DIARY — OF A — College Girl april 3 well, here it is the end of the second week os this here now spring term i’ve been hearing so much about and what have i done about it. nothing, no studying, no strolling aimlessly about in gay spring clothes, no love even, it just doesn't live up to advance publicity is all i have to say. people all year have been saying just wait till spring term and will you have fun. but shucks it's just like any other term except there’s more rain. what a disappointment. i came back with a lot of flimsy - or is it filmy spring clothes and i haven't been able to wear them even except on easier. and all i did then was go to church. but maybe things will improve, maybe the sun will shine, maybe i'll fall in love, who knows. other people do. april 4 i surprised myself today by going up and polishing off a bit of studying, the first this term, too. people tell me that it's easy to make good grades spring term, but all i have to say is who says so. it’s practically impossible to make myself study even when it rains. what it will be like when the sun shineH i shudder to think. april 6 well, things are LET’S GO STROLLING.. into Scobert’s now Stylo Shop Hud see their splen did new collect ion of omn pus clothes.

Has Other Interests Besides these varied activities, Virginia is intensely interested in many others. She loves music, and plays the violin, though she admits ruefully, she hasn’t had much time to play in the last few busy years. She likes sports of all kinds — swimming, golf, skiing, and is an enthusiastic mountain-climber. Tre mendous vitality and dynamo-like energy permit Virginia to carry a heavy scholastic and activity schedule and still find time to do the things she enjoys outside of school. Virginia “Endy” to her asso ciates in the Shack believes the most important thing for a girl’s enjoyment of her college life is finding an activity that interests her. However, she wains most em phatically against useless ones that waste time and energy, and bring no returns. Activity .Should Be Useful “An activity that will have some bearing on a girl's life after she leaves school is the best and most useful for her, and one from which seh will get the greatest benefit," Virginia remarked. Virginia’s plans for her life after she graduates this year are re solved simply into one ambition Asked what she wished to do, she replied, with the infectious smile that is as much a part of her eyes as her mouth “I want to be a newspaper woman.” Reporting of any kind is the field that appeals to her the most. “L’ve been told that a newspa per’s no place for a woman until I’m tired of it,” she said firmly. "It’s what I want to do and I Wool in Two Shades —. . - ■ ———— —-— I A waist-length jacket of biscuit-colored woolen in suede-like finish contrasts in color and texture with its navy Id uefrock of wool crepe.

People We’ee Seen Tine Campus Bairrijjmore By MARTHA STEWART He was one of deep artistic tem J perament. . . .an actor to be exact. He had been in all the college pro 1 ductions of Broadway hits, and t he had done nobly, if he did say so hifnself. He'd played all the j parts that are coveted by the ac.t | ors of the world from buffoon to ' tragic figure, from juvenile lead to aged King Lear. He’d run the gamut of emotions from A to B. i He'd played Hamlet in the bard's immortal play. Campus wits pro phesied that one day he'd be offer ing to be “Mourning" in “Mourn ing Becomes Electra.” Like all great men his success came from a small beginning. He made his debut in a more or less famous gang picture, playing the part of one of the innocent by standers shot down by machine gun fire. He was the third one from the left. The one with the hole in the sole of his right shoe. The applause was tremendous. Now as a senior his desire to become famous as an actor was fulfilled. The campus was at his feet. People pointed to him with pride just as they did to the new library or to the university peren nial who had been an undergradu ate for eleven years. “See that man." they'd say, and I his manly chest would swell with pride. "He is the college Barry more" And then they'd list his theatrical triumphs. He enjoyed it so much that he 1 sort of fell into the habit of j prompting people just a little if they failed to make some comment ' on his achievements when he! thought they should. Of course he was very subtle! about it That is, he was at first.; "Oh, 1 say.” he'd remark casu-' ally when conversation lagged a | bit "Did you see The Little Green God?" If the answer was "yes" his ! ; next question would come eagerly, j g'lHiitimii'itunumiunitiiiimDiHirattiti irnmnsusmittimituiiwMifcini! ■'Tell me,” he’d beg "did you like it ?” The answer here was us ually a rather noncommital "yes." "Wha,t,” he would ask then with a strange tenseness, "What did you think of my performance?” It j made him feel swell when they j invariably told him how good he | was. “Colossal,” they would bab- j ble, "Superb," “Sublime,” “Trem endous," they’d insist. It required such a little prod ding to make people tell him he was wonderful that he took to reminding them more and more often. "Oh by the way,” he’d say, "didn't you like "Paris in the Spring"? Well, you know every body says that I . . . .” or, in the midst of a heated discussion on how the other team happened to get that last point in last night's 1 game he would burst in with, | “Which reminds me. What did, vou think of "Blue Interlude." I at her fancied the part I played. .” It baffled him a bit the way nore and more people began to ell him that they hadn't seen he plays he mentioned.

And yet next day when he'd ask them if they’d seen the show they shook' their heads emphatically and hur ried away. “They’re missing something big and fine,” he thought seriously to j himself. “How sad." And so when I people told him that they hadn’t1 seen his sterling performance in his latest show he’d grab them firmly by the buttonhole and say: "Why that’s too bad. I play the part of the lover scorned. In the first act I.” “You must have been wonder ful,” they’d murmur helplessly. "Collossal,” they’d insist almost pleadingly. “Stupendous” they’d repeat. It made him feel all warm and glowing deep inside. People adored him. He was the campus equival ent of a matinee idol. Definitely he was an actor. And then one day as he was carrying his handsome profile down the street he ran onto a classmate, and he hailed him heartily. "Hello there. You're just the man I want to see. Did you see Destination' ?” “Yeah.” his companion admit ted.. "I saw it.” “Well,” he insisted, “I want you to give me your honest opinion.

"Just tell me what you really thought of the play.” “It was lousy,” his classmate said emphatically. The actor's eyes popped out, and he gasped in startled surprise. “What,” he asked unbelievingly, “did you think of my perform ance?” "It wras lousy.” His classmate said for the second time. He gasp ed again. “W-what did you say?” he stammered weakly. “I said that it was lousy,” his companion repeated. "Lousy," he murmured. “Yes, 1 that's what I thought you said. Lousy." CO-EDS!
