behind the proposal, according to
the report, is that the University
does not provide a home-like
atmosphere, and the open period
would help alleviate this.
Finally, the workshop repeated
a common student plea that wom
en be allowed to attend parties
at men's apartments.

In the recent furor over the assassination of President Alert!)ley,

shout, "Thar she blows!" maybe 'ce wear.
Of -the one percent remaining, it cannot be fairly said that
they are poor writers. The fact is we don't know what kind of

don't they ever write? Because his remaining one percent-at
American college students are . . lied at the University of
Alaska, and never take their mittens off. 7 .

through life with your mittens on all the time is hardly calcu
lated to make you merry as a cricket. Not only can't you write,
but.you miss out ,on all kinds of other fun things—like three
card monte, making shadow pictures on the wall, and lint pick

be a hale and gregarious group, mittens notwithstanding, and
I soon found out why: because mittens notwithstanding, they
could still smoke Marlboro Cigarett es , still enjoy that rich
mellow flavor, that fine, clean- Selectrate 'filter, that truly soft
soft pack; that truly flip-top flip-top box—and that, friends,
will make anybody happy, mittens notwithstanding. In fact, -
Alaskans are'the happiest people I have ever met in the whole
United States—except, of course, .for the Alaskan veiaors of
Marlboro cigarettes, who have not been paid in many years—
indeed, never—because how can anybody dig out coins to pay
for cigarettes when he is wearing mittens?)
• But I digress. What are we going to do about this deplorable
condition where college studentS, having completed Freshauta
English, become steadily less pi-oficient in the use of the lan
