Smiling Swordsman Sees
Fencing Femmes Flutter Foils
Since last fall some of State's
femmes have been striving to develop proficiency in one of the oldest arts of defense. There was
something so romantic and challenging in the command, "Engarde"
that ten little girls climbed out of
bed early Saturday morning.
Until last week every thing seemed to proceed according to plan.
Form, balance, coordination and
footwork were uppermost In the
minds of the fencing enthusiasts.

hair and twinkling blue eyes." It

strides into view his charges become
so distracted they fumble and drop
their foils, but that's the way it Is.
The new instructor has caused a
sensation.
Honestly girls, you can't have
your cake and eat it too! YOU concentrate on fencing.

feel that Myskania is an undemocratic organization? W h a t does the

small New E n g l a n d town meetings
where every m a n is equal, i.e., he

interest in t h e vote a n d facts.
A t t i t u d e of S.A.
If the a t m o s p h e r e in Student Ass o c l a t i o n could be m a d e to resemble

d e n t g o v e r n m e n t a n d of who was
who in t h a t government, I would
say "make Myskania more democratic." At present, however, I would
say t h a t no more t h a n 250 of the
t h o u s a n d s t u d e n t s of S t a t e have an
active interest a n d knowledge about
their s t u d e n t government. T h e rest
a r e either passively interested, or
interested in intellectual pursuits
a n d bored by such practical matters as was evidenced two weeks
ago when our President announced
t h a t the revised Constitution would
be discussed. I do not condemn such
interests, but am merely pointing
out the picture as I have seen it for
the past four years.
