Page Two THE SKYSCRAPER April 4,1962 Poets Tease Weather Spring Comes Slowly Here It lurked amid the cold, biting winds of March . . . spring . . . but it has finally arrived ... in theory . . . everyone knows what that means. SPRING MEANS that the young and the young at heart inevitably quote that famous line from Tenny son's Locksley Hall, In the spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love. It's a well-turned phrase, a well- learned phrase. But when a warm, mild season is ushered in mid rain, sleet and snow, Chicagoans need a more appropriate quote concerning the weather. A timely statement which fits the Tete-a-Tete Unites Student-Faculty In order to improve student-faculty relationships, the SAC has launched a new program entitled Coffee and Conversation aimed at enriching the college curriculum as well as foster ing a better understanding of prob lems from both sides of the desk. FORMAL DISCUSSION on an in formal basis, the sessions will com prise both student and teacher com ments on current topics as well as those relating to classroom material. Although not definitely outlined as to time and place, these plans, never theless, show promise in solving the problem of that unanswered question or debatable point often neglected in the 50-minute race with the clock. In addition, the informality of the atmosphere will encourage candid opinions which students sometimes feel are irrelevant to the teacher's point or would disrupt her planned lecture. STILL IN THE FORMULATIVE STAGE, the idea does deserve con sideration and support. Not only may it provide that vital link between stu dents and faculty but it may also prove an enriching experience for both concerned.

Socialist Guy Mollet, former prime minister of France, pledged that his party would support President de Gaulle against any armed attempt to wreck an Algerian peace settlement ...

Yugo slavia's Tito is arranging another summit meeting of the neutral nations . . . The Cen tral Intelligence Agency has stated that U-2 pilot Francis Gary Powers lived up to his obligations as an American and to the terms of his employment and his instruc tions in connection with his mission. , . . The White House rejected a proposal that nonnuclear nations ban atomic weapons from their soil. The U.S. also rejected the creation of atom-free zones, especially in Europe . . . Diplomatic informants in Geneva said the Russians were eager to continue talking about Berlin without forcing a show down . . . Jose Maria Guido moved into the presidency of Argentina after the ouster of Frondizi last week. predictable unpredictableness of March weather was written by Henry Van Dyke. The first day of spring is one thing; and the first spring day is another. The difference between them is sometimes as great as a month. BUT CHEER UP, crocus hunter. Remember that Whittier said winter is the mother of spring. If that is true, spring will soon give a newborn cry; Mother Nature will awaken to its call; and Chicagoans will shout, Hey, what took you so long? Thought you would never get here. Eileen Schaefer Voters Hold Power To Change Judicial System/ City Eyesores The primary election, April 10, is the first step in a long weeding-out process to put capable and efficient men into office. THE ILLINOIS PRIMARY is a party election with separate ballots for each party. The voter must name his party for the precinct record, but his actual vote is secret. In this election the registered voter will elect one state Central Com mitteeman from his Congressional district. These officials from each district form a party committee desig nated to manage party affairs and se lect candidates during the next four years. Officials will also be nominated on Tuesday for various officials. On a national level nominees will be se lected for U.S. Senator and U.S. Con gressman. State offices include: Treas urer, Senator (in some districts), Representatives, Supreme Court and Appellate Court Clerks. COUNTY OFFICIALS to be nomi nated are: County Clerk, Judge, As sessor, Sheriff, Treasurer, Clerks for Criminal and Probate Courts, Judge of Probate Court, Superintendent of Schools, Members of the Board of Tax Appeals and President and Commis sioners for the Board of County Com missioners. Voters will nominate Chicago Municipal Court Judges and Trustees of Metropolitan Sanitary District. The names of those who win this primary will appear on the election ballot Nov. 6. On April 10 the voter will also elect seven judges for the Superior Court of Cook County.

Also a yes or no vote for the following bond issues will also be on the ballot: 1. Twenty-two and a half million for urban renewal (slum clearance, neighborhood conservation programs) ; 2. Twenty-two and a half million for sewers; 3, 4. Seven million each for street lighting and refuse disposal; 5. Four million for bridges and viaducts; and 6. Three million for municipal buildings. THE RESPONSIBILITY for the success of government on every level depends not so much on the men in office as the voter who puts these men in office. As citizens of Illinois, the voters have a grave responsibility to reha bilitate the judicial system which has received national criticism. AS CITIZENS OF CHICAGO, the voters must change the image of the ballot-stuffing scandal which has plagued the city since 1960. The power to change these govern mental flaws rests with the voter. He must exercise his power and vote. Intercollegiate News by Maxine Tyma AQUINAS COLLEGE, Grand Rapids, Mich. Starting this semester, Aquinas has be come the first private college in the Midwest to offer a course in Chinese. The language lab and classroom techniques such as flash cards are used to make student pronuncia tion and meaning of the Chinese characters easier to learn. ST. JOSEPH'S COLLEGE, Rensselaer, Ind. The Student Council academic committee and Delta Epsilon Sigma, honor society has started a tutoring service available for freshmen and sophomores who have received grades of D or F in any course. A fee of 50 cents per session is charged. ST. LOUIS UNIVERSITY, St. Louis, Mo. The Sodality girls have volunteered to be weekend mothers to help the families in their area. The girls go out in pairs and take care of the children of a family so that their parents can make a weekend retreat. ROOSEVELT UNIVERSITY, Chicago, 111. In an after election editorial, the Roose velt Torch commented, One big problem that the Senate faces (and has faced for years) is the rather unconcerned view that students have of it. Student apathy is a problem at almost every college but that does not mean that no attempt should be made to interest at least a few people in elections. Only 702 people voted in this election. That is less than 13 per cent of the student body. Sounding Board Editor's Note: We welcome your signed letters on per tinent school issues, your slams and even your praise.
