Letters to the Editor
"I'll Be Damned"
Emertild Full tor:
I submit this letter, to the
satisfaction of pent up emotions
I felt at the Voilvll show, Friday
niKht. To be frank, I thought the
Judging of the .thow to be the
wo rat example of taate and fair
ness I have ever wltneaaed. When
the result* were announced at the
Clone of the ahow Friday, my only
comment was, “Ml be damned.”
And thla feeling wan not unique
with me. From other and
atronger remarks I heard Fri
day night, I mirmiae that many
people were aurpriaed. disgusted
and Juat plain mad at the out
come.
Although many complaints
"ere voiced by the disgruntled
viewers, the inoat prevalent
"us, “What criteria did the
judges use?” Certainly they
did not consider which prrsen
Resolutions Not
Kept Says Poll
Of thoac well-meaning souls who
make New Year's resolutions. 53
percent of them really think they
can keep them, according to an
Associated Collegiate Press Poll
of student opinion.
According to the results. It looks
as if the men arc more sure of
their ability to k<-ep resolutions.
Fifty-nine percent of the men
thought they could keep their
resolutions.
When asked the question, "Of
all the people making New Year's
resolutions, what proportion do
you think are serious about keep
ing them?" 73 percent of the stu
dents stated t hat few of the people
keep their resolutions. From this
it looks like the tradition of mak
ing New Year's resolutions is
viewed skeptically by a large ma
jority of college students, or at
least they look at their neighbor's
resolutions with a doubtful eye.

lort, The purpose of any type
of production, and especially of
vodvll shows, is to entertain.
And yet the choice of the
judges was certainly no Indica
tion that they had even con
sidered entertainment as a fac
tor in judging.
A second question asked by
many pertained to the selection
of judges. Is it logical to have
professors and administrators of
the University Judging a stu

of high school seniors? Ami if

Why should an organization
put many hours of work into
creating a skit which from all
appearances is a winner, only to
have it subjected to the type r;f
Judging witnessed Friday night.
I must say here, that while I did
not think my organization had a
“winner,” I don’t think we lost
to the first choice of the judges.
In my opinion, the result of
this type of judging could be
apathy on the part of living or

A WHOLE CABOODLE OF LUCKY DROODLES !
WHAT’S THIS?
For solution see paragraph below.
A WONDERFUL SLANT on smoking! You’ll find it in
the Droodle above, titled: Tojirist enjoying better
tasting Lucky Strike while leaning against tower of
Pisa. If your own inclination is toward better taste,
join the many college smokers who prefer Luckies.
From any angle, Luckies taste better. They taste
better, first of all, because Lucky Strike means fine
tobacco. Then that tobacco is toasted to taste better.
“It's Toasted"—the famous Lucky Strike process
tones up Luckies’ light, good-tasting tobacco to make
it taste even better. Little wonder that Luckies tower
above all other brands in college popularity!
