i "Pay no attention to him,". Carol
' - advised, "and tell us more about
' yourself. That is, if you don't
mind the audience."
" "Not at all. I was bom in Ar

" "What's your major?" Dan asked
i(.,jeurtly, entering the conversation
- ior the first time.
' She glanced back. "Why, none,
eally.' Just fiddling around with
a general arts course, learning how
to kill time."
"Not surprised at all," he re
Tnarked, but was surprised at him
self in turn for having the nerve
.1. to say as much.
;LI "Oh you aren't?" Her tone was
ley. "And with what do you con-
cem yourself besides football?"
a "Ceramic engineering," he an-
awered curtly. .
zi "How attaint" she murmured.
Keith laughed. "Sure I tell
xe bim he's wasting hi time, but he
xeeps narpmg on the fact that he
doesn't want to sell bonds or teach
s; phys ed when he graduates. Bui
you'll like him when you get to
know him better. Great guy, Web
Is . . . lived with him for three
years and I know."
m Joan turned rearward again.
,js Hear that, Mister Webber? You're
'g getting a plug. I'm being told I'll
u like you when I get to know you

r "Ifs doubtful," he returned
... Hourly, and both girls laughed.

y TPWO more blocks and they drove
- r- up before the Alpha Nu house.
" ; There were a half dozen girls on
the terrace and as she walked up
i, the flagstone path Joan felt, rather
than noticed, their frank looks of
5- appraisal.
f "You sure had us guessing," Kay
- branger saia during the course
Of introductions, "but then, you
couldn't blame us, popping in at
the last minute."
Joan smiled in agreement and
turned to hear Chesbro chatter:
"Pay your fees yet? ThereH be
a goshawful lineup at the regis
trar's office tomorrow if you
havent."
' "I refuse to be worried," Joan
Ti replied lightly as they entered the
house.
They went on a tour of Inspec
tion and showed Joan the room
Ihe was to occupy with Marianne
Burrowes and Chesbro. Marianne
was a junior from Cincinnati with
small, almost doll-like features
and dusty blond hair.
"Tfnna vmi 4nn't .1 i
a room," Marianne laughed, "but
r.-lt won't be so bad because I take
V;; upjhardlyany paceat all."
They wehtdownstalrsand found
Keith and Dan ready to leave.
"Web's afraid we'll be late to
fractlce and wanted to dash off.
Insisted on staying to say good
by for the time being, that is."
"I wasn't just rushing otl," Dan
'blurted. "Keith knows darn well
'we're due down at the stadium by
jao, latest Only have four days
-"before the first game."
1 "You abide by all the rules,
a don't you?" Joan observed.
' "His only bad habit," Keith cut
In. "Okay, Web let's go before
a you work yourself up into a frenzy
f and kill some poor third-string
5 end."
? "Well, there goes the varsity,"
said Carol when they had gone.
"You said something then."
Elaine Chesbro added. "Especially
5 Keith. Gee remember that Pur
J due game last year when he scored
5 two touchdowns in the last five
minutes? They Just couldn't grab
, him. And Webber leading the
way."
pAEOL led Joan over to the
glider. "There isn't a gfrl on
the campus who wouldn't go wild
over Keith Rhodes if he gave her
half a chance," she explained.
"He's the glamor boy if ever there
was one. But he just isn't the kind
that can be pinned down. And
the best have worked on him."
There was a slight gleam In
Joan's eye. "That so?" she purred.
"Maybe people around here don't
have what it takes."
her voice and smiled. "It's an open
field, darling."
"May I be so bold as to ask If
you're one of those who has
tried?"
Carol laughed heartily at that
"Lord, no. Keith and I come from
the same town up-state . . . went
through high school together. I
probably know him better than
tnyone on campus.
"Really," she went on to ex
olaln. "Keith is a swell kid. But

tie's never heard of clipped wings."
It was then that an express
truck rolled up. "Luggage for Miss
loan Johnson," the driver an
nounced, coming up the walk.
"That's me," Joan called, stand
ing up. She hailed a red-headed
pkdg. "Helene, show them where
my room is, will you please?"
The girls on the terrace stared
wide-eyed as the driver and his
helper started to bring up the
luggage.
First a steamer trunk, then a
smaller hand trunk, four full-sized
suitcases, and numerous hat boxes.
"Would you look at that stuff,"
Chesbro whispered to a pledge.
"If that isn't a traveling depart
ment store it sure ought to be."
