Philosophers and Fools Johnson Hall Blackboards Antidote toStudent Boredom By Boh Ford It's almost impossible to get bored with the writing boards in 103 Johnson. You don’t understand? You would, if you were in P. 8. Dull's Far Fast in Modern Times class, or E. R. Bingham's U. S. History class. You still don't understand? Well, it seems that during lecture per iods. a student's fancy turns to thoughts of most anything, and these thoughts are recorded for posterity on the writing boards which are scattered around the room. One student, desiring to get away from history class or the University in general, scrawled on one writing board, "Flight Mars Leaving 12:15 p.m." Let's hope he didn't miss the rocket ship out. Varied Activities You needn't contact the Lonely Hearts Club, if you have a habit of walking alone. One student ad vises you to contact Kitty at 5-4321, while another individual has dis closed that Elsie's phone number is 5-4001. Whether this is Elsie, the Cow, soliciting for Borden's Milk, or a campus coed, is left up to the party lonely enough to call to find out. One student, haggard from last night's study session, was contem plating the darker aspects of life when he wrote, "Death, where is thy sweet sting?” Another scholar, looking on the brighter side of life, j wrote in large, dark letter, "This j is the age of fun, frivolity, wine, j women, song, beer, and boys." Who said It wasn't? j “W'as the second book about I giants?”, a puzzled English stu dent wrote on his writing board. Receiving no reply, he wrote with j a defiant pen, "Don’t take Survey of English Literature!” Another student wrote, "Boy, this is one hot class!” Whether he was refer ring to the warmth of the class room, or the caliber of the course was not explained. •Timely Tips’ "Flunk Early, Avoid the Rush’1 was much in the mind of students as they wrote this advice on one board after another. Most of them probably passed, and celebrated by partaking of some of the bev erages mentioned by a connoisseur of intoxicating drinks. Aside from the Four Roses mentioned, the best sounding drinks are Old Schmoe —827% proof, and Old Panther Blood -110 proof. Deferments For ROTC Basics Nearly Finished Deferments enabling freshman and sophomore Reserve Officer Training Corps students to con tinue In the advanced phase of th< program are nearly completed, ac cording to Lt. Col. J. H. Cunning ham, military department head. Basic students in the Air Force program have already been noti fied of their acceptance for ad vanced ROTC. The Army, which has completed its deferments of sophomores, will finish granting deferments to freshmen by the end of April. Deferments arc being made on the basis of cumulative grade point averages, military grades, a special psychological test, medical records, and general information supplied by the director of men's affairs. Maybe the Old Schmoe wbh too much for the artist who drew a picture of a flying eight ball, com plete with top hat and wings. The drawing drew this comment from one critic, "Looks like It flew too low!" Current Problem, Too The answer to the current ques tion, "Who Is the ugliest man on campus?", could probably be found on one of the writing boards. One attempt at sketching, a hick-type presentation of a student with a cucumber nose and a concave chin, would be a close contender for top honors. Another portrait, of the city slicker type, with sharp fea tures and "double-whammy" eyes, might also make the grade. One pictorial presentation of a college student plunging headlong toward a speeding truck has the Impressive title, "Will Sylvester Crash? Wait until spring term to ' find out!" It’s spring term. How about a reply? i It isn't all this sort of thing, . though. One student had the in telligence to write some very in formative information on the Tal I uiadge Amendment, Stephen Long, I and the Sputh Carolina Kxposl tion. He further wrote, "Place all ‘pony’ material here!” But as one bored student advis ed, "Enough of this, to the swim ; mlng hole!" Petrol Agent Due Today A General Petroleum representa tive.
