Charles Mundell, president of the Mortar and Pestle, called the meeting to order and briefly dis- coursed the history and signifi- cance of National Pharmacy Week. Mrs. Evans, Alachua County Field Commander for the Na- tional Cancer Society, presented a very interesting talk on cancer, the theme of national pharmacy week.

Put The Shoe Where It Fits! The Tallahassee Democrat, a daily newspaper pub- lished in the state capital, outdid itself last Tuesday in de- Voting its full editorial column to a condemnation of the stand taken by the Unievrsity's student body on coeduca- tion as explained in an editorial which appeared in last week's ALLIGATOR. Said the ,Democrat, "Anyway, .the boys down at the University of Florida learn to make use of lots of words to outline a position, but they've not yet learned the art of concealing motives." The Democrat is correct in its appraisal of our abili- ties and lack :of ability-we are a mere 7,300 males of whom over 5,000 are veterans of World War II-we are, however, still too young, too naive and too idealistic to possess motives which need concealment. We are young, foolish schoolboys with just enough sense to realize that this state, which cannot adequately house us at this University-which cannot meet our teach- ing needs, and which cannot supply us with enough class- room space, is not in a position to create a second Uni- versity. The Democrat editorial goes on to imply that Univer- sity students are mere "stooges" of those with interests in Gainesville. The editorial, however, ignores the fact that University students only several weeks ago were most bit- ter and highly aroused over a -series of taxes passed by the Gainesville City Commission. Also they ignore the fact that such student leaders as Student Body President Harry Parham, President-Elect John Crews, Florida Blue Key President Paul Rogers and Student Body Vice Presi- dent Jack Lucas come from Tampa, Macclenny, Fort Lau- derdale and Jacksonville, respectively and certainly have no interest in the future of Gainesville as such. These students, however, are interested in the contin- ued growth of a great state university and are unalterably opposed to the tearing down of our facilities or of meas- ures which will put a "foot in the door" towards that end. Twisting the actual stand we have taken, the Demo- crat's editorialist inferred that the University "boys" ac- tually do not favor coeducation if it means having it at FSCW. We reiterate that this is not true. The University's student government is on record as fa- voring coeducation here and at Tally provided both insti- tutions retain their present status-the University of Flor- ida a university-the Florida State College for Women a college; and further provided that coeducation will not bring about a duplication of present departments. "If changing the name of FSCW to Florida State Col- lege will cause the- University boys to be satisfied with coeducation here," says the Tallahassee Democrat, "that's all right." Now let's put the shoe where it fits-rather than charg- ing us with sectional and local interests as a backdrop for our position on this issue, let the Tallahassee Democrat explain why, despite the above statement-despite the fact that all concerned knew our position on another state university, the House Education Committee yesterday re- ported favorably on a coeducation bill which would des- ignate FSCW as Florida State University. Looks to us like local interests are at work on their home grounds. INVEST! YrS-TI ST AT I ON -- L By Les Gleichenhaus IT'S A SIN-THIS SINBAD-THE SAILOR, THAT IS-Swashbuck- ling mis-adventures on land and sea, along with not so absorbing romance, are enacted in "Sinbad the Sailor". Sinbad, the seafaring ad- venturer whose seven voyages are graphically described in the Arabian Nights, here undertakes an eighth voyage, every bit as exciting as a coke at Canova's. The fabulous treasure of Alec the Great- is Sinbad's goal in this voyage. The powerful and wealthy Emir of Daibul also has designs on this treasure, and proves to be a worthy foe of the intrepid adventurerer. In the entourage of the Emir is Shireen, a beautiful ad- venturess, whose charms so completely intrigues the' aging Sinbad that he abducts her. Though loving her intensely he doesn't trust her as far as he could throw the Emir's elephant. So iif it rains this week- end this would be a good place'to come out of the rain and waste a few hours with your date (Hmmmm ? ? ?). CHASING SQUIRRELS ACRiOSS THE PLAZA OF THE AMER- CAS-Have you seen the new men's pajamas now shown at Wilson's here in' town?

Winners Are Finally Certified After a long-drawn-out squabble which-never should have occurred in the first place, the Executive Council last week, by a vote of nine to three, certified all the winners of the recent student body election. Now, at least, the threat of- student government elimi- nating itself is a thing of the past. It will be interesting, however, to watch the develop- mefits as a student body president presides over an Exec- utive Council which is composed overwhelmingly of oppo- sition party members. Whether or not the Council will allow politics to rear its ugly head and attempt to stymie legislation proposed by the new President,, remains to be .seen.

But their outburst had very little effect on us way up here-in the hills of Tallahassee. You see,. Mr. Parham said nothing that he hadn't said before. The Legisla- ture, from what all the members I've talked to said, understood him to say just what the Flambeau and I quoted. If he was misunder- stood, it was by more than just us, and we're still fighting it. EMPTY DESKS will be much in evidence with so many of our fair coeds heading south for the week- end. Only teacher I know of -who- isn't objecting is the Marriage-and: Family professor, who considers it laboratory work for the course. Imagine getting academic credit for Spring Frolics. PAN HELL WEEK must have- been a great success jtidging by- the number of people falling asleep in classes Monday. Dean Hudbson sounded very. good and the floor was crowded but not sardine style: Every once in a while you could move against the current. of the mob. MY SOLEMN PROMISE not to ever mention serenades again. Not after the hundreds that took place last week-end. At one time we could hear six groups singing, "We are the Boys, etc." and on into the night. Reprinted from the May, 1947 issue iof EsquiRm Copyright 1947 by Esquire. Inc.

University Ave. Gainesville, Florida I HE FLORIDA ALLIGATOR Letters To The Editor 2 Student Tells Of Stolen Equipment Dear Morty:: Between 8 and 10 p. m., Wednesday, April 23rd, approximately $45.09F worth of text books and drawing instruments were stolen from the book racks placed in the stairwell of the library for the convenience of the students. The lifting of such a large amount seems to indicate the need for money, and theft for resale, whioh makes it more serious than such things as short-changing the newspaper boxes, stealing Stevens' apples, cheating on tests, and the like. However, they are all bound to ,the principle of honesty and to our Student Honor System, We all lost if these fail. Stealing text books, like stealing wallets, invokes greater hardship than does some other types of theft perhaps. Wallets usually contain valuable, sometimes irreplaceable papers and personal articles of no monetary value at all and of interest only to the owner. Text books and notebooks invariably contain notes, references, underlinings, etc. which represent many hours of study and work and which can't be done again. I, for one, can't quite see the necessity for such thefts on campus, especially if the thief isn't an outsider. If a person gets desper- ately in need of funds, surely he can turn to friends, or, if not, there) are other resources. So, as one of the victims of the above little incident, I'd like I use the GATOR'S letter column to, if possible, let the person respo sible known that I'd be glad to help him out if he'll only bring mr , books back. I'm low on funds myself, but I think I can scrape up a l much as he could get for them elsewhere, maybe more. Besides, if . tries to sell them "elsewhere" he just might run into trouble. He call find me at the address in the books or any day over at the cafeteria working at one of the cash registers. With many thanks .. V Very Truly Yours, R. S.

The bracket winners have been decided in three of the four frames with the fourth still depending on one game. Bracket One Undecided The bracket still in doubt is the number one set with the SPE'S and Theta Chi still in the running vith three wins and no losses each. The winner of this game vill definitely enter the semi-fi- nals from that bracket. Other eams in that bracket and their records are PGD 2-2; SX 1-2; CP 1-3 and DX 0-3. Number two bracket seems to e a certainty with the SAE's he probable winner as they sport 4-0 record with the winless rEP's as their only possible tumbling block. The ATO's have 3-1 record, Kappa Sig's 2-2; IG 2-2; PKP 1-3; and TEP 0-4. Phi Delts Favored The third frame is a sure bet or the Phi Delts to come through with the right for the semi-final berth 'from this bracket. They lave three wins with no defeats vhile the Sigma NU's have drop- ped one tilt in three games. Oth- rs in this bracket are PKT 2-2; ETR 0-12; and DS 0-2. The bottom frame is definitely decided with Delta Tau Delta, pre- ourney favorites sporting a 3-0 record with one remaining game with the PLP. LCA has dropped ne game, that to the Delts, and hey have annexed two wins, The PLP have 0-2.; PKA 1-2, KA 1-2. Tourney Weather Favorable The tournament has been going ff smoothly, with plenty of help rom the weather. No team has had an easy time in its bracket ith' some games lasting as long .s eleven innings, such as the Pikes' win over the Pi Lams 10-5 n eleven frames. The pitching has been excep- ionally good with such hurlers as Tommy Taylor of Delta Tau )elta, Buster Nigels of SAE, Al .indgram of Phi Delta Theta and a host of other fireball pitchers. There is very little doubt that he caliber of play is far above he pre-war days both in pitch- ng and hitting. This is evident ince many of the hurlers from ast year's winning teams have een having plenty of trouble winning this year. Most of the games have been well attended nd there is little doubt that the emi-finals pitting the winners of rackets one-four and .brackets wo-three together will draw a ice crowd to watch the fire- orkhs. 8 THE FLORIDA ALLIGATOR EngiUne.ers ,AIN& Methodists Will Present Funnite The Wesley Foundation, Metho- dist student organization, will pre- sent its Foundation Funite of Forty-Seven Tuesday night, May at 6:30 p.m. in the chapel at Roux Street on UniVersity Avenue, just across from the Law Building.

Tally Paper Scores 'Gator The TALLAHASSEE DEMO- CRAT scored the ALLIGATOR Tuesday for its stand on the co- education issue, contending that "the boys down at the University of Florida learn to make use of a lot of words to outline a position, but they've not learned the art of concealing motives." The charges are answered in an editorial to- day. For several weeks the FSCW FLAMBEAU has -devoted edito- rial space to criticism of the Flor- ida student body stand, as repre- sented by heads of student gov- Sernment and the ALLIGATOR. Parham, John Crews, student body president-elect; Paul Rogers, president of Florida Blue Key; Dave Hedrick, president of Phi Delta Phi, and Morty Freedman, editor of the ALLIGATOR, spent Monday and Tuesday in Tallahas- see outlining the student body's position to the legislators.
