" ... It's time
for a change!"
-Thomas E. Dewey,
campaign speech,
San Francisco
Sept. 21, 1944
In the recorded history of mankind there are numerous in-
stances of seemingly impregnable empires brought to a sudden end.
Scholars are fond of discovering exact causes for these declines, often
citing economic collapse, internal dissension, and ill-equipped lead-
ership as prime suspects.
But the real and inevitable leveler is nothing other than time. Bill Reed, Big Ten Commissioner

Parade Tomorrow!
Heller, a former trombone player from New City, New York,
laughed in his inimitable manner at his appointment last night
and chortled "I knew it all the time."
This fivesome represents what has been called by some the "new
wave" in journalism. Their combined style is one showing the wide-
spread influence of baroque, romantic, and Dada writing. Heavy on
the Dada.
It promises to be an exciting year under the grip of these tal-
ented young editors. They will no doubt garner their fair share of
muck-raking, grid picks, and controversy in the coming year. They
will take over completely and gradually erase the memory and
influence of Norton and His Friends.
But next February the Mallet will descend once more. Dust

.Death of. a
Column Head
See that column headline up there? (That's the box that says
"The Vandals and the Brokenheads"). It's ugly, isn't it? And you
don't know what it means. Well, nobody else does either.
Today, hopefully, is the last time anybody will see it.
It was chosen by this past year junior staff members as a com-
mon headline to last one year. A few guys thought it was "cool" and
the greatest in-joke of all time. And nobody could cynically react
to the humor involved, because they wouldn't get it.
The thing about college students is that they're more cynical
than anybody else and they don't give a damn about much more
than themselves and their superiority complexes. That's the prob-
lem about trying to publicize anything.
The suspicion is that people would treat a normal plug about the
upcoming Big Ten Swimming Championship like they react to an
advertisement on television-ie., the quaddies try to outshout each
other with mock shreaks and Bronx cheers, and the seniors go out
and get another beer.
So all you're gonna get is pictures of four divers, all of whom
will be in Ann Arbor over spring break, competing in the Big
Tens. They could be the best in the world.
Nobody can say now whether these will even be the top four divers
at the- meet. After all, Ohio State has Chuck Knorr and Wisconsin
has Julian Krug. The reason these four in particular are shown is that
three go to Indiana and Fred Brown goes to Michigan. They represent
the chances of their respective teams to win the meet. The feeling here
is that Indiana has a 75 per cent chance, Michigan has a 25 per cent
chance, and nobody else has any.
In a day or two, the times and cost of the three-day meet will
be announced.
Talk about cynics.
