Trying To Escape Just _Dosent Work; Moral: Keep Dates The wind. was sweeping black clouds across the narrowing ex panse of sky, as a' dim figure slipped from the side' door of a building. It was clad in a long black coat, several sizes too large, and had a black covering over its head. The dark shape made its way down- the path to the Mall, cast ing furtive glances behind and to the side. Moving rapidly along toward the Corner, it coughed violently and covered its tface with a glove as anyone passed by. Reaching the street, it made a quick dasih for a building three or four doors up. The lights of the street revealed that it was a girl, clad i» slacks and wearing huge green-framed glasses, her face colorless and lacking lipstick. After making a quick transaction, at the ticket window, she disappeared within the building. She' groped up the balcony steps, managed to find a seat, and slumped down in it with a profound sigh of relief. She became deeply engrossed in the action before her. Hours went by, ar.d before she realized what was happening the room lit up and a can was being passed around for the “March of Dimes.” She clutched at her chair, and 1 stared wildly aibodt her. The three rows in front of her were tilled with brothers of a well known local fraternity. At the. same moment, one of them turn ed around and looked at her with a penetrating stare. “Jean!” he cried impulsively. Then after a second glance, “Oh, pardon me, you look so much like a girl my roommate dates.” “Of cauiws,” she murmured in a muffled voice, sinking deeper into her seat. He looked at her with a puzzled expression, but the theater dark ened again. She lunged from her seat and forced her way through the crowd out onto- the street. Crossing the Street, <?he hurried back up the Mall and into the side door of her dorm. Once safely in her room, she threw off the green glasses, re turned the large coat to her room mate’s closet. She threw herself down upon her bed and'contem plated the evening. “Leave Her to Heaven” was worth it, but it was just her luck to sit behind his whole fraternity. Yes, breaking a date in State College was a com plicated business, requiring a mastery of disquise.
