Writing on this point in the last

Pardon. Mr. John Porter Edge!
Real Rivalry Score Is 3048-1 714
CONTRARY TO THE STATE-
MENT made by Mr, John Porter
Edge on the night of May 19
(Moving-up Day to you), the rivalry
score between the sophomore and
freshman classes was not and is not
27% to 17%! According to John,
(a math major—tch, tch!) a mistake
was made somewhere, sometime,
somehow in determining the totals—
and it is therefore with great pleas-
ure that the Srara Coutsan News
rectifies the mistake:
The correct, official, unadulter-
ated score was and {s: 30% to 17%.
Short pause while members of the
reading audience cheer, boo, or turn
the page, For those of you who
demand proof, listen my children
and you shall hear a brief history
of rivalry (the official kind) at
State during the year '38-39, So
get out those pencils and rulers,
and start checking carefully,
‘Way, way back last October, Cam-
pus day saw the sophomores gain-
ing 3 points for men’s pushball and
2 points for women’s athletic events,
while the freshmen were awarded
1 point for women’s athletic events.
There followed a long lull in rival-
ry affairs, Then Thursday evening
during the last week of the first
semester, the sophs threw a bomb-
shell by finding 1942's banner (for
which feat 5 points were given
on Moving-up day). Next day came
the assembly debate on “steadiness”
in all its aspects, and the elated
sophs gained 2% more points.
‘Women's basketball furnished the
class of '41 with 3 additional points,
and the rivalry sing in assembly
gave them 2% points.
Then came a great turning of the
tables, worms, or luck—as you will,
The frosh emerged victorious from
the men’s basketball game, and thus
accumulated 3 more points, Mc-
Kown’s Grove saw them also carry
off the men's 3 baseball points, al-
though the soph women again helped
balance the score by gaining 3
points from the female baseball bat-
the frosh pulled down 3 more points
by coming out on top in the third
onslaught,
But, alas! The class of '41 once
more came through. The discovery
of the mascot brought them 5 extra
points, which were also awarded on
Moving-up day. Then, determined
for revenge, the excited frosh pro-
ceded to walk away with a little
rope as well as the 3 tug-of-war
points.
You know as well as we do the
story of May 18 and 19: men’s push-
ball—2 points for the frosh; women’s
athletic events—2 points for them
there, too; stunt—3 points for the
sophs; and sing—1% points apiece
for the red and blue alike,
So there it is—add it up! And
if you can get anything but 30'4—
17%, well— just show us!! We're
willing to be convinced.
And now that all official mathe-
matics are cleared up, we find that
the frosh fellows are athletically
superior to their rivals, but that in
nearly all the women's events the
sophomore Amazons seem to have
the edge on the gals of ‘42, And
thus, fellow citizens, ends rivalry till
the arrival of 1943 and its little green
banner,

‘All Neckties to Go’

Two wide-eyed people went on

They were out for blood—I mean

long, long, silvery pair of shears.
Toya and Eddie decided to
make a rag mat from old rags—
new neckties found around the
necks of activities-minded stu-
dents. So—giving ample warning
to those who shall enter the ac-
tivities office, they set out for
their rag-ties,
And did they find them—and
how. Victim after victim walked
into the spider's net that they had
spun, With the help of Borneo-
haired Lenny, our scalpers went
to work.
As the “elite” walked into the
office, Eddie grabbed their ties
while Toya cut them off. Polka
dots, red and blue striped, black,
blue, in fact all colors of the rain.
