"' 'ahtrif'-you can’t tell who’s mur

the. end of- the match will be sure
-Best way to tell who is winning
ji a bout is to watch the fighter’s
'? facial expression. Fright, fear,

oncoming defeat. If, however,
you are too far away to discern

Honorary Searches For

Deadline for turning in entries at
Student Union is Saturday, April
19.
Plans have been started for a
quiz program, similar to the last
one, on Sunday, April 27. One
dollar will, be paid to anyone
submitting a question which the
judges are unable to answer,
Fifty-cents will be added if-the
winner is at the program. Ques
tions on the back of any “3”
bluebook or test paper may be
submitted.
at the next big dance.
, Don’t be. disturbed by the
crowd’s yelling such terms as
haymaker, jab,-, uppercut, body
blow, TKO> or.’ slug—“them’s
just fightin’ words!”
The question always arises as
to what to do when the fans rise
—demanding a knockout. There
are four alternatives:
1. Hide your eyes on your es
cort’s sleeve—but this may ruin
your mascara job and his suit.
2. Place your -hand over your
mouth to suppress a scream.
. 3." Yell “kill ’em” and “get ’em”
with the rest of the blood-thirsty
crowd. .
4. Or, follow the usual outlet—
punch the head of the guy in
front of your and jump up and
down on your seat This last
method will probably—(l) make
you lose your pocketbook, (2)
make you lose your friends, and
(3) make you lose—the fight.
If none of these methods
heightens your 'appreciation of
boxing, and you still can’t under-'
stand the purpose behind it, don’t
be disillusioned. You’ll probably
be sitting next to a combination
sports commentator, coach, and,
interpreter, who’ll make the
whole set-up perfectly clear.

Averages That Mmm
In ThcSpring
Ira La!
What of these tales of spring
fever, of campus trysts, of
Whipple’s Dam versus Ecoti
class! Statistics show that sun
shine and showers and soaring
mercury not only are conducive
to study, but they produce high
er averages every time.
For the "past five' years, sec
ond semester averages for men,
women, fraternity brothers, sor
ority sisters, independent guys
and gals, and for the whole lot
rolled together have been high
er by an average of .07 points.
Not much of a jump for an in
dividual, but a noticeable dif
ference in the All-College light.
During this half decade sec
ond semester All-College ave
rage never went below the 1.41
mark and for the last three year_s
has remained a constant 1.43.
First semester averages, on the
other hand, have never hit
above 1.38 with majority of fig
ures lower than that.
Sorority women prove the ex
ception to the rule and show
marked weaknesses for spring
•with a drop in combined ave
rages of .03 points. Manliness
finds the balmy clime an asset
as men’s grades rise .08 points
each season.
