V agaries The art of conversation as is practiced over the coffee cup of every fraternity and sorority house these mornings of pre-examination strife. Meet the Diligent Student, the ©ross-Word Puzzler, and the Badio Pest over the breakfast table: Student—Ho-lium. I was up all last night. Puzzler—Same here. Didn’t get a wink of sleep. Pest—You birds have nothing on me. I didn’t even snatch a nap in the chair. Student—I was up with a case of law. I had it bad. (Guffaws). Pest—Law is tough, I’ll admit. But it was static that had me up all night. I couldn’t seem to get Mollala, Oregon, at all. Puzzler—Say you folks don’t know what trouble is! I didn’t get a wink of sleep trying to find the Nubian for napkin. Student—First I’d lav the book down. Puzzler—I see—horizontal. Student—Then I’d have to pick it up. Pest—Last nifjlit was a tough night to pick anything up, I’ll tell the world. Student—But it was no use. There was no way of coaxing it in to my brain. Puzzler—Why didn’t you scare it with a few cross words? Student—Finally I tried concen tration. Puzzler—That’s a good thirteen letter word for freshmen. Pest—Finally I gave up trying to get CHIN. Puzzler — Huzzah! That’s the word I’ve been hiking for. CHIX, a four letter won! meaning an Ore gon co-ed. Pest—How do you get CHIX— with an aerial? Puzzler—No, no. This is an hor izontal. Student-—Well, anyway, I finally got that ll'ing through my dome. Puzzfer — Yeah? Well, you’ll probably be a three letter debater next year. Pest—Yes sir, debating is a won derful pastime. I got the Oxford Oregon debate over my one-bulb set just as clear. House C. P. O.—Eight o ’clock classes! Snap out of it! Student—Ho-hum! But I’m tired from last night! It’s an awful grind, but I wouldn’t be without it. Puzzler — Yes, sir! That’s a great satisfaction to have a cross word puzzle in your lap every night. Pest—You said it! There’s noth ing like having a lusty radio in the house. * * * I and my room-mate were in love with the same woman so .we secret ly decided to kill each other. That uight, just as he crept up to my bedside and placed a razor against my throat while I slept I also crept up to him and lightly rested my dagger against his throat. Just as we both slashed at each other’s throats as we lay asleep, we both snored, our Adam’s apple descended! and we missed our strokes. “Kis met-as Fatte will it” we both said and went back to bed. NORTHWESTERN PROF PUNISHES STUDENTS NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY •—A professor at the Northwestern University has an original idea for the punishment of students who are late to class. There are not as many seats as there are members of the class; therefore those who are late do not get seats.
