pupils, with the definite exception of Giant - he just didn't care. Then one day in May, the seventeenth, I think, he left the way he came. Right in the middle of class, he got up and waddled out behind my desk. Mrs. Barclay was correcting papers and didn't notice. The rest of the class was trying hard to read about a trip to Europe. Only I, who was making an executor out of a shadow on the ceiling, noticed Giant leaving and saw the sweat streak off his red face. Only I smelled the body of an unbathed mammoth, and watched the torn, dirty white shirt and olive drab pants walking away. He paused in the doorway to turn and look at me with the oft-seen meaningless expression formed with squinting eyes and thick lips in a straight line. My eyes and mind wandered back to the head covered with a black cloth sack and to the hatchet coming down swift against a long neck, the red face into the bucket, the spurt of blood. I looked back and he was gone.

An editor yields his strongest force through criticism, although everything he criticizes is sublimated to magazine organization and, therefore, suffers from the deleterious effect brought on by a lack of material from which to choose. These two principles, organization and criticism, are the main concern of the editors and their function is to form the magazine. We cannot inspire you! We may provoke you and provide a means whereby you can express yourselves, or at least provide an attentive ear. Collection boxes for material will be placed throughout the college and we only ask that manuscripts be submitted in large envelopes with your name, address, and phone number on the outside. As far as limitations on poetry type or theme are concerned, we have none, except that it be your own original work. POETRY EDITOR, GORDON SORENSEN 35
