WASHINGTON ) - Yes,
there is a Santa Claus, and all
that sort of stuff, but you can
get one childish delusion out of
your spinning little head right
now:
Rudolph the Red-nosed Rein-
deer is a fake.
Reindeer are not red-nosed,
but are mean, nasty, temper-
mental, delicate, warlike beasts
who would as soon gore you as
look at you, and in fact, rather.
Fourteen of these unchrist-
maslike creatures came into the
Washington Zoo and nobody
had a good word to say about
them, not even a man who came
over from the White House to
say welcome aboard.

His great desire to have more
time to work with students may
result from his notion that to-
day's student is "more serious
minded, more self-sufficient, and
better prepared than were his
father and mother." They are
more interested in assuming their
responsibilities in life, he added.
Remembering back through his
years with the speech department,
Prof. Densmore noted that em-
phasis was largely placed on elo-
cution. Our elementary speech
courses are now based around the
development of practical com-
munication, he said.
Maintaining the importance of
good speech, no matter what pro-

NEW YORK - There will be
coeds at New York University up
town beginning in 1959.
Both University College and the
College of Engineering will open
their gates to female freshmen}
and transfer students, the first
women to be enrolled by the arts
college since its founding in 1832
and by the Engineering Day Di-
vision since 1854.
To accommodate the female
students a $4 million dormitory
will be erected. Construction is to
begin next year on the new co-
educational residence hall, with
completion scheduled for the fall
of 1980. The new dormitory wing
will overlook the Palisades.

Thinklish translation: In three-ring circles, this fellow's known as "Mr.

does his smoke-ring act, the tent's in stitches. Naturally, this world-famous
puffoon chooses Lucky Strike. "I like the honest taste," he says. A canvass
(or tent poll) of the Big Top shows that this is no freak sentiment.
DETROIT -- In a motion!
brought before Wayne State Uni-

Kelly, chairman of the history de-
partment, moved that the Council
express itself "in principal op-
posed to classroom appearances of
representatives of churches' and
other religious establishments for
the purpose of expounding reli-
gious doctrine."
The motion also asked that
President Clarence Hilberry re-
quest the office of Religious Edu-
cation to end its policy of class-
room appearances in the future.
Prof. Kelly said the appearances
were 'highly -improper in a secu-
lar, tax supported institution."

STANFORD, Calif. - An out-
break of food poisoning, appar-
ently related to the orange drink
sold at the Stanford-California
game at Stanford University has
recently stricken at least 146 stu-
dents on the California campus.
Only two similar cases were
found at Stanford.
"It was just a matter of chance
that infected batches of the
orange drink were on the Cal side;
thus it was definitely a one-sidedM
epidemic," Dr. George Houck, di-
rector of Stanford He'alth Service
said. But the disease was mild and
struck 24 hours after the game.

CINCINNATI -- As a result of
an editorial in the school paper of
the University of Cincinnati, the
College of Arts and Sciences be-

of mid-term grades last week.
The problem has been turned
over to the correlation commit-
tee of the faculty of the College.
Modification of the use of the
}mid-term grades rather than their
complete abolition may. be neces-
sary, Dean Charles K. Weichert
said. The value of midterms for
upper classmen is perhaps ques-
tionable, but freshmen, not used
to the college routine, need some
indication of their status, he
added.
COLUMBUS - The parking ar-
rangement on the campus and
