Campus Cleanup
Scheduled for Today
Excitement began to mount last
night when several eager coeds
climbed into jeans and went out
after dinner to survey the areas to
which their houses had been
assigned for the annual campus
clean-up campaign today.
Each house will begin policing up
their individual section of the Uni
versity acres today, and by tonight
Gloria Malloy and Bob Smith,
chairmen of the committee in
charge, expect to see all lawns and
streets cleared of papers and un
sightly debris.
"The girls will be allowed to
wear jeans and slacks during the
actual clean-up work. Here's a
chance to get out into the sun for
a tan and be doing a real service
to the school while you clean up
your areas,” maintained Miss
Malloy.
Bob “Joe College” Smith added:
"and don’t forget that the house
which does the best all-around job
of cleaning up will be awarded a
prize at the big campus luncheon
Saturday.”
The area around the College
Side Inn, Taylor’s, and down Kin
caid to the YWCA bungalow has
been assigned to Hilyard house,
Birch lodge, and Rebec house. The
foregoing three houses had not
been assigned an area in yester
day’s report.
Dr. H. Herring Outlines
Three Basic Ingredients
Three ingredients needed for sound Inter-American relations
were outlined by Dr. Hubert Herring, director of committee on
cultural relationships with Latin America, in a talk Wednesday
night for the institute of Inter-American affairs.
“Realism is the first of these ingredients. You can’t build
sound relations with sweet music, and there has been too much
ox this and not enough realism,"
^>r. Herring said.
Second of the ingredients is
imagination, the director stated,
because imagination is always
needed in dealing with people.
Greatest of the ingredients is
is respect, Dr. Herring emphasized.
“The fundamental thing wrong
with the relations now is that few
people of the United States expect
anything good to come from South
America. There can never be any
good Pan-Americanism without
respect,” he said.
Dr. Herring . traced the begin
nings of Pan-Americanism from
AJie dreams of Simon Bolivar to the
present "good neighbor" policy.
That Latin Americans are sus
picious at times of this sudden
fondness for them was stressed by
the doctor.
"It’s gotten so that the South
Americans can just send a penny
postcard to Washington and get
anything from the Congressional
Record to an admiral with a full
fleet in return,” the Columbia
graduate laughed.
The way to go about obtaining
better relations, according to Dr.
Herring, is through economic co
operation, based upon stabilization
of currency and a strengthening
of industry; and through cultural
interchange. v ’ -
“Inter-Americanism cannot be a
political football if it is to suc
ceed,” he warned. Dr. Herring at

Campus to Picnic
Saturday at 5:30
Supper eaten under the trees on
the lower campus is in store for
everyone this Saturday at 5:30
p.m.. Wartime restrictions prevent
the serving of the supper by the
junior class, but ice cream and cof
fee will be provided, to go with the
suppers which must be brought
from home.
Tickets for the picnic will be sold
in each living organization for 25
cents.
Traditions will be the order of
the day and it is warned that pen
alties will be stiff for those who
don’t conform.
There are to be no white shoes
worn by students of any class.
Freshman girls must continue to
wear their green ribbons, and boys
must wear their class pants. Girls
cannot talk to boys until the queen
is crowned. Fellows can talk to the
girls, however, and a word to the
wise should be sufficient. Girls,
don't answer!
Girls who have been guilty of
slipping up on traditions this week
will be dunked in the pool next to
Fenton hall, and those who talk
to the wrong sex will receive the
same punishment. Boys not obey
ing the rules will be unceremon
iously hacked.
The program of the picnic will
be highlighted by the crowning of
Queen Anita. The traditional tap
ping of the honoraries, Mortar
Board, senior women’s honorary,
Friars, senior men's honorary, and
Asklepiads, medical fraternity, will
take place.
Announcement has been made
that during the picnic there will
be a Canoe Fete.
Order of 'O' Men
Dish Out Medicine
The evcr-vigilant Order of the
“O” has reported a long list of of
fenders of Junior Weekend tradi
tions. The following people must
report at 12:45 this afternoon on
the front steps of Fenton hall, “to
take their medicine,’’ says Herb
Hoffman, president.
Those who did not report yester
day to get their hacks were A1
Halteman, Robert E. Clark, Gor
don Gellatly, Bill Patterson, Paul
McBride, Don Jeppeson, Dick
Potter.
New offenders to the crimes of
walking on the lower campus lawn,
smoking there, or not wearing
their class pants, were: Don Tay
lor, Joe Lind, Glenn Fisher, Sam
Benvenisti, Bob Schott, Bill Baird,
Bill Patterson, Harry Lee, Bob
Smith, Fred Hessel, Morrie Mink,
Bob Bisset, Dick Johns, Paul Mc
Bride, Keith Murphy, Russ Mona
han, Winthrop Ware, Bill Patter
son (for the third time), C. W.
Osborn, Roy Koski, Bob Mueller,
Don Tucker, Gilbert Roberts, Art
Butterfield, Edward McDonald.
It seems that the girls are be
ing more careful than they have <
been, because only one female was
apprehended yesterday by the ''O'’
men. Jean MacPherson was the
sole girl to be caught today.
