EDITORIALS TELEVISION j?ROGRA V3 When one turns on the television all you can get is a western show or a murder story. Now, not all these western and murder stories are very good for the children that watch them. You turn on the television to listen to the news and yov. hear about these teen-agers who have held up a bank or have shot someone. But just before the news there was a western and after the news there is a murder story, and oeople wonder why xa are so many delinquent teen-agers. It is just natural that a child will see something on tele- vision and then go out doors and do the same thing maybe with a toy gun, but when he gats older he will use a real gun. Now I know, of course, that everyone likes a good western or a murder story now and then, but I think that they should cut down on them and have more edr.icational orograms which would help the child to learn, and ma be help him In future years. Richard Boudreau '59 GOOD FILLING LI TUN THE TEAM—VITAL?? In such a s ’.all school, we are bound to have more than our share of petty jealousies, quarrels, and rivalries. The importance of an amicable relationship between students is especially important on a tea . Since this is basketball season we shall concentrate on that sport. If players don't particularly like one another or have a personal grud-e or pre- judice, It'shows in the ga'e. They won't be nulling together, How can they, when one olayer is harboring bad feelings toward another? If you can't overcome these feelings completely, you should, if only for the gaie, forget differences the minute you get out on the floor. When a nlayer goofs'1, forget it. Don -1 ma e him or her feel guilty for the rest of the season by riduculing him. Keep up team morale by joking with each other, not ridiculing--there is a sharp difference—and naking light of losing; that is, being a good sport when your team loses. That doesn't mean to r0 to the games with the idea that you are going to lose anvway. Don't: You have often heard someone say Boy, we're going to get beatv-ntonight, ' or Oh, well, we always losel If you. feel ttu way yon are rs good as beaten before you even start. Wanita Lafley 60

ID THS HUIITjhK HU.HICO 3 When a hunte ■ ftoes hunting he never re alizes the respon- sibility that iian :s on his s loulders or the hangars he might encounter while hunting. ‘ae responsibilities a hunter 'aces when he woes hunting are: 1. To make sure all camp Tires are entirely put out. . 2. to make sure he knows what Lie is shooting at before pulling the trigger. 3. Vo kiiow that when he shoots, his gun is not aimed at a person or in the direction ofcattl , horses, or other domes- tic animals. ii. To take sure his gun is empty when it should be empty. The dangers a hunter faces while hu tin ’ are: 1. Getting shot at by some creck-pot hunter. ?. Getting lost in an unfamiliar woods or mountain. 3. Gettin shot by an enyt rifle, so to speak; that is by one he thought was not loaded, but was. In many cases a person has buck fever when he sees what he is going to snoot; t :at is, he shoots ul his cpr ridmes into the air or ground or in any direction. This is pang?-u„ to his hunting companions, and fisc, for hi a These dangers could be prevent, f if a person would just look ahead before he acts. By full ruaiMag woat could happen no could $..uard against the in the fut ure. Then hunt- ing could be a reasonably safe spore. John Granger 159 THRIFT I think if is a pit to hav.. the st. dents of schools throug out th.. country, i around just throwing their money awa- . 3y this, I mea.. spen t ng tneir mourn' on thin s such as pinball bjscn nes, prol yr ies, candy, so ia-pop, anu other luxuries that are unnocosaar . In oruor to overcome this tendency, one could easily work out a budget plan, making it possible: to save a cer- tain amount each week. Tac i week's savim woul and up to a substantial ?mount in tie period of a year. This is net the onl point to be considered, another taing t .et students often do, is to carve their initials and mark up their desks-which thoir own parems have paid for through taxes. also many students waste a considerable amount of pacer. One does this, not stopping to think that it involves not only their parents toriftineas, but their own tco.
