3L BURSAR ' S office puts the finishing and official okay on freshman Charlie Barnstone by presenting him with a neat, itemized account of how much his edu- cation for the next four and a half months is going to cost. Charlie is a little bewildered by the important-looking, sophisticated persons who lurk behind the little brass bars and who look like the animals that were in the circus that came through Oskwedunk three years ago. They just don ' t pace up and down quite so much, Charlie thinks. But now for the bill .... Library fee — $5.00. Gosh! I just want to use some of the books, Charlie exclaims, I don ' t want to buy ' em. Poor Charlie! He ain ' t seen nothin ' yet. Wait until he starts letting some of those books get overdue. Anyway, bet it ain ' t such a good liberry. Bet there ain ' t a Sears Roebuck c atalogue in the whole durn shebang! .... Down the list . . . Laboratory fee. Now, what ' s that? Oh, yeah. I remembers, Charlie says, laboratory. That ' s a place where y ' wash yore hands. Shucks, they even charge yuh for that around here!

w D d i c a The 1939 La Revue To the pappies, the poppas, the dads, the old mans, and, pos- sibly, the fathers, that untiring, unflinching, and generous group who have little to do in life except sit around and wait for the first or the fifteenth to roll around, this, the La Revue for the year 1939, is dedicated. To all the pappies we would extend congratulations for having survived another year with a kid in col- lege, for if it is true that a young man or young woman is changed by his or her years in college, it is equally true that a parent changes during those same years. Not only does he change his hard cash for a little white receipt rubber-stamped by the bursar ' s office, but he changes his opinion, his attitude, with regard to his kid. Our little Charlie has his pappy, Ebenezer Barnstone, but just Pappy to our Charlie. Pappy has spent many many days staring out at the horizon, wondering what his Charlie has been doing off at college. We hope that the days on the ' Southern campus haven ' t changed Charlie too much. Anyway, if they have, we ' re pretty sure there ' ll always be a Pappy who can jerk him down a notch or two.
