OBRik 16 Philosophers Ponder Caught in the act, The Rev. Henri J. Renard, S. J., looks up from his Sutnma to baffle his students with a thoughty question on the nature of happiness in the life of a college student. Being of a philosophical na ture. Father Renard wonders, first of all. whether his students are in act or idling along in potency. He wonders what are the goals of these Creighton- ians in relation to his philosophy class. Well, my clever young students, says he, you all know that happiness depends on knowledge. Now then, which of you ha}jpy people have the most knowledge? Here is a rough question. Who can answer? Lost in a world of ideas, the chosen student can ' t seem to grasp the main element of the answer. Father Renard waits, as the words tumble all over each other in a happy, lioundless fashion. Come on now, urges Father, from the happy look on your face I can see that you have much knowledge of phil- osophical truth. Now. let ' s hear the answer in a nutshell — a clear, sharp image if you please. WELL, FATHER, you see, all knowledge comes through the senses; and I sense that I need just a teensy clue. Then I ' ll be happy, states Sue Schumacher, a happy (?) student of philosophy.

Hectic, Confusing For the freshmen already experiencing pangs of home- sickness, registration was a disheartening experience. For the sophomore registration was a challenge to be faced with fortitude and Blue Jay spirit. To the junior it may have meant the successful insertion of a part-time job into the busy college schedule. For the senior registration could have been the realization of the perfect schedule after three years of trying. Complaints — yes, there were a few. But more than a handful of students walked into the gymnasium with a determined chin and a beaming grin. The pushing, shoving, and crowding was disconcerting sometimes. But as they sat at long tables, creating weird schedules and filling in bits of information, Creighton stu- dents felt that they belonged. In the midst of stich a throng, no-one could really believe that he was alone. It was com- forting to know that others shared some of the same prob- lems and thoughts. New students now realized that this unity is one of the greatest aspects of life at Creighton. TWO MORE HOURS of waiting in line — then come the fallen arches. But if you really don ' t like the idea, you can come in at the beginning of this confusion and start all over again. • ' THIS IS THE ROTC, Mr. Jones. Today this remark doesn ' t seem til have much impact. It just means that there is another form to lip filled out. 15

Students Elect Miss Cutie, Mr. Ugly Tlie presentation of Miss Cutie and Mr. Ugly set the theme for the Community Service Dance. Oct. 17, in the Student Center. Judy Kosch, nominated by Theta Upsilon, and Bill Stromer, from Delta Sigma Pi, were proudly presented to Creightonians while George Koscis and his combo took a break from an evening of fine dance music. The crowning of Miss Cutie and Mr. Ugly marked the end of a week of voting and campaigning, carried on by fraternities, sororities, and other organizations, who be- lieved their candidates were the cutest or the ugliest students on cam])us. Voting booths had been set up in strategic places on campus, and votes were sold for fi ve cents apiece. This money, along with direct collections solicited in the class- rooms and proceeds from the dance, were donated to the Community Chest. l unners-up in the contest were Mary Ann Voeller repre- senting Theta Phi Alpha and Ron Hake representing Alpha Kappa Psi. Both are students in business. REIGNING OVER THE COMMUNITY Chest dance are Miss Cutie, Judy Kosch, representing Theta Upsilon, and Bill Stromer, Mr. Ugly, representing Delta Sigma Pi. HAPPY TO BE Mr. Ugly of Creighton University, Bill Stromer is congratulated by Tom Dowd, ro-chairman for the contest. TOM DOWD MUST HURRY to present Judy Kosch as Miss Cutie before co-chairman Pat Ryan rushes off to dance with her. CASTING A VOTE in cold hard cash, a student realizes that his money is helping needy people in the community. 17
