A 'Witness - -
One of - the 'profs we know has a
project 'On , the fire and has been
traveling around the country
showing it to people. Last week he
visited another school where he
had an appointment with the head
of one of the departments. When
he arrived for his can, he ' was
Carrying his equipment in a neij
case. •He was hardly inside the
door when a man there asked him
i.the' had a victrola. So our man
says , "Yeah, want to hear some
recordst' Whereupon the person
so addressed advised him to de
part peacefully, guickly, and with
out bloodshed. But our:than .was
not to be •discoUraged. He placed
his outfit on a table and started to
open it. That was too much. He
was.i.told :in no uncertain-terms
where to go and how .long he..had
to get there by the man in the
office who slammed the door and
departed for the inner sanctum.
So
,then •our man tells the sec
retary who he is and what he
wants. Soon the head of the de
partment comes out and invites
him inside where there are four

or five men waiting to see •him, in
cluding the one who had left the
front office, so recently. That one
glared, and the others burst 'out
laughing. It seemed our prof was
mistaken for a representative of
the Jehovah's Witnesses Sect who
go around with their message on
records which they play at the
'drop of a hat, and who had visited
this office the week before.
Made Dope - -
Several times in the near past
we've heard girls remark, "Gee, I
can hardly wait for one o'clock."
The occasion for the aforemen
tioned happened to be some couple
who had been sighted the moment
before. The' implications are that
the girls have a little get-together
after hours to • talk over the eve
ning and the men in it. There no
doubt would be plenty of column
material, but we'd bet there's a
lot of it that would never see
print.
What's The Use - - -
Leaning over, we see absent
minded prof on our neighbor's
notes for her column, which r&
minds us that one of the faculty
marched into his class, said quiz,
and turning, •wrote on the board,
"Why does a philosopher?" But
the students are worse. Three or
four started to answer the ques
tion before the man found out he
had forgotten to complete his sen
tence.

Pam Statements
By SERENE ROSENBERG
The Janitors' clique, or perhaps it's,_ just the Grounds and Build. •
ings, have organized their own little campaign. Newest ruling to he
enforced in the liberal artists' favorite hangouts Sparks, Carnegie and
Old Main, is "No Srnoking." The notices scribbled in chalk on 'th:•
black boards in front of each class room have been the standing ob •
ject of ridicule for a long time. But the time has come for action and
the boys from grounds and buildings are putting their respective feet
down. Profs are conscientiously starting class lectures with "Pleaso
don't smoke, or if you do put ashes and butts in a piece of scrap pap
er and throw this in waste basket at end of period." Alum who one()
gloried in smoking in halls, on steps, etc., should hear of this.
Land of Upside Down .
Jimmy Young highlighted his talk here Monday with lots of per
sonal, off-the-record bits about Japan. He explained that at their
parties the Japs gather in the living room, take off their shoes anti
sit around in a circle. "You see," the correspondent added, "they'n
on the floor at the start of their party."
Next Time, Hurry! . . .
They're still doing it over in the Portuguese classes. Last week a
few of the group centered their attention on mass cutting. About four
of them debated the pro's and con's of the idea on the second floor
stairs of Sparks, and just when the argumenb was most heated they
heard a murmur from above. Looking up the guilty group saw their•
instructor, motioning gleefully, and calling, "Come on up, come right
up.here." Which strengthens an old argument' for the "make your de
cision quick" people.
Word to the Wise . . .
A warning seems to be in order for the majority of non-coms cat
campus. A. captain in. his journey s over campus is stopping absent
minded ROTC boys and •reminding them that it is still customary to
salute an officer, and that those two silver bars on his shoulder arenn
Part of a masquerade. Maybe not in those, exact words, but el capitP..o
means business. So if you lack shoulder decorations, beware/
Equilibrium Helps . . .
It could be that budding journalists are just more accident pronto
than other people but anyway copy-desk classes are always the seen
es of slap-stick antics. For instance, one young man hopped up from
his chair to tear of a story on one of the original typewriters they
keep on display in Carnegie Hall. In his haste he caught his foot under
the chair of the coed beside him and suddenly she disappeared. As ho
helped her from her momentary home under the table, he offered hisf
apologies, murmuring, "I've been going through the awkward stagu.
for 11 years."
