Scene from choir's Christmas concert, held on December 7, Sunday
Alice doesn
any more
By Constance Irving
[A continuation of the Turbid
Tale, With Final and Fervid
Apologies to Lewis Carroll. In
Which the Author Attempts to
Squeeze the Goose Just Once
More, and a Bit Harder in
Somewhat Futile Hopes of Elici
ting as Golden Egg.]
Alice stepped into the busi
ness office and thence into a
lengthy line of students. As she
stood, she went over her tenta
tive schedule again and again,
wondering about it with a
mixture of anticipation and
dread.
"Registering for new cour
ses," said Alice aloud to no one
in particular "is rather like
Christmas presents. There are
always so very many of them
about, and they look ever so
lovely in coloured paper and
ribbon. One knows they could
be simply any wonderful thing
in the world, but it's always just
stockings again."
Suddenly she found herself
face-to-face with a rather be
draggled lady behind the coun
ter. "Pardon, please," said
Alice, "But could you tell me if
the classes on my schedule are
the ones for which I'm properly
assigned?"
"Well, yes, if you call that
properly A-signed. Frankly, it
doesn't look A-signed at all.
Bottom line on the right, my
dear."
"Doesn't SHE seem the flus
tered one," thought Alice.
"Come now, my dear,"
groaned the registrar,"bottom
line on the right, and we'll run it

through properly." Alice wrote
her name in the space sugges
ted, and the Registrar took the
card back to the terminal.
"It WON'T work, you know,"
said the Registrar, "You've
signed for a class you can only
take every other semester."
"But they told me that last
semester," said Alice, "I
thought I'd be able to take it at
this time."
"No, I'm afraid it isn't that
way at all," said the Registrar
"You see, it's offered every
other semester."
"And I would like to sign up
for it this time," said Alice,
quite confused by this point.
"No, no, no," clucked the
Registrar, "the course is of
fered LAST semester and NEXT
semester, but never this seme
ster This isn't any OTHER
semester, you know."
"I don't understand you,"
said Alice, "It'S.dreadfully con
fusing!"
"I'm sor v, but regulations
are regulat. Perhaps you
might petition the White
Dean," said the Registrar, as
she ran out of the room.
"Oh dear," thought Alice,
"I've had ever so much difficul
ty with pre-registration this
year. I don't even know where
my Cheshire-Advisor is any
more. Curious and curiouser!
Now I'm to see the White Dean
somehow, and I haven't the
vaguest idea where to find
him," she said aloud as she left
the building.

Martin Jones and Jan Earl
checked past figures for the

vered that $9,222.55 which went

was completely her oversight.

we should have $3,000 or
$4,000 The other money can
probably be borrowed from the

are of their organizations' funds
and stress the fact that they will
not suffer as a result of this
mistake.
