By KEITH WILSON
Any other name would smell. A freshman biology student recently completed an eight-page thesis on pondering several days over a suitable name for his masterpiece, he resigned named it "Sammy Squirrel's Big Day."
The Sawdust Trail. We were not aware that Dean Lawson was trying to run competition with local churches via the College office. We dashed over to Frank Strong to get a quick look at the Dean's funk list. On the bulletin board in place of the list was a sentence in large gold letters, "Kindness is the high tide of the soul." . . . Amen!
See what we mean? It happened at the DG house. A girl remarked she was going upstairs to get her watch. A sister advised her, "Leave it up there—it'll run down."
"No," offered another, "it can't We have a winding staircase."
Bones to Beans. Not so long ago a Daily Kansan story told about the natural history museum buying a large kettle from the navy. The navy had used 10 for beans; the museum needed it for boiling bones of rare animal specimens.
Some navy fellows at Notre Dame have sent in word that, from the taste of their chow, Notre Dame officials made the same purchase—only in reverse.
Hospital notes. By substituting main words recent notes to and from patients in the Watkins infirmary have been written in the form of the Gettysburg Address and "The Night Before Christmas." Someone might try a parody on "John Brown's Body," substituting his own name.
Critic's comment. Horace the type louse, after hearing Blanche sing "I Hate Music," commented that he has observed that many people seem to have a grudge against it. Even some of the more low-brow lice can't appreciate it, he said.
Discourse on Dogs. Something that has been troubling us for months is the steadily increasing pack of mutts that is taking over on the Hill.
What brothers us most is the wav.
Today You Remember...
Four years ago today the morning dawned to clouds. But you didn't know it. The day was Sunday and you were sleeping.
When you went to church, if you did, you noticed that the sky was overcast. But by the time the service was over, or by the time you were getting up, the sun was out and the sky was clear.
That noon when you sat down to dinner war was a headline. When you pushed your chair back after dessert, dive bombers were killing boys just a little older than you.
Perhaps you didn't find out right away. You might have been eating when the first news flashes came through. Or maybe you didn't know until you returned from the afternoon show. But you did find out soon and began to wonder if the boys you knew would be leaving school. This was the first tangible problem you grasped in relation to the news.
Just what kind of a person were you that Sunday as you sat at the dinner table and unknowingly waited for a war to begin? You knew Europe was at war and that we had been having trouble with Japan. You knew Japanese emissaries were in Washington talking to Mr. Roosevelt. You thought that was sensible.
In two years you had come to accept fighting in Europe. You took bombed cities and destroyed battleships along with your orange juice.
they sleep. Every afternoon we are confronted by the same muff sleeping in the middle of the stairs in Frank Strong hall. He sleeps flat on his back with his feet in the air.
This leads us to the conclusion that he's dead so we dash over to take his pulse. Then he wakes up and gives us that Who-the-hmm-are you-to-butty-into-my-siesta look... makes you feel like a dog
Then there is the cx-hunting dog type. From his hungry look, we can never be sure how soon we'll be "Going to the dogs."
Why Men Hate Women. Bill Marshall has been laid up in the hospital for the week with a bad case of flu. A lady friend on the campus took it upon herself to buy him a book. Her selection, "On Borrowed Time."
You had seen members of the national guard march down main street and depart in trucks. But you still thought they would all be coming back, the same faces in the same order in the same lines.
You were still more interested in society than large headlines.
Part of the world was awry, you knew, but you were happy at school, as happy as you could be, and still make passing grades. And you were content to be left alone.
But the war would not leave you alone. It called away people you cared for deprived you of things you liked required you to do things you didn't enjoy spoiled the excitement you had looked for in college. For three and a half years it persisted. Then last Aug. 15, it was over.
Today isn't Sunday, but it is still the anniversary of the "day that will live in infamy." Have you changed in four years? What kind of a person sits down now at your place for a meal?
Assuming again that you are average, you have a pretty definite idea that China is still at war. You know vaguely about the people in Java and Indo-China and India. You may even have an idea that Italy is on the brink of civil war. But these things involve strangers. America is at peace.
You haven't forgotten about Pearl Harbor. If you are taking a social science course, you read about it every week in Time. But you are interested now, not so much in the war it caused, but in the implications of political scandal. The war it caused is over.
You are concerned about getting invited to the right Christmas parties. You are not having a guilty conscience when you drive to the city.
You hear that the people in Europe are freezing. But somehow freezing to you means getting up on a cold morning and dressing before the heat comes on.
You also hear talk about starvation. Hungry perhaps but starvation is too strong a term to use in a civilized world. Your world is very pleasant now and it is improving every day. You are content to be left alone.
