We; The Women
Houseparty Is A
Triple-Threat Date
Houseparty best approaches the
movie version of everyday col
lege-life. The high school boy or
girl's dream of a college big
weekend is - summed up in this
three-day whirl of dances, picnics;
and casual dateS. If the football
team scores the winning touch-
down in the -last few minutes of
play—as- happened six house-par
ties ago—it would. scarcely faze
a soul. For almos't anything. can
happen at houseparty.
I'ts the triple-threat date that ,
coeds are warned about. Advice
on what to wear and what not to
do madly circulates the campus .
for weeks previous to .the -big
event. "You've never lived until
you attend a houseparty at State"
is the current , recommendation.
If you can live through it you're
inclined to heartily agree.
T 6 the coed houseparty means
dancirkg with the man of her
hour, wearing a huge pompom to
the game, two three o'clocks, and
bull sessions in the dorm until
four o'clock about love, hOuse
party, and love.
,To the man houseparty means
. . . well, it all depends' on the
man and the conditiOn he's in.
As to clotkes—a fctrmal Friday.
. night, a sheer wool for the game
and tea dance which follows Sat
urday, and a dressy silk for Sat
urday night will• do the trick.
And of course houseparty is the
weekend many a. coed's pet hi-le
-the irnpore---arrives to usurp
her man and leave her pining
for a lust ordinary weekend of
,noncompetitive action. 4 The most
whiiti :can be 1 said .about 99 per
, cent of tlielitipdrts IS rA,..AMOR
OLT& The least which can be ad
ded is that 33 1 / 2 per cent , of the
coeds dislike them for stealing
their dates, 33 1 / 2 , per cent dislike
them because imports are tradi
tionally disliked, and the other
33 1 / 2 per cent, just plain dislike
them. (We might add that 'most
,imports are swell kids, but be
ing a coed we wouldn't 'dare.)
If this is your first houseparty
add what we've said to what we
could have said about remember
ing to be a lady and you may
know what to expect. If you have
experienced other houseparties
you know that you can go into it
with your eyes and ears open and
still know what to expect. So
what's the use?
At any rate,'houseparty is THE
weekend of the year—a threefold
chance for a wonderful time. So,
if you know, the score on your
houseparty tally, yours. is a hap
py houseparty!
With Other Women—
Coeds Bemoan Loss Of

'Coeds at Ohio Wesleyan are
complaining because Sulphur
Sriring, traditional pin planting
spot, has gone dry.
