Latest Excuse Given
For Absence of Story
Past masters in the art of mak
ing excuses are college students.
M it isn’t one excuse, it's another.
A sincere attempt to instruct stu
dents in the gentle ( ?) art of re
writing news events via the tele
phone have resulted in the most
outlandish problems and excuses in
the 9 o’clock elementary journal
ism class.
Half of the class was loaded
with information and the other
half of the class was assigned to
call them to take down notes and
rewrite the story. What would be
the best time to call ? It was vir
tually impossible to agree on a
^ime suitable to all the members
of the class.
“How about 8 o’clock?” the pro
fessor asked hopefully.
“Gotta study then,” the students
insisted.
“Well, then, 6 o’clock?”

“But we eat at 6,” several las
sies wailed.
The professor thought for a mo
ment, then suggested, “You aren't
supposed to be eating or studying
at 11.”
“Oh, but that’s when we sleep.’’
Finally, perspiring slightly, the
professor managed to persuade
them to call at 10:25. The next
morning he found a note in one
of his boxes. It was the epitome
of all excuses:
“At 10:25 I called.and the
line was busy. I keep call every
five minets until about 10:50 when
one of the fellows took the phone
until 11:05 or 11:10 when I called
.f. again and this timed they
answered and said she had gone to
bed and they would not call her."
What next?

Seniors Must File
Credentials for Jobs
All seniors, whether or not they
are looking for immediate jobs,
should have their credentials filed
soon at the employment bureau,
Karl W. Onthank, dean of person
nel, has announced. Forms must be
sent to former instructors and em
ployers to give the student refer
ences which are the basis of con
fidential reports to prospective em
ployers.

portance of filing credentials while
the student is in school, as later on

With a complete record on file, the
graduate may write the University
for necessary and valuable refer
ences.
References of students who plan
to teach are handled through a
placement bureau at the school of
education.
