By MARTHA STEWART,
A friend of mine, had well-nigh
worked himself ihto a fit of apo
plexy the other day over an in
nocent looking sheet of newsprint
he held in his hand when I ap
proached and asked jhim to explain
the cause of his white heat.
“Why?” he exploded, “Why
must every would-be journalist
think he’s a potential ‘Time’ writ
er? This triple name-calling stuff
they do is getting out of hand.”
He shoved before me the offensive
page pointing to a column in the
middle.
“Look at that,” he snorted.
“Grey-thatched gentleman, indeed!
Couldn’t they just say, ‘Mr. Smith
had grey hair’.”
I could see some reason for his
wrath. Three times on that page
Mr. Smith had been referred to as
“grey-thatched, stern-visaged Mr.
Smith.” Twice his companion,
Eldorodo Theme Will
Add Color to Carnival
In Igloo Saturday Nite
“Jump on the Eldorado merry-go-round!”
This is the call that will be heard by all the lads and lassies on(
the campus this Saturday. And the merry-go-round being brought
here by the AWS carnival committee is the real thing. To the tunes
of the “groan box” will gallop fifty beautiful steeds.
Inside the Igloo will be heard the calls of the barkers and the
music of Carl Rooen’s orchestra. At 10:30 the noise will quiet down
while the attraction featuring the twenty belles of Eldorado City takes
place.

had been over-zealous in his ef

Wishes for Sunshine Saturdays
WHY MUST:

days and Wednesday when we have classes that we’ve already cut
the limit and then crawl in behind a mask of clouds to sulk on
Saturdays and Sundays when we’ve time to do a bit of basking.
people go right on telling us stories we have heard a dozen times,
even after we have uttered an emphatic “Yes!” to their question, “Have
you heard this one?”

give them the appearance of over
blown inner-tubes, while the skin-,

make them look like geometric
mistakes.

beautiful day it is outside. And
we don’t have a thing to do but
enjoy it.”

I Libe Terrace
Popular Place
Spring Nights
By MARGE FINNEGAN
“In the spring a young man’s
fancy lightly turns to what the
girls have been thinking about
ail winter.” Sure it’s old, but
not any older than the one, “In
the spring a young man’s fancy,
in the fall he’s plain.” Anyway,
it’s a hit or miss at the idea.
Warm weather always
seems to bring things out.
Lately we’ve noticed' it’s bring
ing out gay, care-free young
couples to sit in the sun on the
library terrace. It’s a grand
place to study, so they tell us?
Those fortunate twosomes who
aren’t studying or even at
tempting it, are seen walking
about the campus. Usually
strolling toward the millrace,
which is beginning to look fair
ly nice again after its long hard
winter.
Evenings are getting warm
er, too, and people are leaving
the library earlier—two by two
—to enjoy the delightful night
air and to stop at the Side for
a coke. New romances are bud
ding every day, and old ones are
being renewed. We could men
tion lots of names, but hush
money ran pretty high today,
so we’ll remain silent.
Canoeing seems to be a fit
ting pastime for the happy
youngsters. Hmm! Guess it. is
sort of romantic to glide down
the race with a nice warm sun
shining down on you—even if
it does give your nose its first
sunburn of the season.
