THURSDAY, OCTOBER 25, ; 1951, Knit Ohe. Purl. Two Knitting Fanatics Disturb Professors ■- Knit one,, purl two, knit one/ purl two—and so 'lit goes, as coeds sit through class, knitting away on a pair of argyles. v 'C'-.. -'. i It is quite un aware they, can be of ; the man at the front of the room, termed in polite society “professor. unfortunate prof, who considers' his lecture by all means' more im portant than a pair of. argyles, finds the click of knitting needles more disturbing than- the-iast row-snore. Save Your Nerves . Though the purpose of this, ar ticle is by no means to encourage knitting in class, it-is intended to be a, reminder that. Christmas is just 62 days away. Not wishing to rush .the season, we call upon all knitters to verify our state ment that the last-minute rush of putting the finishing touches on a pair of socks can be just as grueling as a last-minute cram session for the term’s worst blue book. So; to save your nerves, and to endear, you even more so to some lucky man, we advise you to be gin your Christmas socks now. Even if you’re not sure just which one of many men" to give your precious handiwork to, it’s still gooii policy to begin knitting now. Size eleven is about average, and if more interesting prospects should turn up between now and Christmas) you can shrink or stretch, the socks accordingly. Better- Play Safe Should no prospects turn up— perish the thought—fathers and brothers will probably value your efforts just as much. Among the male element on campus, argyles seem to be the general favorite, although some coeds have been seen knitting socks with initials, fraternity crests, or Greek letters. If you fall in the “not-quite sure-for-whom-just-yet” category, it’s wise to stick to argyles, dia monds,- chevrons, Scotch plaids, or cables. Make The Most Of It Nylon runs a close second to wool for hand-made,socks. Men are fortunately quite willing to accept either. As far as. colors go, it’s almost a dead give-away if you ask your steady what color combination he likes best, but, since you prob ably won’t succeed in keeping it a secret anyway, you may as well please him and knit with his favorite colors. Bookworms, They Say The problem of when to find time to knit is ever-present. Profs generally object -to it in class, and with reason, and Emily Post frowns on it at the dining-table. Because coeds are ’ notorious book-worms, they find it difficult to find, time between study hours, and so, men, if you don’t receive a pair of argyles this. Christmas, be thankful the coeds you know invest their time, in more profit able enterprises. 4 Profs Appointed To LA Committee Four' professors were recently appointed to the Liberal Arts.lec ture series is largely conducted in planning committee of.the.School of Liberal Arts.- E.
