A number of oth- er Lucan children also tried out. Lucan student attains degree There is something deeply disturbing about the attitude toward life of the modern North American woman. Men haven't really changed much, basically, since Juilus Caesar and his boys crossed the Rubicon. They still like to make war and make love; they still drink more than is good for them; they still like playing games better than improving their property; they still have some romance and illusion in their souls; they still loathe facing up to family problem in little "talks" with their mates. Take a modern politician, drape him in a toga, and he'd be right at home in the senate of ancient Rome. Take a mpdern general, hang a suit of armor and a helmet on him, stick him on a horse, and you wouldn't know him from a Crusader of the middle ages. But take a modern woman out of her modern kitchen, away from her wall-to-wall broad- loom and dump her in a thatched-roof cottage with out- side facilities and no deter- gents, and what would you have? A screaming m.eemie; that's what you'd have. Even if Mr. and Mrs. Will Shakespeare lived in the thatched cottage next door. This comment is written more in sorrow than in anger. I don't put all the blame on the creatures themselves. I think their greedy materialism, relentless really, and total lack of appreciation of the finer things in life—like their hus- bands—are a result of the stresses of the age. Too much warmed-over psychology. Too much hard-sell advertising. They all want to look like Paris models. But they don't do enough physical work and they eat too much. So they get fat. There's a stress right there. They all want their children to be handsome and brilliant. So they spend thousands of dol- lars straightening the kids' eyes \ ‘\\‘‘\ • arines, from Sunday to Wednes- day of last week. Rev. & Mrs. E. 0.
