"Muse In University Cornerstone"
The first issue of the MUSE for 1952-53 has been enclosed in
the cornerstone of the new Memorial University of Newfoundland
laid at Churchill Park by Chancellor the Right Honourable Viscount
Rothermere on October 9th.
The first issue of the MUSE was enclosed along with copies
of two other St. John's papers commemorating the event.
Thus our institution of Twirp week may be discussed two thousand years hence, and people may wonder what fiendish creature
was that Mudpuppy person who told all secret tales. The romances
of a few of our friends will at least be preserved for posterity in
the Corner Stone.
Mr. Alex Powell's sports predictions, are of course, suitable to any
generation, especially that part about (quote)" .... the Dodgers
will sew up the series in five or six games . . . and will handle the
Yankees with . . . great ease!" We will admit that this is a possible occurrence sometime before, say 2400 A.D.!
Mr. Brown, our new philosophy professor, who is 'profile of
the week' will also be immortalized along with the Arts and Science
society, the pre-meds and the 'U. U. Report'!
The moral of this story is that you always stand a chance oi
gaining fame when you write for the Muse, so why not put your inspiration to work and have yourself dug up in a few thousands years and
examined by scientists from Mars . . . pardon me, your writings 1
mean.

Tucker And Gushue Star At Assembly
On Friday the Students Representative Council held an assem-
bley to introduce the candidates to this year's council. Each candidate
was represented by a Campaign Manager, who gave a short speech
to introduce their, candidates.
Otto Tucker, genial orator of the Education Society roused the
assembly with eulogies of his candidates, Georgialee Korsborn, Paul
Williams and Gladys Burton, with an aside for Engineer John Fahey.
Mr. Tucker adopted the Ciceronian approach while Mr. Gushue
was Gabriel Heaterish and appealed to the hearts of the voters. A
loud voice in the back tentatively identified as belonging to one
'Nobody' Walsh continually heckled the voters.
We sincerely hope that the students will have made up their
minds and stilled the tumult by the time this hits the stands . . . .
late as usual!
especially Mr. Carew.
The purpose of the cheerleaders is to foster school spirit and
promote the enthusiasm of the
team.
The cheerleaders are useless
unless we have the supporters to
back us up, so we hope to see
everyone at all the games.
Even though we aren't officially cheering at the women s
hockey games, we want to see
everyone there to cheer our team
to its first victory and second
goal".
