OLD MANIA
It !dunes works out that was Some days you
sit at a typew stet for ages groping for an idea
And it's not often that you get one. At such
times you pray that the stooges (candidates foi
the staff) know who's smooching who, so that
you can fill this tu• col by 14 in
these conies the day when an idea
dawns So what happens? So this is what happens
Out stooge.t can't, wait Ira us to get into the of
fice Immediately they flood our desk with 14,00&
engagements, pins. bu ths, malt cages, divorces, etc
The more conscientious (the kids who hope to
make out) give us the more practical or conciete
stuff That all the noted money-huggers in town
decided (all at one time) to pal t with some of the
filthy lucre and put it into some much needed im
provements.
We're not going to say ulgi these Rockefellets
are, because that could be free advertising But
you all know
The Idea
Getting boa to that mgcmods idea Because
of space Imitations, v.e're not going to use it
today. But %%ell give you our plan and hope to
cat iv it out sometime in the near future
Since there ate about GI girls in this college
(compaintively speaking, that's) and 55 of them
have already been named some queen or other, we
were thinking that in the memanung few these ate
some gals v.ho base been slighted No kidding
Now, theme could be a queen of unknown queens
For this title, we could name Louise Bieuningei
or ass of a few ethos we base on the list Poi
queen of the handshake's, Winme Watson could
make some mighty fine curtseys And so on
So keep your eye out I'm nevt week's legal col
