"Tonight I'm going to bed

thinks.
Why is it that, when students
are younger, it is easy to rise at
the crack of dawn, while now,
There are many dishearten
ing examples of 8 o clicks. One
of these is getting out of bed
with 10 minutes to spare only
to find out that the class has
been cancelled. The professor

nothing awakens them?
There are many available ex
cuses too much studying the
night before, a troubled mind
over approaching exam or just
not being able to sleep. This
is hardly believable, however,
when one tries to get up in the
morning.
Of course, there are the ex
ceptional few who have their
alarm-clock minds set for half
an hour before class. These stu
dents are very fortunate and
have no trouble in getting up.
They awaken automatically
each morning without assistance
from their roomates. There is
the chance, however, that their
alarm-clock mind will be run
ning slow for eight o'clocks or
that it won't even bother to go
off.
Hours of peace are wasted
trying to awaken a sound sleep
er. It takes anything from ice
cold water to a hammer to
arouse the difficult ones.
Many houses are bothered
with soft-spoken "call" girls.
One of this ty pe tiptoes into the
room, whispers sweetly into the
sleeper's ear and with much
encouragement on her part, will
give a gentle tap.

has been attacked with a case
of measles or flu.
Another sad example facing
the late student is rushing into
the building, at 8 o'clock but
finding himself unable to get
into class because the class door
is locked by 8:01.
Some exceptions are the
"e a g e r" freshmen. On the
whole, few freshmen have
tardies or intentional absences.
The "broken-in" sophomores
and juniors take 8 o'clocks in
their stride, while the case of
the "retired." seniors is a little
different. This "know-the-ropes"
class deserves the extra
minutes' rest that makes them
late. After four years of get
ting up on time, a few minutes
overdue can be excused.
Professors know that 8 o'clock
class missing isn't intentional.
After all, college kids need the
rest they're still growing!

Ravel's "Bolero" is more of an
experiment in psychology than a
musical masterpiece. It was first
introduced in the United States
by the Philharmonic Society of
New York under the direction
of Arturo Toscanini in 1929. Since
then it has been a favorite in
concert halls throughout the
country.
The use of an unvarying
rhythm beyond the point of
boredom is not a new idea in
music, but its execution here is
original and effective. R.C.A.'s
album of the "Bolero," Which
can be found in the music room
at the Union, is one of the
finest arrangements.
The music is not a true bolero.

Spanish bolero is in double time.
The theme is in two distinct

flutes pick it up. The second sec

later in the form of a solo by the
clarinet. The wind instruments in
turn present the curious melody,

notonous and the rhythm is es
tablished and maintained to an al
most agonizing degree, which is
the effect the composer wanted
to create.
As the "Bolero" continues the
powers of the orchestra are
more heavily drawn upon, and
still the theme is seemingly
endlessly varied. Ultimately the
whole orchestra is drawn into
the theme and the end comes
in a single crushing mass of

tic masterpiece of orchestration
and while it entertains, it reveals
the enormous powers of the or
chestra and the endless varieties
which the modern orchestra can
produce.
Lieutenant Metcalf will be
available for consultation from
12:30 until 5 p.m. At 5 p.m. in
Room 316, Union, she will show
a film on the vomen's army

ties offered college women as of
ficers in the WAC.
According to Lietuenant Met
calf, the armed forces now, more
than ever, offers to young women
"challenging careers of prestige,
opportunity and deep satisfaction."
The WAC offers the competent
woman financial security, intel

travel in continental United
Mates and abroad, and an un
paralleled fpportunity to contrib
