A Thousand Clowns Burst
Onto East Stage Tonight
“ UNFORTUNATELY, there are far too few Murrays in the world,” commented Mr. Jerry Profitt,
director of “ A Thousand Clowns,” to be presented tonight and tomorrow night at 8 p.m. in the Niles East

Forum
A ctivity Pass Proposed
LAST TUESDAY the Niles East Student Council defeated a motion
which proposed that Council look into the feasability of initiating a
student activities passbook.
An activities passbook would be sold at the beginning of the school
year. It would include coupons which would enable students to receive
discounts over prices of general admission tickets at various dances,
concerts, musical presentations, and dramatic productions that are of
fered annually to the students at East.
The NILEHILITE encourages Student Council to re-evaluate its po
sition considering the advantages of a student activities passbook. W e
feel that such a plan offers many potential benefits both to the student
body and to the activities sponsoring the passbook.
Such a program would offer a substantial savings to East students;
attendance at school activities would receive an added impetus. Stu
dents that had a passbook would be reminded of upcoming events.
With discount prices students would feel more free to enjoy the activi
ties presented at their school.
Also, with increased attendance, the !nri»r volume of sales would
add to the income of activities, thus enabling them to work with a larg
er budget.
Similar activities passes have been initiated at other neighboring
schools, notably Evanston, New Trier, Deerfield and Highland Park
with great success.
Increased attendance at school activities shows a greater pride in
the accorr.pU«i»v>. its of our school, and demonstrates the true meaning
of school spirit.
Tne NILEHILITE strongly urges Student Council to initiate such a
program to demonstrate council's interest for all possible benefits for
the students of Niles East.

First, the success of this drive should reflect the pride the students
have in this school, the respect that they have for school property, and
their desire to Improve themselves and their school. Secondly, It shouW
also clearly illustrate that the student body is ready and capable to
accept added responsibilities. In recognition of these efforts, the NILEHILITE feels that the administration should begin to consider the possibility of granting students added responsibilities and rights.
Therefore, the NILEHILITE hopes that all students will help in the

“ As a Law Enforcement Officer, my fundament1 duty is to serve mankind; to safeguard lives and

ity I know the procedure and can make a fairly accurate guess at the punishment. However, when I
am apprehended by one of the men in the cafeteria,
one word goes through my head: Cop. Visions of
criminal court dance through my head, and I picture myself with 20 years on the rock for butting in
the milk line. It’s a funny word, this “ intimidation.”
There are many arguments in favor of having
policemen in our lunchroom. One such argument is
that the policemen are not policemen when they
are in the cafeteria; they are merely plain old ordinary men who need the extra money and just happen to be policemen. Is a doctor a doctor outside
of the hospital? Am I a student outside of school?
I don’t know, but I do know that m the policeman's
oath, he pledges to carry out his duties as a policeman 24 hours a day, seven days a week, in and out
of uniform.
ACCORDING to the desk sergeant at the Skokie
Police Station, a policeman can make an arrest at
any time, without a warrant, if the crime is committed in his presence. Fading to clean up a lunch
table is not, as yet, against the laws of Illinois or
the United States. But revoking a driver’s license,
even for only a few hours, is against the law, if the
citizen is not informed of the charges against him.
not given the right of defense, and most important,
not doing anything illegal.
My solution is simple. Let the policemen go back
to real law enforcement, outside of school. The money they were being paid will be left along with a
couple thousand “ irresponsible” students. Hire a
few students to oversee the cafeteria. See how fast
“ irresponsible” students become “ responsible” when
