Herndo o r said the original p--rpose of th legislature was to make all de e - cisions concerning the use of th s ( activity fund and to act as an ad- visory board. He stated that th s ( legislature, not the faculty, shout f decide upon trips taken by stu- dents and the distribution of fund e : thereof. -1. Herndon questioned the justifi- t cation of using student funds for 1 scholarships. He felt this was the _ responsibility of the administra- tion. He claimed it was not a func- a tion of the student legislature to _ support academic activities. How- 1 ever, if the students pay for these 1 scholarships, should the adminis- tration be the only ones to screen r applications? Herndon claimed that the per- , centage budget system now be - s ing used by the legislature alsc contributed to its decrease in pow- ers. Under the new budget system he felt that each department re- ?. ceiving money should submit a ! budget of its expenses to the legis- - lature, thus accounting for the ex- penditures. - ) - - - \Something New Every Day\ ; Travel Right with the new .

A major problem to professional baseball executives, it is by no means a new one around Eastern; nor, for that matter, is baseball the only sport here at Eastern that is lack- ing in student support. But if last year is any indication of the at- tendance to be expected this spring, then baseball is certainly first in line for a much needed boost from the students. We counted heads at a couple of ballgames last year, a feat easily accomplished without the aid of a tabulator. Our first count total- ed out 75 fans, at the second game, 50 eager Eastern boosters. There are colleges around the nation get- ting almost as many students into telephone booths. Included in our count at the sec- ond game — incidentally, it hap- pened to be perfect baseball wea- ther that afternoon—was a group of pre-high school age kids, who were interested in chasing sou- venir foul balls then watching the game; a group of Cobb Field main- tenance men; a half dozen or so American Legion ball players, who were killing time before they re- ported to practice; and an off duty policeman. A dismal repre- sentation for any college function and one that Eastern students can be ashamed of. A major point: these two games were by no means exceptions — excluding the last Rocky - Eastern meeting, student attendance was miserable all sea- son. It should be reasonably appar- ent that the situation deserves the strict attention of the students and administrators. Not only do sports activities suffer from this lack of student interest but the whole college program is bound to lose Where a Personal Interest Is Taken in Your Car COMPLETE WINTERIZING SERVICE WILBER'S Rimrock Service 1224 N. 27th Phone 9-3618 Battery Tune-up Service N —S . . by G. T. GUENIN out. There is not a simple sure- fire answer, but just some genuine interest from both student and administrator could certainly im- prove this sore spot. Here is a word of caution for all the would-be Palladins and Matt Dillons here at Eastern—the fast-draw craze has killed or wounded at least six persons in Montana since the first of the year while they were trying to out-draw their favorite western, TV heroes. The fast-draw fad has swept across the country right along with the hula-hoop, and while the hoop shaking pastime has taken its toll of strained muscles and dislocated joints, the would-be gunmen are following close behind their western forefathers with grave-stones as testimony to their little game. An editorial in the Montana Sports Outdoors maga- zine compares the \Drug Store Gun-Slingers,\ quaint game to Russian Roulette. Clubs have been organized where the addicted lea- ther-slapper can shoot with rea- sonable safety. Using electronic timing devices and wax-bullets, a clumsy Wyatt Earp has nothing more than a powder burn to worry about, instead of a hospital va- cation or lawsuit. Some of you gun happy cowboys might be able to out-draw Gabby Hayes, but try to remember that your friends can't outrun your misplaced shots. Eastern baseball coach had a \who's on first\ situation facing them last week—the initial spring turnout for baseball produced 12 hardball hopefuls, a closer check showed the coach that he had five didates—they all claimed to be pitchers—and the other seven can- short stops. . . .
