olzjfdelzfiaffy HO SAID there's nothing new under the sun? It was probably some Greek fhilosopherg he couldn't know that something diiferent would come along in No- vember, 1939. He was born a little more than thirty years too soon. Too bad! He had no idea of whatifhe was going to miss. tlf he had, he might for once have had a difficult time philosophizing over not getting it.j Yes, though Philo may have had something we haven't got-laurel wreaths and Persian about Classical Music, or to beat time to the Swing Stuff that's so vigorously poured forth a few pages hence? Was that ancient and hon- orable Greek able to take a trip to South America? tDid he even know such a place existed?j Could he get inside dope on our football team, or a photograph of it for of any- thing elsel? Could Mr. Philo G. find out about How to Write a Textbook, or jump onto Central's Merry-go-Round? Could he read and enjoy a whole bevy of shoft stories? QConld he read?j ' Philo probably would have jumped into the handiest sea if he had known he wouldn't be able to partake of this feast. And what would he have done if he had been aware that this was only the first course? Out of the past comes a sorrowful moan. CMaybe he's one of 'em in Chance of a Ghost Time.j Disillusioned Philo has deserted his philosophy. 2 But we don't have to desert anything except our worries. Let's forget everything else now and just enjoy ourselves. wk 4: af an VVe all believe in living a full life-in extracting the utmost enjoyment and the utmost profit from every minute of every day of every year, Are we doing it?

Info it we have en- deavored to inject a new vitality-to give you something that will make your life more full. The following item was printed in THE REVIEW to what is to come. Actually it might better be called Preview. It is a preview of the new, 1940 REVIEW. With it the ball has been set rolling. As it gathers momentum, moving faster and faster, it will grow, like a snowball moving down a hillg it will grow bigger and better. It will speed through the obstructions of boredom and care, and bring to you extra dividends in entertain- ment and value. That is its objective. Somebody-perhaps that same Greek philoso- pher-said you can't please everybody. VVe're going to try. in 4- 4- fs W'e'd like to meet you. VVe'd like to take you behind the scenes and show you what makes the wheels of a magazine go round. The question is. 'how to do it? The first choice would be for you to come up to 311-A and meet first-hand the mysterious per- sons who have their nomiua scattered like autumn leaves through these pages. But in case climbing up three Hiqhts of stairs seems a little too much for you, Weill make it easier and come to you via the printer's ink. Let's get together for another chat the twenty-fourth of january. Is it a date? 4 Confidentially yours, The Editors JANUARY BRINGS YOU' JOBS COLLEGE J ITTERBUGS SYM PHONIES BOOKS SPORT S SUCCESS and Stories, Poems, Features. Watch for the V JANUARY REVIEW
