A Lean And
Hungry Look
(Editors Note: The following
is a reprint of a column written
by 43. J. Cutler, former associate
editor of Collegian, which ap
peared on July 7, 1944.)
Dear Brutus,
This matter of starting a new
semester at college is more compli
cated than the uninitiated would
believe. The first problem is meet
ing friends on the street who in
variably ask, “Did you have a good
time?”
Immediately we start lying to
one another about the riotous va
cation we are. supposed to have
had.- It seems that one loses face
to admit that he did not lap up all
the brew in Philly or Scranton, and
date all the neatly upholstered
women, and get home at six in the
morning.
Then comes the grim procedure
of registering for classes. First the
student must see his advisor. An
advisor is a man who is paid to
look at the student’s pitiful grade'
sheet, remember his own college
triumphs, and sneer.
The advisor also acts as a sched
uling officer. In this capacity, he
and the student discuss the many
interesting, informative, and. valu
able courses offered by the College
(in which the student cannot en
roll because of conflicting hours)
and schedule others.
As you know, not ‘ anyone' can
successfully attend college. It re
quires a certain physical and men
tal well-being. 'ln order to ascer
tain which students possess these
qualities a survival of the fittest
test is made. . The students are
herded into the Armory after their
morale has been lifted by the sight
of posters proclaiming the pay
ment of fees being due in a few
days time.
There each potential registrant
is handed 1000 large printed forms
to fill out. The successful contes
tants in this filing-card marathon
are considered matriculated in the
College, while the weaklings who
fail to run the gauntlet are drag
ged off by the waiting. campus
cops.
Naturally, due to lack of prac
tice, freshmen are at a handicap
in filling out “Grandfather’s sec
ond wife’s maiden -name ('Please
Print),” and Cwens are delegated
to help them. Cwens is a women’s
sophomore honorary society. In all
freshmen classes there are tall,
romantic-locking boys and short,
hdmely ones. During registrat’on,
however, only the short ones can
be seen filling out the .blanks un
aided, while here and there' a
horde of “traditional gray blazers,
trimmed with red” hide a taller
specimen from view.
It is not to be assumed that there
is any waste connected with the
1000 cards each student fills out.
They are used to heat up Old Main
on cold mornings.
Surviving registration, the stu
dent attends the first meeting o'
his class, where the coeds size up
the men and the 1 prof and the men
and prof look over the coeds. When
everyone has ogled his fill, the pro
fessor dismisses the class early so
that it may run downtown and
purchase the new textbook he
wrote between. semesters.
Advice to the lovelorn service is
proving quite successful. I have al
ready been able to solve many per
plexing problems of the heart. The
last letter I received was typical.
Dear Miss Cassius,
My boyfriend does not pay any
attention to me anymore. He just
sits around all evening drinking
beer. What should I do?
Befuddled
Dear Befuddled,
You should spike your boy
friend’s beer with absinthe. As you
know, absinthe makes the heart
grow fonder. *
Auntie Cassius
My Snooper - Dick Detective
Agency is now geared to handle
cases especially for freshmen. We
have been very busy locating for
them lost buildings on campus and
collecting evidence to present
when they are hauled up before
Tribunal.
Your pal,
Cassius
P.S.—Can you lend me five
bucks?
