BEREAVED BARO
Aloysius Michael Sullivan is a
little sad these days, roetry, If
you heed A. M. S., is on the skids.
In case your English professor
hasn't posted you on our Amer
ican Keats, be advised that Mr.
Sullivan is the sweet voice of
native poesy, not to mention the
pontifex of the Poetry Society of
America.
College is to blame for the flight
f the muse. Pegasus today is the
mount not of the high-minded
Plato but of the sour-puss Aris
totle. So runs the Sullivan lament.
"The net result is that our bards
have lost the sense of beauty,"
Mr. Sullivan grieves, "and turn
their versifying on sweat, blood
and the stereotyped underdog."
To prove his own oneness with
intellectual beauty, Mr. S. offers
you this winged tid-bit titled, "A
Day in Manhattan."
"A boy on a Fifth Ave. bus,
With a raucous voice,
Throws chewing gum
On a Rolls-Royce."
A man on Second Ave.
Reading the New Masses
Applauds the jibe.
At the upper classes."
Aloysius Michael Sullivan. That is
if you realize that daily instead of
communing with the souls of Sap
pho, Shelly and Swinburne this
same tyrant. Life, compels him to
dabble with nasty figures, finan
cial diagnoses and such. Toor
Aloysius Michael is associate edi
tor of the Dun and Bradslrcet rate
sheet.
C'est la vie. At the very least.
Life is truly sad, especially for
JELLY-BEANS.
We received a list of the ten
best-dressed men now enjoying the
full life the other day no doubt
you did, too and feel mighty sad
to discover that our good friend
Lucius Beebe, America's most
storied Beau Brummel, has fal
len from grace.
Only last year, Harvard's dazz
ling son held clown the number one
position, but this year he's sport
ing No. 17 beneath baseball play
ers, tycoons, curbstone diplomats
and, band leaders.
Ever fond of Harvard, Mr. Recbe
takes solace in the fact that the
Crimson is ttill represented in the
immortal 10. No. four place is
held down, of all things, by James
B. Conant, Harvard's prexy.
LIFE IS SAD DEPARTMENT.
The other day a posse of the
journalism students over at Hun
ter College here in Manhattan de
scended en bloc to interview Joan
Edwards, a Hunter ex and cur
rently a dispenser of sizzling mel
ody as you may know.
Mostly the theme of the inqui
sition was to be: Career versus
Marriage. The Hunter :h1s, as a
man, leaned toward the latter.
Miss Edwards listened to the
spokesman pop the question to her,
wrinkled her brow and then sul
lied: "Waste all that time preparing
yourself for a meie man!" she
flipped. "Don't be silly. I'll take
a career anyday."

That young people who have
done their undergraduate work in
the University art department be

college days has been determined.
