Another steady deal since the last edition is that of Hub Ogden, Kappa Sig, and June Morrison, Kappa Delt. Congratu lated by someone, it's rumored that she stated that the deal is "only a test run."

Johnny Appleseed worked on the theory that the apple supply was inadequate. It was a fine theory and Johnny received much self satisfaction as a result of his apple seed distributing activities. But time has wrought and wrought with the result that great, great grandsons are now getting an equal amount of satisfaction out of a new phase of the apple business. Johnny put his faith In the Lord. He merely helped a bit by getting the seeds covered with the good earth. The grandson doesn't put faith in anything except the frailty of all human flesh. He, the modern Johnny, doesn't even get down to the seeds. He limits his interest to the polish arfd the act of producing the aforesaid sheen. One might ponder the question of values and arrive at the same goal political debaters reach and one might consider the matter of techniques with no hope of final settlement but one can also think about the motives that actuated the original Johnny and the ones now actuating the present living member of the apple clan. Johnny was driven by the conviction that an appleless common wealth was doomed to extinction. He planted with all the zealous ness of a missionary. His guiding slogan was "just one more seed." To him an apple a day meant the difference between contentment and chaos. May his soul rest In peace The young man, however, has a new angle, a new slant, a new goggle-eye. He doesn't bother with the seed, the tree or the fruit. He is not even concerned with the apple of reality at all. He has entered the field of the intangibles and talks learnedly about the polish with out even dealing with the skin. He says to himself (quote), "This ap ple polishing business is a smooth racket." We timidly ask ourselves, "What apple and what polish and what business and what racket?" but we end up where we started and except to know that the young man is doing a neat trick with the old apple we are totally at a loss. According to some, one cannot ask a question in class, speak to a prof when one is encountered upon the campus, help a perish ing dean to a drink of water or aid some decrepit office secretary across the street without becoming contaminated with the curse of polish. Others would be more lenient and allow one to be ten per cent courteous to a few who may be remotely connected with the learning process. Still others (including the modern Johnny) are very, very liberal and think the polishing stunt not only acceptable but a knack to be cultivated. From the seed to the tree to the fruit to the skin to the symbolic polish all in one hundred years! That's progress! What may we ex pect after another hundred years? Who knows? Perhaps by then we may be discussing the aura of the reflection of the polish and brand ing even those who do nothing more than attend educational institu tions with the mark of shame, vr.Aov MEN Ycrv I' Plan your athletic program Coliseum Cage.

Barb Union, YM initiate European relief campaign . . . for small democracies A nation-wide campaign to secure the approval of the Amer ican people of a plan for sending food to the small democracies of Europe has been extended to this campus through the efforts of a local member of the national com mittee in charge. The drive was begun Tuesday night with the endorsements of the Barb Union and of the city campus YMCA. The national campaign, under the direction of former President Herbert Hoover, seeks the Amer ican public's endorsement of a plan whereby the assets of small European democracies, frozen in this country, will be used to pay for food to be shipped to the in habitants of those countries. Those funds can be released by order of the state department. This nation-wide campaign is now being extended to the colleges of the land. It has received sup port from many collegiate organi zations, including the Yale college paper. Ralph Schroeder, arts and sciences junior, is a member of the national committee among college students, and is conducting the campaign for support on this campus. Most of the opposition to the plan thus far has come from a belief that it will be an aid to Ger many in the war. Schroeder does not support this belief, but says that the distribution of the food in Europe will be handled entirely by Americans.
