PEABODY'SPAGE-
Dear People,
Well, here it is fall again and t ime to see what is doing around campus this year. So I hitched a r ide the other day in a blazer pocket and ended up at Westhampt on. While snooping around, I found a box of letters from a college "man " to a "freind." Some of th em were very interesting, and so I quote "Dear Mary,
"I was very pleased to hear from you. I had been meaning to write you and was glad to hear from you. I was real discouraged though. I wr ote quite a few letters when I first got here. Nancy, Roger, Bill, and you answered ( except I didn't write you).
" You'd love the library down her e. It's air -conditioned, has leather (imitation, I'm sure) walls, and record dept where you can go and listen to records.
"Nancy wrote about your date wit h Bill K. and he was late because they got stuck on the lake when their sailboat ran out of wind. Was that date fun? I alway s wonder what girls see in Bill. Must be something. What is it?
"Your freind, Mark." Dear old girl,
I a nd we are glad to hear from you. Don is working. I'm not work ing at all at all but wish I were , so prepare to be descended on next Wednesday, September 22, I think, anyway the very next one there is at all and thank you for You r invitation: The way things stand or sit now we will come by green motor vehicle which you no doubt remember as mother plans to come too to visit Wayne's rnother (do you know her?) and arrive between 10 a.m. and 12 on Wednesday, although if mother can' t come, we may come by train NOVEMBER, 1954
or s omething-anyway we'll let you know as soon as we know or shortly thereafter, but we will have to skip town the following Monday, so don't plan anything after that.
"Until then I remain,
"Yours truly, Mark."
"Dear Mary,
"So there. Never tell me I can't do anything again.
"I like your letters just the way they are. Casual. Informative . About school. Mutual friends. Unmutual friends. Mutual enemies. Etc. The more dirt and gossip, the better. If you can say something bad about someone, do. That's my motto. (Not really.)
"Please write. "Amicuus tuus, Mark."
"Dear Mary,
"I was glad to get your note and sorry it wasn't a letter. Nice about your moving. What, you vague thing, is your father going to do there? Where are you going to college? Why not VMI? You'd be so popular! (I'm being serious.)
"I have a dress rehearsal for a play I'm in tonight. Put on by the University players (isn't that impressive?). It is about a seance. By W. B. Yeats. I play, of all unlikely people, a minister.
"I'd send you a copy of my lastest poem-it's about Death, believe it or not-except that I've been sending copies off indiscriminately and can't find any. You didn't miss much.
"I better not write any more, because I have to get dressed for the D.R.
"Please write, Your freind and fiend,
Mark.
"Oh, the Players next play is by Gertrude Stein. I'd give anything to get a part in that!-M."
Dear Mary,
"I hope you are well. I am sorry I haven't written because I have enjoyed your letters.
With my job and all I have been very busy. I am an errand boy at the cotton oil mill, and get $41 a week, working 8 hours a day and 6 days a week. My job sure is a racket. I just sit here in an airconditioned office, for there are practically no errands.
"The mystery I've just finished reminded me of you. It's the Girl with the Hole in her Head. I especially enjoyed it because I figured out the murderers right at the beginning nearly. I'll send it to you if you want to read it.
"I've been listening to records recently. I got 'Showboat.' Real good. I like the songs, especially 'You Are Love.' Not to be taken personally.
"Well, I was just startled from my lethargy and letter writing I was given a job to do. I had to supervise a crew of eight who were sterilizing a railroad car. More fun.
"I've been home to lunch and gotten back. Exciting, what? I read an interesting recipe for orange sherbert made wi t h frozen concentrated orange juice, colorless geltain, and buttermilk. They say you can't taste the buttermilk. It sounds good, I'll have to try it.
"We're having a cricket epidemic at the mill. There's millions of the gooky things. They crunch when you (not to be taken personally) step on them. They leave a little sticky spot on the floor. I bet they taste salty. We even have our own breed of crickets here. One of their hind jumping legs is shorter than the other, so when they jump they go crooked and land on their backs. So these intelligent crickets just run around on all fours. They certainly are peculiar critters.
"So long for now.
"Your freind (FREIND, not FIEND), Mark."
"P.S. - Please write.''
Well, see you later. Peabody.
FASHIONS ... !Jarthe man
This is a fashion column for the college man. It is written with the hope that it will help you to buy and wear good and correct clothes. From time to time I will call to your attention new items in the men's fashion world. Whether you want to admit it or not, you are judged, to some extent, by the way you dress. Therefore it behooves you to be dressed correctly for all occasions.
I would like to call to your attention several things that are new to the fashion world this season. Back this year after a long absence, is the chesterfield topcoat. It has set-in sleeves and is cut straight from the shoulder with a fly front. One model is in gray tweed with a black velvet collar, and another is in brown tweed with a brown velvet collar. They both make very handsome coats. If you are buying a dress coat this year, these certainly are worth your consideration. Charcoal brown has been coming to the top the last several seasons and it seems to have reached its height this year. One suit in charcoal brown flannel, cut in the traditional three-button, flap pocket, center vent style is a good suit. Worn with brown and green ties, you would be properly dressed for almost any occasion. In prominence this season is the brown tweed sport coat. Worn with charcoal brown or gray flannel pants, it makes a very good outfit. There is also a charcoal gray coat with a small white pattern in it. Since so many here like to wear short jackets to class and around the campus, let me bring to your attention one in tweed cut just like your tweed topcoat only cut to finger tip length. Lined warmly, it
makes a particularly nice for campus wear. It seems that there have come upon the market, shirts in quite a variety of colors, pink, red, yellow, and lavender. Now I am not going to condemn them, but please, if you do wear them, try to co-ordinate your outfit so you don't look like a neon sign. Also I would advise wearing them only to sports events and other very informal functions. If you appear in some rather formal place in a pink shirt, you are going to find yourself very badly dressed in this conservative town.
Since Christmas is only a few weeks away, I might call to your attention certain items any college man would be glad to find under the tree Christmas morning. A set of brushes in a leather monogramed case makes a very nice gift for your roommate. There is a brush with a zippered compartment on top for toliet articles that is very convenient for overnight trips. Too, the leather shaving kit remains very popular and very useful. Since so many p eople persist in giving jewelry, why not be original about it? A set of cuff links and tie bar made from St. Christopher metals are very nice as are a set with his initials or fraternity shield on them. A cigarette lighter with the fraternity shield is very good. A personal slant on any gift is a monogram. A shirt or robe with his three initials certainly shows you are thinking of him. Books and records are always welcome as are toilet articles and accessories.
In a higher price range are typewriters, electric shavers, lugga g e, and clothes of any kind. If you are uncertain as to kind and size of clothing, you might just give a gift certificate and let him pick them out himself. When shopping, try to buy gifts that you think the receiver would enjoy and not necessarily something that you like.
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR.
People in glass houses shouldn' t throw stones. Lately there seem s to have been quite a bit of criticis m about the appearance of the boy s across the lake, but perhaps we should look at ourselves before we criticize others. This writer do es not pretend to be an authority on the subject, but isn't it somethi ng to consider?
Just how fashion-wi se are you ? Try the fashion score-board below and find out how you do rate. No peeking please.
1. What is the most promine nt material this season?
2. In general, is small or chun ky jewelry better fashion?
3. What is the newest thing since french heels?
4. Do you know the latest idea for mink? (We can dream can't we?)
5. The best news for college girls is what?
6. How is the best way to coordinate skirts and sweaters?
7. What is the big news in interfacing?
8. Are cigarettes old-fashio n ed?
9. What has been added to the sweater and skirt two-some?
10. Why should we stop ra iding our brother's and father's closets?
If you get all the right an swers then pat yourself on the bac k , but if you miss more more than t hr ee, well read on. Of course ever yone knows that the long taro look is "it" this year. It's flatteri ng to almost everyone except in it s extreme styles. The middy blouse and pleated skirt seem to be the favorite version of this, but it can be found in other styles too : The basic wool dress with a princess cut, party dresses smooth over the hips that flare out over pett icoats, over blouses of every descr iption, and suits with long, easy lines.
At first women thought th at this trend might try to elimin ate the waist line, but with a few excep·
tions, designers haven't tried to do this. This seems to prove that while once fashion designers were the dictators of style, now they have to rely on public opinion. Most women, we hope, refuse to wear styles that do not become t hem. By all means do not follow a trend if it is not becoming to you. N ew styles should only suggest new ideas, not take the place of one's own originality and knowledge of what is most becoming.
Kilts, or walking skirts, are an idea that have caught on in many places, but have you tried pricing t h em lately? Perhaps this has kept some from buying them that might ha ve otherwise done so. If you're h a ndy with a needle, here's your ch ance. Teamed with knee socks, t h ey're quite good looking. Jumpers are always good, but have you noticed the new dropped shoulder jumper worn with full-sleeved blouses? Collars that stand away fr om the neck are new, but not everyone can wear them. This has t o b e decided individually.
Dare to be different . (Though we don't recommend the spot light cha ser.) Try unusual color combinat ions. Pink and red has been a popular combination. But be careful, not all shades of pink and red look well together What about a deep burnt orange and soft yellow or a deep rich lavender and a pale pr ett y green? Little boy shirts are now available in these and many more colors at very reasonable pr ices. Besides the usual, tucking them into skirts, try wearing them over skirts with a wide, wide belt. For new color combinations, wear an unbuttoned shirt over a sweater, tucking them both into skirts, jeans , slacks, peddle-pushers, bermuda s or anything you like. To vary the sweater and skirt routine, why not try a V-necked sweater filled in with a scarf.
Many people wear glasses now, for re ading if for nothing else. (We'r e a studious bunch) If you do, use this opportunity to let go. Make yourself proud of them by NOVEMBER, 1954
buying frames that are pretty and will stay that way. While you're in the mood why not look at the recent shoe styles by Capezio. They're putting out a line of jeweled flats.
As everyone knows, the big fashion news on the Westhampton campus is the wool dress in every color and style. Without a doubt, wool dresses are the backbone and mainstay of a college wardrobe. Many people say that it is a tossup between suits and wool dresses, but perhaps everyone will agree that both are necessary and nice. One thing we should remember though, is that gloves give a finished look to any outfit. This is true whether one is going to church, shopping, to a football game, or what have you. They take only a minute to put on and add a great deal.
In always being well-dressed, the cost of the clothes is relatively unimportant. Much more important is the taste with which they are chosen and worn. Sometimes under statement is more effective that riotou s color, and vice-versa. This is up to the individual.

THE REIGN OF THE NIGHT
The city rested, silent and wondrous, its long arms stretched
Sighingly to the wind, its wet lips gently caressing the earth.
Slept and dreamed while milky stars breathed their aquatic breath
On the gently tousled curls and long gray stranded hair:
Unaware of sweeping passions, of sin that clutched
Heart, soul of knave, good man, of sorrow unrequited.
Those for whom the bell tolled that night
Screamed out their frightened anglish,
Cursed an earth whose guiding fingers had led astray,
Clothed as a wolf in soothing folds of night.
Clouds their patient mosaics weaving
Gathered to bend eager tongues and lick at cowering earth.
To swing on flightly wings o'er wretched hovels and massive structure,
Foaming and frothing its unleashed fury at despicable humanity
Slumbering unaware.
Sky its scintillated blanket hung like a great carpet over sleeping
City and shown down upon weary subjects.
Distant, yet a finger's touch to heaven.
Black, foreboding, yet crowned with magnitude and grace
To kindle the heart of lover, and soothe the mangled spirit of sinner.
East glazed, beckoning earth with patterned streaks of promise,
A world looked up in thanks and humble benediction;
Morning dawned
Clothed as inoncence in a cloak of dew.
--Mary E. Hix.

The University of Richmond football team has turned in its best season since the arrival of Coach Ed Merrick. Sparkling recruiting on the part of the coach has led to the great freshman and sophomore discoveries this year. The underclassmen have shown their berth on the team.
With its five victories and three losses, the team has managed to maintain at the top of the Southern Conference and National statistics. Following the eighth game, an upset victory of 14-6 by North Carolina State, the Spider eleven ranked th i rd in total offense, fourth in rushing offense, third in passing offense, fourth in punting, second in rushing defense, and held the first place in pass defense and in total defense in Confederate play. These records speak for themselves in describing the outstanding play of both line and back field .
Richmond's first victory came in the form of a 46-0 rout of a game Randolph-Macon team from Ashland. Lacking depth, the Yellow Jackets allowed Richmond to maintain its twelve year winning streak in the series. Louis Wacker completed a Tommy Theodose pass for the first tally and was soon followed by Ed Santore for the second. A fumble recovery by Bob Hallinan gave Wacker a chance to score again. With two successful conversions by Bill Thacker , the score at the half was 20-0.
At the opening of the second half, surprising power was found in Roland E v a n s, who in five pla y s, carried 42 yards to raise the edge to 26-0. Taking his cue from
Evans, Frank Pajaczkowski roared through the line on a punt return to score. The speed and talent of Sophomore George Riggs brought the score to 40-0. With victory in sight, Merrick sent in the freshman squad to gain experience, and with a final run, set up by Jim Hoffman and Marty Hartshorn, Ed Santoro made the finish a 46-0 game.
Hampden Sydney's Tigers were the second challengers to fall before the Merrick Machine. Four tallies set up through long distance running by Lou Wacker, Roland Evans, and Speedy Riggs, were followed up by pass completions by Phil Curley and Ed Santoro to make the final tally 40-0. Outstanding line play by Co-captains Bob Sgro and Bill Thacker, enabled the UR squad to protect its unscored upon record.
Going into the Virginia Military Institute game, the Spiders were confident of a win. But, the surprise team of the season upset the Merrickmen to the tune of 19-6.
In the COLLEGIAN of October 1, appeared a preview of the VMI game along with a quote: "When we are green we grow, but when we think we are ripe we begin to get rotten." The Spiders were a little too ripe for the Keydet eleven which showed outstanding action in the form of Bob Boxley, Charlie Lavery, and a host of others on their toes for this game. The Spiders, however, showed occasLnal brilliance in their defensive play.
Beginning to grow again, the Spiders embarked for Charleston , South Carolina and the tilt w~th
The Citadel. Another COLLEGIAN quote, "A hard fall shoul d mean a high bounce if you ar e made of the right material," cam e true as the U of R fought t hrou gh a determined line to repent th e previous week's sins 26-0.
Under the quarterbacking of Bill BaZuer, although Theodo se made the first touchdown, Fran k P a jaczkowski, Lou Wacker, an d Ed Santoro were able to scor e Sophomore fullback, Jim Beck , shone with his pass intercepti on which set up the final TD as t he gun sounded
A new addition to the Merri ck family, a daughter, may ha ve caused some of the teams spark le, and the coach's, in this contes t.
The Spiders almost pulled off the upset of the year against t he heavily favored, unbeaten VP! contingent. Excellent play by Theodose, Wacker, Pajaczkow ski, and Riggs brought the UR t eam to the lead 12-6. Tech, overco ming the stunning blow, rallied to score two more TD's, and reached th e finals with a 19-12 edge. Tech Captain Howie Wright, and ace J ohnny Dean were injured in the fury of the fight, but top play by Billy Cranwell and Dickie Beard saved the first touchdown pass scored against the Spiders in two y ear s. Richmond showed the Nat ion's 14th ranking team the ha r dest fig ht of its season.

The sky becomes overcast, a breeze springs up:

The sky is a livid purplishblack; jagged flashes of lightning; a roaring wind bends trees to the gr ound; bits of trash race along th e gutter; sheets of rain are blown sideways by the screaming wind; cyclonic cacophony; people , tr embling, fear the holocaust.
TORNADO!

A doctor who will never walk again: leg torn off by a falling roof ...

A woman: buried alive two days ...
A boy: under tons of concrete
A hundred people or more: dead ...
A city: yesterday-sunny and happy; today-a hundred places empty, a thousand homes ,gone, a million dollars damage; radio gocasualties, the growing list of the ing day and night: announcing the dead, begging food , clothing, shelter, workers; men and boys digging day and night without food or rest searching for victims; girls and women helping the homeless; funerals all day, every day.
A city: like one destroyed by war-only walls remain of what were tall buildings; heaps of brick and plaster and metal lie about; squads of soldiers keep guard around the disaster area.
Five minutes ... and the world is different ... Tornado!

Outside massive gates , alone amon g the unborn.
Waiting for admission to the diaphanous dream,
Waiting to enter the city of glass - key to

Soon permeated with pain.
Incipient at last, endowed with blood and body
I stepped the step of seminal design and entered

Amazed, ignorant, and with self I lived to become

ASECONDCHANCE
KennethAnderson
"The same routine,' thought Lieutenant Hugh Curtis as he gently lifted the wheels of his fighter-plane off the runway. "Only,'' his thoughts continued, "this time it's got to be different." His hands grew clammy and his cockpit suddenly hot as the memory of the past two months rushed back into his thoughts. Whenever he remembered his first mission over Korea, he became a mass of nervousness and confusion. He always had to start at the beginning of the mess and review it completely before he could pull himself together once more.
"May eighth," his jangled mind kept repeating That was the day he had taken off on a routine (break-in) flight with orders not to engage the enemy unless absolutely necessary. Nothing had happened until they were about to turn around and head for home. Captain Hayes, his wingman, had just given the signal to turn when he noticed a silver speck off in the distance. They saw that it was a Russian Mig-15. Although they had received orders not to attack, Curtis decided it was too easy a prey and that he would make a pass at it. He turned to dive on the plane and had just begun his firing pass when he heard Captain Hayes shouting for help on his radio. It was then that Curtis realized the Reds had used the old sucker trick on him and that he had done exactly what they wanted. He had attacked the decoy and left his wing-man all alone, wide open for the other enemy planes which were flying much higher above them.
His body twisted and turned in contortions as he thought of how he had tried to turn and get back to Captain Hayes' side before it was too late. It was all over, though, when he got there. Cap-
tain Hayes' plane was wobbling and shaking as he fought to bring it back under control.
The pressure on Lieutenant Curtis' tortured mind became stronger as he remembered what a struggle it had been for Captain Hayes to bring his plane back to Kimpo Air Base, his home field. He succeeded in doing this in spite of his wounds and the bad condition of his plane.
Now as always the mixture of exhilaration because he had shot down the enemy plane and despair because he had disobeyed an order and caused his wing-man to be wounded brought him very near to a state of complete mental collapse. All his feelings were gone, and he all but lost his ability to reason.
What happened after that day was still a hazy picture in his mind; the publicity he received in the states for shooting down the plane on his first mission and the antipathy of his fellow pilots because of what had happened.
The events which followed-the court of inquiry where he received his sentence to be grounded, the investigation of his state senator to find out why he had been grounded-had all happened too quickly for his mind to grasp the complete meaning of them. He didn't know whether he was right or wrong, a hero or a bum. He did remember clearly the Colonel's crisp, sharp voice as he pronounced his decision at the hearing; "Lieutenant Hugh Curtis, this board of inquiry finds you guilty of willfully disobeying an order and of leaving your wingman open to attack." Then he continued, "Although we do not deem it necessary to court-martial you, you are to be grounded immediately for a minimum period of ninety days ." It was these words
that sunk most deeply into Curti s' mind and also branded him as a n unworthy member of the team.
During his sixty days of forc ed inactivity Curtis had thought continually of his mistake. He r egretted fully his error and it h a d become an obsession with him t o make amends for it. In some way he must remove the pressure of guilt from his worried mind.
Now he was being given a cha nce to redeem himself, but he had been in such a state of confusion for th e past two months that he didn 't realize that this might be his la st chance.
He had been oblivious of t he stares and looks of distrust of t he other pilots in his group dur ing the briefing as he had been st ru ggling with himself to keep his m ind away from the past.
He was well aware of the losses that the Fourth Fighter Wing h as suffered lately because he wa s always there watching the oth er planes come home at the end of a m1ss10n. Many times he h ad wanted to beg his wing comma n der to let him fly and do his share , but , knowing that this would onl y be another strike against him, he had never done it. The losses, he kn ew, were the direct reason why he was flying now . The rest of the pilots hadn't changed their feelin gs toward him; there just wer en't enough pilots and they had t o use him.
Forcing himself to shake off his thoughts, Curtis brought his mind back to the present and re a lized that they were nearing Mig-alley, that imaginary alley in th e sky where the enemy planes were most often encountered He looked around at the other planes in t he flight and checked his positio n He was flying in an eight man group which was scattered at different heights. Just as he turne d his

eyes back to the controls of his plane, number seven, piloted by Lieutenant Taylor announced over the inter-plane radio that a lone enemy aircraft had been spotted coming towards them about two thousand feet below.
"Who wants him?", asked the group leader, and before anyone else could utter a sound Curtis had screamed "I'll take him!" and was pulling out of the flight to make h is pass. In his excitement he had forgotten that this was the same sucker deal he had been trapped into before.
tion. He decided to make a wide swing and check this blind spot for them. In doing this he saw a flight of what he thought to be about ten planes flying above his group and forming to attack them. He shouted a warning to the other planes and aimed his at the nose of the leading enemy ship. The plane dove and headed directly at Curtis, with the rest of the flight following in a straight line. Curtis stayed on a straight course and started firing his guns at a distance of three thousand feet. He drove on directly at the oncoming planes, determined to stop them from destroying the other planes, and completely devoted to the task of redeeming his other mistakes. He was blind to everything but the job he had taken for himself.
Why The Muses Muse

While hacking a hunk of the moon's cheese of green
And springling the cosmos with stale Paris Green,
The Nothingness sat with a king and a queen
He had veered off to the left and started to dive when he became aware of the similarity of the situ ations and in sudden panic he misjudged his pass and missed the enemy plane completely. He was well by the firing zone when he calmed himself enough to turn his plane and formulate a plan to recover his position and cover his mistake. He noticed that his flight ha d been headed directly into the sun and could not see anything coming at them from that direc- at last he had "made the team."

And wondered.

Our European Allies Don't Like Us
Why do the En glis h, French, and others of all the free world seem so suspicious and antagonistic towards us? This question is in the minds of many Americans today; it is a perplexing problem. Who is to blame? This blame lies on both sides, but mostly on our side; a less significant factor is European jealousy.
The damage done to international relations comes mostly from the swarm of American tourists which descend upon Europe every year.
