Book of the WeekChildhood Memories
By Otto J. Howe
Home for C h r i s t m a s by Lloyd C. Douglas, T h e Riverside Press. Cambridge, 118 pages.
Have you ever wanted lo regain your childhood?
Can you successfully rid yourself of t h e burden of
higher education? C a n you remember t h e incidents
of your childhood? Do you care lo explore t h e childhood of others?
Lloyd C. Douglas in his book Home for C h r i s t m a s
takes us to a reunion of t h e Clayton family, during
Christmas, at their old homestead in t h e farm lands
of Michigan. T h e Claytons leave their h u s b a n d s or
wives a n d children a n d r e t u r n to t h e land of their
childhood where they a r e supposed to act exactly as
they did during Christinas in their childhood.
As t h e Claytons arrived a t Wimple. Michigan, they
were met at t h e station by a n old, horse drawn, bob
sled. Evenings they renewed their childhood friendships at adjoining farmhouses
T h e boys, Fred a n d J i m , were delegated to slaughter a pig lor the coming celebration. They "literally

J a m e s was attired in "rubber boots a n d a slicker.
Smeared to his ears." Fred "succeeded in breaking
the handle off t h e sausage grinder." They succeeded
in " a - t u r n l n the kitchen into a dirty slaughter house."

relegated to high school newspapers? However, since wc think it is very pertinent, let
us state our case.
We don't maintain that humor has no
place in the classroom; we concede that it
is indispensable, and a ready wit is part of
a teacher's stock in trade, but we do protest
the hilarity and raucousness that have become prevalent in so many of our classes.
We laugh readily and loudly at a professor's jokes, but are we laughing because
we are amused or because we want to make
an impression? Even a professor realizes
that his jokes can't always he that funny.
We're making an impression, but not a very
good one,
We drop the subject with the fond faint
hope that you won't—mayhap you'll take
this overabundance of enthusiasm with
you to aome basketball game, and use it
where it will do the most good—applauding
your representatives out on the floor.
So we're back i n o u r small
little groove this week with
t h o u g h t s tired a n d jaded after
tripping over eighteen e m s of
space last week.
Right now
we're trying to t h i n k of a subject—yearning for a n idea a n d
yawning over thinking of one.
Do y o u r e m e m b e r C a n u t e ' s
C u t h b e r t a n d how h e grew. He
a n d his sister grew in s t a t u r e u n der t h e tutulage of t h e M. A. A.
a n d W. A. A. muscle binders. As
Cuthie became more a n d more

more, a n d passed courses, a n d

accomplishing something. However, o n e d a y this h a p p y family

m e a n s to cope with it. They
looked in their m a t h book a n d
their history book a n d chem
book a n d language text, a n d perused their stock of English litera t u r e a n d found n a u g h t b u t a n
extra layer of d i r t which required extra ablutions a n d a few cold
bare facts t h a t needed r e n a m ing. T h e i r backs became s t r a i n ed with t h e lifting of heavy
books a n d this added to their
woes. W h a t did they need? T h e
answer is simple—just a little bit
of common sense philosophy of
living.
A few years back there was on
the S t a t e college faculty a m a n
n a m e d K i r t l a n d who was noted
for his ability to m a k e t h e m e m bers of h i s class think. We've
often wished t h a t our Corncob
friends h a d been but a member
of one of his classes. A real need
of S t a t e college is a t h o u g h t p r o voking course t h a t is n o t connected with o u r major or minor
or a professional course b u t
r a t h e r one t h a t Is solely there
to m a k e us think. If we could
but get a general working background of philosophy to use In
our t h o u g h t t r a i n s we think we'd
get by all right when this e x treme case of t h i n k i n g arises.
T h e trouble with us is t h a t so
very few of us ever really give
good solid time on t h i n k i n g of
our own problems. W e accept
the vital facts h a n d e d us by our
friends, family a n d faculty with
little a t t e m p t to test these ideas.
We say t h a t we're skeptics a n d
yet invariably t h e only thing
t h a t we're skeptical about is our
own ability to be skeptical. I
really believe t h a t a course s u p ervised by t h e right faculty

semester of our freshman year

S t a t e would be more m a t u r e a t

year a n d also he'd be better a d justed to t h e world of teaching
when he graduates.
Enough of t h e serious—we've
heard that some of t h e freshmen
have been thinking of our proposal of last week that they
sponsor a tea dance or a n informal dance. I hope it's true
because they could do something
for t h e school if they start something like this

Potter pledges handle the exercise duties.
One hundred and two women students were pledged to State college
sororities this week according to the
announcement of Dean Helen Hall
Moreland who supervised the formal
rushing. This announcement comes
as a result of the three affairs held
on February 3, 4, and 5, when the
upperclass members of sororities entertained members of the class of
1941 and new students.
The total list of one hundred and
two pledges shows an increase of
twenty over last year's total, with
seven upperclassmen and ninety-five
freshmen receiving bids. Chi Sigma
Theta heads the list with twentyfour pledges. Kappa Delta is second
with fifteen, closely followed by
Gamma Kappa Phi with thirteen
new pledges.
The official pledge list, as released
by the office of the dean of women,
is as follows:

In regard to this master artist,
Toscha Seidel, there is much to be
said about his very striking and individual personality, He has a short,
compact figure, with an all embracing smile, a delightful sense of
humor, and eyes that reveal intelligence. Though he has done no composing, he has transcribed many
compositions for the violin. Asked
why he didn't compose. Seidel replied, "Why should I? There are so
many more beautiful things than I
could ever write yet to be played—.
I am always working, seeking unknown compositions, trying to find
out meanings in many works of my
repertoire, and in that I find happiness."
