SOUR SIGHT

S.G.A. Is Exposed
The March winds that have been
keeping across our campus for
past 31 days have helped us
down the veil of secrecy that
as surrounded our Student Gov-
ernment Association.
till now many have wondered
a^°ut what goes on behind that big
r°wn door, but few have really
n°wn. Now the tale can be told.
. The energetic Executive Council
ls Notorious for its long, drawn-out
nieetings, but these are held only
°nee a week! At night, our trusty
Pblic servants unlock the files and
Pficorck to the tune of “Hail, Hail
e Gang’s All Here”. Someone
!eems to burn the midnight oil
requently; could it be the mice
eaning up the pretzel scraps ?
would believe Republicanism
!e'gns over Addy’s clan after view-
the protrait hanging on the
b0rtb wall. Publicity agent Bis-
’bis pointed out that Hohl con-
„
'Pcted a safe in the wall for his
sPare” and felt that this conserva¬
tive influence would ward off itchy
fingers. The Free Puerto Rican, R.
C. McCall is trying to leftwing the
presidency from Sir James, but the
dictatorship is still intact. “Teddy”
reminds us of the old “Rough Rid¬
ers”, still bowed from his last long
ride, as he enters for conference
with Mack, head of the parking
commission. We also saw Losco
type quite a few notes to the fac¬
ulty. (Could be she’s trying to get
student teaching assignments in
Lida Lee Tall School for the whole
council ? ) Rinehart has been read¬
ing Robert’s Rules of Love to Addy
and Karl, but Evans hasn’t yet
consented to generous Jim’s offer,
so we’re still in the dark. Don’t for¬
get Franty, another of the “crew”,
who belives there is nothing like
Homecoming. No wonder he’s
counting the days till June.
We sought, we found, we told, we
wait . . . what will happen next in
the Linen Room?

And that’s not all wre seen. No

than the celebrated star of stage,
Hugh McQuire. And settin’ around
a table was a lot of hub-bub about
aces, hearts, clubs, and diamonds —
jet aces ? broken hearts ? college
clubs ? whose diamonds ? Real seri¬
ous talk! In the midst of this crowd
was Mary Lou Granese and Helen
Konieczny, so I knew they weren’t
playin’ cards! These gals just hate
to play with those little squares of
cardboard.
While we recoverd from chokin’
we gazed around some more and we
did speculate some sights. There
was people a-loungin’ all over
creation. Of course my colleagues
and I expect they must have been
doin’ right, cause after all this
here place is known as the “Stu¬
dent Lounge.”

In Brief
Exams
From the front office comes the
news that final exams are being
waived this June for all students.
This is one more step on the part
of Towson State Teachers College
in the direction of “progressive ed¬
ucation.” For all students who feel
however that they want to take
their exams it is suggested that
they see their advisors about the
matter— better yet, a psychiatrist.
Lung Cancer
The Lung Cancer scare which
has swept across the country has
taken its grip on Towson students.
From the Ally-oop Survey Bureau
comes the report that STC smok¬
ers are gradually decreasing, in
fear of a possible contraction of
this disease.
Ash Trays
A plea has come to the Sour
Sight office that this publication
bring to the eyes of the student
body the need for more ash trays
in the Student Lounge. We, there¬
fore are calling for a vote among
the students for their reactions.
Please check one of the following
and return to Sour Sight Office.
Yes, I think we need more
ash trays.
No, I don’t think we have
enough ash trays.
Broadway Play
To Be Staged
For the next evening program on
the State Teachers College Campus
the “King and I” 'will be presented.
This play currently closed in New
York so that the cast could prepare
for their trip to Towson. STC was
fortunate in securing the original
cast starring Brule Yinner. The
music department has also made
provisions for Brule to conduct a
few music appreciation classes
where he will teach “Puzzlement”
(?) and “Whistle a Happy Tune”.
This is, indeed, a worthy follow up
of the high-quality entertainment
to which Towson has been sub¬
jected
Those people interested in secur¬
ing tickets for this performance
must secure permission slips from
Dean Murphy between 7 and 8 a.m.
or Dean Browne from 10 to 11 a.m.
After 3 p.m. see Mrs. Hart in the
dormitory business office. Once you
have received permission you may
get the tickets in the Business of¬
fice in the administration building.
On Crackle Order
Once upon a time in the land of Naught by the river
Petomic lived a king; Skylar Schnitzler by name, which is
silly in the first place because who ever heard of a king called
Skylar. Well anyway, during one of his pensive moods he won¬
dered what he could leave to his descendants beside the na¬
tional debt and an overdue library book. Since old Schnitzler
was not much of a thinker he hired
group of horseless carriage manu¬
factures to do his thinking; this
was a cool move as it was well
known that horseless carriage man¬
ufacturers liked nothing better
than to tinker with the affairs of
the kingdom in their spare time.
The astute gentlemen pondered
and pondered and finally decided
that the country needed a move¬
ment; it wasn’t important what
kind of a movement, just so it was
a movement because anybody
knows that movements and cru¬
sades appeal to any dunderhead so
it would appeal to the king. They
finally decided that the would move
Bowels in the movement. Bowels
is a little north of Richmond.
The realm was searched for a
leader, and they came up with the
eminent Clafford C. Kasler or
Feslar or something like that. Our
boy went to the king for his com-
New Course
Opens Soon
Fundamentals and Methodology
of Bridge will be offered here next
September, as a six credit course
requiring 17 hours a week of
classes, which will be held in the
Student Lounge.
Along with teaching the actual
game of Bridge itself, it is hoped
that enlightened interpretations on
the part of the students will stem
from this highly recommended
course. Techniques which are em¬
ployed by all high society Bridge
players will be taught. Emphasis
will be placed on talking across the
table, and on the art of looking
into other people’s hands.
To diverge from the orthodox
Bridge game, Towson will take on
as being official, the phrase, “Talk
to me, baby”, to be used only when
one wishes an answer from his
partner.
Also an honorary Bridge fratern¬
ity is being established here. The
members of this fraternity will be
distinguishable by small pins in
the shape of a spade. On the pin
will be inscribed “A peek in the
hands is worth two finesses.”
Prominent Grackle Views Exhibit
mission; old Schnitzler raised his
five starred sceptre and proclaimed
Claf as Head Grackle. And so were
born the Grackles, sigh.
The organization has come down
to this day not intact because they
could never move Bowels and fin¬
ally got fed up with the project so
they turned to moon gazing and
worshipping some ancestors who
mixed it up in some revolution. We
ask people what a Grackle is to¬
day, and we are confronted by
doltic gleams; it seems that Grac¬
kles aren’t what they used to be to
the general populus. I’m all for re¬
viving the glories of Gracklism
whatever they were. Following in
the same vein I urge each one of
you to greet faculty and those book
readers with the old Grackle greet¬
ing, “grackle, grackle” which
means just what it looks like grac¬
kle, grackle! Therefore let the fields
and halls echo and churn to the
warm lilt of grackle, grackle.*
* Grackle is formed in the rear of
the mouth near the glotis; the ac¬
cent falls on the first syllable, and
there is an umglot** over the final
“E.”
**I don’t know what an umglot is
either.
