On the receiving end of the gripe assembly, planned by the Student Council to air student problems, are these S.C. members. The something new in the Hne of assemblies for 1954-5 5 was a gripe session sponsored by the Student Council. It seemed that everywhere everyone turned, some- one else complained about something that bothered them, too. So the assembly was scheduled and every- one who had a little problem bothering them, was in- vited to come. A roving microphone taken through the audience helps stu- dents bring up campus issues that disturb them for discussion.

And after the game, lines take you away from the stadium. Enthusiastic fans pack the stands for the much-anticipated K.U. game in Manhattan. As they leave, there is more confusion outside the stadium than there was for the winning touchdown.

For a few years it seemed that the grid results of such clashes were in a decided rut .... in favor of the people down the river. However, the last couple of years at K-State football games took an upward swing, and things again looked bright. Football interests picked up considerably that last year when the Hawks came over for the tussle with the Cats .... crowded stadium .... crowded town .... crowded dining rooms .... and empty classrooms. A snake dance adds zest to the pep rally staged before the K.U. game. It started on the campus and ended in the City Park.
