"You musn't chop at that cherry tree. It isn't nice." "But, you always let me chop at any other cherry trees I wanted to," little Oscar demurred. "And this is . a great big cherry tree anyway, and a little chopping wouldn't hurt it very much." "That's not the point, little Oscar.. It was alt right when you chopped at the little cherry trees in our fine orchard. They didn't count.for. much and, besides,- I think maybe it helped them more than it hurt them," was the Big Man's reply. "But this 'big 'cherry tree runs all the little ones and it might not like being chopped at." "But," little Oscar answered back, "I only chop off the bad limbs on the little trees and'l think this big tree has .a limb that needs some chop- ping." "Now, run along, son, and don't bother the head cherry tree. Look at all the work it has . to do. It runs the whole orchard all by itself. All we do is report on the progress of the orchard. But the big tree has to make suit everything is in shape. It is in the middle of a big crisis right now. You know all the planning it takes when you've got to get out a cherry crop in a' month's less time than usual.. And then you i'ealize that the big cherry tree has to make up its mind on whether or not the orchard will start producing another crop right after the present onfe has been harvested instead of waiting until next season, don't you?" "Sure, but," little Oscar protested, "the "big cherry tree could at least tell us What all the trouble is about. That rotten limb I'm talking about is the one On which the big tree is sup posed to hang out all its information. That limb hasn't born any real fruit for a long time, and it's beginning to infect all the little cherry talees. They're all talking about it and, in place of the truth which they should. get from the head tree, they* starting to build up and Multiply all sort of fantastic ruriterS. Before' you '.know it, those little trees are going to be so excited by their own silly stories that there just aren't • going to be airy cherries Worth harvesting early. "So," little Oscar.went on, "what I'd like to do is take a few whacks.-at that limb until it bears •Even if it's bad, fruiti- the little trees- would be better - off. Then, they'd know what's ahead and would have a chance to understand the prob lems the big tree is facing for all Of them They can take bad news. Maybe they could even help solve some of the problems.. The big tree wants all the little ones to produce like grown up trees, so why does it refuse to treat them as though they were unable to comprehend grown up problems? I still think it could stand a couple of whacks on that silent, sterile limb." BUY SELL TRADE ECOND . FqTEB L.O T - 1 I . :j T irr LELA.

It is in line with these plans that I respectfully submit the following proposal: Though it Would be tinneceg sary to entirely do away with such an affair because of war condi tions, I do believe that it would be only proper on our parts 'to make some sort of sacrifice if we intend to have. such luxuries as Senior Ball. For many years it has been the custom for students to send coeds and imports cor sages of flowers on occasions of this sort. However, this• year such extravagances seem unwar ranted, even unfair, when so many of our boys are forced to be in camps; and, in many cases, over seas. Therefore, I suggest in order to show that the student body at Peni State is willing and able to shake •a few sacrifices for an all out victory, that we do away . with corsages for Senior Ball and that we substitute for such, some sort of insignia or emblem which will aid the Army or Navy. I feel sure that something of equal beauty could be found and that the financial benefits would go a long way. It is the least we can do and I am sure that neither coeds or imports would object too strongly—especially during these times. However, a plan of this sort is only workable with 100 per cent student cooperation. Are we willing to attempt it and to, make it work? Women's gniWing Coeds Protest To "the Editor: We live in Women's Building! Where is Wbifien's Building? Nine .out of ten men on campus are completely lost as to the whereabouts of this attractive Freshman dormitory. They look puzzled and say, "Oh, sure, you mean Mac." We ask you, is this fair to the fifty beautiful coeds who reside in W. B.? We call the Blue and White for cokes—they send them to Mac or Atherton. We have a date—the fellow calls for you at Mac. We think of a catchy telephone greet ing, "This- is Heaven, which angel do you want?"—Collegian says it originated in Mac. Our dorm is that imposing red brick edifice behind Old Main. Please,, please, Ed, give us some credit or publicity or something! Sincerely, Two score and ten unhappy -LOKI Defense Movies Set Foy.• Tonight Films on national defense will be sho\vn in 110 Home Economics Building at 8 o'clock tonight.
