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.”

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.
