Senate Action
Changes Date
Of Yearbook
A yearbook change started by ir¬
ritation of the Student Senate about
the Entre Nous situation, came out
of the Senate meeting last week.
A resolution was made that, ao of
the Fall semester, 1961, the Entre
Nous will be published covering a
complete school year, rather than
the Spring and Fall of the same
year.
SEE EDITORIAL, page 2
Highlights of Spring 1951, are
to be included in the 1951-52 edi¬
tion of the Entre Nous. A require¬
ment made about the assistant edi¬
tor is that he must be enrolled in
the Fall session when the . Entre
Nous is due to come out
This rule was made so that the
assistant editor could have full re¬
sponsibility for the publication of
the edition' in the probable case
that the editor graduated in the
Spring.
Also in the meeting the budget,
which was proposed by the treas¬
urer of the Student body last week
was accepted.
Here's The Kickoff!

seen it, the television set above is the new one in the Periodical room, and the students are watching a pro¬

B'ham Symphony Plays Santa —
Howard Students Offered
Season Tickets For $3.50
Seven 'Dogs
On All-Dixie
If the Howard Bulldogs are as
well represented in the All-Dixie
campaign this year as they were
last, then we'll have a whole host
of “All" men.
Here’s to let you know and be
proud: the Red and Blue placed
seven men on the AIl-DIxle Con¬
ference mythical All-star team.
On the ’first string Howard was
represented by Bobby Bowden,
quarterback, Howard Foote, end;
and John Wade, tackle.
Our second string candidates
were Charlie Maze, guard; Carl
Roberts, and Thomas Cutcliffe,
back; and George Pappas, back.
Quite a delegation from. a school
that offers no football scholarships,
isn't it? Let's hope the 1951 edition
of the Bulldogs can do as well for
themselves, and for Howard.
Two hundred season tickets for
concerts sponsored by the Birming¬
ham Symphony Orchestra Associa¬
tion are available for Howard stu¬
dents at $3.50 a ticket.
The ticket will be good for seften
musical programs slated by the as¬
sociation for the coming season.
Anthony Raisis, , Howard faculty
member who belongs to the associa¬
tion. stated that a payment plan
has been worked out for those not
desirous of paying the entire
amount in cash. He said -that $2.50
can be paid now and the other dol¬
lar in January.
Guest artists slated to perform
Ate Eleanor Steber, Alec Templeton,
Artur Rubinstein. Elena Nikolaldi.
Carroll Glenn and Eugene List.
Raisis pointed out that the re¬
duced prices are for balcony seats,
and orchestra seats could be ob¬
tained at regular prices at the
symphony office.
Nell Turner. Howard student, is
handling the sale of tickets at How¬
ard.
Notices will be posted when and
where tickets may be bought.
Frosh Respond To First Impression' Query
"Pardon us." we said, sharpening
a pencil and flipping through our
note books for a clean sheet of pa¬
per. “are you a freshman?"
We were off on a tour to satisfy
our curiosity— and put In a good
word for Howard If necessary—
about what some of the freshmen
thought about Howard after a few
weeks orientation.
As one staff member put it. when
a high school graudate makes plans
to enter that great new adventure
called college, he has wanderings,
speculations, and expectations about
it
All of, us have had this experi¬
ence along this line.
Then when that person becomes
a freshman and begins adjusting
himself to the realities of his new
situation and environment he finds
some things be expected are true,
some are not. and somethings are
there which he hadn’t expected at
«11.
That’s why we were off to collect
some of the frosh reactions to the
life and routine here.
’Although their responses were
varied, almost ail emphasized their
Joy at finding an unusual “friendli¬
ness'' among the students and fac¬
ulty members.
Jan is Ann Clark from the Azalea
City of Mobile, said the Howard
atmosphere helps a new student to
“fit in with everybody." She said
her only disapproval was that How-
ward "shouldn't be on a hill." This
is natural, though, since Jan is Ann
h^ls from the bayou country of
South Alabama.
A freshman from Phenix City,
Hugh Spruel, remarks that he sees
"nothing wrong with Howard." He
especially likes the fact that "there
are so many good-looking girls at¬
tending.”
“I like the religious atmosphere."
volunteers Sara Atherton of Union
Springs. She suggested, however,
that “registration be made simpler.”
Jo Ann Dean wishes that there
would be mail service on Saturday
afternoons." (That's Uncle Spm's
idea. Jo Ann, not Howard's.). /
'She favors the nuclear curriculum
because it ‘‘helps an undecided stu¬
dent select courses in a way that
he will not have to suffer later by
losing hours. Her first Impression

SOME PATTER ABOUT rain:
It can rain more in less time
here than most anywhere we know.
Have you ever come up the front
steps (from Second Avenue) when
it was raining? Try it, and you'll
learn what it’s like going up a wa¬
terfall. The experience will be han¬
dy if you're reincarnated as a sal¬
mon.
Don't know why, bur no worms
came out when we had the Mon¬
day downpour. Maybe it was too
much even for them.
A BIG FAT ALARM clock sat
on a table in the library, facing
Gwen Commander.
We jumped nervously at every
sound, expecting it to go “Claaang!"
any minute.
Finally curiosity ‘overcame cour¬
tesy. so we strolled over to ask
“Why. huh?" Wasn't as alarming as
you might think — she was reading
literature and had to keep check
of the hours she read.
A TURTLE-NAPPER was on the
prowl Renfroe Sunday night Some¬
one “turtle-napped" Dot Amos' pet
turtle, and left a ransom note de¬
manding 50.000 pounds in gold or
the turtle would die.
Obviously remorse gnawed at the
right spot on the Snatcher, because
she found him outside her door
the next morning.
A CHANGE HAS BEEN made in
the schedule of the Ladies Chorus.
Girls are invited to meet in Riley
Annex at 2 Monday and Wednesday.
A third meeting will be scheduled
for either Thursday or Friday of
each week, according to the wishes
of the majority. •
