OESIDES evening affairs, there was definite
interest last term in the afternoon rally
dances sponsored by Kwaiua and Skull and
Dagger. Usually 10-cent affairs with no
thought of making a profit, students would
certainly not object to raising the ante to Id
cents with the other nickel headed for Uncle
Sam’s budget.
There are some students who take the melo
dramatic attitude that we should forego
“tun with a war waging. Yet, the army
itself probably would laugh at this and label
it foolish if carried too far. Civilians are not
being asked to give up an evening of dancing
when it does not interfere with war work.
Opponents to the contribute-as-one plan

is built up and there is usually a quota set.

students untouched by contributing this way?
Girls, except at afternoon rally dances, sel

Contributing-as-one probably would not be
100 per cent fool-proof, but on the other hand,

Staff members of the Daily
Texan say that if England has to
wait until there are “bluebirds
over the white cliffs of Dover,”
for “love and laughter peace ever
after,” they may have a long time
coming—“just you wait and see.”
Because, according to Dallas
ornithologists, the bluebird is a
native of North America and as
far as is known has never seen
the white cliffs of Dover.
The composer of the popular
song by the same name undoubt
edly used considerable poetic li
cense, authorities believe.
The Texan says that according
to Nelson’s encyclopedia, the rob
in redbreast is the “nearest ap
proach” Britain has to the Amer
ican bluebird.
The scene is a library in a
USO club house at an army post.
Soldier: I’d like to check out a
book.
Librarian: We just received a
shipment from Iowa state col
lege. Anything special you want?
Soldier: Do you have “Berlin
>«Diary.”
Librarian: No, but we have
“The Decisive Hour in Christian
Missions.” I understand that’s
pretty good.
Soldier: Any pictures in it?
Librarian: No, but here’s one
with lots of pictures. “Brief Anal
ytic Geometry.” Look at those
drawings!
Soldier: Pretty, aren’t they;
but don’t you have “For Whom
the Bell Tolls?”
Librarian: You mustn’t read
stuff like that. Here—try “The
Boy Ranchers on the Trail.”
Soldier: I read it 15 years ago.
Librarian: Then read it again.
Don’t be so fussy.
Soldier: I sort of had my mind
set on something modern.
Librarian: Why don’t you read
“Fundamentals of Metaphysics?”
Soldier: Any conversation in
it?
Librarian: No, but the type is
easy to read. Look here.
Soldiers: What do those letters
mean?
Librarian: They’re formulas.
Soldier: I don’t like it.
Librarian: I’m going to pick
out a book and you’ll take it and
like it. Do you want me to call
the sergeant?
Soldier: No, no! I’ll read it. I’ll
read anything. Anything. Just
pick one out at random.
(The librarian hands him a
book. He rushes outside with it,
goes over to his quarters and sits
down on the edge of his bunk to
read. Then he looks at the title
of the book. It is “The Horrors
of Modern Warfare.”)—Barom

“Hello, who is this speaking?”
“Watt.”
“What?”
“Yes, Watt’s my name.”
“What?”
“My name’s John Watt.”
“John What?”
“Yes, you’re right; are you Mr.
Jones?”
“No, I’m Knott.”
“Listen, will you tell me your
name ?”
“I’m Knott.”
“Who are you?”
“Will Knott.”
“Why not?”
“No, not Why Knott, Will
Knott.”
And so on, ad infinitum.

Mickey Mitchell, DeeGee, still
dates in the Beta house, but now
it’s with Kent “Harpo” Jackson.
Dates and more dates: Janet
Straubel, Theta, and Lou Torge
son, Beta—Joan Maxwell, Pi Phi
and Bill Hopper, Phi Delt—Jim
Burness, Fiji, and his date wear
ing identical ski sweaters while
coke dating.
Scene at the Senior ball—Phyl
lis (or was it Louise) of the the
Theta’s Gordon twins dancing
with “Slim" Wintermute, Phi
Delt—Jean Baker, Alpha Phi,
with Cullen Murphy, Chi Psi, and,
of course, we could mention more
names, but so many people never
arrived.
And about those who didn’t
make the dance: law students
Walker Treece and Bill Bernard
thought they had better study
that night, but Saturday after
noon they thought of an even
better idea and so they stagged
it ’round town instead. And', of
course, some of the Betas boy
cotted it in favor of the Miami
Triad coming up next weekend.
Another couple seen together a
lot—Connie Walbridge, Alphi,
and “Tiger” Payne, Sigma Nu,
(of course, you remember him).
And now we know why Jack
Turpin’s mad—he dates Pat Car
boe, Chi O, for the Triad and she
proceeds to take a Delt pin from
Dave Hart just a week before the
big affair.
It’s- almost spring term now
and the ATO’s thoughts have
turned to thoughts of pin-hang
ing, newly initiated Walt Long
hangs his Maltese Cross on Carol
Johnson, DeeGee pledge. And
speaking of DGs and Tau bro
thers, Mona MacCauley can hard
ly wait until Ox Wilson gets his.
Can you guess why?
Down for week-enders—Jane
Doyle, Kappa, Jean Talbot, Dee
Gee, and Phyllis Dube, Pi Phi.
Very few of you will be able
to remember back in the good
old days when the word around
the Sigma Chi house was “hell,
how he hates himself Handsome
Harry Hanifan."
