The Backseat Driver By MARTHA STEWART After the breathing spell of the last two weeks I come back to the typewriter with a brace of ax es to grind. Axe no. 1 is in my own defense. I wish it to be clear ly understood that during the va cation I was idle. Not once did I touch my lily white hands to type writer keys (instruments of the devil that they are). Not once did I urge my work-weary mind to contemplate the skullduggery that is the daily bread of us column ists (our readers tell us). Not once did I corrupt my pure, inno cent thoughts with doubtful gos sip. Not once, I swear. But what happens. Hardly had I blossomed forth upon the cam pus registration day before I was surrounded' by irate individuals. “You should be ashamed,” they shouted. “What’s the big idea of writing stories that make people mad at us? Don’t you know you got us into no end of trouble with your tales?” “Trouble?” I protested. “I’m innocent. I didn’t do anything.” “You . . . you . . . Jezebel,” they screamed at me, "you unscrupu lous trouble maker, what’s the big idea?” And, “He doesn’t either like that blonde better than he does me. He told me so himself.” And, “I wasn’t out at Three Trees on Friday night. It was Saturday. And so, gentle readers, let me here and now disclaim all credit for that ingenious little sheet which came out during spring va cation in lieu of the Emerald . . . namely "Goose Flashes.” I didn’t write a sentence of it. Not one single word', not one little bitty let ter. I never even heard of it until people started waving it in my face. Please, gentle readers, you do believe the . . . don’t you? - sk ± »h The second axe is hot for me. I am grinding it for those two long suffering individuals who hashed rip publicity some months ago for the Shan Kar Hindu ballet. Ace salesman Zollie Volchok who could sell you a ticket to your own bur ial, and his temporary cameraman Bill Pease. It seems the two were falsely accused at the time of the ballet troupe’s arrival of having used an unloaded camera to create atmos phere at the scene of the greeting. Rumor had it that the welcoming ROBERT H. LEMON Public Accountant Income and Social Security Tax Counsel Phone 1G80 220 Miner Bldg. Installation Banquets Held for Y Cabinets A formal installation banquet for the new YWCA and YMCA cabinets was held at McCrady’s Tuesday evening at 5:30. John Casteel of the University speech department acted as mas ter of ceremonies. Dean J. R. Jewell, guest speaker for the oc casion, spoke on “Religion and its Relation to the Student." Harold Strawn, retiring presi dent of the YMCA, presented his gavel to the incoming president, Bob Bailey. Entertainment consisted of sev eral numbers by the Delta Tau Delta quartet and piano music by Glenn Griffith. Guests other than the old and new cabinet members were Mrs. J. R. Jewell and Dean Virgil D. Earl. committee flashed their winning smiles into a lens that had noth ing back of it, and that the official look on Pease’s face was nothing but a pose. And now after lo these many months the wronged pair fell into the Emerald office this afternoon bent on vindicating themselves. “The camera was too loaded,” they insisted, “and if you still don’t believe us come over to Volchok’s office and we’ll prove it.” So to those who still doubt the honor of these two honest gentle men an invitation is extended to drop in any time and see there on the wall three different poses of members of the Shan Kar greeters being just too chummy for words with the Hindu artists. I never used to hold much truck with the Hollywood conception of college life. I always was inclined to pooh-pooh the way the movie Joe Colleges kicked up their heels and did the big apple up and down the streets between classes. Most of all I questioned the cinematic version of collegiate slang. Up to now most of the people I have known have been inclined to punc tuate their remarks with the run of-the-mill expressions that one might hear in almost any crowd. The wild Joe Penner—Jack Oak ie’s supposedly typically colleg iate colloquial quips were simply Hollywoodian flights of fancy, I figured, and just weren’t ever heard in campus crowds. But last night a voice out of the dark convinced me that Holly wood is right and I am wrong. No more do I scoff and shout, "It ain’t college.” Last night as I was wending my weary way home I passed two girls chatting merrily. One sen tence rang out above the rest to silence me once and for all. “Well, pick me for a daffodil, Gertie,” a feminine voice squeaked, "You could ’a pulled the wool over my eyes.” The Secret to a Successful Coiffure • GOOD TASTE • BECOMINGNESS • SUITABILITY You will find all three in any wave given you at the ; < Kramer Beauty Salon 1256 Kincaid Phone 1 880 'Paris in Spring' To Be Motif I For Gamma Alpha Chi's Dance Opening the spring formal sea j son this term, Gamma Alpha Chi, , women’s advertising honorary, will hold its annual dance in the ' Igloo this Saturday night to the music of Maurie Binford’s orches tra. , Choosing the theme, “Paris in Spring,” McArthur court will be transformed into a style pavilion with campus director, Sam Fort, in charge.
