Olson said Mr. Bulgerin, 39, has been named assistant director for production and the Rev. Eugene J. Leschensky, 44, Menomonie, Wis., has been named assistant director for special services. Both will have headquarters in Minneapolis.

FROOD’S THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: III College, it isn’t ivho you know that counts—it’s whom. Dear Dr. Frood: 1 just can’t seem to get in step with the rest of the students here. They enjoy parties, dancing, folk singing and dating. None of these things interest me at all. Am I behind the times or what? Left Out DEAR LEFT: You’re in the right times; you’re just one of our squares. Dear Dr. Frood: 1 have a confession. All my life I have been trying to learn how to whistle. I just can’t. Please, will you tell me how to whistle? Puckered DEAR PUCKERED: Watch the birds. Notice how they gather a pocket of air deep within the breast, then push thin jets of this air into the throat, through the larynx, up and around the curled tongue, and then bounce the air from the roof of the mouth out through the teeth (which act like the keyboard on a piano). Practice this. In no time your friends will be amazed at the beau tiful, warbly trills that flow from your beak. Dear Dr. Frood: What do you think ac counts for the fact that college stu dents smoke more Luckies than any other regular? Marketing Student DEAR MS: Collegiate Lucky smokers. Dear Dr. Frood: Hamlet killed Polo- nius. Macbeth stabbed Duncan. Richard murdered his little neph ews. Othello strangled Desdemona, and Titus served Tamora her two sons in a pie before killing her. Don’t you think this obsession with vio lence would make an excellent sub ject fora term paper? English Mafor DEAR ENGLISH: No, I don’t, and my advice to you is to stop running around with that crowd. Dear Dr. Frood: My coach is writing this letter for me because I am illiterate. We want to know if I got to learn how to read to get into college. I am the best football player in the state. X DEAR X: Every college today will insist that you meet certain basic entrance requirements. I’m afraid you’re just out of luck, X, unless you learn how to read diagrams and count to eleven. ARE YOU READY FOR THE FLOOD? Most students today live a carefree, devil-may-care existence—buying their Luckies day to day. Only a handful have had the good sense to set aside an emergency cache of three or four Lucky cartons, wrapped in oilskin. When the dam breaks—they’ll be ready. Will you? CHANGE TO LUCKIES and get some taste for a change! Product of tJ^meMecvn — cjo&izeo- is our middle name ©4. T.Col DON'T BUY AND LOSE-RENT AT LOU’S
