A Flea Michael
Suspects Archie

by Debby Ham

A small irate flea jumping up
and down on a bottom key of the
typewriter ceased his violent ac-
tivity in, and pointing his cane at
the editor-in-chief said, “My name’s
Michael, and the M doesn’t work.”

“Who are you?” the editor-in-
chief demanded while the other
editors opened their mouths in un-
ison.

“I just explained,” he said tap-
ping his cane on the space bar, “My
name is Michael, and my name
will always be Michael even if your
‘M’ never does work.

At this pronouncement the poor
little beast, who was perspiring
heavily from his exertion collapsed
on the key, and his big eyes filled
with tears.

We-all looked at each other wond-
ering what to do. “I can make it
work,” said the efficient managing
editor, who could always make
everything work, and she was
about to punch ‘M’ and exterminate
Michael, but with cries of alarm
we detained her.

“Don’t be hasty,” the copy-editor
snarled. :

“Just sinus, just sinus,” Michael
said, recovering somewhat, and
wiping away a large tear.

“I suppose you’re one of those
journalistic insects,” the editor-in-
chief sighed.

“Say perhaps: he knows Archie,”
said the make-up-editor, who. al-
Ways was something of a hero wor-
shipper. Michael drew himself up
to his full stature and to emphasize
his forthcoming words, whacked
three times on J, “Archie is a pre-
tentious literary innovator. _He
could capitalize if he really wanted
to, and punctuate too. He claims
his head is tired from butting the
keys, which is utter falsehood.
Furthermore his political views are
under suspicion and his oriental
religious notions are quite phony.
This incarnation busines is simply
a publicity stunt—nothing more,
nothing more. a

The modern generation is less
discriminating every day. I’m a
honest man, and make an honest

Cites Bryn Mawr’s
by Jan Wolfe

Newsweek’s special education re-
port of September 23” discussed
Bryn Mawr’s role in the field of
co-education, Prompted by this
fall’s statistics which showed that
of 1,170,000 women students in the
U.S., only 169,000 were attending
women’s colleges. Newsweek writ-
ers sniffed the air for a trend—
and also a feature story.

The news was made by the pri-
vate women’s and Men’s colleges
whose efforts toward co-ordinate
study programs seemed to empha-
sized the co-ed trend. The Russian

Institute of Bryn Mawr, Haverford

and Swarthmore was cited as one
of the earliest co-ordinate attempt
made by the Eastern colleges. The
need for greater efficiency and
economy spurred the Institute and
other programs like it into exist-
ence, but, as the writer pointed
out, “enriched educational and so-
cial opportunities were the plea-
sant by-products.”

The students themselves have
joined their cries to the plea to the
greater economy, and in some cases
have put their plans in action. Re-
cently a Princeton man asked to be
transferred to Harvard. Why? “I
am absolutely -sick of spending $50
every time I want to see a girl, I
want to be in a place where I can
buy her a cup of coffee and talk

about. Plato.” , _

The real encouragement however,
come from the college presidents.
Thirty-five were asked to comment
on the possibility of a trend toward



living: You’re going to have to fix
the ‘M’ ” he finished in a peremptory
tone, and he hopped over the ques-
tion mark, the period and the shift
key, waving his cane at us as he
left. :

Of course, there were also some
pessimists—Yale men who shud-

invasion—the president of Well-

colleges, not away for them” and a
psychiatrist who feared for college-

makes for discontent. Of course it
