When there is an inquiry as to your whereabouts in this column it generally means that some classmate has written in asking about you, so please respond to these inquiries. This months "where oh wheres" include Joe Livingston, Phil Mc Innis, and Dick Stowell.

And that about covers the news for the month. Some of it is probably incorrectlots of it is old. But darned if it gets any reaction from you guys. Get mad if the wrong dope appears about you. Write whether you like this column or whether it "stinks for your dough" (quote Scherman). The only rise so far was from R. M. Prentice, General Foods export advertising junior exec, who deplored what he termed "new deal propaganda" in last month's report. He feels that using the class column to kid any political party is akin to using the mails to defraud. Any sort of reaction is appreciated. Prompt reaction to the alumni fund by many of you is doubly appreciated. Can't give you any one hundred per cent—what Sub Harris would call "perennial sophomore stuff" but think that we ought to show a little more class activity and interest—in other words we ought to get off the dime.
