It seems they took umbrage at an item in this column last week. To the entire PE department and Miss Jean nette Neilson in particular we wish to express our gratitude for reading this humble column. Tf we displeased them, OUR PUB LIC, in any way, we are most frightfully saddened to think that we have alienated some of our ardent readers. But in the interests of the privileges of a democracy, here is our case for the defense: Admit tedly ‘‘inactive," we resei-ve our energies for grooming, intellec tual pursuits, and an active con cern with the arts. This does not imply that the PE department doesn’t do these things too—it simply means that it takes so much time for us to get our hair up and all the books we want to read finished that there just isn’t time enough for GAMES! The PE gals are obviously super-women. Our case rests. * * * Not too many howls, please, about no Thanksgiving holiday. After all, the British don’t have Thanksgiving holidays, and they seem to survive pretty well. * * * To all the poor people who have three midterms on one day, all kinds of sympathy. In fact, to all the people who have any mid terms at all, more sympathy. They really are a loathesome in vention—such an unsubtle way of letting the faculty know how lit tle we know about everything! And, now, a plug for an ex tremely entertaining book, name ly, Van Loons latest. ''Lives.” It’s about a series of dinner parties Van Loon and his friend gave for famous people, one winter in Veere, Holland, several years ago. The guests include Erasmus, George Washington, Queen Eliza beth. and Montaigne, a very small part of their long guest list. There are bits of historical back ground of each guest, all very gaily related, and the comments and reactions of the celebrities are often quite unexpected. For such pure fantasy, it is really very well done, and worth an evening or two, if there are to be spared from higher education. One of the boys from a sunnier clime than ours was moaning the other day that his hair had been wet ever since he dashed to his S o’clock that morning. Several helpful and encouraging people inquired if he REALLY thought it had been raining, and if he HONESTLY considered this cold? One suggested a bandanna as the solution of his problems. He snorted, yes, he did, but per haps lie'll get used to the rain, etc., in four or five years. Practi cally everyone does—don't they? Conies January, comes the draft, exit all the men on the campus departing for the wars.
