The typical procedure is to belt the hapless sphere with all the force of the contestant. The ball first bounds off the wall, hitting the ceil ing with a resounding crash and then caroms off the chandelier and back onto the table. We think that the table is used in starting the game with the contestants on either end. After that only the net is needed for as long as the ball is on your side it is legal to swing at it, hitting anything in reach such as spectators, opponents, self or even I l THOUGH a good athlete is satisfied to know that he has! “ the “ u l e s '\ t h r o w f t e done the very best he can, it is even more gratifying t o . racquet at the opponent with intent SOMETHING TO WORK FOR / ¡ c b o A l t U e . G a m b u t i know that his superiors and colleagues think so, too. Here at WMCE to show appreciation to outstanding athletes, it is the custom to present them with what is called a blanket award. The blanket, which is the highest award given, may be secured by the athlete earning four letters in one sport or a total of seven letters in the major sports; it is given only to graduates. Recently honored at a special pep assembly were Dan Boka, Dale Tash, A1 Fidler, and Rayburn Thompson. Each blanket w ith, its black background and huge orange “M” in the center, had at each corner the name of the different sports the athlete partici pated in, along with an orange stripe for each letter he received in the sport. All Athletes are eligible for this award, if they are willing to work for it. And when they finally get their blankets they’ll find they were worth the effort. JACK CARRIGER.

We 'believe the game got its name from the “ping” of the ball as A1 Weeks makes a slashing drive and the dull “pong“ as Ed Durkin misses the ball and hits his nose. The game is often slowed up for fifteen minutes at a time as a wild drive lands in Dan Connor’s mid riff. It takes considerable time to dig the ball out of his spare tire be fore the game can go on. (We also heard that Dan has to beat off the admirers since he had his “spare tire” tatooed to look like a money belt.) Bud Malee acts as Bookie, I mean Registrant for the daily tournament. The current favorites seem to be Osborne, Weeks, and Harrison, with A1 Clark a black sheep, I mean dark horse, contestant. Our most con sistent player is Ed Durkin with the record of fifteen losses in as many starts. The spectators however seem to think that Helen Karlock displays the 'best form. There is one person who is an noyed with the game. He is in the form of Joe Doohan who has to wait ’till wee hours of the morn for the contestants to drop wearily in their tracks with exhaustion, carry them up to their respective sacks, and then return to the scene to mop the floor. Waiting for the enthusi- j asts to give up for the night is a i tedious task for Joe, b u t he just curls up in his scrub bucket and lets the rhythmic crash-bang of the ball lull him to sleep. Students Petition Governor Bonner The following petition signed by a large majority of the students at Western was submitted through channels to Governor Bonner last week. “The Honorable John W. Bonner Governor of Montana State Capitol Helena, Montana. “Dear Governor Bonner: “We, the undersigned students of Western Montana College of Educa tion, do respectfully petition for the acquirement by the College of the Robert Watson tract of land, ap proximately eleven acres. “It is the only remaining unde veloped area adjoining the campus. Additional space is needed now to provide development of recreational and sports areas. “In the future it will provide building sites within reach of the present central heating system. “Since our present campus con tains approximately fourteen acres, we believe that this purchase is nec essary in order to be consistent with modern, intelligent planning requir ing adequate space for educational institutions.” Residence Halls Has Halloween Party A pajama party in the women’s dormitory began at 8:30 last night when upperclasswomen spooks and witches escorted the rest of their dorm sisters through darkened cor ridors to the dungeon of Halloween spirits. After a thorough round of chill- thrills the girls took part in games and circle dancing in the recreation hall. Refreshments of cider and doughnuts followed face washings obtained in bobbing for apples. PROFESSIONAL DIRECTORY H. A. STANCHFIELD, M. El Physician and Surgeon Phone 36-W—36-J BELLS, BELLS . . . Oh, why m ust the bell ring so loud ly at seven And wake me from my sleeping heaven? My dreams are shaken with fright When I peep from the window to see daylight. I sleepily trudge through the day. “Tonight I’ll sleep,” I sternly say. The day rushes by; I hurry to finish my work by eleven. I hop into bed and close one eye, But before I know it, it’s the bell and seven! —By Rosemary Morse. DORM LIFE By Bette Morgan In some dormitories the rooms are like cells but to us here at WMCE they are home. Rules tough? What are we re quired to do here that Mom would not insist on, were we home? Our rooms show our personalities, background, and ambition. On Sat urday a passerby can hear beds, desks, and dressers changing posi- ’ tion. Some of us purchased rugs, paper j drapes, and pictures to make it | home. One girl has covered one wall with paper drapes, and by this she j makes her room an outstanding one., Shaggy rugs are popular. Many I brought fuzzy animals for company, j When I go home again I’ll m iss: the bells most of all. No alarm j clock was ever so effective. Some like them; some don’t. I think dorm life is summed up in one girl’s experience which she re lated upon returning from the week end. She said she was lost when she woke up at home rather than the Dorm. “I actually missed my room and friends,” she said. GEO. L. ROUTLEDGE, M. D.
