By RALPH SANDERS A mop . . . a pail of water . .

a broom . . . a dust cloth . . . and utter chaos in the halls. Yes, Clean-up arrived at junior col-lege.

A tour of the college during the period designated for clean-ing up produced some amazing results. , Walking i n t o Miss Lucille Speakman's classroom, students were confronted by four pails of water strategically placed in the doorway. Dust cloths of assorted sizes and colors lay all over the jroom.

"My GI training sure came in handy," Bill Smith stated as he ;leaned on a broom, glancing at a half-washed blackboard. P a u l Reed echoed "Amen," from his perch in a window he was wash-ing. Nick Ruple then drowned out the din by starting a vacuum cleaner to clean cob-webs off of

the heating unit. Miss Speakman surveyed the

situation wih a look that Napol-eon must have given his troops after the Battle of Waterloo, then turned her attention back to the door facing she had been scrub-bing. Student Finds Buried Treasure The only object in Miss Speak-

man's room that was not spotless was a map which had white chalk marks cn it. Billie Ruth Lloyd found "buried treasure" when she cleaned the bookcase back of Miss Speakman's desk. Recov-ered trophies were: a box of as-sorted balloons, a balloon infla-tory a box of arrowheads, a ball of twine, a school bell, a ribbon, and several dozen dead bugs of various sizes and description.

In Miss Luella Krehbiel's class several ingenious students dis-covered that the big metal waste

paper baskets will hold water. One limitation, though, is that those waste baskets hold a lot of water, and it's a long way to the bottom when searching for lost soap bars.

Powell Sanders, at first glance was apparently ready to "end it all" as he leaned prepariously out of the window. Investigation proved that he was only washing the windows.

Class Finds Sink Is While Harold Keller's art class made

the amazing discovery that the sink in the classroom was 'really white after all. Credit should go to Jerry Faught and Bab-O for the discovery.

Keller began washing the board but conceeded the job to Roy Law, promoting Roy from supervisor to board washer.

James Cooper looked up from the baseboard he was scrubbing

and quipped, "I like Bon Ami because it's better for the com-plexion."

Shirley Windsor carefully dust? ed off Dean Fullerton's chair and a pair of shoes belonging to Don-na Gail Schreier who was stand-ing in the chair scrubbing a door facing. Truthfully the chair look-ed worse after its beauty treat-ment.

H. J. Parta stood surveying the biology lab with a puzzled ex-pression. It seemed that some of his students who went down stairs searching for cleaning ma-terials had never returned. One bright soul speculated that the students might not like to re-turn to the "scene of the crime." Girls Trapped On Fire Escape Nan Reese and Anna Minden,

on the fire escape, appeared to be washing the windows of the lab with vigorous motions. Closer

investigation showed that thejr were not scrubbing at all. Some "thoughty" individual locked the windows and trapped the girls on the fire escape.

Shirley Anderson sat on the lab shelf that she was supposedly cleaning and remarked to all in hearing distance, "I'm getting tired." Mary Ray claims that she helped wash the biology board, but that board is all of seven feet high and some people seem to doubt it.

General student opinions over the school seem to run some-thing like this, "Well we may not have gotten every scuff and smudge, but we sure had f u n trying!"

Faculty opinion, on the other hand, seemed to be "Thank heaven Clean-up Week is like Christmas-rand comes only once a year!"

Student Pride in JC Pathetic Student pride in JC is pathetic, and lack of interest

in extra-curricular activities has been reflected in the poor attendance of various college activities since the semester began.

Whatever the reason for this lack of pride and in-terest, it is not a situation that can be remedied in a day, a month, or even a year. However, it is a situation that MUST be remedied, and WILL be remedied.

JC is a small college, but it is growing at a rapid pace. I t is a young college; though it was founded in 1928, it didn't really get started until 1952, when it was moved from under the bleachers of the senior high school sta-dium to the present location.

Since then JC has been progressing rapidly; each student here can and should share in that progress and t ry to contribute to it. Today's students are in a sense "pioneers", as Dean Tom Fullerton recently pointed out.

Someday JC will be a much larger and better college than now, and it will have its share of traditions. Today's students will start those traditions.

Today's students will pave the way, perhaps un-knowingly, for those who follow.

A good example of this is the action of the present student board toward writing a new constitution or re-vising the present one, which has been amended only once since the college was founded to take into consider-ation the large increase in enrollment. ,

Many years from now very few JC students will know that the work of a few 1956 student leaders who

were anxious to do their part toward improving the col-lege resulted in a better constitution. Yet they will feel, the effect.

Years from now JC students will not know that in 1956 some students refused to cooperate with the ad-ministration by parking in the lot instead of on the grass, but they may wonder why the campus is not so pretty as some other colleges.

The pride exhibited by students who are now active in student affairs will result in a better college. The lack of pride others exhibit is a detriment to the college!

Editorially Speaking

The Lion Roars In the absence of fire drills,

students should be familiarized with fire laws and proper pro-cedures in case of fire at JC.

At the sound of the pre alarm, which is three rings of the school bell system, students should rise and leave the building without books, hats, or wraps. They should walk rapidly, but not run.

Certain students in each class should be designated to close all windows. Each classroom door should be closed by the last per-son to leave the room.

Students must walk at least 150 feet from the building before stopping.

College Enrollment Expected to Double

Enrollment in the nation's colleges will double by 1970, Dr. John E . Ivey, director of the higher education branch of the Southern Governors con-ference predicted recently.

He said that by 1970 more than 6,000,000 students will be enrolled in colleges in the United States.

Israel should be commended for the restraint she used in invading Egypt, not condemned for the "act of aggression", an authority on political and eco-nomic life in the Middle East said in an interview in Fort Smith recently. '

The authority was Dr. Ralph Kaplan of New York City, an education newspaperman who has spent 25 years in the Mid-dle East .

Explaining his statement, Dr . . Kaplan said, "That country could have used its full poten-tial of a quarter-million troops instead of only 3,000 men used in the recent Sinai invasion.' '

" Is rae l ' s 'agression', in the Sinai desert is the joke of the age , " he continued. "Israel was only fighting back forces that had raided her borders and kill-ed over 1,000 persons within the past year . "

Israel Performed Incision "Israel performed a minor

incision instead of a major operation," he laughed, using medical terms. " I t was the same as removing, the appen-dix ra ther than the head when someone is ill."

"Everyone in the Middle East knew that the Israeli invasion was coming," the thin, English-born authority continued. "Of course, he was quick to explain," not everyone knew the exact date and hour ," With the continued at tacks by maurauders f rom Egypt, it was, only natural that Israel finally became angered enough to resist forcefully, he added.

"All Israel wants is peace. When the threat of invasion by marauders was lessoned, Israel ha l t ed 4 its invasion. With its forces and military strategy, Israel could have wiped out* Egypt entirely."

If the money and equipment that has gone into the fighting and raiding in the Middle Eas t

had been put to peaceful use as f a rm equipment to build up an agriculturally-poor a r e a ? think of what could have been done, he said.

Kaplan 'Represents Appeal Dr. Kaplan was in Fort Smith

on behalf of the United Jewish Appeal, a group which is at-tempting to raise money to aid the agricultural work and to work toward peace in that area .

Between his trips to the Mid-dle East , the last one only a few months ago, Dr. Kaplan has served on the faculty of New York university.. He is presently a consultant for the International Human Relations studies at the university.

During one of his trips to Israel he founded a college in Tel Aviv and served as dean for several years. He grew up in England and received his education there and in the United States.

He writes a column, "Watch Your Language" which appears several t imes weekly in about 20 U. S. newspapers including the Dallas' Morning News and the Los Angeles Times. The column concerns human and international relations, as does most of his educational work.

While in the Middle Eas t he served as foreign correspond-ent for several English news-papers.

Bonfire Rally Slated Tonight

Urging the Lions on to their second win of the young season, a large group of students is ex-pected to be present for the bon-fire pep rally to be held on the campus tonight.

The pep band will play at the rally, and cheerleaders will lead the student body in yells for about 30 minutes.

Today has been designated as "Beat Hendrix Day, ' and students are being urged to wear "Beat Hendrix" cards, which may be obtained from pep squad mem-bers or Miss Lucille Speakman, dean of women.

The first bonfire pep rally of the year was held Tuesday night, following an appearance of the Lion team on television. They appeared on "Looking at Sports."

Individual members of the squad were introduced to the student body at the pep rally, and the band and the cheerleaders performed.

Bates, Angeletti Prove Assets

(Editor's note: ' The following are the first of a series of pro-files of the Lion squadmen. Others will come in later issues).

Don Bates and Charles Ange-letti are both assets to the JC basketball team.

Bates is the student manager of the team. A ^graduate of Fort Smith senior high school in 1955, he plans to attend Tulsa univer-sity or Arkansas State Teachers'

% college after completing this year at JC.

Although Bates didn't play basketball in high sch6ol, he did play with independent teams. He is now coaching a Lutheran junior high school team and plans to become a physical edu-cation instructor after completing his schooling.

Charles Angeletti will fill one of the guard posts this year, and also play forward occasionally. He is an 18-year-old freshman from Greenwood, where he let-tered three consecutive years in

basketball. ' After graduating from college,

Angeletti, who is 5' 101/2" tall, plans to become a teacher of economics and a coach.

The Lions started the game fast and held a 6-0 lead in the early stages of the game. Poteau caught up, however, and took the lead. At the half Poteau led 38-36. They kept the lead until Patterson put the Lions ahead 42-40, with a driving lay-up with' two minutes gone in the second half.

Poteau Goes Ahead . Poteau , gained a three-point

lead with about seven and a half minutes gone when Poteau for-ward Gene Kinney, who scored 16 points in the game, hit a field goal, The Buccaneers didn't score again for eight minutes and 51 seconds, but Charles Angeletti, Lew- Bennett, and John Wyatt each hit for two points.

Graham followed with a free throw and a jump shot. Bennett, Forest Khilling, John Wyatt, and Graham sank field goals to put the Lions ahead 70-59, before Poteau scored again. From then on it was JC's ball game.

Raymond Griffith led the Bucs with 23 points, and Gene Kinney followed with 16. Lew Bennett was the scoring leader for the Lions, followed closely by Pat-terson.

Three Poteau players, Cham-bers, Wilson, and Hughes, fouled out of the game. Chambers left via the foul route in the first ten minutes.

Offense Was Poor at Times "We've got a lot of work head

of us," Coach Charles stated. "The offense was poor set times, and the defense was off. i thought the rebounding was poor until, with about nine minutes to go in the game, they just decided to get those rebounds; then they started clearing the boards."

"Khilling and Lew Bennett were getting those rebounds, and Wyatt was too," he added.

Definitions of Various Names Prove Interesting, Unusual ' Shakespeare said, "What's in

a name?" Have you ever wondered from

where your name evolved? Most names derive from a word or phrase of a language. The basic languages that names come from are: Greek, Latin, French, Anglo-Saxon, Hebrew, and German.

Felix, for instance, means "the happy" while Mary means, "the bitter."

A few women's names and their meanings are: Alice, "the truth;" Carol, "to sing joyfully'" Clara, "the bright;" Doris, "mother of sea nyniphs;" Dale, "a valley;" Dinah, "the judged or the divine;" Dolores and Deloris, "grief and pain."

Names Mean Nobility The names Pat, Earl, and Sally

deal with nobility. P a t means "the noble;" Sally, -"princess;" and Earl, "noble man."

Some of the more popular men's names and their meanings are: Alan, "the comely and fair;" Andy, "the man;" Charles, "the strong and manly;" Clyde, "heard from afar;" Dan, "a judge;" Don-ald, "prince of the universe;" Gary, "spear wielder;" George, "earth worker;" and Henry, "the ruler cf private property."

Kenneth and Harold deal with military commanders. Kenneth means "commander" and Harold, "one in command of an army."

Other women's names include Edith, "the rich, prosperous, and happy;" Fay, "faith;" Gail, "to sing;" Helen, "to light;" Laura, "the laurel;" Linda, "the pretty;" Margaret, "a pearl;" Norma, "the normal;" Peggy, "a pearl;" and Ruth, "the compassionate." Names Mean "God is Gracious"

John and Joan both mean "God is gracious." In the case of one English ruler, King John, the name didn't fit the personality. In fact the English people hated John so much there has never been another English king named John.

More men's names are: Jack, "the supplanted" Larry, "the laurel;" Lee, "a meadow;" Mark, "a warrior;" Paul, "the little;" Ralph, "wolf council;" Ray and Rex, "king;" Richard, "the rich and hard;" Robert, "brigh in fame;" Stanley, "from the stony lea;" Thomas,-"a twin;" and Wil-liam, "resolute protector."

Kansas College Has Practical Course

Students of Kansas State Teacher's college at Pittsburg, Kan., may now enroll in a new, practical course, according to the Collegion, the school paper. Stu-dents now can take a course in parenthood, the paper said.

Club Collects Toys for Drive

Placing a barrel in the hall of the main building, the Circle K club has begun collecting toy's on the JC campus in con-nection with a city-wide "Toys for Tots" drive now underway, according to Lloyd Hurst, pub-licity chairman.

The club has also decided to aid Sebastian county in reach-ing its quota of blood donations. This was decided in a called meeting held in Tom Fullerton's room, Monday, -November 26.

Club members wishing to donate blood will go to the wel-fare building next week. Other persons wishing to d o n a t e blood may contact the Circle K club' for further information.

The "Toys for Tots" collect-ion is being made by the Fort Smith Marine reserve. Local f iremen will repair and paint the toys before they are dis-tributed to needy children in Fort fSmith at Christmas.

Students may bring .toys and put them in the barrel in the hall of the main building by the bulletin board.

Frosh Relieved As Tests (End

Upon completing the orienta-tion tests Tuesday morning, students at Fort Smith junior college breathed a sigh of relief.

The tests Consisted of the California Achievement test and the California test of Mental Maturity.

According to Tom Fullerton, test "administrator, they will help the faculty understand the student's potentialities as well as his deficiencies in certain fields.

The tests are to establish the student's reading, mathematics and language ability, as well as the student's mental matur-ity.

Fullerton also stressed the fact that these tests, are popular with oher colleges all over the coun-try.

Fullerton stated, "It w i l l make it possible for us to give information to any senior col-lege' the student might attend if requested by that college."

The tests will be a yearly event and will probably be giv-en the day before enrollment.

Methodist students at Arkansas State Teachers College will lead a campaign to raise $40,000 for the brick construction of a mod-ern brick Methodist Student Center on the campus.

Pep Band Plays At Bonfire Rally

Swinging the pep rally into ac-tion, the junior college pep band burst forth with a rousing march to stir the school spirit at the campus bonfire Tuesday night.

They will play at a pep rally tonight and a game tomorrow

night when the Lions meet Hen-drix college at Lavaca.

A special section will be topped off for the band at the games.
