HE DIRTY WINDOWS are the

the windows in University
SL Business
Board Joins
U.S. Bureau
The Student Legislature's Bet-
ter Business Board has become
affiliated with the National Bet-
ter Business Bureau on a trial
basis.
The Board, whose main pur-
pose has been to help guard stu-
dents against phony solicitors, will
now receive information from the
national firm telling of frauds and
misdealings going on in this area.
Also available to the Board,
which changed its name from the
Better Business Bureau to avoid
confusion with the national asso-
ciation, will be a central registry
of bonded publishing companies.
"Under the new setup we should
be able to cut down quite appreci-
ably the number of frauds on stu-
dents by magazine and encyclo-
pedia solicitors," Jim Nesbitt,
'51BAd, chairman of the Board
explained.
Approved solicitors will now be
able to identify themselves by let-
ters of introduction from the
Board. Formerly, registration
cards were granted to solicitors
merely upon application to SL.

At that time, in any economy
move, the men on this crew had
to be assigned to other jobs.
Since December dirt has collect-
ed on windows all over the cam-
pus, but a quick survey revealed
that the new school of Dirty
Window art has reached its
highest point of development in
he Monroe St. skyscraper.
Written on a number of, the
indows were "I am dirty. Wash
le." One Rembrandt sketched a
ower pot, complete with flowers
L it. Another student took the
pportunity to even a score, by
cpressing his opinion about a
articular professor.
NONE OF THE student artists
Auld be found to comment, but
ie opinion, of the other students
2 the school seems to be split as
the value of the window scrib-
ings.
"It isn't in keeping with the
ay a college student should con-
uct himself," Reinhold Batzer,
iBAd, said. "It's below even
hat a normal person would do.
[ust be some. kind of repression
oming out."

"I would have done some writing
myself except that the windows
were all scribbled up."
Whatever the ideas of the stu-
dents on the subject, the dirt seems
to be on the windows of the Uni-
versity to stay-at least until after
July 1, when the new fiscal year
starts.
Custodians in the campus build-
ings have been able to wash some
windows, after finishing their re-
'gular chores, the Plant Depart-
ment official said, but they don't
have time to wash them all.
"If they give us enough money
next year, we'll wash the windows.
Otherwise they'll just have to stay
dirty."

The plot of "The Recruiting
Officer" is concerned basically
with the efforts of two army
men, Captain Plume and Ser-
geant Kite, to recruit men for
the Queen's service. Since the
two will do anything to get men,
complications quickly ensue,
upon their arrival in Shrews-
bury, the English town in which
the play is set.

of the play are two love affairs,
one between Captain Plume and
Sylvia, a young native of the
town; the other involving two
young people of the town, Worthy
and Melinda.
The production is being directed
by Warren Pickett. The two sets
of lovers will be played by Dana
Elcar and Sonya Raimi as Cap-
tain Plume and Sylvia, and Jerry
Lepard and Joyce Edgar as Wor-
thy and Melinda. Kite will be
played by Strowan Robertson.
