Thurber Stories
For Speaker
Ten Sparks was filled yester
day afternoon with students and
faculty members awaiting David
K. Harris' talk on "Oxford Uni
versity." But he never appeared.
Professor Paul R. Beall of the
speech department, however, was
present and took the situation in
hand. After warning the audi
ence that "If you like this, it's
Thurber's fault, not mine," Pro
fessor Beall went on to tell a few
anecdotes by the famed humor
ist.
The old story of Little Red
Riding Hood was given a new
twist when instead of falling for
the wolf's disguise, the little girl
realized it wasn't her grand
mother and shot the wolf. The
moral of that story is that it isn't
so easy to fool little girls nowa
days as it used to be.
The last story the speech pro
fessor told dealt with a woman
who was convinced her husband
should be put away in a "booby
hatch" when he told her he had
seen a unicorn in the garden eat
, ing a lily. When she told this
story to the police and a psychia
trist, they decided that it was
she, and not her husband, who
was insane. Thurber's moral re
vealed that "You , shouldn't count
your boobies until they're
hatched."

Dear Gang:
The Hig got kinda worried
about Saturday's game with West
Virginia so he sent me down here
to do a little scouting.
I had trouble understanding
just what the assignment was.
When the Hig mentioned scout
ing, I sez, "which is your desire
Mr. Higgins, Girl or Boy scout
ing?"
I have taken up residence in
a tree which is located on a hill
overlooking the West Va. cam
pus. Through my lionescope I
have been watching the Mount
aineers practice all week. After
studying them closely I uncover
ed some valuable information
which you can pass along to the
Hig.
There's a cheerleader named
Sally who we should keep our
eye on. Be prepared for plenty
of passes . . . from the team, that
is. One vital fact was uncovered
by an - -engineer down here. He
says that . they're going to start
eleven men, and the guy we have
to be careful of is the one who
carries the' ball.
I also found. out that their
triple threat star has a wart on
his back. Now if we could figure
out some way to keep him from
wearing a jersey during the game,
the wart would serve as a sure
means of identification.
Your Foreign Lionnaixe,
The. Lion.
