From
All Sides
By MILDRED WILSON
A special “tap day’’ edition of
the Pitt News which appeared re
cently was composed entirely of
news concerning students tapped
by various honoraries—and the
appointment of positions on the
campus publications and in ac
tivities.
Containing eight pages of tap
day sidelights, including the
names and brief sketches of all
tappees, the issue was the first
of its kind ever attempted at
Pitt.
Also included in the paper was
the announcement of the senior
queen and her main attendant.
Some of the honoraries which
tapped students were Mortar
Board, ODK (senior men), Cwens,
Druids, Xylons, and Spoons.

Ode to a Coking Date
A long tall glass half-filled with
ice,
A beautiful girl, this will suffice,
To fill a morning hour with cheer,
And still those vulgar thoughts
of beer.
Political deals, the latest gossip
All occur while people slop-up,
Cherry, lime and lemon cokes, *
And catch up on the latest jokes.
—The Silver and Gold.

A coed at the University of
Minnesota was sitting at a table
in the post office one day writing
a letter to her boy friend. So ab
sorbed was she that she didn’t
notice it when her so-called
friends left.
A little later a boy came up
and asked her where he could get
a date.
“How should I know?” she
asked a bit sharply.
“I saw your sign and thought
you’d know if anybody would,”
was his hurt reply.
She looked down and saw a
little card, neatly printed in lip
stick which read: ALL-U DATE
BUREAU.

Library Features
Model Ship Exhibit
Centers of attention among
foreign trade week exhibits now
in the library are three ship mod
els recently presented to the
University Propeller club, branch
of the national organization.
The Rio Hudson, the President
Coolidge, and the Fast Esso, a
tanker, are modelled at a 32 feet
to 1 inch scale, complete with
life boats and deck swimming
pools.
Other elements of the show
window are boat models pictured
in Fortune magazine, six mari
time journals, books and foreign
etrade week pamphlets, stamps,
and posters.
The week is sponsored by the
United States chamber of com
merce. In 1933 President Franklin
D. Roosevelt recognized May 22
as the anniversary of the date in
1819 when the first vessel put off
from the United States shores on
its maiden voyage. Oregon fes
tivities for the week started with
the dedication in Portland of a
plaque commemorating the an
niversary of the launching of the
first ship in Oregon, Star of Ore
gon.

After All!
Joe wrote to Marie and told
her he wouldn’t see her for a few
months, he’d be busy. After all,
if she loved him she would want
him to get ahead.
Well, Marie had good inten
tions, but she got bored so easily.
She began going with another
fellow. Nothing serious, you
know', just a nice boy who kept
her from getting morbid.
Two wreeks ago I got a letter
from Joe. He told me he would
be coming through town Tues
day, that’s yesterday, on one of
those little blitz-buggies, bound
south for maneuvers. He asked
me to keep Marie company,
standing on the Anchorage ve
randah waiting for him. He had
made arrangements with his
driver to turn off for a few min
utes so he could see her.
I wrote back I’d be glad to, al
though it meant cutting a few
classes.
But it turned out I didn’t have
to cut the classes. None of the
buggies turned off at the Anchor
age. Marie was having a coke
there wuth the other fellow. She’s
engaged to him.
