Friday. September 24, I755 The Grudge Poi By DOUG MCCORMAC Fun, fun, fun! We’ve all had it, haven't we? Summer was great. Europe was great. New York was great. lowa waseox. I had a miserable summer, of course So what? Did you have such a hot time? Get off it, you , were miserable, too. If you had fun, at least you felt guilty about it. Only one exciting thing hap pened in my quiet town all sum- mer. One night, my mother snuck into the kitchen and snatched two pretzels. "You’ll never lose any weight that way," I warned her later. She grimuced. “Who asked you? Why don’t you go down in the basement and let your clothes rot.“ She often sniveled like this when in the wrong, and I knew that I must treat her more gently. "Dr. Milliwed says you're is int ugly slob," I tried. “Who asked him?" she sniveled. “You did," I returtedl "You asked him why you were over- weight, and he said it was because you are a fat ugly slob. That pret» zel won’t improve Dr. Milliwed's opinion of you, either.” Actually, I didn’t give a damn about Drl Milliwed‘s opinion, since he had been dead for five years. His dying words were, “She's a lat ugly slab," and they probably did not even refer to Mumsie. But for private recondite rea- sons that would only interest a pedant, I wanted to demonstrate the true reasoning about the mat- ter to my mother. The reason I wanted to show up my mother was that she had taken the last pret- zels. “They always say, ‘as thin as a pretzel,’ " she finally said, smug- 1y. “who are they?" I screamed with wild irony. “Why are they always creeping into our converr stations? Shall the world never be rid of this foul conflagration?" “If we don't keep on eating our pretzels. it won't," Mumsie said as she exited. Now I could see that she was extremely under- weight. "A pretzel a day keeps the foul conilagrations away." “A inul conflagration on your foul conflagrationsi" I elocu— tioned. “Never eat a pretzeil” l universalized with momentous stu- pendity. "Shove it all," I sniveled in despair. It did not matter, for my moth- er could no longer hear me. She was in the basement eating pret- zels while her clothes rotted, Excitement and fun, as you can see, have as many faces as a woman. They need not be glit- tery and expensive. Often. riot and dehaunchery, when stripped of their coarser outer rags, are naked. Sometimes they are not. Everything ultimately depends upon a cheerful, pleasant, opti- mistic attitude] ENROLLMENT UP Campus enrollment for this year’s fall semester is up nearly 2 per cent over a year ago. While first semester last year there were 1145 students registered, this year there are not) students at» tending the school. These figures retlect the larger size or this year’s treshman class.

Marty Yaseen, vice president and program chairman of Educare, in- troduced the speaker. Future meetings of the group will feature speakers and a ques- tlon and answer session on "Free- dom and Discipline," “Day and Night Life," "Generalities and Specificity," “Artificiality oi Course Conten ," and "The Grad- ing System." Educare is open to anyone in- terested in issues regarding edu- cation. b Encampment (Continued tram Page 1) agreed that: a liberal education in- cluded obtaining sume knowledge of the practical. To aid this aim oi education, the group suggested that more men of affairs be invited to speak on campus. This committee also recom- mended strengthening the rule of interdisciplinary clubs on campus. The group discussing the Grin— nell social situation suggested that the college attempt to foster closer college-town relations. The group given the responsibil- ity of talking about the college and its students decided that a more exciting series of convocations might help the spirit of commu- nity that may be ebbing on the Grinnell campus. In an effort to bring the ideas of the encampment back to the campus, the encampment commit- tee is planning remeetlngs oi the original discussion groups later in the year. Other plans along this line include distribution and pub« lication of the final committee re- ports and coiiehaurs with encamp- ment participants and interested students.
