Column Written 21 (Continued from page six) The duke, sly young man, pours his little workmen and little blue bloods all into his melting pot and stirs them up until you can’t tell one from another. What is more important, the lads can’t see any difference themselves. The duke has publicly admitted that the greatest compliment ever paid him was when one of his camp hands referred to him as a“human being.” The duke’s camp is a great lev eler, and it is a shrewd move. His royal highness catches ’em young, being mindful of the fact that in a few short years these lads will be the backbone of England. Their democratic influence will spread. A Thing of Beauty, A Joy Forever--Also to Swear at What do leaves mean to you 7 We speak of those leaves that bud in spring and blossom out in all their glory in early summer to give you a few moments relief from old Sol’s ' rays while you swing in the hammock and sip your lemonade. Those are the same leaves that later turn to gold and silver. In the fall they die and come spin ning to the ground to form a car pet on the grass. The same leaves that cause a silppery footing on the wet side walks. You see them dammirjg up the gutters and plugging sewers. If leaves to you mean a never ending task of raking, piling, burn ing; if you dread to see autumn come because it means you must borrow the neighbor's rake and wheelbarrow—you are a realist. You are the caretaker, the street cleaner, the hen-pecked husband who has been dragged away from his shotgun or golf clubs. You see only a few hours’ work to be followed by a few more hours of the same because you forgot about the wind. You had them in a neat pile. Now they are scat tered as before and reinforced by several hundred more which have fallen from the trees. If you see a riot of color in the leaves; if you can picture sunsets in an ash or maple or walk upon a mountain top and be inspired by nature’s beauty—you are an artist. You may be the little boy or girl on your way to school with half a dozen leaves clutched tightly in your first. Or. you may be a pait er who has traveled far only to return to paint a scene more beautiful that all the time was in your own back yard. You appreciate a leaf as a thing of symmetry and beauty. You would stop to watch it come danc ing down from up above. You take pleasure in hearing them rustle and crackle underfoot as you walk to class. Now, if you are one who is in spired by the never ending meta morphose, one who pictures the birth of spring in the budding leaves and the death of summer in the rustling carpet beneath the tree—you arc a poet. You see life and beauty; death and dispair. To you they are a symbol of a never ending cycle. Perhaps you arc neither realist, artist, nor poet. You are just an individual who welcomes spring with its new life. You enjoy seeing everything turn green again after a bleak winter. You love the smell of trees and shrubs in blossom and sometimes relax in the shade and watch the sun shine through the branches. Before you realize, fall is here once more and you are suddenly struck with the riot of color across the campus. Coming home one evening you see the yard needs raking. The smell of burning leaves is in the air. Two weeks later you damn those leaves that stopped the gutter and made you walk half a block out of your way. Gamest gambler in the commun ity is the railroad which will sell a one-way ticket to Mexico on the installment plan. Dilapidated highways are un comfortable to ride on, but thgy tend to cut down the speed at which accidents occur.

Rhythmics attract women stu dents, who are in hopes of drawing PE majors as partners, and men, who are in hopes of meeting wom en. It is actually not quite this ba sic and biological, but really ex tremely refined—even to the point of stuffiness. The class starts from scratch and works up as slowly as possi ble. One of the first class periods is spent in solemnly doing a schot tische step single-file around the gym. After about a half hour this begins to border on the ridiculous, but the student must remember that this is Art. Those students who are not interested in art have one heck of a time. Frolicking about the room in blue denim shorts five sizes too large, one is reminded of the time one was the third brownie from the left in that snappy third-grade extravaganza, "Greetings to Spring." That was the year that one gracefully lost one’s pants at the climax of the "Zephyrs of May” dance, to the utter horor of mother and the little girl in the next row. As rhythmics students weave gracefully hither and yon, a pian ist plays quaint Swedish folk mu sic off in a corner. The astute ob , server may note that the Pride of Scandinavia plays the same tune Friendly House At Friendly house Friday eve ning the recorded concert hour will begin at S p.m. At 9 o’clock Dr. Breen will lead the discussion on the topic “Should the Church Have an Economic and Social Gospel?” A pfofessor of history and social science, Dr. Breen is a historian and former minister.

April Fool! | in accompaniment to waltzes, schottischcs, polkas, anti square dances, but this is of little moment, since she never plays the piece twice the same way anyway. Around the second week, things begin to get tricky. There is a heel-and-toe step which involves kicking oneself in the shin anti then loping off sideways across the room in as dignified a manner as possible. There is also a cagey little routine known simply as the ‘‘jig," which one does with a part ner. There is always a great strug gle over whether a couple is to jig to the right, or to the left. This can be avoided by jigging separately, which is an excellent out for exhibitionists. The “waltz” a la. rhythmics is) something which one does alone, moodily, off across the gym. When the class has successfully reached one side of the gym, everyone turns around and waltzes back. If this is) somewhat less than exciting, it de velops poise, balance, and a sense of direction. In the future, rhythmics should become extremely popular with those who prefer dancing alone, who can lope sideways without, tripping themselves, and who were never, a brownie in a third-grade extravaganza.
