No student govern- as ever done anything that officials couldn't have done, probably wouldn't have done had even given the time. If I were a freshman, I wouldn't worry about grades. If I ever caught myself worrying, I would promptly drop school and begin digging ditches. I wouldn't spend too much time and effort getting grades in courses that I didn't like, but I would at least pass them. World War II Pamela World Meet People In mathematics prof at the University of Miami was showing his class how to use a slide rule. As an example he solved the elementary problem of 2 times 2. The slide rule showed the answer to be 3.019. "I think," he mused, "we'd be safe in calling that 4." Understand, this is all IF. Actually I couldn't go through these four years again for love or money. "It's a first thing needed to make a dream come true is to wake up. Beat the Heck out of Georgia Tech! If Mr. Barrett will make a careful analysis of Ellingbon's music he will find that it consists largely of tags and snippets from standard music, with a harmonic vocabulary drawn from the worn out cliches of impressionism. Its appeal resides mostly in a lush orchestration and over ripe sexuality. What Stokowski says is beside the point. He says many things for publicity purposes, but he has never ventured to compare Ellington with Stravinski or Schenberg. As to Benny Goodman, shouldn't he be expected to pay tribute to a co-worker? Russell H. Barrett is guilty of an amazing ninen sequitur when he hears that, since "the good music of one period becomes the classical music if the next century," then "probably the music of Cershwin, Kern, Ellington and others" will become the classical music of the future. Dear Editor. He first must prove that the music he cities is the "good" music of today, and I suspect such an attempt would strain his powers to the utmost. I esteem the music in question for what it is—entertainment music pure and simple. As to nominating it for immortality, I fear that it lacks the organization, thought content, and serious purpose ever to become "classical." Dear Editor Non Sequitur Yes, I believe there is an "unbridgeable gap" between "popular" and "classical" music, but I see no reason to fight over the matter. I play popular music for relaxation, but I wouldn't dream of trying to use it for my spiritual needs. For catholic nourishment I go to Bach and Beethoven. G.

What is more cheerful than to go hurrying home about dark, with light streaming from steaming windows and bringing a glow of anticipation of your own warm home and companions seen to be reached? There is a cool about cold weather, but blips and chills in it. Leaned hands, runny oosen, worn-mold-over glasses. Of course, nobody complains a little, but when the temperature goes down, it comes that spirits go up. There's more vigor, more life, and more warmth, strange to say, in cold weather greetings from friends and acquaintances. And if you happen to be downtown about that time, the "Christmassy" atmosphere is heightened. The many-colored lights go on, store windows glow with inviting displays, and shopper start home laden with groceries and perhaps some Christmas gifts. Noses are red, Bare legs are blue. Cold weather is here, But good cheer is too. FLASH! EXTRA EXCLUSIVE AIR EXPRESS NEWS! Collier's 1947 ALL-AMERICAN FOOTBALL TEAM SEE RAY EVANS IN ACTION IN THE K.U.----M.U. HOMECOMING GAME!
