WE AREN'T OSTRICHES The ostrich is a lucky soul. He is never embarrassed by the foolish things he does. He just puts his head in the sand. Human beings, however, have no such com- forting refuge from life's little indignities. We have to stand there, blushing, fumbling for recovery, and vainly hoping the flood will open up and swallow us. We always find ourselves wishing we had a paper bag to put over our heads. But we aren't ostriches. And very few of us can carry around paper bags for such emergencies. So we must resort to our wits. The principle is not unlike the one the ostrich uses—act as if you don't think you've done anything foolish, and almost any incident can be passed off with a minimum of embarrassment. If you sing out on a favorite hymn before the rest of the congregation does, just look around as if you wondered who did it. If you run up to someone on the street, grab their arm, and then realize you don't know them, don't let on. Engaged in a snappy conversation and then escape before they can recover from the shock. Unless your slip has hurt someone's feelings, there's no point in being agonized about yourself. A few faux pas make life on campus, in the dorms, and in the SUB more vibrant and interesting. The next time you sprawl on the dance floor at one of the mixers or drop a stack of magazines in the library, don't forget that innocent faux pas are the things a sense of humor is made of. Yellowjackets Bow to Carroll, 7-0, Meet School of Nines Tomorrow Eastern's football Yellowjackets, with a 1-1 Montana Collegiate Conference record after last week's 7-0 defeat by the Carroll College Saints, play their third conference game tomorrow against Montana School of Mines at 2 p.m. on Bjorgum Field. According to EMCE Coach Ken Karr the Yellowjacets will be playing an improved Mines team. Mines opened its season against Northern Montana College last wee and lost the game in the closing minutes, 12-7. Eastern's defeat by Carroll at Helena night came just before the first half ended when Saints full- back Ray Raineri scored from the one-yard line, and Carroll con- verted. EMCE Offers TV Course for Credit Eastern Montana College of Education is now one of 250 col- leges and universities offering credit in chemistry through the Continental Classroom according to George Gloege, professor of chemistry. Continental Classroom is a television production that appears on KGHL-TV through the NBC network. The time of the program is 11:30 a.m. - noon Mond ay through Friday. The course meets in room 204 of the Science Build- ing. An additional television set pre- senting the broadcast will be in the Student Union for those who are interested in viewing the pro- gram without credit, Gloege said. The course mainly pertains to high school science teachers, but anyone who has an interest in sci- ence and wants the credit is wel- come to participate. All those interested in the course should see Gloege before Oct. 20, the deadline for registering for the class. The class began on Oct. 5, but registration will con- tinue until the deadline. The class will consist primarily of the basic principles of chem- istry and a study of the latest science developments. A textbook and a study guide are necessary for the course and can be pur- chased at the bookstore. Four credits may be obtained from the course the first semester and five the second semester. Eastern came close to scoring in the first quarter when halfback John Novasio ran for 50 yards to the Saints 15, but the ball was lost on a fumble. Carroll got down to the EMCE 10-yard line in the second half and also tried a field goal, but could not score. A Yellowjacket touchdown in the second half was nullified by a 15-yard holding penalty. \We'd like to thank those 15 or 20 rooters who followed the team to Carroll,\ Coach Karr said. \We came through the game with a minimum of bumps and bruises, mainly because we were outplayed in every phase of the game. The boys are working out harder in practice this week to insure against our fans having to witness another poor performance such as last week's.\ Eastern Carroll First downs 10 9 Rushing yardage 210 181 Passing yardage 20 28 Passes attempted 10 4 Passes completed ..... 3 2 Passes intercepted ____ 0 Punts 4 Punting average ..... 38 30 Fumbles lost _ _ - • 0 Yards penalized 15 50 Six Faculty Members On Leaves of Absence Six members of Eastern's facul- ty are currently on leave of ab- 3ence from the campus, according to Dr. H.
