Council Discusses
Big Response To

Defense Courses



Decision Made to Postpone
May Day Voting Until
December



The College Council met for the
first time this year at Miss Park’s
house_on- October 9. The tremen-
dous response to the idea of de-
fense courses was discussed, and it
“was suggested that the Presbyte-
rian Hospital in Philadelphia and
the House Committee of the Bryn
Mawr Hospital might take stu-
dents to help so that they could
learn the geography of a hospital.
The possibilities of a joint course
with Swarthmore in wartime nu-
trition, and quick, brush-up courses
in languages were also considered.

The Council decided that we
should use and develop the organi-
zation we already have for fire-
fighting, and emphasized the ne-
cessity of students knowing how
to use fire-extinguishers and sand
bags. Health and exercise were
also recognized as -important in
preparing for defense.

It was decided to postpone the
voting for May Day until Decem-
ber, so that the problem can be
presented to the students and con-

sidered. A competition of one-act
plays in which only freshmen
would participate was discussed,
and also the necessity of increas-
ing the personalization of Fresh-
man Week.



Junior Elections

The Class of 1943 an-
nounces the following elec-
tions: President, Sally Matte-
son; Vice-President, Teresita

De Laguna and Crew Explore
Early Sinaguan Civilization
Near Flagstaff



Twenty miles east of Flagstaff,
Arizona, on the border between the
Painted Desert and the pine for-
ests of the Coconino Plateau; is

Cinder Park, scene of the Archae-
ology dig conducted this summer
by Miss Frederica de Laguna. The
present and former Bryn Mawr
students who worked with her
were Katherine McClellan, Cath-
erine Coleman, Margaret Foote;
Alice Geier, Betty Read and Bet-
sey Dimock. Sydney Conner, two
Hopi Indians and a cook completed
the crew.

The Museum of Northern Ari-
zona, which collaborated with the
expedition, has been working out
a culture history of this area by
means of surface collections and
excavations at a number of sites.
They have been particularly inter-
ested in the remains of the now
vanished Sinagua tribe, who were
the northwesternmost relatives of
a group of ancient peoples known
as the Mogollon. The Mogollon
territories stretched from Flag-
staff into central New Mexico and
lay between the lands of the Bas-
ket Maker-Pueblo (Anasazi) tribes
in the north and the home of the
Hohokam is southern Arizona. The
Sinagua seem to have developed
extensive trade with both their
neighbors, and their culture grad-
ually took on many outside charac-
teristics. About 1800 A. D. when
a twenty-seven year drought
caused a great population move-
ment all over the Southwest, the
area around Flagstaff was aban-
doned and the Sinagua disap-
peared forever. The middle and
later Foci or stages of their his-
tory have been revealed by the. re-
searches of the Museum, but until

Last Supper Eaten By

Oral Blunderers

As Europeans Find Sausages for Ancestors



By Barbara Kaufman, ’43
Did you know that “one has

made too much of the growth,
term besides badly definite, in the
explanation of a character that de-
pends on human willingness and
liberty one has understood that to
be human, an adventurous human

. ” 2? This and many other
such scholarly and hitherto un-
_ known facts have been found
among the results of the French
Orals.

Evidence of a wide reading of
the New Testament is given. There
seems*to be a deep interest in last
stppers. “I] n’avait pu resister a

_Yreceuillir leur’dernir soupir” may
_ mean: “He could not resist gather-
ing them together for their last
prayer,” or “ . . recoiling from
_their last supper,” or — as some

dprder story or Borgia fan puts,

— : cooking their last sup-
oy (I.E. to send them to the
grave),” or, more specifically, “ .

poisoning their last meal.” There
are some rather pathetic pictures:
“The old people who were dying
could not resist recalling their last
supper,” or “In about five hundred
pages, the little children became
old maids, and he could not: resist
picking up their last supper,” and
_even “Having become’ old folks



with the death rattle (in their
throats) he covfld not resist catch-
ing their last sigh.” But the real
character of the person in question

is finally revealed when “the little
children become old devils and he
could, not resist from enjoying
their last moments.”

The meaning of embolism, has,
it seems, numerous possibilities. It
can do all sorts of things to you:
you can be “filled with an embo-
lism to bring the poor girl to the
last .15 lines;” “An embolism,”
now apparently a form of vehicle,
“brings the poor girl within 15
lines of the end,”, and a man can
be “true to himself in an embo-
lism.”

This same mercurial and emboli-
cal author devotes a book to a
“feminine heroine,’”’ whom he keeps
alive-for several hundred pages.~

Someone wisely remarked: “The
Unknown, a term badly defined
among others. ....” A certain
author apparently teagd more and
more into his initial self,” until,
finally, the Greek Goddess of
“Criticism herself, which had en-
couraged his beginnings, began to
be less enthused about him.”

And a wealth of miscellaneous,

but obscure and valuable, informa-

League to Sponsor
Lectures Connected

With Defense Work

In connection with the courses
for National Defense, the Bryn
Mawr League will sponsor a series
of lectures on nutrition and Work
in the Community. The course is
intended primarily for those in the
League who have worked with
children, but is open to anyone in-
terested. It is probable that the
importance of such work will in-
crease with the growing effort for
defense.

The first lecture will be on
Thursday evening, October 23,
when Miss Kraus will speak on the
work women can do in the commu-
nity. Following this lecture, on al-
ternate Thursdays, other members
of the faculty and the heads of the
Haverford Y. W. C. A., and Com-
munity Center will speak.



Every other Thursday evening,
Dr. Doyle will lecture on nutrition
in the Biology lecture room at 7.30.
He will discuss the theoretical ba-
sis of the nutritional requirements
of children and adults, and the
methods of estimating the value of
various types of food. If enough
interest is shown, he will supple-

ment the course with practical

Rules of Cut System
Stated by Committee



At the beginning of the new
semester the Cut Committee wishes
to bring the regulations regarding
the cut system to the notice of the
student body. Each student is al-
lowed the same number of cuts in
one semester as she has hours of
class in one week. The only excep
tion is in the case of labs which
are counted both in calculating the
number of cuts allowed, and in de-
ciding the number of cuts taken, as
a third of a cut per hour. The
committee sends out cards each
kmonth notifying students of the
number of cuts taken and the
number remaining. Any one who
is late for-a class must report her
lateness to the dean’s Office imme-
diately after the class. Otherwise,
any cut given her by the monitor
will be counted in the number of
cuts taken. Penalties consist in
the subtraction of cuts from the
number allowed for the succeeding
semester, or, in severe cases the
subtraction of credit. ,

bers.

The first game of the season for
Bryn Mawr was replete with bril-
liant plays. Most of the play of
the first period was on the Yel-
low’s half of the field. The Owls
smashed down the field with an ex-
ceptionally well-balanced forward
line and kept the game at high
pitch with their close play around
the Yellow’s goal.

After the Yellow’s All-American
team goalee, made a clearing hit,
Connie Lazo hit a hard rushing
shot for the first goal. Phe few

Mawr’s goal was proof of the solid
defense work of the halfbacks and
fulls. With fifteen seconds left to
play in the first half, the Owls
were taking a corner when Fran-
nie Matthai received the ball from
Connie Lazo and put it cleanly into
the goal, a very difficult play to
make.

With two goals scored against
them, the Yellows were fighting
hard in the second period to regain
lost ground. It was then that the
defense’s steadiness became appar-
ent. Not only steady, but swift,
the halfbacks pushed up behind the
forward line and then back down
the field again when the Yellow’s

Candidates for Self-
Gov't Vice-President



Since Mimi Boal did not return
to college, an election will be held
this week for a new Vice-President
of the Self-Government Associa-

in the Constitution, which states
that “should the Office of Vice-
President become vacant, a new
member of the Executive Board
shall be first elected and. subse-
quently a new Vice-President shall
be elected from among the mem-

College Launches
Its Third Annual

Activities Drive

nan Sy

Canvassers Appointed



Amount Pledged Optional;
Standard Contribution
Nine Dollars

Today the third Bryn Mawr Ac-



tivities Drive began.
perimentally in 1939 as the big
drive to end all smaller drives, it
may be considered now—after two
successful years—as an institution.

Included this year in the drive
are: the Bryn Mawr League, with
all its sub-divisions, the Summer
Camp, Hudson Shore Labor School,
the Players’ Club, the refugee
scholarship, and foreign and do-
mestic welfare. The executive
board of the Activities Drive is to
manage this last part of the fund
instead of the Peace Council, which
was dissolved last spring.

To be a success the Drive, which
will ‘last a week, asks that every-
one cooperate to the best of her
ability. Nine dollars is the stand-
ard contribution asked from every-
one, but the actual individual
amount is optional. Those who
can give more are encouraged to
do so, and those who feel they can-
not afford the whole nine dollars
are asked to give what they can,
for the benefits resulting from the
Drive—such as free plays, remov-
al of constant soliciting and aid to
charities and to League work—are
common benefits.

Canvassers for the Drive have
been appointed, and each hall has
a chairman. They are: P. Well-
man, Rhoads South; J. Perry,
Rhoads North; E. Vorhaus, Mer-
ion; M. Calahan, Denbigh; S. Lip-
pincott, Pem East; L. Lewis, Pem
West; K. MacAusland, Rock; S.
Matteson, German House; V.
Dzung, Wyndham, and J. Shaffer,
Non-Res. They and their commit-
tees will hand around pledge cards
to be filled out.

High-Pressure Nose Spray Investigated; .
Infirmary Pulls Color Trick On Sniffles



By Alice Crowder, ’42.
“They told me my tooth was dy-
ing and gave me an aspirin.” This

recent. manifestation. of _ intense

sympathy on the part of the In-
firmary is amply compensated for
by a new and potent substance
which goes into the nose sprayer.
It is so potent that after a dose, it
is said, it is impossible to see. One
stumbles coughing and choking |
through the gray door only to find
at the gateway of liberty a white
clothed figure glimmering dimly
through the darkness. “I’m sorry
we made you sicker,” it says. All
this when one entered with a mere
sniffle. The new era has definitely
commenced.

Victims snuffle out that the pri-
mary characteristic of the spray is



that it hurts. A warden testified



to me fact that yes, they did all
come back much worse than when

they left, she had wondered why.
But, unsatisfied with the evidence,
we sent down a stooge to record
her reactions as they occurred. The
stooge camd back green. What,
the nose spray? Yes, it had hurt,
but that was just her nose. How-
ever, she had made a scientific re-
séarch into the gargle, had. asked
what it was, why it was, and so
forth, questions in great profusion.
The answer: the same old thing
with color removed. The signals
did get mixed up but it is now. pos-
sible to generalize on the phenom-
ena.’ When we’ were children we
had colored gargle pills and pleas-
ant sniff sniff kind of nose spray.
But now we are men. The nose

spray at all events does the trick,

so say the men who use it.

We Had a Réason

We're here, aren’t we? We/came for a reason and it must
have been a pretty good one. Jt couldn’t be one that we'd forget
in a minute. It wasn’t exactly just one reason, either. We came,
really, for lots of things. “Sure, we wanted an education, better
than could be gotten at mést other places. And we wanted a chance
to think for ourselves,“ We came to a smaller college so we could
meet and know lots of people besides our few close friends. We came
here so each one of us could be an integral and essential part of the
structure. We wanted to prove that the whole is more than the sum
of its parts. /We thought that Bryn Mawr had more than the
others and we realized as soon as we got here that we were the ones



that made it so.

But sometimes we forget. We forget everything except
quizzes and papers. Or we forget everything except that we have
unlimited weekends. We forget that we’re each of us an important
part of it all and we laugh at Self-Gov. We forget that we want to
make our own decisions and we just echo other people’s opinions.

Somehow _it’s forgetting that we’re each an important part
that’s saddest. We get sentimental about the bigger things, such as
Lantern Night and May Day, but we don’t have a true sentiment
for everyday Bryn Mawr. We go our own separate ways and take
without ever giving. We forget that you can only take from college
as much as you give. We’re handed every opportunity to be soft,
and we take advantage of them all. We overlook responsibility and
think: only of privilege. We don’t seem to realize then that we can
be individualistic without being self-centered. So we’re not a social
group—we’re just an aggregation.

But sometimes we do remember. We hear a good lecture, or
we find a companion where before there was only a face, or we see
Taylor and the old green bell tower against the night sky, and we
remember. We reniember and we’re sorry that we don’t remember
all the time.

Because we’re here, and we all. know why, don’t we?



an and Society








The essence of. rly society is not law, but the acceptance
of law. A mere aggregate of people will annihilate itself unless
based on a common agreement as to the extent to which self-inter-
est may be carried by one individual before violating the rights of
other Individuals to act in accordance with their own desires. As

the word socicty implies the effective existence of such an agree-|

ment, the word /aw implies its acceptance. If laws are made not
by agreement, but by an individual, the right of that individual to
regulate society from above must be uncontested or contested by

the numerically -few.—If it were not so, half_a_nation would be | vestigate the organizations to which you contributed. You had no

required to coerce the other half-—and the policemen would still
be those who accepted the basis of order.
The problem can be illustrated by the mechanics of the govern-

ments of the world; it can be illustrated by Self Gov. The aggre-|

gate in the latter case is a small group of selected individuals bound
together by a common purpose in their common life, isolated from

corrupting influences of the larger, less selected group outside, and|worthy. The Players Club, the Bryn Mawr Summer Camp, the‘

regulated laws over which the individuals themselves have direct
control. If there are flaws in the goverriment of so ideal a com-
munity, men must reconcile themselves to the fact that society in
its complete sense is impossible. The flaws, however, in the college

PENN POINTS

By Jessie Stone, ’44



By order of LaGuardia, an Of-
fice of Civilian Defense for the
Philadelphia metropolitan area
was created almost three weeks
ago. To date no one has been ap-
pointed to the chief office of Re-
gional Co-ordinator. Despite the
lack of a-@g-ordinator, Civilian De-
fense in Philadelphia, jolted by
critical publicity, began to take
stock of itself and move ahead,

Before the wake-up punch, for
instance, the Air-Raid Warden
Service under Assistant Superin-
tendant of Police Guy E. Parsons
had waited in the. police stations
for people to offer their services.
“Organization” now becomes tlte
tactic, “To the People,” the slogan.
And accordingly forty-six district
zone wardens are appointed. Each
zone warden enrolls ten assistants,
and the citizenry is directly ap-
proached. With oné zone having
completed its quota and others
near their goal Philadelphians may
now anticipate air-raids with mod-
erated fear.

A step. to integrate the many
Civilian Defense groups and conse-
quently prevent over-lapping of
function and other ills fostered-by
lack of central organization has
been taken by the Women’s Home
Defense, Association. Composed of
members of .forty-two organiza-
tions the Association has changed
its name to the Civilian Defense
Volunteer Office for Philadelphia
and asked Dr. Owen, Chairman of
the Philadelphia Counéil of De-
fense to supervise its. activities.
The C.D.V.O.P. is now to be lim-
ited to registering, training, and
placement of volunteer workers in
defense services’ and community
agencies.

For the past week Bombers from
Mitchel Field have been. conducting
nocturnal flights over the Philadel- ,
phia area. The powerful search-
light. beams, the drone of the plane,
the great number of rank-and-file
Philadelphians already involved in
the air-raid services as wardens
and spotters, and the consequent
news publicity have all helped to
create a general awareness and in-
terest in Civilian Defense.

On October 11 a one-day All-
Philadelphia Conference on Social
Work under the general title “Im-
pact of Defense Program on our
Community” met at the Bellevue
Stratford Hotel. The morning ses-
sion was highlighted by the speech
of Dr. Hubley Owen who enthusi-

fields. Mark Star, director of cul-

the New York State Labor Rela-

West Park. Mrs. Roosevelt invited
the entire school to her Hyde Park

lent them bathing
watched them swim in her pool,

served ice cream. She gathered
them around her on the lawn and
chatted easily with them about
civilian defense, labor and the war.

Bryn Mawr maintains an active
interest in the Hudson Shore Labor
School. Miss Park is a mémber of
its Board of Directors; Miss Fair-

I. S.S.—
IT’S
THRESHOLD

By Barbara Herman, 43







The publication of the Interna-
tional Student Service’s new maga-
zine, Threshold, should, if it lives
up to its aims, afford an interest- |
ing cross section of student liter-
ary activity. It has been started,
states its editor, Irwin Ross, as “a
non-partisan, non-religious inter-
collegiate journal devoted to the
publication of the best student out-
Lput in the way of articles, fiction,
verse, reviews.” Its major objec-
tive is to “arouse these literary
talents, to provide a medium. for
their first trial flights” as well as
to “reestablish contact between the
older and the younger genera-
tions.” This’ latter aim is evi-
denced in this issue by, contribu-
tions from Eleanor Roosevelt, Max
Lerner, and Daniel Boorstin.

On the whole this issue is taken
up with educational problems and
interests. There are articles on
Bennington and Antioch colleges
written by students, a criticism of
big business tactics in universities,
by Daniel Boorstin, and . Mrs.
Roosevelt’s contribution, If I Were
A Freshman. The new Junior
Professional Assistant jobs in the
Civil Service, the work of the Stu-
dent Opinion Surveys of America,
and the development and work of
the work camps are also discussed
in articles by recent college grad-
uates. The one article on world af-
fairs is an analysis of the internal
disunity in China. Two stories,
several poems, and two short arti-
cles on books and music complete
the. table of contents. On review-
ing this it can be seen that out of a
total of fifteen -contributions, of
which there are nine full length
articles, eight of the articles are on
education and its _ by-products.
This seems like an unfortunate
leditorial choice. Dr. Charles
;Beard, in congratulating the poli-
cies of. the then embryonic maga-
zine said, “It is needed, for the
| youngsters are trying to think and |
are writing themes on great issues |
of life and society.” Granting the |
importance of educational prob-
lems and youth’s problems, and-the
value of the expressions in some of
these articles concerning them, it
seems to me that more of the arti-
cles could have been devoted to

Walker showed more punch and

excellent form but her swing was
not forceful, and she netted many
shots. The second set found her
hitting out with added confidence.
Walker, however, returned the ball
steadily from all parts of the

ones. But the effort must have
been tiring, as England ran the
score up to 4-1 in the final set be-
fore Walker regained her scoring
ability. Then showing amazing
steadiness and pluck, she cut Eng-
land’s lead down to 5-4, staved off
two match points, evened the score
at 5-5, and went on to lead 6-5, be-

Chairs; Drawer-Space
Given Upperclassmen
In New Writing Room

Rules have been formulated for
the use of the writing room off-the
main reading room of the Library.
The’ room, equipped by the class of
1907, will be for sophomores, jun-
iors, and -seniors. Students may
reserve a place.at one_table in the
writing room with the table draw-

er corresponding to their chair and

an additional cupboard along the
wall. Reservations will be for a
period of two weeks with a possi-
ble two weeks renewal.

Miss Reid, in making the reser-
vations, will favor those working
in -departments which have no
special libraries of their own, as
the science’ and art departments
do. The second table will be for
the use of those wishing to write.
The latter may reserve places on
the shelves in the side cupboard
for their papers merely by placing
their names on the edge of the
shelf. This table should be kept
free of all books and _ papers,
while books may be left on the
other. Freshmen may write in the
room. but may. not reserve places.

A supervising committee has
been appointed. Vivi French, ’42,
represents the Undergraduate As-
sociation, Nancy Ellicott, ’42, rep-
resents the English department,
and Miss Vogel, the Library staff.

Mac eighs Picn

ic at Potsdam as Germany
Invades Russia, Ride Troop Train to Berlin



By Barbara Cooley, ’42

It started in the fall of 1939 as
a -normal Junior abroad,
studying in Athens, living at the
consulate with her parents. By the
end of the next summer with an
unfinished archeology paper as an
excuse, Peggy MacVeigh per-
suaded her family to let her stay
on.

Greece entered the war. Five
weeks after the German occupa-
tion on June 5, 1941, the Mac-
Veighs left Athens by plane for
Vienna.

“No one smiled on the streets of
Vienna,” Peggy said. “After a
while at the hotel and restaurants,
people began to talk to us in
English. I think they were home-
sick for foreigners.”

The worst part of the trip was
the fifteen hour ride in a train
jammed with soldiers from Vienna
to Berlin. They were careful not
to talk to Germans in Berlin, be-
cause closing .of German and
Italian consulates in the United
States had greatly aroused official
feeling. But there was no rancour.
toward Americans among the peo-
ple, . who still remembered the
American distribution of food af-
ter the last war.

They never saw demonstrations
of public sentiments. The day the
Russian war broke out, the Mac-
Veighs had a picnic at Potsdam.
Everything was quiet; no one was
reading the two-page newspapers;
there was neither enthusiasm or
panic apparent anywhere.

Travelling was very difficult all
across Europe. Trains were in-
frequent and overcrowded; only
officials and armies owned cars,
and in Vienna there were not even
buses. Bicycles are the chief
means of transportation.

After waiting ten days in Ber-
lin for a plane, they finally ob-
tained a tiny car with a German
chauffeur and drove at night with-
out headlights down empty high-
ways through the Rhineland. At
the Swiss border there was a se-
vere examination by German —cus-
toms before they were led to a

art of mainlaind Greece during the
time of the aristocrats and under
Solon and Periander, from circa
685 to 525 B. C. :

The developments of these fifty
years were as diverse as the locales
which produced statues and vases,
as different in conception and idea
as the problems of each.city state,

The four important city states
of this time, Athens, - Corinth,
Sparta and Boetia, were all in the
same stage of naive, stylized art,
yet they differed in details and
interests. While Athens’ art shows
a care and pride, many statues
being similar in style, and perhaps
belonging to a school of art, Cor-
inth’s vases have a‘low quality,
which indicates concentration on
manufacture rather than on aesthe-
tics. In the same way, the histories
of these two cities differ. While
Athens was busy laying the foun-
dations of a democratic state under
the leadership of Solon, Corinth
was becoming a _ busy sea-port,
linking the commerce of East-and
West. Thus Athens was more con-
cerned over the abstract, while
Corinth was concerned with ma-
terial selling of her art products.

The belligerence of Sparta at a
time when she was solving the task
of keeping her slaves and depend-
ents in hand by military discipline,
furnishes many ideas to its sculp-
tors anf vase-makers, who depicted
war-scenes in their work, making
them colorful and heroic. Although
Boetia lacked the great individu-
ality of the other city states in
point of achievement, she added
her attempts at monumental stone-
carving to the progress in main-
land Greece.

Park Focus in Arizona

Continued from Page One
its beginning, since no Sinagua site
antedating 700 A. D. had ever
been dug.

This summer the Bryn Mawr ar-
chaeologists explored the earliest
stage of the Sinagua sequence,
which they named the Park Focus.
They excavated remains of houses
which had been built slightly be-
low the-former surface of the
ground but which are now covered
with about five feet of earth. On
the hard packed clay floors and in
the earth outside the houses they
found pottery, stone axes, corn
grinders, a few shell ornaments
and a pipe and other artifacts.
Most of the pottery. was the Rio de
Flag Brown, made by the local
Sinagua, but there was also some
grey and black-on-grey pottery
traded from the Anasazi, who were
evidently then in the late Basket
Maker III stage of culture, just at
the turn to Pueblo I. — Preserved
charcoal found in the ruins it is
hoped will date the site when the
tree rings have been studied. The
wood had been used as posts which
were set into the side walls and
supported the roof. The Park Fo-
cus is the oldest culture yet found
in the Flagstaff area.

Miss de Laguna says the exca-
vating at this site is not nearly
finished. She hopes to go back
another. summer .and excavate. at
other sites in the Park Focus not
so close to the frontier between the
Anasazi and Sinagua in order to
determine the culture of the pure
Sinagua.

Part of the expedition’s program
were trips to the Hopi Craftsman,

Consider the Daisies
By Gertrude Carrick
Undergraduate emotions provide

Gertrude Carrick, a recent Vassar
graduate, with the theme for her
first novel, Consider the Daisies.
It is a slender-plotted story hinged
together only by the normal chron-
ology of college ‘life and conclud-
ing naturally, if rather indecisive-
ly, with Commencement Day.

Flip, through whose eyes Con-
sider the Daisies unfolds, is the
editor of the Vassar Review. It
is hard to agree with her when she
cries, “I’m not a _ generalization.
I’m Frances Flippen,” for the read-
er’s reaction to Flip is closer to
her professor’s feeling: ‘‘You’re not
different from the others, actually.
You’re exactly like them all, only
more ihtense, perhaps.”

Some day a book will be written
in which college girls are treated
as individuals, not talked down, not
glamorized or typed, but evaluated
singly like any other member of so-
ciety. Miss Carrick has attempted
such. an appreciation in the circle
of Flip’s friends. Gary, the grown-
up child prodigy, begins to emerge
as an individual torn by conflict-
ing ambitions, but her personality
is lost in a melodramatic trial for
cheating. More successful is the



the Navy.

ishingly frank. The appreciation
and frank analysis of her char-
acter stand out as the key to what
Miss Carrick may do in some fu-
ture, more mature novel.

For those of us still in college
Consider the Daisies has only the
interest of the familiar, For oth-

matical college girl will simply be
misleading.
