Eulogy for Noventber
by Jim McGovern
remember when November meant
football games, Thanksgiving, and the
first chilling touches of approaching
winter. It was a favorite month in my
child hood - given over to long hikes and
warm wood-stoves. The fourth day was
my birthday and I always felt especially
lucky to be born so close to Christmas.
The good cheer on· both days was all the
better for its proximity.
But like so many of my childhood
favorites, November has seen its better
days. It is now a bitter month , dotted
with anniversaries I would rather not have
brought to mind.
Oh, the football games are still played,
but now I watch paycd gladiators
perform for money, not sport. I still give
thanks, but it seems ludicrous to count
blessings when cash registers ring thl:
totals . And 1 suppose November weather
changes little , but it seems somehow
colder every year.
I suppose there are those who would
say that it is not the month, but I, who
have changed. There is much truth to that
assertion, and I would not deny that my
view of life has sobered considerably
since childhood. But that view has
undoubtedly been significuntly
influenced by the tragedies of November.
And so we come around -to those
anniversaries. They come to mind all too
quickly - election days in '64, '68, and
now '72, the 22nd day in Dallas I 963, all
those days. And this November we have
another - the I 6th day. -
It happened as it has before - the
same old demonstration, the same old
murder , the same old lies when tt was
over. The shock will pass as it has before,
to be remembered only during next yeGir's
November.
But Leonard Brown and Denver Smith
arc dead, victims of the violence that
erupted at Southern Uniwrsity in
Louisiana - in a larger sense victims of
the society we live in. And so that is our
task now to continue tiH'
der · 'l str..1L.; ;, that killed tlhcsc two men
and change that society with the effort.
The hatred and bitterness that murder
breeds in the heart must he put aside and
all our energies turned to that task.
Granted, November will never he the
S<Jme - but then, neither will you and I.
And perhaps most importantly of all. this
society will some November day feel that
force.

Canaan Valley , West Virginia. This trip is
the first trip for the new year to be
sponsored by the Union for Student
Activities.
For this trip USA has acquired three
cabins in Canaan Valley. Eight to J 2
people can be situated in each cabin
comfortably. The cabins have four
bedrooms. a kitchen , and a living room
complete with fireplace.
Not far from the cabins are ski slopes
where one can enjoy the 'fun runs,' or, if
one happens to be an expert, the stt!ep
'fast' trails. For those who are beginners,
ski lessons will be held daily.

For USA's first trip of '73 student
reaction has been favorable. Most
students arc happy to se,e a trip within
their price range, but as one student puts
it,"the price is good, but II need that $67
right now."
Fortunately for those who can not go ,
USA has more trips planned for the
spring, just for you!
