Trying Times
These are the times'that try men’s souls, and their air con­
ditioning units—the “dog days”.
, Gone are pleasant days of early summer and in their place
are about 40 days of hot, sticky summer misery that will last
through. It was the Greeks who gave us this synonym
for summer as derived from the dog star, Sirius, which rises
■with .the sun during this period.
Serious (ouch) is the mood of men in these times—acutely
aware of the Berlin crisis, and the pending threat of war. Wor­
ried skyward glances of ASU students „can be seen as mighty
jet's pass over campus.
tyhat does the average stude|t think of the situation and
what is he doing about it? On Ae whole most ASU students
are in agreement with Kennedy’s Speech and are glad that the
U. S. is taking a firm stand. There is .much speculation con­
cerning ^elective service status of students, threat of nuclear
war and world reactions to U. S. policy.
Civil defense measures are being taken as families build
and stock bomb shelters.. Although there is no sign of panic,
many are grimly forming plans'in case of attack.
Other-attitudes voiced by students include “I’m going to
live it up while I still can” .... “Shoes will be scarce1 so I’m
buying mine now” . . . “If something like freedom, means enough
to a person, he’ll sacrifice just about everything for it.”
Then there’s always the ostrich who sticks his head in his
swimming pool and keeps cool. Hope his swimming pool doesn’t
spring a leak’ . . . . C.O.
