Interest in Ordnance Training

SPEAKING IN GENERAL.
Poignant panorama The camp
us like a sprawling octopua bogged
down in the muddy remains of
overdamp days, dismal in its week
end inactivity. . .People, like para
sites in oilskins and boots, scam
pering over this creature in a rush
to get someplace and then at a
loss for something to do after
they arrive. . . Downslips crowding
mail containers campuswide to
tumble would-be scholars into the
indigo depths of desolation.
Convertible Squats.
A convertible, flashy on warm
spring days, squatting next to a
curb with cloth top soggy and ap
parently resigned to its own short
comings on days of dampness...
The enviable purpose that high
school kids at the state tourney
on the campus seem to find for
themselves and work avidly
towards. .. People at ping pong in
the iJnion just standing there
hatting a chunk of celluloid at
each other. . .advanced ROTC stu
dents in uniforms which they will
soon be wearing everyday instead
ot three times a week.
Old School Laments.
Oldsters, armed with draft
cards, sitting around a table in
a favorite tavern lamenting the old
school and bemoaning the new...
Six schemers over a coke in the
Grill figuring out how they can
pick up a spare coin or two by auc
tioning off their sugar ration cards
when they come out... Joe, the
night cop on the campus, who has
more friends and an call more
people by their name than Big
Jim Farley... The multitude of
frosh lassies in women's huts hap
py no end at becoming actives
via the initiation path, yesterday
afternoon, and the subsequent mul
titude of people who are happy be
cause the frosh lassies are hippy.
Text Book Lives.
Stu Simon, contest winner, and
a host of others too humorous to
mention standing in line at the
Stuart waiting to get tickets to
Betty Grable in technicolor under
the titl "Song of the Islands"...
Calendars labelled T. Dorsey with
date names underneath for next
Friday eve while Jack Crawford
and his plenty neat show attract
fun seekers Pike-way tonight... A
text book lying in the rain once
a part of someone's education but
now nothing more than a sodden
mass of bound pulp... That wel
come time when we can say "We're
done now" when in truth we were
done before we started.
