Ai t students will unleash their
Suppressed desires for the fabulous
Beaux Arts ball this Saturday by
wearing- costumes ranging from
nighties to night mares. “You too
can be a dope-fiend' for an evening”
is a liberal interpretation of the
general theme.
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.
A prize for the best costume will
be awarded at the dance, and doors
will open at 8:30 p.m. to art stu
dents and their friends.

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

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.
