I© Senior Ball
Be sure to wear your long
.pants to the Senior Ball tonight,
"boys.” It’s formal, you know.
And we don’t go for tails because
they wag too much, but if you
must wear them, wear the kind
that stops at the bend of the knee,
for this will distinguish you from
the headwaiter at the Ritz or
from the orchestra leader.
If you’re 'taking your date to
the wrestling meets tomorrow
night, remember that off-tire-face
Irate are in style for men now.
"Brims up—chins up” (both of
them) is the motto of the well
dressed hatman these days.
And for Pete’s sake, don’t ex
pect friction to keep your socks
up! Wear a girdle if you must.
You can get them with fourth
dimensions now, anyway. Color
ful socks are okay since men’s
clothing Is-kind of dull anyway,
but don’t run it into the ground.
Yours for a well-dressed week
end.

¥©ia lucky Boys!
Gentlemen, be of good cheer.
Coeds to the extent of 76 per cent
prefer personality to clothes,
convertibles, cash, or comeliness
according to, The Daily Colleg
ian’s recent check-up of femi
nine opinion.
Senior Ball dates are plenti
ful tonight with 61 per cent co
ed attendance in view. Import
competition which usually men
aces at least a third, of the'local
lassies is noticeable by its ab
sence. And incidentally, a gar
denia will do the trick as well
as an orchid for only half the
gals are impressed by them.
The “If I ever have a daughter,
I want her to be just like you”
approach won’t do either for 74
per cent of the women say they
can’t be fooled by such bits of
blarney. The women don’t rate
campus men as bashful boys,
however, but think they’re a
bunch of amiable, happy-go
lucky souls with leanings toward
egotism.
Date doings after 11 p. m. run
to sitting in the Comer Room,
for 54 per cent of the coeds,
dancing for 36 per cent, ping
pong and such trivials for 5 per
cent, and the other 5 are honest
enough to admit they neck.

FAR BEYOND THE NORTH
ERN SEA, Feb. 28—Fifty men
ousted from the staff of The
Daily Collegian by a band of
rampant Amazons rioted joyous
ly ‘in their Siberia here today,
declaring “we never knew "what
happiness was until we got away
from the nagging of those wom
en.”
Professing to care nothing
about what happened to The
Daily Collegian which the wom
en had taken over, they declared
over and over again their inten
tion to stay here “until hell
freezes over.” All 50 made ap
plication for citizenship papers
wtihin 10 hours of their arrival.
Above, or below, are Senior Ball Co-chairmen Thomas C. Back-"
enstates and William J. Shevock.

for men’s news, but somehow these got in the back door.)

del pretzel hold may appeal to
them for one night, but it gets
monotonous.
The mouses are easily led, sis
ters, but they want it done subt
ly, with finesse. And exhibitions
in Ath Hall drawing room fash
ion merely satiates them tem
porarily. A more adroit method,
believe me, is the lasting one,
which calls for a little more
headwork than mouthwork. Also,
a tasty little catchline thrown
out to the mouses may hook them
quicker, but a line without a
hook will hold them longer.
These underlings are very sus
picious. They can smell cheese
dressed up as attractive bait, and
they will play around with it for
awhile, then drop it. Now, bait
offered as bait, attracts them.
These mouses are smarter than
we think. They can detect,.a
“cellar digger” a cellar away.
They don’t give themselves
away; they just let her dig, then
beat her at her own game. 7 As
for wolfing, which is only a larg
er variety of mouse, mouses are
trained in infancy to listen for
the baying of the hungry wolf.
Now, sisters, most of this ad
vice must be learned by exper
ience, but at least remember one
thing. He who nibbles at the
noose will soon be loose;

The newcomers were an object
of great curiosity to the natives
who were brought here so young
they were unable to remember;
what women are like. The men
were plied with all manner of
questions about the women they
had left.
“Women,” said one, “are the
damndest things. When you’re
with ’em you hate ’em and you
think you can’t get along with
out ’em.” Then he sighed,
“Thank goodness we found out
different before we were 70.”
“They’re like black widow
spiders,” one of the refugees said,
“the prettiest looking things and
the most poisonous animals you
ever ran into.”
“Ever seen a tiger?” asked an
other.

vided positions as army hostesses

had work in physical education,
recreation, or even camp coun
selling. Ruth L. Linn ’39, stenog
rapher in the physical education
department, has just received
notice of her appointment as
junior hostess at the Aberdeen
Proving Grounds, 30 miles from
Baltimore, Md.
Out of 2500 applicants from the
Third Corps Division, Miss Linn
was one of 25 women selected for
the- post. “It is definitely a new
field for women,” stated Miss
Linn, “and offers marvelous
chances for anyone interested in
that type of work.”
