When Hickey (James Barton) ar- rives, the whiskey (at five cents a shot) flows like water and everyone forgets his troubles. For most of the first act all the roomers, and they are a sorry lot of characters, relive past celebrations with Hickey. They retell the story he always relates o£ the iceman who came to steal his wife. Mickey's on the Wagon When Hickey arrives at long last, he seems outwardly the same to the inmates of Harry Hope's. As the first drink is offered him, however, he refuses it with a bit of sermon- izing to let them know he has seen the light and has killed off his il- lusions to find "peace" within him- self. Incredulous, the human dregs in Harry's bar hang on the every word of their metamorphosed benefactor to see if they can somehow pry be- neath the curtain of his soul to the truth. Instead, he digs into their inmost thoughts and one, by one, makes them examine the secret longing that has been keeping them alive from day to day. Since all have f when you smoke few waking hours when they are not immersed in the spell of alcohol, they grope blindly about for some exit from reality.

Let's all relax and get an education before we start sounding off. Tom Cody To the Editor of The RAM: It was with profound sympathy for the "reserve lieutenant" that I read his hysterical outburst in last week's Letters to the Editor. Who but the most callous among us can fail to ap- preciate the intolerableness of the situation in which .this holder of so "exalted" a position finds himself? While natural modesty reasoned against his so stating in his letter, we can visualize our colleague in days gone by as wearing his mantle of au- thority with dignity and grace: gold bars shining like the sun, a carefully mutilated hat to denote fifty missions to the Officers' Club, a simple ribbon to indicate service in the American Theater of Inactivity, a Sharp- shooter's Medal to attest to profici- ency with the Parker 51. It is perfectly natural, then, that the sensibilities of such a man are offended in being forced to rub shoul- ders with the likes of a former Pfc. with nothing to his credit but six overseas stripes, a Combat Infantry- man's Badge and-a brace of Purple Hearts. I consequently hasten to endorse the lieutenant's proposal that a sep- arate section be instituted for former officers. I further recommend that a sign stating: "For Officers Only" be affixed over the door of the desig- nated classroom, to preclude the pos- sibility of any "untouchable" stum- bling in, albeit unawares of its sacrosanct nature. Finally, I helpfully suggest that the lieutenant carry a riding crop, with which to clear a path for himself amidst the "unwashed" as he goes about his campus routine. A "liberated" GI To the Editor of The RAM: It was gratifying to see "Wind- shield Sticker's" solution to the parking problem. I would like to know if that is the only occupation he has on our thoroughfares. It seems to me that he is supposed to enforce all traffic rules, whether it says "NO PARKING ON THIS SIDE OF STREET" or "SPEED LIMIT—15 MILES PER HOUR." Since I do my parking in my room, I have no difficulty with the bad boys who park on the wrong side WILLIAM . of the street. What strikes me, how- ever (and I mean strike almost lit- BENDIX erally) is that the speed limit is not APPEARING IN observed. Some day, I expect to run PARAMOUNT'S out from the barracks smack into one of those speed demons. I do "TWO YEARS hope their brakes are in good work- BEFORE THE ing condition. After all, I'd hate to be dragged to the gym when my first MAST" class is in Keating, or vice-versa. Besides, class starts at nine, and I hate to be late. As a solution, I have the following suggestions: 1) Let the "Windshield Sticker" slow down traffic, 2) Try to save lives instead of parking space, 3) Encourage the sale of Life Insurance.
