dibJual
First 1941 panel
is successful
QommsmL
The first successful roundtablc discussion of America's part in- the
present world conflict was conducted yesterday in the faculty lounge of
the Union, and the consensus was that more should be held this coming
semester.
Well-informed and intelligent contributions to the discussion were offered
by many members of the audience, which took part to a great extent in
the affair, before it ended after two hours of argument.
The Union's sponsorship of this program is commendable, and the
DAILY has offered its full support of the program. Student support, of
course, is necessary if the routultables are to be successful. Support shown
yesterday, if it continues next semester, will assure a completely successful
program for the whole semester.
Broadening of the idea will involve securing of a different faculty
member for each roundtable, a variance of subjects, and, we hope, audience
attendance that will require use of the parlors, or perhaps the ballroom.
Aii improvement
that s noticeable
We give you Miss Mildred King, the fair-haired lady who now bosses
the Union catering department, and who is doing one grand job!
After the gripes and quarreling that went on last year and the year
before, the Union catering troubles have been reduced to a minimum of
interdepartmental ones. The menus in the Corn Crib are tastier, varied
more than ever before and the portions on the plates are larger.
In the cafeteria, the meals are much improved, more economical.
And in addition to all of this, Union employees, who formerly ate the
meals they earned in the kitchen downstairs, (and those meals often con
sisted of left-overs) now take their money's worth with meals in the
cafeteria; and there are no longer the rumblings of discontent that echoed
through the building last year.
So, high on our list of 194 1 's valuable additions to the campus is Ming
King! We hope she enjoys her work as much as we enjoy it!

Air Blockade . . .
A comparatively little-publicized
aspect of the incessant Luftwaffe
bombing raids over England is the
damage done to dock facilities.
British censors have not permitted
any truly detailed information on
the dock situation to pass to the
outside world, yet it is clear, from
reports of returning correspond
ents and others that they face real
trouble in this respect.
The dock areas in London, for
merly the greatest in the world,
liave been rendered almost un
usable by the constant rain of
German bombs. Likewise the land
ing piers in Southampton, Plym
outh, Coventry and other south
and southwestern ports have been
smashed. As a result the English
have trouble unloading the ships
they arc able to convoy to their
rorts.
ports. There are three possible ob
jectives against which the success
of the German air bombardment
should ba examined: (1) smash
British morale; (2) reduce the
English fighting strength by
wrecking their factories until they
cannot supply their army or air
force; and (3) make the air block
side effective by destroying port
facilities and sinking ships.
Latest reports seem to indicate
the Nazis now arc concentrating
t'r the most part on this last ob
jective. Ihe cities most heavily bombed
are virtual &ii seaports. In ad
dition, German bombers are re
ported ranging farther out over
the Atlantic seeking to destroy
British convoys which now use the
northern route around Ireland al
most exclusively.
Inclement winter weather has
made it difficult for the Germans
to bomb ships at sea. The light-

FLU.
Right now, I'm just caught In
the hangovers from a six day siege
of the flu. Seems the little disease
is not such a peculiar bedmate to
so many persons we know. So we
write of this maze called the "flu."
Flat foot floogies with the flu
flu. Flu flu, flu flu. Heads in a
fever stew. Temperatures upward
thrust. Theniometers on a bust.
Hot stuff!
Yo heave ho. Sick people stac ked
above and below. Below? Yes.
How far? Too far. Oh, no.
Stacked down until they bulge up.
Oh, move over and make room for
the student body.
The flu and the germs. The
germs. Ah, germs. Nice, dirty
germs. They don't worry about
exams. They don't have to pass
Ed. 63. Hi ho and away they go
to the tune of the squeezy wheez
ing of ten hundred flu flame lungs.
Fever goes higher. Takes a
flyer. Then microbes that iiing
silent little songs; microbes that
crawl but never go away. Big
cough then. Big cough that goes
scrunch, scrunch as files do rasp
ing, rasping. Feels as does the
schoolboy who rubs his finger
nails over the slate blackboard.
Much ado about the flu. Do
you, yes you, too, have the flu?
Does Chancellor Boucher have the
flu? Eirds have flu. Clip clop,
clip clop. Mostly clip. Interrup

ders all barbs to boycott the flu.
That is all.
Pills. Bromides. Capsules, Qui
nines. And into the jaws of death
strode the COO pills. Pink pills,
green pills, fat pills, thin pills.
Take one pill every two hours.
Take two hours every one pill.
You'll need 'em. A walking pill

Bottles of medicine. Forty-nine

Paying no attention to the keep-off-the-grass
signs. Just keeping
tromping around. Thump, thump,
thump. A tree without a stump.
A man's chest ain't his own no

Wake me Saturday, mother, for
I'm to be queen of the May with
a trotting nose and sandpaper
cough. Grate cough. I have the

Concerl-

when he was only 23 years of age.
The Concerto is in three move
ments; molto allegro con fuoco,
andante and molto allegro e vivace,
and the composer's usual happiness
pervades all the movements, even
the slow and more solemn one.
The program Includes Overture
to Marriage of Figaro by Mozart.
This short overture is one of the
gayest and liveliest in musical lit
erature. The Overture will be fol
lowed by Mendelssohn's Concerto
featuring Mr. Harrison.
The rest of the program is as
follows: Variations of a Theme by
Haydn written by Brahms as eight
variations and a Finale from the
theme of an unpublished diverti
mento by Haydn; Polka from the
b.illrt, "The Golden Age," by
Shostakovich; Prelude to Kho-
vanstchina, which has for its set
ting the period of religious and po
litical strife just prccecdlng the
reign of Feter the Great, written
by Moussorgcky. This work is the
finest example of pure Russian
music.
The last selection is a Russian
Easter Overture by Rimsky-Kor-sakov.
