At Sunday night wrestling shows my grand father just laughed. And now I know why. Wrestling may have been a real sport once, and still may be in high schools or other quiet places. Men discovering the weapons of muscle and mind, the blunt dark talk of skin on skin. Professional wrestling today is baudy. It is choreographed to give the audience grimace, sweat .and acrobatics without pain or trouble. The wrestlers are well trained to keep their bodies looking solid, their holds glib, and their throws polite. Even managers must learn this jock ballet because they are slapsticked Into the ring. The real danger and Olympic challenge lies in the audience, the loudest of which are women. They may or may not believe the match is a hulking battle, but they will rage, purse-bludgeon any timid males, throw odd things odd places anyway. They are the people who keep wrestling alive. If you are In need of a wild evening go to the Township Auditorium Tuesday night. Rip Hawk and Swede Hanson, two old wrestling dowagers, will be entertaining a rematch w.Ith the Brisco Brothers. You may hear what Columbia's mid citizens have on their mind. You may not be able to hear a thing, after.

"We're looking to the future when education will continue but not in classes." The Living and Learning program, in which students with similar interests live and attend classes in the same building, will be initiated next year. Any group of students with a special area of interest may arrange to live together. This year experiments have been made with the program. For instance, English classes have been held in the Tower's residence halls. The teachers' assistants have offices in the Towers Government offices, where the classes are held. Also, the reception for Edward English was. held in a women's residence hail. Students remained for hours after the reading to talk to the black poet. Next semester crafts programs and other special in terest programs will be started in T NIGHT M til Closing STE AK NER RINGVt ABBOTT [VE allet' I learning ! he dorms the residence halls. Since the program would be arranged with certain interest groups living together, questionnaires have been sent to women's residence halls to determine what interests the students have. Also, letters sent to faculty members to see if they would be interested in working with the program and living in the The Living and Learning program is now being used suc cessfully at Michigan State University and Cornell University. Michigan State converted a residence hall into a fine arts center, with rooms as theaters, music rooms, etc. Students in terested in the arts lived in the residence halls, as did some of the professors. This helped the students to have a better relationship with their professor. While whole colleges and offices are situated in one residence haH at Michigan State, at Cornell students with similar interests live on one floor. For example, one floor will be made up entirely of French students who will speak only French on that hall. Speakers, movies and other programs concerning their area of interest are frequently featured. Red Cross Bloodmobile here Nov. 1 The Red Cross Bloodmobile will visit the campus November 1, 2, and 3.
