Buchenwald!
Four days a week, from 3:20 to an indefinite hour, a horde of noncagers gather at some convenient nook and receive "the works." Wardens Bartol and Ferrel conduct an interesting series of experiments, testing how much the human body can stand. Perched serenely on the grey stone wall overlooking the exercise pen, there stands guard a warden noted for his brutality, with a fifty-caliber machine gun trained on all non-co- operators. For unusual emergencies, he boasts a small yellow pad and pen- cil, and plenty of malice.
Recently, cuts and abrasions have been detected on the bodies of the more unfortunate inmates. Your re- porter suspects foul play, as wardens and guards alike have been seen
wielding large black bullwhips above the heads of those who fail to com- ply with every wish of the presiding regime.
Lately, these calisthenics have been topped, not with whipped cream and a cherry, but an eventful game of softball, basketball, or any other sport that would happen to infest the minds of the wardens on that day. This activity of course, is compulsory. Then sometimes, on clear, warm days, a vigorous jaunt around the demerit track is experienced and enjoyed by all.
All this evolved from one fateful
faculty meeting, in which it was de- cided that the present victims had nothing to do in the afternoons. There has been hot disagreement to this, but we now realize, much to the delight of the wardens and their staff, that all our gripes are in vain. Never- theless, there is much dissatisfaction among the inmates, and it is rumored that the bolder ones are planning a break for March 16.
