1951

'Tis Green Key time again. And who's your date this year? For most of us these days, any outing on that once frolicsome weekend would now entail a substantial investment in babysitters. And beer baseball might turn out to be a little strenuous anyway.

This month there's a nice letter from Wes Blake, who's continuing his studies of glaciers and the Arctic at the University of Stockholm for two years, before returning to Ohio State. As you read this, Wes will be leaving that city of beauteous women for a summer of field work on the islands of Spitzbergen on the 80th parallel. And this may not be an altogether desirable departure, as Mr. Blake observes that the building housing his Stockholm office lies in a park where a good percentage of the Stockholm young ladies sunbathe in the spring - "in various stages of undress!" All of which leads our Arctic explorer to observe that Stockholm might be the answer to Al Karcher's bachelorhood.

Wes adds that he's been able to take good advantage of this two-year tour under a grant from the National Academy of Sciences and the National Research Council. Besides study in Sweden and field work in the islands, he's managed to visit France, England, Denmark, Norway and Finland.

So much for the news from the '51 outpost in Stockholm. From elsewhere around the circuit- we hear that: Fred Lord is busy whipping up support for the Red Cross drive he heads in Great Barrington, Mass. Jim Culberson, Bill Bridge, Hugh Macßrien and Russ Dilks are among those lucky enough to find time and an excuse to visit Hanover recently.

Well, that's it for this month. If you think the notes column is brief, you're right, for your communications were few and far be- tween. How long since YOU dropped a note to this column?
