Wednesday, November 18, 1959 A Tip of the Slongue By Joanne Kisiel There goes a “sporen forts” car! “What’s, that?” you say to yourself. Well, “that” is a spoon erism. This practice of creating spoonerisms is commonly attrib uted to William Spooner of Ox ford. If you listen carefully, you can hear people creating them dally. . A commentator at a movie premiere was heard to say, “Sev eral women are quite dressed up, with a few in gownless evening straps!” One well-k no w n comedian tossed this one, “You will know the Quing and Keen have ar rived when you hear a twenty one sun gallute.” Royalty was the object of another slip when the couple was introduced as the “Duck and Doochess.” If you were listening closely to If You Ask My Opinion ... Due to the popularity of knitting among the male students at Behrend, I decided to ask a few students their opinion of this latest Gail Anderson: Let me be the first to put in my order for a sweater. Linda Bemis: If they can knit well, I suppose it’s all right. Jeanne Upperman: It’s cute, but contradicts the well-known statement that college boys act much more mature than high school boys! Ron Folak: It give me relaxation and escape from the modem mechanized world of today. Maryanne Feduniak: I like it, but I’m glad Jim doesn’t knit. Gerry Lewis: I’U tell you if I get my size 13 booties made. Mrs. Burnett: The cutest thing that ever happened around here. Nina Mazeako: purses, boys? Irene Kelly: Awkward, but defi nitely cute! Ike Sosnowski: I can think of more pleasant things to do. Karol Orzepowski: It brings out the motherly instinct in them. Jo-Anne Kisiel: It’s not my idea of the typical male pastime! Phil King: Don’t bug me till I finish this row. Barb George: And I thought the boys at home were weird. Kelly Rutkowski: 'Sh! Knit one, purl two. Mr. Burns: It’s healthful and not too strenuous for most of your television during a recent football game, you heard, “And here comes the Girl’s Bum and Droogle Corps.” One neighbor reading a story to children described the place where dead Indians go as “The happy grunting hound.” A lawyer created confusion by throwing this to the jury: “We intend to prove this case of premurditated meeder.” While watching a soap opera, a woman exclaimed, “The thick plottens.” At almost the same time, the actress on the screen, describing the weather, said, “The fog is thick see poos, no, I mean soo peep.” These are just a few of the spoonerisms floating around. They are not to be neglected. Who knows, if a backing is re ceived from the Student Council, a club might be formed! JoAnn Meech: Well, it just de pends on what they’re knit- Phyllis Taylor: I have no opin ion! Question: “What do you like most about Behrend Campus?” Andy Zawosky, Ambridge, fresh man: “The homework . . . Really I do, I get so much of it.” Beverly Britt, Teaneck, N. J„ freshman: “The friendliness of all the kids here and the informal atmosphere in which we all live.” Patty Hall, Franklin,' freshman: “I like it because it is small and you can get to know everyone.” Bonnie McArthur, Conneaut ville, Pennsylvania, freshman: “It is just like home up here, being out in the country. I come from a farm and I feel at home.” Ray Angelo, Erie, sophomore: “Oh, gee, I don’t know. The girls I guess.” Where’s your Anne Taylor, Erie, freshman: “The profs are nice and the kids are really friendly.” Linda Bemis, North East, fresh man: “I like the campus grounds best of all.” Katy Cragun, Arlington, Vir ginia, freshman: “The people . . . The people are wonderful.” THE NITTANY CUB 'By Phyllis Rosenblatt QUESTION: By Ginny Gandelman ★ Beh rend Terra Firma ★ By Nobru Say, did -everyone hear about the terrific treat the dorm girls are getting? The Memorial Room is open every Sunday and the girls are able to enjoy a relaxing day complete with Johnny Math is and a roaring fire in the fire place. I even know of a few fel lows that have sneaked in to en joy this treatment! From my comer I also heard that Jo-Arm M. rated weekends at Syracuse and Villa Nova. Did you enjoy yourself, Jo-Ann? Has anyone tried asking M. F. or J. A. about their newly ac quired rings? Good luck, girls... Famous last wordis in the lounge: “Is the jukebox working, today?” Why is it that so many of the botany students have such dark circles under their eyes?

Wonder if Sam Brown or Chuck Kulbacki know anything about it? Speak ing of Chuck, it seems that he isn’t a man of few words! While attending - the Student Council Convention, Bob John son' acquired a new nickname. It seems that a certain policeman on the turnpike didn’t believe Bob was old enough to drive. What about it, “Baby Pace” Johnson? Ron Polak finally found the two left-footed so and so that made the footprints on his sweat- Bev managed very well with her crutch, but I can’t understand why she refused to go square dancing. There seems to be a great deal Record Hop Held The first record hop of the season, sponsored by Mr. Hover’s advisees, was held in Erie Hall Friday. Diane Baldwin was the co-ordinator of the affair; Linda Williams, publicity chairman; Sue Anderson and Sandy Kain, decoration co-chairmen; and Larry Dunst was in charge of the music. The theme of the dance was conveyed by decorations of paper records and notes. Two lively disc jockies, Roger “Smurd” Carrier and Jim Kuhl, kept the chatter and platters going. On November 24, a'second hop, under the direction of Mr. Good win, will be held in the gym.
