Richard Wegner. Benton Coun ! ty assessor, said Oregon Stale , College fraternities, sororities and cooperative houses have been appraised and notices sent out that taxes are to be i in [wised In Lane County, site of the Univer sity of Oregon, Assessor VV. W. Smith said steps have been started there to collect the tax. The tax bill is being back-dated five years in Benton County.

PATRONIZE YOUR • ADVERTISERS • ' . >0* Campus (Author of •'Barefoot B"y YVUH Cheek," etc.) LITTLE STORIES WITH BIG MORALS First Little Story Once upon a time when the inventors of the airplane were very small boys, the roof on their house developed a terrible leak. A repairman was called to fix it. He set his ladder again.-t the side of the house, but it was a very tall house and his ladder was not quite long enough to reach the roof. “Sir, we have an idea,” said the boys who even at that tender age were resourceful little chaps. “We will get up on top of the ladder and boost you up on thj roof.” So the boys climbed to the top of the ladder, and the repairman carne after them, and they tried to b<v>;t him up on the roof. But, alas, the plan did not work and they all came tumbling down in a heap. MORAL: Two Wright» don't make a rung. Second Little Story Once upon a time a German exchange student came from Old Heidelberg to an American university. One night there was a bull session going on in the room next to his. “Ach, excuse me,” he said timidly to the group of young men assembled there, “aber what is that heavenly smell I smell?” “Why, that is the fragrant aroma of our Philip Morris cigarettes,” said one of the men. “Himmel, such natural tobacco goodness!” “It comes in regular size in the handy Snap-Open pack, or in long size in the new crushproof box.... Won’t vou try one?” “Dankeschon,” said the German exchange student happily, and from that night forward, whenever the men lit up Philip Morris Cigarettes, he never failed to be present. MORAL: Where there’s smoke, there’s Meyer, Third Little Story Once upon a time Penelope, the wife of Ulysses, had herself a mess of trouble in Ithaca. With her husband away at the Trojan War, all the local blades were wooing Penelope like crazy. She stalled them by saying she wouldn't make her choice until she finished weaving a rug. Each night when her suitors had gone home, Penel . ope, that sly minx, would unravel all the weaving she had done during the dav. ^ "Wf don't lou kide/i?t$i5 UrS?'' Well sir, one night she left her rug lying outside. It rained buckets, and the rug got all matted and shrunken, and Penelope couldn’t unwind it. When the suitors came back in the morning, the poor frantic woman started running all over the house looking for a place to hide. Well sir, it happened that £appho, the poetess, had come over the night before to write an ode about Penel ope’s Grecian urn. So she said, “Hey, Penelope, why don’t you hide in this urn? I think it’s big enough if you’ll kind of squinch down.” So Penelope hopped in the urn, and it concealed her perfectly except for her hair-do which was worn upswept in the Greek manner. Well sir, with the suitors pounding on the door, Sap pho had to move fast. She whipped out a razor and cut off Penelope’s hair. The suitors looked high and low but they couldn’t find Penelope. MORAL: A Penny shaved is a Penny urned. * ©Max Shulman, 1956 Are you still with us?
