THE FEBRUARY BLAHS First came the Swing, Next was the Twist, followed by Le Freak. And then, in the winter of '79 — the Gambier Shuffleslip. It's best learned outdoors but can be simulated inside. Take some rope and tie your arms to your chest; then tie your ankles together and attach a longer rope to the piece between your ankles. Now have a friend yank on the long rope. The feeling of helplessness you'll experience as you dutifully obey the laws of gravity is very similar to that had by many people as they slipped along the campus paths during the winter months. Actually, Gambier experienced its third unusual winter in three years — unusual because it was delightfully normal. None of the prolonged bitter cold of 78 or the dehydration of 77. The season merely inspired the typical boredom and insanity known as the February Blahs. In an authoritative and far-reaching poll (actually extending as far as the people who were hanging around a certain writer's wing as the deadline for this copy drew near), we sought reactions to February at Kenyon. It was a drag, said one student; too much homework. Another complained of claustropho- bia. And a final respondant, questioned as he ran down the hall with an armful of library books and a pocket stuffed with notecards, would only say that which does not destroy me will make me a better man, over and over. But the month did have its diversions and bright spots, and one of the brightest of these was the Kenyon Musical Revue. A company of singers dancers comedians header! by director Debbie Walters deliverer! a parody of life on the hill that was pure entertainment, spawning an original cast album and winning its creators a Bookshop Award. Another excellent, if more sobering, way to spent! an evening was Lillian Heilman's The Little foxes, featuring a Newman Award-winning performance by Scott Klavan as Ben Hubbard. Other antidotes to February included nights at the Shoppes or the VI, winter sports, pool, pinball, good movies, good pizza, gootl conversations. And, when winter abruptly broke two weeks before spring break, most of us were amazed at how sanely we had survived.
