MAKING LOGIC LOGICAL
In one of Mrs. Hazelton's philos
ophy classes, this question was thrust
at the critical thinkers:
If a clock takes three seconds to
strike six, how long will it take to
strike twelve?
A few of the faster thinkers who
had looked at the answer in the back
of the text replied, "6 3/5 seconds,
allowance being made for the actual
chimes."
All well and good. "But," objected
Victor Marchetti, "How long will it
take to strike twelve? Why, six
hours."

ing of the. Collegian Thursday, April

Men who have lived through the
sinking of ships . . . are scared to
death by fashion's padded hips . . .
men who for months have lived on
K-rations ... lose their appetites over
some of the fashions ... and those
who have weathered the Siegfried
line ... are slain in the battle of the
hemline .. .
The current mode is designed to
intrigue ... but it often succeeds in
causing battle-fatigue ... Sometimes
what a lady will wear ... makes you
want to tear out your hair ... but to
ladies it seems worthwhile ... as long
as it's decreed by style ...
Waistlines at . . . necklines . . .
waistlines at hiplines . . . they are
emotional barometers ... registering
at the current times . . . years are
spent and fortunes, too ... to make
stylish creations for me and you ...
The poor designers have such a
time, as you can plainly see..:. but
why must they design ... the waist
line . . . everywhere but where it
should be ?
A hem is a hem ... and a waist is
a waist . . . who knows where the
twain shall meet? Apparently the
stylist will not be content ... until
they both meet at the feet ...

Fashion Fatigue

A big fat ruffle here or a drape
shape there... a rustling feather or
a swoosh of horse-hair ... makes a
man stop and stare—but stare! ...
as he thinks to himself, "Who goes

Style is a continuous comic . . .
style is a year-round tonic. It can be
exceedingly flattering; it can be very
funny ... it can be very inexpensive
or it can run into money ...
The hobo in his array of patches
looks through a fashion magazine,
and his head he scratches ... says he,
"Well, I do declare ... if this is what
the college girls wear ... their out
fits with my outfit matches!"
Style ... beguiles ... it enchants
awhile ... and then ends up in a junk
pile ... Buckles, bustles and long un
derwear, hobble-skirts and those that
flare ... all have burned a bright arc
in the sky ... only to meet in a junk
heap to die...
But...
Lives there a lady . . . with soul so
dead... that the latest fashions...
do not go to her head ?
And ...
Lives there a man ... so ready to
die ... that a stylish lassie ... does
not catch his eye ?

Lowdown in
The Library
By JOAN EIDLEMAN
Crash! goes the potted plant;
bang! goes mother's best china;
whiz-z-z go a tiny pair of feet by.
Thus goes the routine of Junior's
day. Whether or not you are aware
of the ever-present problem of bring
ing up the "mean wittle kid," it is a
question that will always provoke
even the best psychologist.
You Centerites will 'at some time
or other become mothers and fathers
(if you aren't already). Consequent
ly, you should take avid interest in
proper child care and development.
You need only spare a few minutes
from your limited leisure time to
commence mastering the problem by
reading The First Five Years of Life
by Arnold Gesell, M.D., who has
uniquely presented the significant
problems of the pre-school child and
their solutions.
Among the limited alternatives
The Intelligence of Infants by
Psyche Cattell might be consulted;
the author delves into the observa
tions and results from psychometric
examinations of children.
Then again, You might say to
yourself, "Why be so concerned with
the future?" For those of you who
don't cross your bridges until you
come to them, that crash-crack,
crush, wang-bang-clang noise may
now only extend to your neighbor's
or your own, phonograph and radio.
Why not go beyond these mere front
pieces and elucidate the mystery?
Of course, read Our American Music
by John Lasker Howard who presents
an informative survey of the entire
subject of American music from the
old ballads to boogie. The Record
Book by David Hall, the new inter
national edition, might also be con
sulted. It is the most •comprehensive
guide available to all fine recorded
music. In it the domestic and foreign
recorded music of 780 composers is
evaluated by one of the foremost au
thorities in the field.
Yet, whatever music might interest
you, there is that which is all-satisfy
i•ng, the spring music of Easter vaca
tion!
