Snowfall Brightens Campus By ARNIE EVITTS

A heavy snowfall fell on Fort Smith Monday and Westark re-ceived a good portion of the white stuff.

Trees drooped with the weight of layers of snow on their boughs. At night, as light shone on the buildings, an eerie glow seemed to radiate around the area.

Snow Girl Between classes, students found

time to throw snowballs and even make a snow girl. Some, how-ever, called it a piece of snow sculpture and: the statue in white

was tagged a "Cool Maiden." Later in the day, some fiendish

students beat the snow girl to the ground and all that remained was a lump of ice, slowly melt-ing into the grass.

In one snowball fight, Student Board President Steve Page and B o a r d Member Max Gilbert caught cold missiles of snow about the head and body from photographer Donna Riley. Miss Riley said the attack was ven-gence for the heavy work load the two Numa editors had sched-uled for her during the last few

The melting snow caused the parking lots to overflow with mud and spinning tires sent watery earth over the garb of at least one unwitting student.

The freezing cold and ice also hampered the beginning of spring sports practice on the athletic field. It was basketball again for the sports-minded student.

Despite the cold temperatures and icy roads, the snow brought an extra touch of variety to the campus.

From the Editor Student Board Must Woirk Together

T h e student board is n o w in the midst of its biggest pro j e c t •f the year , the spring concert t icket sale, yet s o m e m e m b e r s of the board don ' t seem to real ize the importance of the e f fort .

A m e m b e r of the Col legian staff attended a recent board meeting and learned that, a l though the leaders of the board are doing their best to advance the t icket dr ive , s ome m e m b e r s are s imply r iding along o r e v e n hamper ing the e f fort .

A t the meet ing , board m e m b e r s w e r e to rece ive tickets and posters in connect ion wi th the appearance of the Four Lads here. However , b e f o r e the night was over , student board president Steve Page f o u n d that f o r c e s wi th in the govern ing b o d y seemed to be w o r k i n g against him.

Photos w e r e to b e taken of the m e m b e r s f o r the yearbook . Chairs w e r e m o v e d a w a y in a c lassroom in order to f o r m a makeshift studio. Suddenly , s omeone said he had to go home, or on a date o r something w h i c h m a d e it impossible f o r h i m to stay.

In an instant m e m b e r s w e r e asking to have the p h o t o session postponed. S o m e had dates. T h e y couldn ' t spend the t ime to take the p ictures or hear about the F o u r Lads publ i c i ty program.

A running argument began as to w h a t t ime the pictures Muld b e re-scheduled. Page to ld m e m b e r s that all photos had to be in f o r the y e a r b o o k immediate ly but s ome didn't seem to understand.

Qu i ck ly the anxious board m e m b e r s began to leave. Other members argued wi th Page as to a n e w t ime f o r the pictures. One m e m b e r apparent ly b e c a m e angry , p i cked up the concert tickets wh i ch w e r e to b e passed out at the meet ing and left .

W h e n P a g e learned that the tickets w e r e gone, he began to s lowly put the chairs back in place. T h e meet ing was useless. Nothing had been accompl ished. Dur ing a publ i c i ty campaign, when e v e r y minute counts, a f e w unsatisf ied board m e m b e r s had caused the others to waste their t ime.

L inda Guthrie , chairman of publ ic i ty , to ld the remaining Doard m e m b e r s that " W e ' l l h a v e to w o r k together instead of pulling apart or w e might as w e l l quit n o w . " ,

W e second Miss Guthrie 's mot ion . If the f e w reluctant board members expec t s tudent-backing on such an important under -taking as the spring concert , they had better get in l ine wi th their leaders and consc ient iously represent the students w h o elected them.

W e stand behind the student board leaders w h o have sparked n e w and m o r e percept ive student activities this year and fee l that they should be g i v e n the right to tell the minor i ty of student board subversives to shape up or ship out.

LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS

The Religious View

O l d Answers to New Questions One of the primary goals of

modern education is to teach stu-dents to question everything, and we seem to have learned this lesson well. In fact, we of the "younger generation" have become so iconoclastic in some respects, that we have practically question-ed every "sacred cow" out of ex-istence. Better evidence of this at-titude cannot be found, than in that school of thought known as the "New Morality."

The "New Morality" teaches us to question the moral values of the past. But in the attempt to pass itself off as relevant and mod-ern, it seems to give the impres-sion that the ability to question is an end in itself. Based on the outdated Freudian concept that suppression of sexual expression is bad, it advocates freedom of such expression in "love." If sup-pression of such drives is un-healthy, however, then carried to its logical conclusions, it would demand that we lock up moral people and release the libertines.

The ability to ask questions is of no value unless some answers are expected. And "old moralists" have some answers. For instance the idea that immorality is all

right as long as you're in love" poses some real problems. Is im-morality all right for a 12 year old girl who is in love with the "boy next door"? The excuse that this is only good for those truely in love is no good here. Since love is purely subjective anyway, all that matters is whether the per-son involved thinks he's in love. If breaking the seventh command-ment in the name of love is all right, then mass murder for the sake of "love of country," such as the Nazi's committed 20 years ago, must be all right, too.

What is love? Is it not the com-plete commital of two people to each other only, until death? An ancient poem, says it best:

Love suffereth long and is kind. Love is not jealous. Love is not out for display, Is not conceited, or unmannerly, Love is not self-seeking, Is not easily provoked— Taketh no account of suffered

wrongs. Love rejoices not in injustice, But rejoices with the truth. Love beareth all things, Believeth all things, Hopeth all things, Endureth all things, Love never faileth.

Just Let Me Lift My Debt Limit, Sam!

By BRUCE STAPLETON If private individuals were al-

lowed to carry on, their financial dealings as does the federal gov-ernment, most people would have few monetary worries.

Three explanations serve to justify the consistent deficit spend-ing and soaring national debt com-piled by our friends in Washing-ton. Their first theory holds that the government is the people so we owe it to ourselves.

The second involves a compari-son between the national debt and the Gross National Product. The latter is the total amount of goods and services produced annually by everyone in the Uhited States. Last year the GNP was over $700 billion while the national debt stands at $335 billion, forcing Congress to raise the debt limit again.

The third explanation is that the federal government spends more than it takes in to stimulate the economy. As a result, the gov-ernment can go in debt indefi-nitely, paying interest with tax-payers money and never bother to pay it back.

To see how this situation would work on the private level, let's take the case of Pete, who has owed Sam $150 for three months. The latter is now ready to put the bite on for the money.

Penniless Pete sees Sam too late so he decides to use a little gov-ernment psychology. "Hello there, Sam old buddy. Haw's it going?"

"Well, it's like this Pete, you know that $150 you borrowed from me three months ago."

"Oh yeah, I've been meaning to talk to you about that. I've about decided that's not nearly so im-portant as you might think."

"Why you dead beat , what are you trying to pull anyway?"

"Now look Sam, let's reason this thing out together. It's really very simple. You think I owe you $150, right?"

"You right." "Well that's one way to look at

it. But I use a different system. You see, Sam, you can't just look at that $150 and let it go at that. You've got to analyze the entire picture."

"You have to remember all my other assets. My car, my clothing, my alligator shoes and dozens of other things. Do you know any-thing about Gross National Prod-uct, Sam?"

Pete goes on, "I figure my Gross Personal Product is around $815. Take $150 from that and it leaves $665. So you see, I don't owe you a thing. You've got to think how you stimulated the economy with the money you loaned me. That $150 I spent on the hi fi set will go right back into the economy and help keep the country moving. Besides, I raised my debt limit to $200 so I've still got $50 to spend and still contribute to the national economic growth."

By now Sam doesn't know what to think. His jaw flops open at Pete's smooth line. "If you don't have the money, Pete, just say so and you can some other day."

"Forget the Gross National Prod-uct and just give me my money before I belt you."

"But I tcld you Sam, the $150 doesn't mean anything. Look at it this way. We both live in the United States, right. We're both people and we're both represented in our democratic system, so es-sentially we are the government. As a result, we both contribute to the national economy. Don't you see Sam, I don't owe you' $150.

Westark Numa Staff Ends Year's Work

The Numa, Westark's award-winning yearbook, is now com-pletely off to the press men at Wolfe City, Tex.

The final s'ripment of copies and pictures was sent Monday, Feb. 27, according to editors Steve Page and Max Gilgert.

Final photographs taken in-cluded student beard members and athletic department officials

The completion of the Numa brought to an end a hurried rush for news and photographs. Color photographs and special features will highlight this year's publica-tion.

Jerry Atkinson, adviser, said that the yearbcok beauties were named by a leading persony,lii,y in the show business field and that the names of the winners and their positions will be re-leased in May.

Donna Riley, Numa photo-grapher, completed her duties in rapid order. She had this com-ment for the Collegian: "Never Aga in ! "

However, Atkinson said this year's book would have some of the finest photographs ever taken for the annual.

Numa staff members included: Sam Gordin, Pat Blackard,

Doris Griffin, Janet Bennett, Ray Schaap, Larry Green and Duane Funk.

The editors said that they were not positive when the yearbook would arrive, but that it would be before the end of May "un-less something unexpected comes up."

Four Lads THE FOUR LADS, popular singing group, will appear in concert

here Thursday, March 16. The Student Board is sponsoring the program.

President's Draft Statements Prove Confusing to Some

Faculty Activities

Jerry Atkinson, publications adviser, is attending the annual meeting of the National Council of Teachers of English at Corpus Christi, Tex.

College President E . T. Vines, Claude Yancey, C. L. Brown and Robert Runner attended a meet-ing of the National Association of Junior Colleges in California recently.

The alumni cards in Dean Breedlove's office now number 10,198. They are being checked for correct addresses.

Mr. Bauman, Mr. Cameron, and Mr. Hile talked to the seniors at Alma High School, Thursday, March 2.

Dr. Hattie Mae Butterfield spoke to the Fort Smith Musical Coterie, Wednesday, March 1.

Dean Shelby Breedlove and C. L. Brown spoke to local dental assistants, Thursday, March 9 on "Allied Health Programs."

Some 1.5 million students are now enrolled in junior colleges, and within five years 2.5 million students are expected.

By BRUCE STAPLETON College students may be left con-

fused in the wake of President Johnson's recent proposals on the Selective Service law. On the one hand he urges that 19-year olds be drafted first under a lottery system, while on the other he makes no mention of an end to student deferments.

It appears that undergraduate males will still be exempt but that some postgraduate students may see their status changed. Also, de-ferments for certain occupations and for married men with chil-dren are in jeopardy.

The President's s u g g e s tions seem fair but some senators favor abolishing undergraduate defer-ments entirely along with many local draft boards under a com-

plete lottery system. They feel that something should be done to equalize the draft so that the poor are not penalized as they are to-day.

Several factors seem to be over-looked in this controversy, notably that not all college students are rolling in unlimited wealth and not all are going to school to es-cape the draft. Another is that, inefficient as local draft boards may be, would the system: be im-proved if handled on a federal level?

The question which should be asked is, would it be more fair under a lottery to draft a college engineering major in the upper 1/10 of his class while an un-employed, non-student drifter re-ceives a chance deferment?

(Editor's Note: The following ar-ticle tells of the growing problem of runaway youth and the draft. It does not reflect the views of the staff or the editor).

THE COLLEGIATE PRESS (Last of a two-part series)

TORONTO — "I 've a l w a y s thought a man had an obligation to go fight where his country tells him to , " says Corporal Ron Mcintosh, a career soldier with the Canadian Army. "But it seems to me that the United States hasn't given its boys much of an explanation on why they should go to Viet Nam. So if they want to come up here to escape the draft it's fine with m e . "

Most of official Canada views things the same way. Police, civic, and university admniistra-tors as well as the press solidly endorse the right of U. S. citizens to avert conscription. U. S. doplo-matic and military officials are not visibly dismayed by the situation either.

'No Reason' "There's no reason to get your

blood pressure up when you have a few hundred draft dodgers amidst 30 million draft regis-trants," National Selective Serv-ice Director Lt. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey said.

"You can't have a sawmill without a little sawdust and these draft-dodgers are just sawdust. Besides I don't think they are much of an asset to the United States. I 've told my Canadian friends that they are welcome to them."

Canada seems happy to oblige. "We don't even think about it ," says a spokesman for the city of Toronto in the town's posh new city hall. "What's the say-

ing? What you don't know doesn't hurt you," he says whimsically.

A spokesman for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police ex-plains that the draft status of CJ. S. immigrants is not a matter of Canadian concern.

Political Asylum And the Toronto Globe a n j x^Iail

wrote in a recent editorial, "The granting of political asylum is an accepted principle in aU civilized countries. Canada cannot, decent-ly breach this principle."

At the University of Toronto admissions director E. M. David-son says the draft status of American applicants is not a fac-tor in admission to the school. "We admit exclusively on aca-demic a n i behavioral grounds."

Davidson has noticed no up-surge of applicants from Ameri-can men to the school. In fact, the number of U. S. male ap-plicants has fallen off in recent months. "But that's probably be-cause the draft is draining off a lot of our prospective American students," he explains.

Intramura s P an Gets Into Full Swing Here

By LA.NDON KENNEDY The Westark Intramural sports

activities are now in full swing with today as the deadline for in-terested students to sign up for the table tennis competition, according to Lynn Bowman, sponsor.

The sports represented in the program are team sports suth as basketball and volleyball; and in-dividual sports including table tennis, badminton, horseshoes, ar-chery and tennis.

According to Bowman, the com-petition iwill be arranged in a type of single elimination with the vari-ous events taking place at dif-ferent times. This is due to the difficulty in getting enough par-ticipEnts to fill the various events. So far the only event that is completely filled is table tennis.

Bowman said the intramurals program is not new but this year marks the first time that the stu-dent body has been ready for such a program. He went on to say that the program is a good extra-curricula activity for students who are willing to participate.

"The program is only as good as the students make it. We hope they will help make it successful." He concluded by saying that the student body is growing and a program such as this is definitely needed right now.

Students may enter the com-petition either under a club name or as independents. Certificates will be awarded to the winners of the tournaments. All students who are interested are urged to contact Coach Rinehart.

The deadline for entry of the second event will be Friday, March 17. The sports included in the sec-ond event are horseshoes and bad-minton.
