Student Identification Handbook, installment 48 This week, the philosophy major. A common species, suita ble for stewing. Color: drab Eggs: Large Habitat: Philosophy majors seldom move. Scientists have tried banding and kicking them, but a philosophy major has never been found more than a few yards from the place he used to be. Foibles: Philosophy majors like holding seminars in bars on death, just to show they are on top of the issues. Song: ‘‘I’ve got to be me.'’ Similar birds: The philosophy major is easily confused with the honors college student. This distinction can be made by beating the student in question with a large stick. The Honors College student will raise more dust. Next week: How to band and pluck the economics major. ******************** Musical interlude. In this time of strife, it helps to forget your troubles for a few minutes and indulge in some classical music. Get some culture and hum along to the following humorous tune by Blech entitled ‘‘Two Cellos have a hard time of it,” This second stanza reveals Blech’s keen sense of humor. Notice the way he stuck the C note in there. A real crack-up. But the punch line comes in the next stanza: Whatta comedian. Nobody does it like Blech. Now let’s switch to a more serious note and hum along to Blech’s melliflu ous “Two Cellos go to war and have a hard time of it.” Though he’s been dead for a couple of centuries, Blech lives on in these notes. As we live through the three wars, two battles and one flat he describes in this heater, one feels a surge or two of transcendence. There’s something about humming along to the work of an old master.
