he's unable to make out too much. There's a cloud of dust (or could it be smoke?) through which he can't perceive heads or tails of anything. Then he brightens with sudden en- lightenment. It's merely t he official heralding of the end of basketball season \and pledge). And over in the corner ike wolves over the fold, he spies a strange group of seemingly bloodthirsty gentle men waiting with paddles and other instruments of evil distributed over their various persons, and faintly he hears the age-old chant of the sect, "We want goats! Nice jucy goats!!" Need more be
said?
And there's politics in the wind.
Our ancient friend got a breath of it last spring attending a little party in Lexington along with some of his friends-some conference or other, but saw nothing like this. Carefully, he puts his ear to the ground, and
hears, "Well, now, for President, we'll run John (Willie Stark) Duke. How's that, boys-don't you think I'd make a good president?" Then, "Veep al- right, Pero? How about valedic- torian, Lerd? 0 . K., boys, fix it up. Us hicks gonna take over! This place needs a change! ' And our slightly bewildered friend cocks his head else- where. And he's still turning when, out of the dark, he hears some sand being poured in the oil with the
words, "I was thinking long and hard."
By now, though, he realizes that he's gotten his readers completely off of any semblance of comprehension,
·and decides to look about for other matter. He soon finds some upon spying the Thin Man, loaded down with shovel and stopwatch, making tracks for the lower field, and in his footsteps follows a well - known che mical, recognized best by it's "slipping around" qualities, which are by no means diminished by its sticking pror;;>erties.
But, alas! no more. 'Tis time to shut up shop and open up the pop. And so, following the immorta l words of Murgatiod Budwieser, "A curse on the cost; five bottles a head!" he leaves us to our thoughts . . . adieu!
