We've been worrying about some-
thing pretty much these last few
days: WHEN is somebody going to
buy that $15 worth of baked goods
won at Red Arrow auction that
we've been reading about in the

For the sake of our cyclist-read-
ers, we'd like to call to the atten-
tion of the public the wretched
condition of the driveway from
North University avenue to Uni-
versity hall. Every time we go over
it we lose a couple of teeth (poetic
license-at that rate we couldn't
have gone more than 16 times.) It's
hill and dale, hollow and crag the
whole way.
WE think that something ought
to be done about it-not that any-
one asked US-and, considering the
success of previous Rolls cam-
paigns (such as our bicycle parade
Sunday, which got practically no-
where but contributed to man's
knowledge of the Arctic with con)
less valuable scientific data) we'll
probably have to go out and pave
the thing ourselves.
Rather than have that happen-
our hand jiggles so that it wouldn't
be much of an improvement-we
recommend that the University
give the matter its attention at an
early date.
Rather than continue to write
over the collective head of our pub-
lic, we hasten to present:

scales, is a signal.
"At least half of all adults
suffer from it at some time,"
says the U. S. Public Health
Service. In universities as far
apart as Pennsylvania and Cali-
fornia 50% of the men have it.
And the co-eds are not immune
either.
It lurks in the very places
where we all go for cleanliness
and health-on the edges of
swimming pools and showers-
in gymnasiums-on locker- and
dressing-room floors. It spite of
modern sanitation (you have to
