After a few years in the city of London as a part of the vast organization of Thomas Cook and Sons. Tour ist Agents, he emigrated to Can ada. There he was trained as a teacher at Regina Normal School, Saskatchewan, he taught in rural schools, and proceeded to an hon ors degree in English and French, “working his way through college at Queen’s University, Kingston, Ontario. While an assistant in English at McGill, Montreal, he took his M.A., and thereafter lectured, first at the Royal Military College of Canada, then affiliated college of the University of Western On tario. The year before the war, previous research and residential study received concrete acknow ledgement in the degree of Docteur de L’Universite de Paris —one of the last degrees conferr ed before the outbreak of hos tilities. Appointed to the British Coun cil in Egypt, he spent the war in the Middle East as lecturer at the American University of Cario, and for the most part at the Uni versities of Cairo Alexandria, as well as being attached from time to time to Middle East Military Headquarters. Since 1946 Dr. Rand has taught in London, Hong Kong, Jamaica and South Africa. At first a specialist in a Durban Natal High School (1955-56), he was promot ed to the Chair of English at the University College of Fort Hare, the black African seat of higher learning affiliated with Rhodes University, at Grahamstown, in the Cape Province of South Af rica. When the African govern ment took over the college by Act of Parliament in the late 1919’s most senior officials were either dismissed or resigned in an inci dent unique in the history of aca demic freedom; and it was thus reported in the world press. Since that time. Dr. Rand has been lecturing in Australia at the Uni versity of New England, a small but growing institution half-way between Sydney and Brisbane. Dr. Rand is now a professor at Bennett and head of the De velopmental Services here. 3 Fine Stores for your College Needs Thalimers- Ellis Slone Summit - Friendly- Downtown POETRY TO BE OR NOT TO BE (In answer to a rumor on campus) In the depths of the blinded brine Lies the tombs of the little mind. Little minds, surely dead, but still alive That discuss the issues of their little times. Burning in the watery grave Floats the little idea of their days It seems, they say, the lady octo pus Has started now to misbehave. The lady octopus, that eight-leg ged eel Is neither lady nor genteel For now she’s seen, or I am told to have found appeal in a lady marigold. Oh, vile disgrace! My day’s to see when sex with sex live peacefully I hear she even walks with her I’ve heard them say she talks with her. I wonder if they even kiss She’s certainly not a social miss! Anyone who is seen with her Must certainly be in cohoots with Lucifer. Above the water on the green Unseen by those still submarined Lies the ruffled grace of Idle Gossip This lady decided to take a dip. Down into the darkened depths she dove And if the truth we ere to be told That lady told what she had heard From the sister of a neighboring mockingbird. She said, “now girls, I don’t be lieve a word But I was told by the mocking bird That never a happier pair was to be seen And that the relationship was very clean.” “But this is only a lot of wash For I saw them share a mackin tosh You know I’m not one to prevari cate But I’ve grown to siuspect that bird of late.” Now let’s leave our little grave yard group To find the real chickens in the soup The octopus and the marigold Were just close friends, or so I’m told. —Andrea Mast LETTER TO EDITOR Dear Editor, For the first time in three years I was really embarrassed in Ohapel. Today, at the Founders’ Day Services, there was a great leal of unnecessary rumbling, .'umbling, and whatever other vords would describe such ac- ;ions. As adults we will attend many activities in which we would want :o be elsewhere but we do not ;how our disinterest in S'Uch an )pen manner. The loud “sighs” we can save until we are with -hat certain someone. CORNER A VISIT TO THE SENIORS T’was the night before gradua tion, when aU through Cone HaU Seniors were gaily celebrating," having a ball, When out on the lawn there rose such a clatter, they ran to the windows and cried, “What is this matter”? Tho President just announced you can’t have your degrees. Oh no, they cried, oh why? Please! “This class,” she replied, “has gone their limit. They’ve changed this institution and all that’s in it, They’ve assumed quite a bit, they’ve inquired of me not, And now matters in the central committee are stewing hot! Now you’re wanting to leave but mind you it’s too late I just have to tell you, you can’t graduate!” But we’ve got our honors we’re ready to go! Sorry girls but I must say No! But who has ever heard of a whole class retained, or a class finished four years yet who remained? Students Attend The "All-Bennett" Picnic The Student Union sponsored the first faculty-student picnic, Saturday, October 10. Swimming, basketball, and tennis were but a few of the recreational activities held in the new health and physi cal education building. Prizes were given away in the Union where a carnival was given. Later on in the dance area other prizes were given away for com petitive dancing.

My brain’s so ruined its left with a strain. Such screaming and noise you’ve never heard before, Those sweet little girls that all adore. They can’t get their degrees, but with joys I teU, T’was only a dream, it’s just Oc tober, there’s the Chapel Bell!
