Immovable Objects
That old problem of crowded library steps is with us again this year—bigger and better than ever.
Every time the whistle signals the end of another hour, the rush from the library begins. It usually ends as close outside the front door as possible.
Sometimes there is a narrow path through this obstacle course, but even that has its dangers. The line moves at a snail's pace and it is a lucky day when you can get through without being stepped on, purchased in the ribs, and getting your shins kicked raw.
As soon as these nicotine fiends stop and start their puffing, all who want to get to their next class must force their way through bodily. This is quite a trick when the smokers are packed three and four deep along the rails and the middle of the steps.
Of course the All Student Council could extend the prohibition on smoking inside the library to include the steps in front—but this is too logical and simple to receive consideration.
The new and larger doorway planned for the library may help, but more than likely it will only help the traffic blockers get outside quicker and do a more effective job.
The coming of cold weather might discourage the less hardy of the smokers, but don't expect too much. They are a rather persistent, stubborn, and unsocial group. —Gus August.

- Letters To The Editor -
Dear Editor:
Itchy
The cheerleader who scratched her leg during a recent flag-raising ceremony was the object of several fervent letters of condemnation. Of course it was unintentional. She only did what came naturally. But the act has been interpreted as a symbol of lack of respect for the flag, for the country, and even for God.
This is a world on the threshold of the atomic age, in which the failure to achieve international understanding threatens universal destruction. In these circumstances it may be necessary to examine some of the foundations of our society, the more deeply rooted a foundation the closer the scrutiny.
No institution is more deeply seated than that of patriotism, because patriotism has assumed the reverence that in earlier periods

Collection Of Antiques Grows Into Old Village
Sturbridge, Mass. — (UP) — Old Sturbridge village, a copy of a typical 19th century town, was built by Albert and Cheney Wells of Sturbridge because their collection of antiques grew too big. The brothers, officers of an optical manufacturing firm, now have 28 buildings on their 500-acre tract here, including a blacksmith shop, general store, grist mill and church.
