Pafje 3
May Banquet
Club Announces Spring Plans
Ii you don't agree that
business destroys individuality
maybe it's because you're an
individual.
vide things Bell telephone companies need.
Because communications are changing fast,
these needs are great and diverse.
Being involved with a system that helps
keep people in touch, lets doctors send car-
diograms across country for quick analysis,
helps transmit news instantly, is demand-
ing. Demanding of individuals.
If your ambition is strong and your abili-
ties commensurate, you’ll never be truly
happy with the status quo. You’ll seek
ways to change it and—wonderful feeling!—
some of them will work.
Could be at Western Electric.
There’s certain campus talk that claims
individuality is dead in the business world.
That big business is a big brother destroy-
ing initiative.
But freedom of thought and action, when
backed with reason and conviction’s cour-
age, will keep and nurture individuality
whatever the scene: in the arts, the sciences,
and in business.
Scoffers to the contrary, the red corpus-
cles of individuality pay off. No mistake.
Encouraging individuality rather than
suppressing it is policy in a business like

Uniforms Received
By Campus Police
Campus sedUrity policemen got
a new look recently when they
were issued their new uniforms.
The smart blue uniforms have
more than a decorative purpose
as Gene Carpenter, director of
traffic and security pointed out.
“Besides looking good the uni-
forms help the officers to be
recognized and distinguished
from city policemen," he said.
Mr. Carpenter said he was very
pleased with the parking situation
at Lamar. He said the students
were cooperating in parking in
the areas assigned to them. “I
would like to remind the students
of the importance of leaving the
fire lanes clear at night as well
as during the day, said Carpenter.
“In case of fire or other emer-
gency these lanes are the only
free access to the college, "he
added.
Mr. Carpenter said there had
been some confusion by Brooks-
Shivers residents about where
they can park. He pointed out
that residents of these dorms are
free to park in the Educational
Services parking lot, the baseball
stadium lot, as well as parking
lot 5, and reminded students not
to park in the lot adjacent to
Brooks which is reserved for
dormitory employees.
“We are on campus for the ben-
efit of the students and we urge
students to call on us with their
problems. We are even equipped
to help out with stalled cars and
other minor auto troubles," added
Mr. Carpenter.
