The good ship Amphic is dry- docked to make a sales booth where alumni and friends visiting the campus on Harvest Day are per¬ suaded they need a Marionette. The Eurekans are “out in front” with their sales booth. Prospective victims are collared and instructed in “reasons why you should buy a Marionette—here.” mPMIC The contest, having raged for months, is terminated. Mark, busi¬ ness manager of the Marionette, pre¬ sents the loving cup to Truman, Amphic president. Amphics were victors by 1.5%.

Students’ extra-curricular activities are multitu dinous enough to neces¬ sitate some sort of regulation. Two councils have been established, both of which are characterized by the desirable feature of student and fac¬ ulty cooperation. Since a large share of student ac¬ tivities are carried on through the two literary societies, an Inter-So¬ ciety Council exists to supervise mat¬ ters which concern both societies. Regular tasks of this council, com¬ posed of the president and an elected representative from each society and a faculty member furnished by the faculty, are setting up rules for Marionette sales contest and for in¬ tersociety literary competitions. Oc¬ casionally other matters demand at¬ tention. The Student Council, a compara¬ tively recent establishment, is the official student organ in their relation to the administration. A president elected from the student body, the president and another member of each class, and the two social deans make up the council which acts on matters suggested by its own mem¬ bers or by any other student. Its decisions are submitted to the faculty for final approval. Some of the Council’s regular duties are regulating the number of offices students may hold, directing Arbor Day Clean-up activities, remember¬ ing ill students, and collecting fifteen cents per capita per year.

Through harrowing experiences, with furrowed brow the Marionette staff plows its way toward that blessed day when the last panel has gone to the engravers and the final sheet of copy has left for the print¬ ing house. (Excuse a moment while writer is lifted into unimaginable heights of ecstasy . . .) In spite of everything, the book must come out!
