Berry as principal speaker. Last week the Clariosophic pres ident appointed Merchant as a com mittee of one (at his suggestion that a committee be appointed) to be responsible for notifications be ing placed on bulletin boards throughout the campus. Merchant, apparently living in the past when executive orders could be frowned upon with im punity overlooked the order. To his amazement, however, the contrary dawned upon him when treasurer Lloyd Haselden handed him his re ceipt for the amount in full. As an excuse for his delinquency Epting asserted that because he was catching a cold Monday night (the night before the meeting) he thought it advisable not to expose himself to the rigors of this south ern climate. Since he was in per feit physical condition at the meet ing, however, the society failed to accept his reasons and voted that he pay the cost of the mimeo graped announcements, distributed at the last minute by other Clario members. President Bell then asserted that he would force delinquent members to pay 'till it hurts in a drive to cut down inefficiency in the society.
