Campus Is Overrun
By Crazy Felines
Political campaigning on state and national levels is over for a
time at least and heavy campus politicking.has taken its place.
Instead of pictures of Republicans arid Democrats, banners pro
claiming the glory of . Lion-and State are decorating the campus.
The race is on. The, Lions! arg roaring the."promises of their platform;
the Staters are pointing with
pride to theirs. . .
State’s only worry, so they
.is,': the Lion-Party, and the
L'ions are ' worried simply .about
beating the State Party. Little do
they know about the fast-spread
ing . new party that hit - campus
recently.

Ifiro the
Looking Glass
with Gahbi
Now that the snow has melted
and we can see below our
noses again—it’s just about
time that I start singing the
praises of ETHEL’S again.
You thought the snow would
freeze my fingers, but I
fooled you! Instead of a Tom
and Jerry to thaw me out,
I tried ETHEL’S for warmth
and cheer.
An illuminating experience •
fcr you
... a handful of electricity
in the form of a “Cozy-lite,”
that comes in 3-D technicolor
and clips on your book ..or
headboard. (Put your pola
roids down, we’re just josh
ing). It’s the craziest for 2
o’clock Spanish translating
sessions when your roommate
subtly hints about the glaring
overhead light as he buries
his head under the mattress.
(Looking for a monkey
wrench, no doubt). They’re
clever, handy and only 1.95.
Great for gift-giving, too!
Solution for overcrowded
bulletin boards
... a scrapbook that’s so neat
and handsome it can . sit in
any library right ’long side
Bill Shakespeare, proud as
punch because of its fine
leather binding. No messy
strings to knot your patience
or fingers ’cause the pages are
- permanent. We like them bet
ter with gold monograms,
that’s done at ETHEL’S and
costs not one cent more than
the 2.95 or 4.95 for the book '
(it’s not that I can’t make up
my mind, there’s 2 sizes). '
Vegetables you don't have .
to eat
. . . cause they’re in the form
of dolls, stuffed saucies with
lima-bean, carrot or tomato
heads (just like your -best
gal’s??). We can’t even begin
to describe their cleverness
and originality because it
takes words I can’t even spell
—like adoribbule and purkey.
(I wasn’t kidding, was I?)
But it’s just like everything
else at ETHEL’S, you can’t
appreciate them till you see
them. We’re sure you’ll be
fascinated, g’wan down and
make yourself homely (Where
did I put that thesaurus??)
We’ll be seeing you ...
