Zurich Citizens News, 1965-11-04, Page 15�r. k'( THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1965 ZURICH CITIZENS NEWS Fr - PAGE SEVEN URICH GREATER CHRISTMAS DAYS SUGAR and SPICE By Bill Smiley IIIA It's not until you get a son or daughter off to college that you learn what a simple, unso- phisticated, reactionary, narrow- minded, old-fashioned peasant you are. He, or she, will make it all quite clear to you on that first week -end home from the hal- lowed halls of learning. Every fall, the blood pres- sure of countless fathers sky- rockets, the tender hearts of hordes of loving mothers shat- ter, when the freshman student, beloved and cherished these 18 years, waltzes in with a bag of dirty laundry and a swollen ego. We've had quite a fall of it, in our neighborhood. With a sigh of relief, we shipped our gawk of a boy off to one uni- vesity, and amid floods of tears, the people next door sent their darling daughter to an- other. Both were home last week- end. And both sets of parents spent the entire visit alternat- ing with fury at the kids and shame at their own ignorance. There's no question about it. A college education is a won- derful thing. In a matter of three •or four weeks, smalltown kids who barely staggered through high school, and barely knew enough to change their socks or blow their noses, are transformed into pipe -smoking playboys or dashing, desirable women of the world. Imagine what a whole year will do! The •boys nonchalantly toss off a remark or two about beer parties; the girls light up a fag right there, while f a t h e r' s frown deepens and mother's jaw fall wider and wider. The boys, with a solid basis of three weeks' lecutres in po- litical science, curtly enlighten their dads on the asinine politi- cal ideas the latter have cher- ished for 20 years. The girls, secure in their three weeks of psychology, put their mothers into shock with casual comments on the neces- sity of •a full sex life before marriage. Both explain kindly to the old folks not only that all's wrong in the world, but also that God is no longer in His heaven. In fact, He isn't anywhere. He's just a "anthropomorphic pro- jection of the need for a father image?' Both point out that the capi- talistic system is driving us in- , to a neurotic pursuit of the ma- terialistic, that the •dollar is es- sentially an evil thin g. And both pocket, without comment, the extra 10 bucks you slip them on departure. Our kid has discovered a new system, in which you can get along on four hours sleep at night. This is done by sleeping all day, which he did on the week -end. He assured us that he has worked out a rigid work schedule, which begins at 7:00 a.m. daily. But a few minutes later, he let it slip out that he scarcely ever ate breakfast at the dining hall, because he slept in. The girl next door nearly fin- ished off her father. He gave her a blank cheque, the dope, to pay her first term's fees and residence dues, hoping he could scrape up the second term When it arrived. With admirable sangfroid, she filled in the cheque for the whole year's fees. Next day he received a call from his banker. He had to sell his last bonds to meet the overdraft.
