.gjfbwlenf Qrganizafion GEORGIA DOBRER l was stationed in the S.O. Office. I was happily gazing out the windows, watching the late line grow and grow, when l suddenly heard a bellow. It appeared that Miss Eliazon was being admonished for using last year's Mr. Bae stamp on her pass. Meanwhile, back in the office, my face took on a solemn appearance. A sophomore entered. The sight of his naive face recalled to mind my childhood ideas of the S.O. At first the S.O. was something which cost money to run. Only my desire to participate in the committees made me part with 1ny 9553. fAt that time Ira Bloom and the Big Brothers didnit exist, so their coaxing didn't ease this tragic partingj Boy! Was I disillusioned when all sorts of applications were rejected. I remember charging into the S.O. Office and demanding my rights or my 33. I got neither. Some senior, who tried to look very worldly, thoroughly confused me by explaining the difference between the right to participate and participation. Being kicked by Susan Guggenheim, parliamentarian, our mighty president yelled ouch, thereby signifying the beginning of the meeting. Having ushered out retiring officers Bob Lapkin, Mike O'Hare, and Susan Hellmann, Leo Levy tried to conduct the meeting. Amy Sheldon, chairman of the Community Service Committee, suggested a MProtect Miss Eliazonw campaign. Martha Karpeles offered the services of the ushers to Ward off angry parents. After five minutes of heated discussion on the question, President Levy, overcome with emotion, left the room. During the next ten minutes, Vice-President Linda Freedman gradually fashioned order out of chaos, and finally received a report from the 4'Be Kind to Substitutes Committeesf, Pete Rubenstein expressed amazement at the falling death rate, but insisted that appropria- tion for decent burials be increased. In view of her position underneath the swarm of alternate reps, each demanding that his attendance be checked, Diane Levy, S.O. Secretary, favo.red the bill, which was passed, as Mike O,Hare, Eddie Bernstein, Gene Dennis, Jerry Dorros, Joel Engelstein, and Danny Marcus of the '6Losers7 Clubw announced their support of the legislation. Eli Minckoff then asked what had happened to our appropriation for the Aquarium Club, but the discussion was postponed in order to appropriate unemploy- ment insurance and fringe benefits. The funds and gratuities were dispersed as follows: Leo Levy, shinguards, Sue Guggenheim, Leo Levy, Diane Levy, the lower classes, Bruce Ackerman, unemployment insurance, James Rome and Pat Blumenthal, one another, Mike O,Hare, a recount, Bob Lapkin, lower S.O. Dues, Mr. Lazar Ctreasurerl, a loan, Lucy Halpern, the right atmosphere at the lounge, Lorraine Billitzer, season dance tickets-the meeting was adjourned. Zl,

LUBS AND QUADS SERENA RACHELS Although only a few of us have known of the existence of the Astronomy and Radio Squads, most of us have have had occasion to remember the Luncheon, Hall, and S.O. Store Squads. These three squads have the respective jobs of: pulling out those unfortunites who find it impossible not to move when the whistle is blown, keeping out stray Clintonitesg and crawling eagerly under musty shelves to dig out an authentic Pompeiian reviewbook. The members of the Guidance Squad industriously copy transcripts flater to be sold on the local Black Marketl in between debates over the possession of the highest LQ. The Language Office Squad eats its lunch while Mr. Hodes eats his, the Library Squad funder the eiiicient direction of Mrs. Mildred Suesser, Mrs. Ruth Handel, and Miss Ettie Goldbergj puts the books back on the right shelves. With our move to the new building, the S.O. Oliice Squad was finally able to invite its friends in for discussion tled by Miss Doris Fliazonj. Since it is impossible to mention all the squads, we think it best to name all that we can remember and a few of their members. fPlease address all complaints to the Editors-in-Chief: Roger Swaybill and Bruce Ackerman. QSee, we got your names in, as we promisedl . In no particular order, we have: the English Oiiice Squad, whose members were Pam Dodes, Debby Lurie, and Annetta Kimball, Math Office Squad, with Norman Levitt, Robert Strichartz, and Richard Daynardg the Music Oiiice Squad, containing Judy Weiner and Andrea Miller, the Art Squad, whose sole member seems to have been Debby Lurieg the Camera Squad, revolving about Bennett Meyer, Allan Bergelson, and Danny Auerbach, the Physics Lab Prep Squad, with Norm Levitt, Charles Lindauer, Norm Lifschutz, Bennett Meyer, and Judah Landau, the Chem Prep Squad, which included Thomas Lewis, Susan Pinsky, and Gerard Pessis, the Bio Lab Squad and Animal Squad, some of whose members were Doreen Brenner, Ann Sarney, Ronald Leiberman, Barbara Wexler, and Necia Grant, the General Office Squad, which revolved around Carmen McAvoy, the Emergency Drill Squad, whose sole member whom we can find was Danielle Fraenkel, the Mimeograph Squad, whose only member that we know of is a junior-sized Freshman, and the S.T.L. Squad, whose members include those taking STL for the third time. Having polished off the squads nicely, we now turn our beam on the extra- curricular Clubs fa term meaning only that you can't get Arista credit for themj and miscellaneous organizations without that appellation. One of our most dynamic organizations was the Forum, whose Executive Committee consisted fwhollyj of: Carol Fleisher, Thomasine Holloway, Peter Rose- now, Bruce Ackerman, James Rome, Samuel Uretsky, and Neil Silverman. This group has worked hard to invite those speakers who will enlighten Scienceites on important current aff airs. The Language Department offered a French and Spanish Club. The French Club offered practice in conversation, but the Spanish Club offered instruction and practice in the Latin American dances - Ole! Mr. Mufson. 23
