Lei's Be Good Neighbors We have read and heard a lot about the good neighbor policy in the last few years. I,nt do we apply this policy in our school life? When we came off to college, people told us that we would have to adjust ourekes to living with a group of girls. They -.aid we would have to practice the "give and take" rule. It's a good time now to take an inventory of ourselves to see |f we have dune jusl that. The good neighbor policy involves a lot of little things that never cross our busy minds. It doesn't hurt us to check up here because a greal number of people judge us mi our daily courtesy and not our party i .inner.--.

Letters To The Editor To Some S. T. C. Girls: Last Saturday night your Student Government Council assumed a serious financial risk and went to great trouble to provide a pleasant evening for the Student Body. As everybody knows who was present a very considerable number of college girls crashed the party: and. informally attired danced a greater or shorter length of time And that despite the fact that every girl in the college could have attended at a reasonable price. For more than a score of years I hav« known S. T. C. girls, beginning in the Rec back in the early twenties. That ought to give you reason to believe that I know you girls. You have always been spirited and mischievous, considerate of others and yet always ready for a thrill. Cheap I would never have attributed to you as a characteristic; occasionally thoughUesa, res, but never cheap cheap I fully expect to see all the guilty PHI lies make full apology and recompense. Sincerely yours,
dance will be taken away. While we are on the subject of conduct we would like to discuss several other unpleasant situations which should be corrected. The behavior of a great many students in chapel and assembly is irreverent, unnecessary and discourteous At times last Thursday, it was almost impossible to hear the speaker, Dr. Lancaster, because of unnecessary noises In the auditorium. There is absolutely no excuse for young ladles to behave in this manner. We feel certain that if each student would take into consideration the noise she makes combined with that of seven hundred others she would realize that it makes it very difficult for the speaker and for those who are trying to listen. This also applies to student* traveling to and from school who insist upon singing unlady-llke songs to the disgust of the other passengers and to the disgrace or STC.
