During exams the library staff plans to take inven tory of our books. For this reason, all books are due today. “Oh, I forgot my book!” “Gee, I lost that book!” “This book must be one of the thousand in my locker!” These cries will be heard all day. Some will be sad because of the money they have to pay. Oth ers will say they couldn’t get to the library. ^or your convenience a box has been placed outside of the library into which unclaimed li brary books and books due (not over due) may be placed. Here- to-fore, many books have been lost and many students had to pay for them. However, the price of books is steadily increasing and the mon ey collected for lost books is not enough to replenish the ones lost. In order to get these books re- placed^ money is taken from the library budget and added to that collected. This decreases the bud get which is used to buy new books. We ask that students finding books return them to the library as soon as possible. Keep your eyes open for lost books! You may save someone some money!

Seems as though some of our Whirlie sporting fans are not so sporting after all. There’s a certain group, no names given '\ keep this article from becoming a gossip column, who attend every home game, but not with the same purpose of cheering as the rest of us ^o for. These people demand attention, and they can easily attain it. No matter what the ref may call, whether a fair or unfair call, boos and the sort screech out from the larynx of these comedians. Most of the time, they don’t even know what’s going on the floor and what’s more don’t care. But if they can get people to say “Listen to that, would ya’ ” they feel as if they’ve achieved something. You can just as well be a loyal fan without booing, and you can be even more of a good sport. Listen, I can yell just as much as the other fellow, whether my^unathletic frame backs me up or not. These two big ears and a long nose feel just as strongly about the Whirlies as anybody else. GRECO VS. JU-JITSU Was watching the grapplers grapple the other day, when all of a sudden I saw before me two-hundred, twenty pounds of muscular masculinity engaged in combat. There were two distinct figures before my eyes, twisting in, out, and around each other as if they were each made of plastic, named one Greco, the other Ju-jitsu. This match was nothing like the movie, or professional wrestlers. These boys were strictly legit. I was betwixt. So were these wrestlers. Greco tried every hold he knew, but both failed. Se he was now on the defensive. Now Jitsu took full command of the situation. He circled his opponent very cautiously, both arms in action, then he made his move. As precise as a rattler’s bite. He made Greco suffer. First, he twisted his foot, then another foot, and finally his third foot. But both were built like solid bricks of granite, neither able to gain to advantage. So their matador, a pretty big fellow himself, went out to the middle of the mat and called this meeting to order. “Okay, boys, only five more minutes to go.” “Ready on bottom—ready on top (I always was a little backward) wrestle.” Greco was on the bottom, and immediately he ups with his right leg and throws his worthy opponent to the mat. So now both were up, hands slinging slyly at their sides. And at this moment, they both locked horns. Neither were budging. Neither would budge. Everybody was screaming, I was trying. Greco got a half nelson, and Ju-jitsu got the other half. And then. Slap. The match was over, and it ended with both fighters still deadlocked. I went over to get a closer view of the boys, and maybe an interview. It turns out to be two friends of mine. Both are on this year’s wrestling squad, ably led by Coaches Lody “Matador” Glenn, and Claude Manzi. It might pay you to attend these wrestling matches. Their boys work hard every day, and sometimes on Saturday. It’s a great sport, good body builder, both mentally and physically. They train Ihrd, for it takes hours upon hours of strenuous activity before you can really be in shape. These boys are your ‘athletes’, just as your footballers, bas- ketballers, etc. If you really look at it, you owe it to them to go to the meets. They have a hard schedule, but with supporters to support them, it might make pretty much difference in the team’s spirit. All home match will be held in the new gym, and you will find the schedule elsewhere on the sports page. Oh, by the way; that little narrative was actually based on authentic material. Playing the part of Greco was Jakie Giles, and Jitsu Bobby “I.,ittle Wolf” Brown. Both are topnotch prospects to do some grunt- and-groaning on the mat this year. Good lucks, boys, and bon voyage.
