Entries for boys' and girls' intra-
mural bowling leagues will be ac-
cepted through 8 o'clock this after-
noon. Entries may be turned in at
the Field House or to Ken Kridner
at the Recreation Bowling Alleys
this afternoon. All students enter-
ing tiie bowling league must, have
their game averages turned in to
the Palace desk by S o'clock this
afternoon.
Six girls' and eight boys' teams
have entered in the bowling league,
it was reported late Wednesday
afternoon. Three of the five girl
organizations on the campus are
represented and there are prospects
that the other two will have entries
before closing time this afternoon.
The eight boys' teams are
sprinkled with holdovers from last
year's league. The team to beat
seems to be the Slipstick Stickers,
with Fox, Stamm, Scruggs and Bar-
tholomew rolling them down the al-
ley. Fox, with an average of 184,
led the league last season, while
Scruggs has boosted his average
from 153 to 175 during the summer.
The Guttersnipes with Buvens, Law-
ler, Shearin and Rafferty may eas-
ily give the Stickers some trouble
but this aggregation has not yet
been tested under fire.
Curtis Henry, manager of the
Palace, has consented to give point-
ers to the bowlers on their form of
play. However, this help cannot be
given while the bowler is rolling in
competition against another team.
Mr. Henry also stated that the stu-
dent rate that was in effect last
year will again be offered to the
students this year. This rate gives
the bowlers three games for fifty
cents. A fifty-cent intramural de-
posit must be put up before any
bowler may enter the league play.

Can the authors of the above let-
ter reconcile their sfr-t^iwiRfr11 with
the above excerpts or with the re-
view in toto?)
To the Editor of the "Thresher":
Dear Sir:
I am writing this to protest the
cancellation of the annual slime pa-
rade. Dean Weiser has long (and no
doubt rightfully) taken a firm stand
against hazing in all forms. If he is
preventing the parade from being
held for this reason, I believe that
he should say so in as many words
and not use our present national
emergency as the excuse. I cannot
see how "the uncertainty of the
times" can have any bearing what-
soever on this parade. It would cer-
tainly not interfere with any war or
defense activities. As far as "the ef-
fect upon persons outside of the In-
stitute" goes, I firmly believe that
the effect would be most favorable.
My personal friends here in Houston
have always assured me that the
spectacle was most diverting and
amusing. Certainly in these times of
war, a little lightness and frivolity
is not wholly out of place.
As to the hazing question, I recall
that as a freshman I had quite, a lot
of fun participating in the parade—
in fact, more fun than I did as a
sophomore. I have talked to a num-
ber of the freshmen around the
campus, and I find that they are
unanimously in favor of having the
parade. The parade, as I see it, is
harmful to no one; but, on the con-
trary, would most likely give a1
slight boost to the general morale.
If, in going against the policy of
the administration, I am stepping
out of line, I am sorry. This letter
will of necessity go unsigned as (if
it is published) I wish to remain in
the school until graduation.
Very sincerely yours,

New Books—
Continued from page 1
Chaucer, has long been interested
in the literature of the eighteenth
century. Of all of the literary monu-
ments of the eighteenth century,
none was in more need of a re-
examination than was Thomson's
"Seasons."
Dr. McKillop approaches his sub-
ject not only from the standpoint of
strict literature, but from the
standpoints of philosophy, science,
history and religion as well. New
evidence on the indebtedness of
Thomson to classical tradition is of-
fered. The famous poem is exam-
ined as a key to the ideas and de-
velopment of human knowledge of
the period of its writing. Dr. Mc-
Killop offers modern readers a crit-
ical but vivid interpretation of a
work too likely to be overlooked by
the casual student of English liter-
ature.
