Freshman Plans Cold War On Cold Water I do not knozv hozv to swim. I do not want to learn to swim. I hate swimming. I hate swimming pools. I hate water. But, according to my Counselor, all this makes no difference. College girls must know how to swim. So, who am I to be backward True, I was flagrantly backward be fore registration. For a good half- hour I stressed the perils of water and wet hair. Ultimately, my sched ule was completed, swimming head ing the list. The next morning brought regis tration and my silent plan for a cold tvar against cold water. After sign ing in to my other classes, I cued up for Physical Education. The impossibly long line slowly shortened, leaving me standing face to face with, of all people, the swim ming instructor. One o'clock szvimming, I said, moanfully. Sorry, but it's closed, she said. All the swimming classes are closed. You'll have to take sports. Can this be, I said to myself, de lighted, delivered? The future of my hair is saved. My confidence in Counselors is restored. My fear is forgot. As I checked into sports, I was conscious of only one small flaw. It has grown through the weeks.

The SAC and the all-college commit tees hope that all students will be in the Civic Opera house when the curtain rises, Oct. 23, on Jose Gre co's colorful revue. The benefit publicity being done by the clubs is ingenious and in valuable. Some of us may not realize just how vital such pro motion is, but many of us appre ciate it and the generosity which makes it possible. When we need a poster to an nounce an event, the Art depart ment is ready, brush in hand, to help us. If we want a skit, we go to the English and Drama depart ments. If something must be dreamed up and written in a hurry, the Review staff and the Skyscraper staff meet our need and banish our worry. Other groups and depart ments are equally resourceful and cooperative. * * * Guaranteed to be fun for every one is the first all-college mixer of the year, in the gymnasium at 8 p.m., Friday, Oct. 30.
