Who Isn't Interested?
Campus living organizations have been visited during the
past two weeks by wandering minstrels from the ASUO
senate. Our elected representatives have been addressing us
on the subject of ASUO activities.
The speeches are part of a senate education program, planned
and promoted by ASUO President Hob Summers and by
Jerry Beall, campus public relations chairman. The idea is
a sound one. Its execution, unfortunately, has failed to live
up to its potentialities.
Announcement of the speech assignments, made by Sum
mers at a recent senate meeting, came as a surprise to most
senate members despite the fact he had told them earlier
in the term of his plan to make the senate known to students.
Immediate reaction among senators ranged from indiffer
ence to indignation. They were being asked to do more than
they had bargained for in seeking their places on the legis
lative body.
It takes a great deal of ingenuity and leadership to sit up
on the third floor of the Student Union one evening a week
and play campus wheel. It takes a lot of thought and study to
spend three hours discussing a subject and then consign it
to committee oblivion. But go out and meet your constituents?
Discuss your activities with the electorate? Why, it’s un
heard of.
Some of the speakers displayed this attitude in giving their
speeches. Practically no attempt was made on the part of the
speakers to present interesting talks. Some have demonstrat
ed so little concern for the program that they have yet to
fulfill speaking engagements which were supposed to have
been completed before the Thanksgiving holiday.
Preparation for the speeches was inadequate, in our opinion.
Senators should not have to be briefed on ASUO activities
(as they were) ; they could be told how to make an interesting
talk of the material they were to use (and they apparently
weren’t told).
Topic for discussion by the senators was limited to what
the senate does. Too little stress was placed on how the
ASUO affects student life at the University and how stu
dents can participate in the ASUO.
The education program, off to a rather slow start, will be
followed through next term with questionnaires sent to the
living organizations visited this term by senate members.
The senate should not be too disappointed if it finds the re
sults of the questionnaires disappointing.
We would like to see this education program continued.
There is a great need for expanded student interest in the
ASUO senate and its functions. All we ask is that the senators
show a little more interest themselves the next time they
ask for time to be heard.

DECEMBER AND MAY: ACT I
Of all the creatures that inhabit the earth, none is so fair, so warm,
so toothsome, as a coed.
This is a simple fact, well-known to every campus male, and, to
most campus males, a source of rejoicing. But not to all. To some,
the creamy brows and twinkling limbs of coeds are a banc and a
burden. To whom? To professors, that's whom.
Professors, according to latest scientitic advice, are human. Stick
them and they bleed, pinch them and they hurt, ring n dinner bell
and they salivate, comfront them with a round young coed ami
their ears go back, even as yours and mine.
But, by and large, they contain themselves. After all, they are
men of high principle and decorum, and besides, the board of regents
has got stoolies all over. So, by and large, they contain themselves.
But not always. Every now and then a coed will come along who
is just too gorgeous to resist, and a professor — his clutch worn out
from yenrs of struggle - will slip and fall. White though his hair,
multitudinous though his degrees. Phi Beta Kappa though his key,
he is as lovesick, moonstruck, and impaled as any freshman.
But he’s far worse off than any freshman. After all, a freshman
can thump his leg, put on his linen duster, and take out after the
coed with mad abandon. But what can the poor smitten prof do?
How, in his position, can he go courting a young girl undergraduate?
In this column and the next one, ! am going to deal with this
difficult question. I will relate to you, in the form of a two act play,
an account of a professor's attempt to woo a coed.
The scene is a typical office in a typical liberal arts building on
a typical campus. In this shabby setting, we find two men. Professors
Twonkey and Phipps. They are lumpy and bent, in the manner of
English lit professors.
Phipps: Twonkey, a terrible thing has happened to me. A terrible,
ghastly thing! I’ve fallen in love with a coed.
Twonkey: Now, now, that’s not so terrible.
Phipps: Oh, but it is. Miss McFetridge—for that is her name—is
a student, a girl of nineteen. How would her parents feel if they
knew I was gawking at her and refusing my food and writing her
name on frosty windowpanes with my fingernail?
Twonkey: Come now, Phipps, no need to carry on so. You're not
the first teacher to cast warm eyes at a coed, you know.
Phipps: You mean it’s happened to you too?
Twonkey: But of course. Many times.
Phipps: What did you do about it?
Twonkey: Looked at their knees. It never fails, Phipps. No matter
now pretty a girl is, her knees are bound to be knobby and bony and
the least romantic of objects.
Phipps: Not Miss McFetridge’s-for that is her name. They are
sort and round and dimpled. Also pink.
Twonkey: Really? Well, I’ll tell you something, Phipps. If I
ever found a girl with pink knees, I’d marry her.
Phipps: It is my fondest wish, but how can I, a professor of fifty,
start a courtship with a girl of 19? J
Twonkey: Very simple. Ask her to come to your office for a
conference late tomorrow afternoon. When she arrives, be urbane, be
charming. Ask her to sit down. Give her u cigarette.
Phipps: A Philip Morris.
Twonkey: But of course.
Phipps: I just wanted to be sure you mentioned the name. They’re
paying for this column.
Twonkey: Give her a Philip Morris.
Phipps: That’s right.
