POMPANO BEACH, Fla, Feb.
23.-If the early response is a
dependable criterion. the people
Of Pompano Beach will give the
Senators back to the people Of
Washington with reluctance.
They are pouring out in
amazing numbers to watch the
team work out, and they are
swapping up tickets for the ex-
hibition games.
When the pitchers and catch
ers opened training yesterday
at Municipal Field, they per-
formed before a gathering OF
more than 400 townfolk. That's

Manager Ed Doherty, referring
to the Red Sox spring camp.

Star Players
Arriving Early
For Training
BY the Associated Press

Although the spring training
season is Just starting, veteran
ball players apparently can't
wait to get into camp-where
the meals may be skimpy for
overweight athletes, but they're
free.
Among yesterdays early ar
rivals were Willie McCovey,
who reported with the first
contingent Of the Giants at
Phoenix although he's not due
until Monday, and Brooks Rob-
inSon Of the Orioles.
Robinson, seven pounds over
weight, Is one Of 10 Oriole in

McCOvey Watching Weight
McCovey, rookie Of the year
in 1859, wants to keep his
weight at the present 202
pounds. He was one Of IA
Giants who reported to their
new manager, AL Dark. Pitch

Prospects for YankS
Two Of the top rookie pros
poets in the Yankees camp
aren't expected to make the
team this year unless they can
show enough to catch on as
regulars. Pedro Speedy Con-
Zazles. a 22-year-old second
baseman, has lived up to his
impressive minor league record
so far. but he probably will
wind up with the Richmond
farm club, where he can play
every day. His camp roommate,
Catcher Jesse Gonder, is more
or less in the same position.

hall is unhappy about the deal
that sent him to the Athletics.
He claims Cincinnati General
Manager Bill Dewitt promised
he'd be with the Reds this

After reading the letters
concerning the tremendous
school spirit at Northwood
and Wheaton, I shall put in
a word about Calvin Coolidge
High.
For the last 20 years, Heel
and Tie Day" and Orange
and Gray Day" have been
traditions. Although we have
deep pride and respect for
our athletic teams, We pride
our high academic standing
also.
Since we have shown our
administrators how mature
and trustworthy we are, we
are allowed to smoke in our
huge beautiful stadium. That
brings up another subject:
The men who work so hard
to keep CCHS clean should
be saluted for their fine work.
AS for school spirit, Of all
the schools in Washington,
Calvin Coolidge always sup
ports its team vigorously.
From baseball to tennis,
Coolidgites stand sternly be-
hind their teams.
On the extra curricular
activities scene, we boast
highly of our Sc clubs. So all

What I propose is that the

gated to vote as his home
room dictates. This would
not be as time-consuming as
1t might sound, since our
Student Council is able to
spend about Is minutes on

consequently, almost all i'm
portant legislation is tabled.
OF course, there is. always
the exceptional bill that must
be passed right away; to
cope with this, my plan In
cludes an escape clause by
which a two-thirds majority
vote of the Student Council
would enable q bin to be
passed Immediately. At the
present time, an amendment
to Northwood's Student
constitution is being consid-
cred which would incorpo-
rate my plan and would give
those who oppose our Stu
dent Council a chance to
change it in accordance to
what they want.

It seems to me that the
once intelligent and logical
discussion on the effective
ness of a good student gov
ernment has turned into q
battle of the schools" Ev-
eryone is writing in to tell
everyone else whose school
is best. Where is this getting
us? Don't most people feel
that his school is the best;
that his school has the most
spirit; that his school has
this; that his school has
that?
But does this constant and
petty pickering help US to
exchange ideas or help each
other in the formation Of a
good student government?
We're just trying to condemn
each other. and, in the long
run, getting very little done.
We should all realize that
this is not o subject to fight
about.
I think that perhaps there
are several ways q student
government can function.
Although the ways may be
different from one another,
the important thing is the
result. If the student gov
ernment has encouraged
school spirit, trained leaders,
aided faculty student rela-
tionships and supported the
student body and the school
in their ideas. ideals and
rights, 1 think we will agree
It has served its purpose.

relationship between this and
the giving of blue ribbons for
first prize at fairs?-Mrs. Flor
ence Moe, Wauwatosa, Wis.
A. Your two" questions seem
to have become three-.but they
are good ones.
First, the Dan" In Dan
Cupid" is not so much a name
as a title. Comparable to the
Spanish "don," it was used as
an honorific in the early days
Of English writing and meant
"Sir" or master" Among the
memorable lines or our early
literature are these Of Spenser,
saluting his most eminent
predecessor:
dan Chducer, peH OF
English undetiled
On Fame'S eternal be1droH
Worthy to be tiled."
Second, the phrase blue
chip stock" does seem to have
come from the chips used in
gambling games like poker.
These chips or counters range
in value from red (cheapest)
through white to blue (most
valuable-usually worth 10
times the red). So a blue
chip" stock is one likely to
give the greatest return on an
investment.
Third, there is no direct con-
nection between blue chips and
blue ribbons-but the color
blue has traditionally been
associated with eminence in all
fields Of endeavor. Perhaps
because the blue skies . were
