EAST SIDI We read of the thoughts of 0. 0. Mclntire While Strolling Down Broadway. We know the thoughts of the people (two ' s a couple, three ' s a crowd) sauntering down the Old Ox Road. Bui Wesleyan has no old Ox Road and no Broadway, so as we stumble down the cinder path, we wonder, as we wander, who are the charter members of the ' itzi-bitzi ' club? Dam(e) Rumor tells SO many interesting things, that we can ' t help but listen. Want to listen with me? Remember when she said that Chuck (mass-of-muscle) Smith was seen playing basketball in a basket-ball suit instead of the usual sweat-suit. There seems to be something about Dorothy Campbell that reminds me of Grade Allen- maybe it ' s her silent reserve attitude — or i.- she reserved? And if so. by whom? Last year Ireland was iu-t a green spot on the other side of the big pond. This year it ' s a Beta Phi pledge i the one with the fur coat |. 1 - Roy Giles (thanks to the Army store) is no longer compelled to wear the white duck tucked into the riding boots. Oh. yes, -Fred Anderson is think- ing of peroxiding his hair— Bel it will look jusl t o. too duckey. 1 i inord Paulson thinks nothing of singing at four in the morning we don ' t think much of it either. What ' s all this about Reed and Dot and opera practice, and well— you know. Attenshion, please! May we pre- sent the Champeen Pie Haters— step right up. Stales . and you. Witzy. What ' 11 you have, cherry, or carmel? Mattie, how does it feel to be an important playwright ? Embarrassing moments: Barker, at one of the State frats, was intro- duced to a boy. Oh, you ' re from Nebraska Wesleyan? Well. 1 know several kids you do — Claud: ' Otto and Bee Brown. Hetty agreed, and he continued. Oh, and say — I ' ll bet you know Stanley. After visible effort she had to admit that she didn ' t know anyone of that surname. Oh, you don ' t- Well, that ' s me! Now, what would you have done! ' French ' s in a bad way. Even send- ing bouquets to Campbell! Sterling Amiot ' s been doing some research on the .Man Ac! since vaca- tion. Say, wouldn ' t Ptac ' s little baby doll look cute dressed in a bathing suit? 1 hear its been named Iffy Iff isn ' t a boy. she- a girl. Have you heard about the tumbling acts staged by Kaimmer and Baker lately:- ' When they fall, they fall hard. I gin - ' It ' s been noised about that Chet and Ikie have beei seeing each other home, (let them to tell you about the man in the moon sometime. Or better still, get the man in the moon to talk. I hear that Ernie Sevier is quite active in Y. W. work at .least if an afternoon of carrying fern-; in the rain is any testimony. Might we in- quire further? ' J hear ' bout the Crescent President being in that awful wreck the night of their party ? We did too. Guess DeGarmo went social in a big way during vacation, if we can judge by report.

THE BIG TEN (Continued from page 11) derstanding of the foreign situation. But the remainder of the colleges leave the question blank. While Egyptian students, demanding their independence, refuse to leave their town squares, even when buckshot is fired into their groups ; when Italian students agree to give up heat in their schoolrooms to save oil for the onquest and turn in gold rings to maintain the gold reserve ; when, in fact, in all European nations, history, ?conomics, and international relations ire discussed arduously and at much ength, seven of America ' s outstand- ing Methodist universities are not ven doing enough to fill in one small blank of a questionnaire. Alike, yet unalike, we find Ameri- a ' s ten outstanding Methodist uni- versities. Some of the replies were surprising ; some to be expected. But through the pulse of the Christian :olleges we can trace the trends of today ' s youth. And in spite of the riteness of that oft thundered philo- sophy, the world rests on youth ' s shoulders, ' ' we can see that the small oart played by individual boys and iris in college grows to immense Droportions when multiplied by the hundreds of thousands of collegians ?nrolled in Christian colleges and jniversities. Tudor Arch at Oak Street Entrance, Chattanooga University, Chattanooga, Tennessee. Many are the unsung heroes and heroines on this lowly campus. We have the man who goes without his tie, so that a roommate may sufficiently impress a first date . Or the girl who gives up her last pair of undarned hose to a pal who just ran into a snag. Then there ' s the student who says, I CANNOT break my date with Chaucer to go to a mere party. Ah, yes. Look about you — heroes at heart, but to an outsider just more colle- gians! What ' s more, YOU may be a hero without knowing it. Remember the time you held the baby for the next-door neighbor, or sweetly invited the gang over to help finish the five-pound box of candy — after you had eaten about half of it. And there ' s that never-to-be-forgotten night that your roommate brought in com- pany, and you so willingly slept on the floor. Now, haven ' t you been a hero? Let us help you discover your true self! T».« Librir-f tfva

WEST SIDE By Edson Hubbard There are dates and then there are just women — but anyhow maestro Herrold seems to have found his sparring pardner . sighs Casey Diers. foot loose and fancy free (and with his free fancy unquestionably settled an one plug pusher for Mr. Bell Inc.) These professional women have their points. Xow take Ptacek. for example. He ' s contented and harmless to all appearances. I ' ll take a date with Taylor, too. any time you ask me. Bill. Oh. well! Xow speaking of marriages. I think Vie and Winnie would look nice in a ru tic sort of louse. I ' d advise a wire-haired terrier to go along with it too. Vic. But Sevier presents another problem. n ' I ' m proud of him cause we agree perfectly on account of because its ots more fun to go with someone e ' se ' s girl than to find one of your own. Still, there ' s always a chance for a mess-up like Bittinger finds herself in when she turns down one date and the honored male fails to make his appearance. Oh. Death! Where is thy sting? Personally. I like a girl like Mitchell — she loves all the boys and she admits it. Guess her pal Sturm is more on the marrying type, though. I like Freshmen — girls. Wish Smith would hurry up n ' take Ayres out of circulation for good. Sigh. sigh : the Crescent Freshmen remem- bering the most thorough ducking afforded Brother Kronen when he eventually decided between the Gam and the Willard clubs. Xow. me — if I were of the wooing type — would embark on a trip of conquest for one Dawson Hawkins. I ' d even like to have his picture on my radio. And that takes us down to Squire Dixon, who frankly admits there ' s only on? reason why he doesn ' t try to hang a pin, and that ' s because he doesn ' t have one. But just wait jntil he makes those required twelve ( ?) hours and then watch Hiram dig out the shekels. By putting two cor- ners and two corners together, we have four corners — and four corners spell heaven to Anderson and Porter. And then says Kaimmer. after a date with the debate squad ' s pride and joy, Ignorance is Bliss. They tell me the secret ambition of Cotton and Stoltz is to have posterity enough to produce Hamlet without having to double up on parts. Xow Bearcat Wright fervently hopes he has so many bear kittens that if one of ' em asks him for a penny it will cost him four bits to pay out. I don ' t mind saying Miss Miller is my ideal — she plainly states she ' ll stick to her dog. Houdini. ' X ' me. I ' ll stick to my horse. On the other hand. I al- ways start fixing my neck-tie when I see this girl Tremain ! Would that I had swallowed pituitary pills when I was a youth, or else just naturally stopped expanding a foot sooner. This Devie Craven used her summer to the best advantage, I ' d say. She at least made sure of a date to the Phi Tau pledge party. Wonder when the Delts are going to embark on another en- gaging spree? Ahrendts seems to be plenty much in circulation. I ' d still rather see Dean Reed in a good or- chestra than in Pop Bennett ' s quar- tette. I contend that he ' d make more personal contacts for Wesleyan. I ' d hoped against hope that the Theta IPs Barbara Morey would ask me to their party, but instead I sat at home and plaved solitaire and heard mar- velous tales of one romantic Robbins. If that girl used her head, she ' d be taking fiftern hours in the chemistrv department next semester. They tell me the Crescents had a heck of a time breaking this Mart Brasch from dating during the week. Young Stewart took one likely freshman out of circulation in a hurrv. didn ' t he? Saw LoRee Bowers and Doc Conlee courting in the Stuart show house ' tother night. Bear Tracks Axford was there, too, but his damsel came wrapped uo in one of them clinker hats, so her identity at present is un- known. Had an awfully good looking Dair of shoes on, though. I ' ve noticed H. Menke and our girl Bliss together a coupla times. There ' s something 19 about a football player. They tell me Morton had a big time ' tother night. Guess that Larson came call- ing. Clare Shuman seems to be carry- ing on the social whirl for that family. These twins are doing right well by their betrotheds. I got it straight that Vivian Cutshall thinks Blondy Butler carries the best stock of stories she ever heard Here ' s one on Wilson. Did you see that news article headed Wil- lard Wilso n Gets 10 Years in Pen ? Picture ' n ' everything complete — ask any Tau. Really, Evie Y. doesn ' t mind work- ing for the annual at all. Don ' t you think she ' s a good Advertising Man- ager ? One of the most spectacular plays seen in the basketball inter-murals so far this season occurred in the Tau- Bleu Thonge game, when Mac made a perfect basket — in the wrong goal ! Palmer and Bitty certainly love stage work. Guess loyalty to dear ol ' Theta Alpha Phi is worth while, after all! Xews of the day! Charlie Harold and Bliss Jr. were seen dashing to their early class at two minutes to eight. Charlie was grumbling ' cause his alarm went off early. Have you noticed what a swell couple Al and this Jacobey make? Mildred Ellis certainly looks strik- ing in that flame red outfit. And speaking of clothes, would you ever suspect that Lil Gib makes her own? T hadn ' t gotten the idea that she was a home girl ! After seeing Minick carry on with Pop Bennett, I ' m quite convinced that the gal ' s been hiding her talents. Merselis and the cop are great pals. If you ever need a pull — . Edythe Mae and Casey seem to have a case — or be a case, we don ' t know which. (Continued on page 50)
