The others are Bob Napo- nic, Illinois; Frank Stavroff, In- J diana; Bob Long, Ohio State; Dennis Boothe, Northwestern; Ed Podolak, Iowa; and John Boya- jian, Wisconsin.

It was due Monday. I hooked my bluebook in the one course where I'm caught up. I had a history test postponed. It was supposed to be tomorrow Now it's three weeks from Tuesday- The leaves look oxidized instead of majestic in a rusty scarlet hue. I made my exit yesterday morning in a light jacket and froze. I'm still sweating 'cause I wore my parka in the afternoon. I ate 12 fig newtons for lunch. I am a cold scrambled egg. I am also getting tired of sports. Why does Saturday after- noon mean mandatory attendance at an open oval where I feel obligated to cheer for the team with the ugliest football helmets in the country-that yellow octopus looks like Mordecai Brown's first finger painting. Those afternoons could be spent studying, canoing, feeding guppies, hoarding pre '65 silver quarters, cutting my toe nails, or learning to tie a Windsor knot. I have the slop- piest looking tie knots in the world. I'm in a mood to hyberloate, violate, dilate, scintillate, and sleep. I feel like banishing home-made chicken soup from every atom- ized kitchen in the world. Is there no one else who can't blow a bubble. Fleer and Ba- zooka should go the way of the soup. The comics and noodles can stay if they mind their own business. So what if I have grey hairs. I can't see people when I'm driving a car at night- I have a lock with a combination 34-0-34. It sounds like a Jayne Mansfield doll looks. I keep it shackled around the handle of my dresser drawer. That's where I hide my white socks, used columns, and chopsticks. I don't need spoons once I do away with chicken soup. If airplanes are turquoise, why can't footballs be light green striated with narrow grey pin stripes and snap tab laces? Sliced tangerines are less sticky than strawberry lollipops. Wax paper is nice for moldly tangerines. Food is better without chicken soup on it. That brings me to the subject of this column - the UCLA basketball team. Man, they are really gonna' be good! And where does that leave the Idaho drought in relation to an Oregon famine? Oregon is a bad square and Idaho is a carbine with an oversized butt. Why aren't leaves ever blue? That would be a nice color for Philadelphia. Boston is obviously purple, and San Francisco is chartreuse and burnt orange. I like colors if, the world is kept in order. Eliminate ram- bling. Cease irrelevancies. Stick to the subject.

The sports staff has done the impossible twice in one football season. Our staff of precocious grid pick selectors have, forthe second time this fall, picked a pigskin encounter that features two teams that will not meet un- til the week after they appear in grid selection. First, it was Yale against Connecticut, in a battle of Gnats, now it is mighty Utah versus Arizona State. What's a night editor to do? One solution is to forget about the Utah-Arizona State game this week and run 21 games next week which was done earlier in the year. Another answer is to substitute the Utah-Arizona State game with a more thrilling match, say that of Niles East High School, Skokie, Ill. (where Chuck Vetzner served his time) against New, Trier East High School, Winnetka, Ill. While the game won't count as a grid pick, you might as well put it in your grid selections, to give us 20 games to grade. By the way, Niles East hasn't beaten New Trier in over ten years.
