R. C. Young Succumbs; Armacost Meets Stricken While In Office

Was President Of Class, Scholar; Voted Most Popular And Intellectual

Dr. Roscoe Conkling Young, head of the College Department of Physics, died at his desk last Wednesday morn­ing, November 22.

Dr. Young, who died of a.heart at­tack at his desk in the laboratory, had been head of the Physics Department since 1919. It was largely through his and Dr. Merrymon's efforts that the Massachusetts Institute of Tech­nology presented the College such fine accreditation.

A member of the "class of 1910, Dr. Young had long been a part of the College both as a student and as a teacher. He received his B. A., B. S. and M. A. degrees from the College and his Ph. D. from the University of Chicago. '

Dr. Young was the most promising member of his class. During his four years he was President of the Philo-mathean Literary Society, Editor of the Literary Magazine, President of the Sophomore Class, President of his senior class, and recipient of the Soul-ter Scholarship. He was voted by his classmates the most popular and intel­lectual man of his class.

He was a member of Phi Beta Kappa, of Sigma Xi and Sigma Pi, honorary scientific fraternities; of Gamma Alpha, a graduate social fra­ternity at the University of Chicago.

Carl Sandburg, the tall white-haired author, poet, journalist, and speaker will be heard Tuesday and Wednesday on the William and Mary campus as Phi Beta Kappa poet. Wednesday evening he.will spend a few hours in the informal telling of some of his famous stories, and reciting some of his poems and songs for a large College audience..

Sandburg was born in ,1878 in Galesburg, Illinois, and remained there most of the time until 1902, when he was graduated from Lombard College in Galesburg. Between the time of completion of his high school education and his entrance at Lombard, Sandburg wandered westward-in search of adventure and a practical knowledge

' i of people and democracy. When the Spanish-American War broke out he saw active service in Puerto Rico with the 6th Illinois' Volunteers*

Upon graduation from Lombard, Sandburg worked throughout the West and Mid-West before becoming Secre­tary to the Mayor of Milwaukee from 1910 to 1912. After that he was editor of System Magazine in Chicago, and later became Stockholm correspondent for the newspaper Enterprise Associa­tion- during the last World War . Sandburg was also an editorial writer for the Chicago Daily News.

Sandburg has been the recipient of many famous literary prizes. Among them he numbers Levison's prize in the Poetry Magazine, in , 1914, and the Poetry Society of America's prize in 1919 and 1921. For his four volume Abraham Lincoln, the War years Sandburg has been given the Pulitzer Prize.

Making his home in Harbert, Mich­igan, now, Sandburg occasionally travels to speak or to give folk song recitals. He contributes a widely read column to the newspapers of the Chi­cago Tribune Syndicate and just this year he has had published a book, The Photographs of Abriham Lincoln, along with Frederick Hill Meserve.

Harvard had Sandburg as Phi Beta Kappa poet in 1928. As Phi Beta Kappa poet here, on the 168th anniversary, of the founding of that honorary society at the College, Sand­burg will read an original poem in Phi Beta Kappa Hall on Tuesday.

Carl Sandburg, modern poet and amthor, ivill be Phi Beta Kappa guest, December 5.

G. G. Clark Is Graduate Of Richmond University

English Professor's Chief Hobbies

Are Ghost Writing And Dramatics By CONNIE CONWAY

As a g radua te of the Unive r s i ty of Richmond , M r . G r a v e s G l e n -

wood C l a r k of t h e Engl ish depa r tmen t probably has mixed emotions

witnessing the t r ad i t i ona l .Thanksg iv ing clash between the Ind ians and

and educated in the public schools there . U p o n gradua t ion f rom J o h n

M a r s h a l l high school, M r . C l a r k began the s tudy of l a w and a t the

age of twen ty received his L . B . degree and passed his bar exam. U n ­

able to practice law until he was

twenty-one, Mr. Clark worked in a

law office as a clerk.

At the outbreak of the last war Mr. Clark served in the 220th Engineers. Refusing a commission, he was pro­moted to first sergeant, and held that rank until the war's end.

After the war, Mr. Clark took special courses in creative writing at Columbia, and served as secretary to Theodore Price on Wall Street. After a particularly strenuous year of work­ing and studying, coupled with turn­ing out his first book and many mag­azine articles, Mr. Clark returned to his home in Richmond for a rest. It was then, in 1920, that the late Dr. J. A. C. Chandler asked Mr. Clark to teach at the Richmond extension of the College.

His course in creative writing at the extension was so successful, with over half the students selling their stories to magazines, that Mr. Clark was asked to teach it a second year. During that time he studied for and received his B. A. degree, and went on to receive his M. A. at Columbia. Since

that time Mr. Clark has done several Q f I n t C r c l U D CoUPICl ' l summers of graduate work at Col­umbia.

His chief hobby is ghost writing, and since his graduation from college Mr. Clark has "ghosted" many books, mag­azine articles, and political speeches for busy, or lazy, authors and states­men. Several of the books he "ghost­ed" have become widely known, and his political speeches have put the campaigner into office.

Interested in biology and nature, Mr. Clark has written several books for children dealing with those sub­jects, generally under his own name or a pseudonym.

The lively and humorous professor is in constant demand throughout the state to give book reviews to various clubs and organizations. Since his busy with his teaching, Mr. Clark coming to the College in 1925, there hopes some day, if he ever retires, to has been established a Friday night do even more writing and "ghosting," book club, now in its eleventh year, and to add to his already large stamp that meets on alternate Fridays at Mr. collection.

These men emphasized the necessity

of preparing purposeful programs for

returning veterans. According to the

best estimates available, from one and

one-half to two million men will re­

turn for part-time or full time educa­

tional programs at the college level.

The returning veteran will be im­patient with "red tape" and many of the activities at college. It is expected that the usual fifeen hour program will not be satisfying, since these men have attended classes in .army pro­grams from twenty-four to forty-five hours per week. .

Bot'E-Talk

It is understood that at leasf one person on campus has been offended by what he/she read in one of the col­umns. To this we can merely say that at no time is any deliberate offe'nse meant, because at this writing this column bears no grudges and has, we think, no enemies. It must be remem­bered that although the FLAT H A T staff voted almost unanimously against having a "gossip column," the student body was, all for the idea. To con­form with the wishes of our readers, therefore, we present the interesting happenings and some newsy observa­tions as seen through the eyes of Botetourt, with the aid of some dozen or more correspondents and the writer.

As college students, the readers of this column are supposed to be of in­telligence above the average. Intel­ligence also includes common sense, and the readers should have enough of that not to let themselves be offended by an unintentionally offensive item.

Personalities and character are real­ly what count in the end, though we may not want to believe that now. A collegiate with a good personality, and (at the risk of sounding stodgy), a good character, is bound to have friends and no story, or rumor, or even direct lie could lose that collegiate's friends or good reputation for him.

Perhaps some of the readers need to grow up, or perhaps they will un­derstand after reading this explana­tion. At any rate, we bear no grudges and hope,none are borne against us. Snappy Scuttlebutts:

Rumor has it that the real reason that campus Casanova Dick Goodman has left school is that he and Katie Meanley are now one.

United Nations Exclude Spain For Past Record

Facist Government Directly Opposes Ideals, Aims Of Democratic Countries

By GERARD SILVERBURGH

It is with the utmost of vehemence that I should like to oppose Miss Mary Lou Manning's denunciation of the United Nations' barring of Spain from the future Peace Table. Although Spain herself is unimportant, there is a point of view expressed by Miss Manning which I consider dangerous, and one the proof and exposal of whose falseness will rid a great detriment to our plans for peace.

As we go into our fourth year of war I feel distinctly disappointed that there are those who do not realize what we are fighting for. The United States, Great Britain, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and most of the United Nations are countries where the four freedoms are revered, where the people have a large mea­sure of democracy, and where life pro­ceeds along lines distinctly- opposite to the pattern of ruthless hate, ignor­ance and fear which has appeared

disarmed and policed, so that: they may never again wreak misery upon innocent people and turn back the clock of time,

Personally I am very fond of the Spanish people. No one more than I feels for the tragedy that has been the keynote of their retardation, and

IRC Speakers Discuss Peace

Mr, Harrop A. Freeman was the guest speaker at. the last meeting of the International Relations Club on Thursday, November 23.

The topic for discussion was Dum­barton Oaks, which the speaker ex­plained and criticized. He stated that actually the present peace plan is little improvement over the League of Na­tions. Because Dumbarton Oaks makes no arrangements for disarmament nor for treatment of the conquered coun­tries, the practicability of the plan is questionable. A question period fol­lowed the lecture.

Mr. Hibbert D. Corey will give the economic problems involved in this war and the coming peace at the next meeting of the club on December 7.

Botetourt Suffers Gross Misfortune

It was during the still, dark hours of Monday night, about 3 :00 a. m. to be exact, that a very gross misfortune fell upon His Lordship. As he stood nonchalantly by (as usual) ' waiting for the verdict of the traditional tur­key day class, some "unknown" per­sons invaded the campus and changed the "old boy's" countance.

On Tuesday morning Botetourt was found to be blushing a beautiful red. Not only was he the victim of this riot but other paint jobs were done on the field house, Blow Gym, and other spots on campus.

Of course these unidentified fiends remain unknown but who else would paint U of R in red all over this campus but some Spiders from Rich­mond? Naturally they are under suspicion and their actions are of a most serious nature.

Botetourt is maturing to a ripe old age now and he is a bit fragile to be treated so roughly. After all; he be­longs to the ages and who are we not to respect him?

Such "pranks grew out of the tradi­tional rivalry between these two schools. In 1942 some of the Indians journeyed to Richmond and returned displaying some shiny bald heads. This year : the old tricks have been revived and it looks as though we have plenty to settle on Thursday.

Activp I™ Red Cross And Canterbury Club

By BETTY COUMBE

Miss Constance K. Applebee, now in her sixth year as visiting hockey coach at William and Mary, is one of the few pioneers of women's sports in this country. A native Britisher, residing in Hempshire, New Forest, England, she is the foremost authority on wo­men's hockey today.

First mention of hockey was found on the statue of a Persian god in 600 A. D. The game came up through Greece and the European countries and was finally introduced in Amer-i ica in 1901 by Miss Applebee. In the summer of that year she arrived in the United States to study at Harvard University. She met Miss Ballantine, an instructor at Vassar College, who expressed a desire to know the fun­damentals of the sport so common to most English women: The exhibition staged by Miss Applebee w'as received with much interest and she proceeded to Vassar to coach hockey. The pos­sibilities offered by the game were quickly recognized by other institu­tions and in the fall of 1901 she visit­ed many colleges, among them Smith, Radcliffe, and Wellesley.

Hockey is particularly popular in and around Philadelphia where many

Cricket clubs are situated and where

Bryn Mawr claimed the services of

Miss Applebee for some time. She

al«o founded and supervises a hockey

camp at Mount Pocono in Pennsyl­

vania. Open three weeks in Septem­

ber to all interested women players,

the camp is staffed by five English

born coaches.

At William and Mary, Miss Apple­bee is active in the Canterbury Club, Red Cross, Mortar Board, and serves as critic and cheer squad at some of the co-ed basketball games. She has become a familiar and beloved figure to the athletically inclined students on campus and her judgment and de­cisions are respected by everyone.

With the termination of the war she hopes that hockey will assume the pro­portions of a major sport in this coun­try comparable to its popularity in England.

Last Four Games By ED GRIFFIN

After a year's lapse, one of Vir­ginia's most hotly contested gridiron rivalries will be revived on Thanks­giving Day when William and Mary invades the state capital to tangle with the University of Richmond ax the City Stadium.

This will be the forty-ninth meeting of the two schools since the series started. The Spiders hold, a sizable lead, having won 29 contests and lost only 19'. The Indians, however, have taken the last four games and would like to add a fifth one to- their victory string. If this is accomplished, a fourth-place finish in the Southern Conference is waiting for them. One advantage they possess is that they outweigh their opponents about ten pounds per man.

The Tribe is in good shape for their final test of the season, having had almost two weeks in which to pre­pare. Tom Mikula is the only regular who may not be able to start, not being completely recovered from a leg injury which he sustained in the North Carolina game. v

Since the Richmond squad is com­posed mainly of students in V-12 who are constantly being transferred, Coach Mac Pitt has never be'en cer­tain this season as to who would be around to start the next game. This is,

Sororities Take 224 Girls After Closed Rushing; Kappa Delta Pledges Greatest Number, Accepts 39

The wind up of football with the various Turkey Day games, brings basketball creeping into the limelight. This is one sport on the cam­pus in which women athletes hold their own. To all freshmen girls who have not indulged in this exciting winter event, we urge you to try it. Some of the greatest enthusiasm among woman sportsters has been seen in Jefferson Gym during basketball intramurals. You experience twice the thrill when out on the floor playing your heart out for your favorite dormitory or

sorority. Even if you have not sign­ed up for a basketball class in gym, you can get the required five practices in during special practice periods to be posted. Practices will begin De­cember 2 and will go on for five weeks before intramurals begin

For hockey fans, here is some in­teresting news. The Richmond Hockey Club will play William and Mary here December 2. We were defeated 5-0 a few weeks ago by the Hockey Club in Richmond, so here is our chance to retaliate. As yet, no other games with out-of-town teams have been planned.

No hockey intramurals have been played on campus because of post­ponements and lack of practices. Since the fury of rushing, people seem to have forgotten that intramurals are still going on. A game scheduled be­tween Chandler and Monroe was for­feited by Chandler because of lack of practices.

no doubt, one of the reasons foruthe Spiders poor showing this year.

The Red and Blue has been on the wrong end of the score in five out of their seven starts. In their season opener, they encountered the powerful Blue Devils of Duke and were crush­ed, 61-7. Their first victory came at the expense of a weak Richmond Army Air Base eleven to the tune of 34-0. The Spiders next met the Cadets of Virginia Military Institute and were trimmed, 26-20. They licked Hamp-den-Sydney, 18-0 but have been un­able to score since then. The Ports­mouth Fleet Marines took them, 19-0; and after this they were walloped by the Virginia Cavaliers, 39-0. A week later, North Carolina State defeated

A meeting of intramural managers t h e n» b y the same score. was held last Monday evening to de­cide what to do about sorority hockey. Because of rushing, sorority girls have not had a chance to complete their re­quired practices. A new schedule for sororities may be made out . . . .

The Richmond ground game fea­tures line bucks, off-tackle smashes, and end sweeps from the single wing formation. The Spiders rely mainly, however, on passing. Almost all of the throwing is done by their full-

Kings Smash Tyler Tigers

In an aerial-minded attack, the Sovereigns smashed the championship hopes of the Tyler Tigers on Wednes­day, November 22, to the tune of 44-14. By thus eliminating the Tyler Tigers from the running, the sov­ereigns left Phi Delta Pi an open road to the. 1944 intramural football cham­pionship.

The Sovereigns,. in making six touchdowns, resorted to the airways, and through three interceptions as well as their own tosses, lugged the pig­skin repeatedly across the Tyler goal. Tut Bartzen made two interceptions and kept on going till he had hit pay dirt, while Bert Parr also intercepted a Tyler pass for six points. Parr was responsible for one other touch­down as well. Bill Mace proved him­self capable of making good for one touchdown, and Frank Scott may claim the honor of top scorer with one touch­down, a field goal, and four extra points.

Spearheading the weak, but valiant countermeasures of the Tyler Tigers was Garland "Snake" Drake, who passed to- Bill Bangel for one touch­down, and to William Garrison for the other. Drake also booted the two extra points.

Thanksgiving Day, 1893, saw the first Wi l l i am and M a r y Indians play football on a field partially cleared of stumps and brambles.

Inquiring Reporter

By GINNY TOWNES

Since the holiday spirit is running high among the students, your reporter decided to find out first what Thanks­giving means to the people who will' celebrate it tomorrow.

Del Horton: "Thanksgiving is a great American holiday. Wish I could go home."

Gidge Drahos: - "A day without classes and a chance for plenty of rest is quite a bit to be thankful for."

Al Appell: "It means a time to say thanks for those who have brains and to pity those who are less fortunate."

Bob Davis: "A chance for a really good meal."

Tut Bartzen: "Wish we'd celebrate both Thanksgivings."

Liz Parham: "It's a great day even now, but I'll have a lot more to be thankful for when the war is over."

Bobby Volkert: "Thanksgiving will really be, a day of thanks if William and Mary wins the Richmond game."

Glo Iden: "I'm glad we're celebrat­ing the 30th instead of the 23rd. At least Roosevelt doesn't get his way about one thing in Virginia.

Tissa Stalings: "It means -that Johnny will be having a big dinner with all the trimmings over in Italy."

Lois Loucks: "It means, I hope, that I won't have to wear my freshman cap any longer."

Coeds Take Over Jobs As Cafeteria Waitresses

Girls Don W hite Jackets Temporarily To Replace Absent Football Players

By CONNIE CONWAY

T o the more cosmopolitan minded they are the "Cafe Society," to

others they are the " W o m e n in W h i t e " , and to still others they are

merely the dames what takes the place of the departed football heroes,

(come, come now, there are l imits) . . . they have proved themselves

both useful and efficient in helping but in the cafeteria when the team

plays an out of town game.

It all started when the gals from Chandler offered to don the white jackets and take over as waiters them­selves, at the time of the first game away. Rolling up sleeves, taking in a few seams, and moving over several buttons, the gals began to take on a professional air. While the layman ate, they scraped and stacked and did the general dirty work. All pay was donated to a charitable cause, and stray doughnuts were brought home to starving roommates,

Food Problem... Roaches Organize... . . . Set Up Three-Point Program

If Noah had only had the foresight to let those roaches drown, the whole" problem would have been solved at its source. But he didn't! So now, aided and abetted by practically everyone since then, the roaches are flourishing in Brown Hall. Realizing the advantages of group action, they've or­ganized themselves into the Amalgamated Interna­tional Brotherhood of Cockroaches of the American Federation of Insects, Union Local No. 1.

. . . What Should Be D oner

With the current wave of sickness that has swept the William and Mary campus, as well as other parts of the state, students have increased their complaints concerning the cafeteria and the food situation.

Some of these criticisms may be well-founded but the ones concerning the food itself have no basis. The college administration has done an excellent job to make the cafeteria one of the best in the country. An inspection of the premises will reveal an immaculate, efficient, and sanitary set-up in the kitchen, bakery, refrigeration and clean-up rooms. All dishes and utensils are thoroughly sterilized after use. Meats, frozen foods, eggs, and milk are kept in refrigerators at 32° F. Outside help em­ployed by the college are required to undergo a, com­plete physical examination each week. Monthly inspections are conducted by the State Department of Health and the Navy.

But—some of the students' complaints are justi­fied. The Complaints Committee appointed by the Student Assembly has been on the job and is working with the administration concerning im­provements. There are four main problems and suggested remedies for each.

That Line . . . (1) Congestion in the cafeteria line. No matter

what adjustment may be made this situation will always prevail to a certain extent in any cafeteria. It would seem that if the food would be served be­ginning at 11:45 a. m. instead of 12 o'clock, the crowded situation would be relieved. Then those who have one o'clock classes would not have to race through their meals once they got through the line. As was suggested by Fred Frechette last week, students themselves could help to avoid this inconvenience by not eating at the most congested times, namely, 7:40 to 7:55, and 8:20 to 8:30 in the morning;* 12:00 to 12:20, and 1:00 to 1:20 at noon; and 6:00 to 6:20 in the evening. The din­ing hall is open for an hour and a half each meal, so everyone should be able to find a time when it isn't too crowded.

(2) Cutting in the cafeteria line. Everyone likes to eat as soon as he can. But if he has to stand in line for twenty minutes, it is not fair, to have six or seven people cut in ahead of him just as he reaches the door. Housemothers and some waiters are an exception to this by a courtesy rule of the students.^ Even then if the housemothers would try to avoid the rush hours, it would be a big help. Employees have no more right to cut in the line than do the students.

Aim To Destroy

How About Prices . . . (3) Price of the food. Most people eat three

meals a day (if they don't; they should), and trying to eat on a dollar a day as the cafeteria books pro­vide is an impossibility. Even if one eats the "regu­lar" consistently he finds that he does not have enough tickets to last for a month. It should be possible to cut down on the prices of some foods. For instance eight cents is paid for a half-pint of. milk, yet a quart of milk costs 19 cents. This is a big item in the students' meal budget, since milk" is no longer included on the regular menu. If the cafeteria costs have risen since last year, this should be stated at the beginning of the semester.

(4) Attitude and cleanliness of the student waiters. There are exceptions to every rule, but the majority of the students who work in the cafe-teria make it a big joke—that is not funny to those KcceivC Support who are eating.' They are sloppy in the methods of work and in the dirty jackets they wear. By and large students do not linger over"their meals. Most of them realize the waiters wish to get their work done, but do we have to have our dessert plates snatched up before we get the food to our mouths? Waiters get clean jackets twice a week and with reasonable care, they should be able to keep them presentable for three days.

They drew up a constitution with a three-fold purpose. Their primary aim is to destroy the coeds' wardrobes. Old rugs, draperies, and the like are without exception ignored. Expensive net formals, new woolen suits and Sweaters are preferred. Roaches who conscientiously eat up clothes by Schiaperelli, Nettie Rosenstein, and Molyneux are rewarded by being made shop stewards, providing, of course, they do their union work in the most conspicuous places. At least five hundred dollars worth of damage has been accomplished so far.

Their second purpose is easily fulfilled. They must increase union membership,—either by repro­duction or by fooling the exterminator. They are doing it! The bulletin board in Brown Hall lists the number, date, and locality of most of the roaches that are observed in action; little ones, big ones, single ones, and groups of them have been reported. These roaches knew they wouldn't have much trouble with the exterminator. After a close check up on previous actions taken by the College authori­ties on student complaints, those roaches knew that efforts to conquer their organization would only be spasmodic. Again those roaches exhibited super­human intelligence. Even when the exterminator does lay down his powder, the dormitory's maids, Union fifth columnists, promptly sweep it up the next morning,—or else the roaches themselves leer at the girls and proceed to enhance their shiny ex­teriors by running around very much alive with the aqua powder on thei* backs. Aesthetically speaking, it's a lovely sight.

Cause Of Emergency Meeting . . . Causing annoyance to the women, their families,

and their housemother is the third end the roaches are accomplishing. They coerced the girls into holding an emergency house meeting the night be­fore the German Club dance when the women first discovered the full extent of the damage. The women suggested that their families write the Col­lege; that they should take out insurance policies,— and a few did; and that they should rent closets out­side the dormitory. The roaches also caused the girls to place a ban on food in their rooms,—but that doesn't bother the roaches at all. They eat the clothes instead!

When a.feminine scream is heard now in -Brown, it is the Anti-Union password which signifies that a roach has been seen. Each girl then mans her station outside her. door to keep the roach from

• entering. ' The roaches delight in making so much midnight

commotion that they actually. waken girls from their sleep. And then; too, there was the roach who ate a coed's blanket while she was under it one night.

Parents who have scoffed at their frantic daugh­ters' distress will not be so nonchalant about the situation when the January bills for replenished wardrobes come rolling in. No help is seen from the Commonwealth or College either. The roaches have the law on their side. The coeds can't sue unless Virginia gives its permission to be sued or unless they put a bill through the Virginia legisla­ture,—and after all,—suing for cockroach.damage!

If we want to have a cafeteria we can use with pleasure, students themselves can do a lot to help correct the existing situations. If this is done, the administration would be more willing to help improve the remaining faults.

By FRED FRECHETTE

As each succeeding day becomes shorter, waking one's self in the morning becomes progressively more difficult. Darkness falls sooner and, most important, dawn .comes later. The cold gloom of night clings to the campus for a period each morning. Soon, on rain-drench­ed cloud-smothered mornings, we will be groping our way to eight o'clock classes across a campus chilled by the damp cold of night and shrouded by the darkness of a lightless dawn.

Although not entirely in love with into account in an institution of learn-the idea (we imagine), the students ing? Our belief is that we are not and faculty accepted them. Such a change in class policy was a small sacrifice on the part of the college community. '

Today however;—as we have been tpld repeatedly—things are different. In the first place, War Time (the lit­eral translation: > Daylight Saving Time) creates an extra hour of light at the end of the day by subtracting an hour of daylight from the begin­ning of the day. Secondly, we now have twelve o'clock classes, which were impossible under the old Din­ing Hall system. These midday classes add an hour to the morning.

Most of us have seen, through bit­ter experience, the difficulties of eight o'clock classes. The hardship of rising in the dark, although difficult, is not enough, in itself, to warrant any serious complaints against eight o'clock classes. More than anything else, the mental lethargy one ex­periences at that time is the basis for our objection to these classes. It is a rare morning 'when anyone feels mentally "on the ball." Perhaps it is some fault of ours, but the fact re­mains; we do not get as much out of an eight o'clock lecture a? we should.

Then too, there is the physical dis-

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

to Herman ? dog seems to

To The Editor:

What has happened The little black-brown have disappeared from the campus and many people have been asking this question. However, no one knows the answer.

Herman came around looking hun­gry the first part of last summer, and the students, especially the boys, adopted him as a mascot. When everyone came back for the fall ses­sion, Herman was still here. He came to classes, visited the dorms, ate in the cafeteria, went to the football games and play rehearsals—in short, led the life of ?. true college lad. He was accepted unanimously by faculty and students alike.

So if anyone knows the whereabouts of Herman, please make them known to all interested parties.

Joan Sayers

The support given their organization that the roaches are most thankful for came in the way the dormitory was cleaned in the two weeks preceding the fall semester. The married couples who lived there during the summer quite obviously cooked and kept food in their rooms. Although the grease. could have splashed anywhere and sweets could have been carried all over by the babies' sticky fingers, still many walls were left unwashed, untouched. Bits of delicate feminine apparel were even found in dressers by the fall occupants.

Since cold weather doesn't kill roaches, the only threat to the roaches would be to have the girls move out and- the Administration move in. The FLAT HAT supports this.
