Show The Mail Bov : Pig-Skin Hero? Editor: Imagine if you will Mr. Editor Edi-tor stopping across from t h e Kennecott Building to let your sister out (she may be an employe, em-ploye, if you like) and immediately immedi-ately hearing loud comp'aints being voiced by the Marlin, Barracuda, Sting Ray, or whatever what-ever denizen of the deep happens hap-pens to have taken a liking to your DKW's tail pipe all the way up fraternity row. Imagine also, Mr. Editor, having this vehicle with the strange name follow ycu into the Union Building driveway, whereupon, while you are stopped, its driver jumps out, opens the door of your car without permission, and after blurting a few incoherencies, slaps you in the face and dislocates dis-locates your glasses. Mr. Editor, I have long been irritated by the position which the pig-skin mongers have acquired ac-quired in academia. It has been a mute, brooding despair, the sort that drives one to drink. But now I have a real axe to grind and I intend grinding it to the handle. The Nietzschean type who is under the impression impres-sion that the world is one vast football field would do well to apologize and reimburse for the spectacles. Unless he does so I intend taking very drastic steps, among which are: doing my utmost in having him relieved re-lieved of his pigskin kicking status and having him arrested on assault charges whereas the police have informed me t h e y would be only too happy to oblige. I will spare you the diatrive concerning the august department depart-ment wherein our brash friend is being given the finishing touches to his spiritual and physical being, as I do not recognize said department as such. However, I do not consider con-sider the Nietzschean type as a completely lost cause, and with this in mind, I assure him that already knowing his name, I intend doing everything in rriy power to see to it that steps are taken to rehabilitate him, even if this includes having him forcibly forc-ibly isolated from the race until he regains some semblance of socially acceptable behavior.
