The Beaux Art cabaret will fea ture Herb Widmer’s leprechaun’s and spirits from the supernatural and a floor show of costumed guests for one dollar. The event revitalized from its prewar years, will take place in the girl’s outside gym back of Gerlinger. Suspended Torsos Featured Sur-realistic decorations are des tined to surpass even the imagina tion of Salvador Dali, and a fish net canopy With suspended torsos will add to the incredible ideas emanating from the art school. Art students have been following strings for days in an attempt to gain admission to the affair. Sales are rising rapidly as boys and girls, eager to ease their frustration, find the ticket office after much con fusion over the maze of twine.

Corrective P.E. Class Rough; Women Assert Basics Pikers Coed Taunts Sissy Contemporaries . . . By Shirley Peters There’s going to be a revolution around here if some changes aren’t made. Girls with large “Unfair” signs will begin picketing the Em erald office any day now unless a little light of publicity is allowed to fall where it has long been de nied—on the corrective and re strictive classes. If it weren’t for lack of ability to put the situation concisely on a placard, the picket line would have started long ere now. The situation isn’t so much of a case of the Emerald being unfair to the Corrective class, but more that they are over-fair to the Basic classes. Every term, the Emerald oblig ingly runs a little opus written by some energetic freshman under going the rigors of the Basic class, but never a word is printed about the long-suffering Corrective lass ies. Wrong Guess The other day a huge disturb ance occurred at the library, and, when the news trickled down via grapevine that someone had tried to strangle a green female freshie, students of the Corrective arts merely smiled knowingly at each other and whispered that someone must have slighted the greatest gymnastic class of them all, and went back to the work at hand, memorizing the international Swe dish Gymnastic Shorthand. Basic classes complain about do ing a few curl-ups for an hour a SPECIALIZING IN FINE CHINA AND CRYSTAL •c 963 WiLLAUltlTE ST _ HELP CUPID WITH OUR “ONE OF A KIND GIFTS” ANTIQUES AND MODERN couple of times a day. Little do they know that we weak, incapa citated little darlings do ten or twenty of the darn things every class period. Added to that, we do such simple little numbers as trunk raising, arm circling, rib spreading, and half a dozen other creations which absolutely defy de scriptive names. It’s Easy The first mentioned exercise is one of the simplest. In this, one lies face-down (ly pr.) with the toes hooked under some heavy ob ject, and hands clasped on the back of one’s neck. Then, with elbows leading, one raises the chest six or eight inches, keeping the lower part of the body flat on the ground. Any football player who can do this ten times without faltering is an unusual man, and corrective students do it that often at every class meeting. No Sissies Dispelling the rumor that those in Corrective classes are pale lit tle violets, a recent test on top high school athletes of the state proved highly interesting. When given several of the corrective ex ercises to try the athletes failed miserably. Corrective classes do the exercises without a murmur. Basic classes have it easy. When they want to shirk exercise, they either hide themselves behind some large member of the class, or pre tend to lose count. But under the individual-program system of the corrective students, each must do all the exercises on her program under the direct gaze of the in structor, who has managed, in her thirty-some years of teaching gym nastics, to develop an eagle eye which can spot a shirker through a closed! door. Rough Lassies The corrective students are mad clear through. We’ve been painted as a bunch of highly handicapped people whose only exercise is what we get being pushed to and from classes in our wheel chairs. On the contrary, we have better muscle development than most of the judo team. Slight heart-murmurs can’t keep a good woman down, and even football players sometimes have trick knees. We’d like to see any other class match us for good looks (the writer excepted). What other PE class can claim two Dream Girl candidates in the same class, as well as many other girls who should be candidates? And this isn't a brag, it’s a challenge. One last final word from the long-suffering Correctives. When you complain about basic, remem ber that not only is Corrective twice as intensive but one term of basic is usually all. Remember, some of us have been in Basic-plus for five terms. How’s that foi bloodied but unbowed heads? Modest Law Lads Boast Novel King , By Don Turner Promising the acme in originali ty, the winter social season of the law school student body will of ficially commence Saturday night at the Osburn hotel, under the slogan “Law School Clicks in ’46.'' High on the agenda of scheduled attractions will be the announce ment of the King of Hearts. (Though a similar contest has been copied by several undergraduate sororities—that contest will have no bearing on the outcome of this, the original contest, because the law has never extended any of ficial recognition to the latter). The contest has narrowed to a rather small field as the crucial day of judgment approaches. Still holding a slight lead is Catherrine Crombie, second year student, whose slogan is “If you want a zombie, vote for Crombie.” She is sponsored by a radical group pro testing sex discrimination in demo cratic education. Ceded to second position, and breathing on Miss Crombie’s heels, is Daniel Mahoney, first year stu dent, whose slogan is. (The Emer ald regrets that Mr. Mahoney’s slogan is not printable). Still in the running, but defi nitely in third spot, is Don (Tiger) Walker, whose highly original, timely, and cogent slogan reads “It isn’t the coffee that keeps you awake, it’s the bunk.” Another event scheduled is the sponsoring of secret entertain ment during the intermission by" Ray Coulter, third year student. Center Urges Vets to File Aid Requests Allied Service Counts For Training Benefits Veterans attending school who may be eligible for education or training but who have not made application through the veterans' administration for such benefits, are urged to contact the guidance center, Room 110, P.
