Bottle Can't Be Bothered . . .

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Apathy took a back seat this week as no breeze proved strong enough to waft the well-worn felt of Stu Bottle '50 into the Student Council ring. The somnambulent prexy of the Student Apathy League, aroused from his daily stint on an Eliot House settee, muttered a barely audible "no" when told of his nomination.

In spite of wild cheering at the nomination meeting Tuesday, Bottle announced complete surprise that any meeting had been held at all. "How could I possibly run?" he sighed. "I haven't even walked for two weeks."

The announcement by the tufftular head of apathy, known to millions as the Sleepy Warrior, threw into temporary chaos an abortive revolt by a small and disorganized faction of the group to nudge a slate of Apathy men onto Council lists. Latest reports show, however, that in six other Houses, the apathy men remained true to their creed and failed in droves to attend the meetings.

Indications

Indications were strong that nothing would happen. Vice-president Bob "Yawn" Crichton '50 gostured vaguely in the general direction of the Union, and murmured from behind his satyr-like visage, "Union, nice place to live, no quorum. But it's so far from Cronin's . . ." and he lapsed into customary hordrontalism.
