MOVIE CONDUCT
Students, h a v e you ever checked
yourself on your movie conduct?
Since a new projector h as b e e n
p u rc h a se d w hich elim inates the n e ­
cessity of stopping so a s to c h an g e
reels every few m inutes, there
should b e no excuse for noise or
u n n e c e ssa ry commotion, y et both
em ployees a n d students h a v e re ­
m arked th a t there is u n n e c e ssa ry
noise in the auditorium on S a tu rd a y
evenings. W hen there is noise a n d
talking it is difficult for one to h e a r
w h a t is .being sa id in the picture
a n d th at spoils w hat otherw ise
w ould h a v e b e e n a good picture.
W e all go to the auditorium on S at­
u rd a y evenings for one reason, th a t
is to b e e n te rta in e d w ith a movie.
So cooperate a n d le t's se e if w e
c a n not im prove our movie conduct.
Just ask yourself this sim ple q u e s­
tion, "Am I the noisy one?" a n d if
the a n sw e r is "Yes," then do som e­
thing a b o u t it.—Sylvia W innier.
