Club Hubanna
Illingsworth Smurdley was not the dumbest guy in
the world, but he was not the smartest, either. IllingSworth
had been something of a big shot at Belchersville High—
vice president of the Pin Feathers Club, assistant man
ager of the quoits team, runner-up for Face-of-the-Year.
People thought he had promise.
When he came to Penn State, however, Smurdley
fell in with the wrong crowd. He took to retrieving gum
wads from under the tables in the Snack Bar, going to bed
with his high tops on, and painting mustaches on the art
works in the halls of the Temporary Building. Smurdley
was also a rather loud-mouthed exponent of the belief
that no guy at Penn State can get. a date with a coed
(that's a woman student at the Pennsylvania State Uni•
versity) unless he belongs to a fraternity.
Illingsworth's roommate, a rather quiet kid from
Grass Flats, Pa., disagreed with Smurdley about the no
date business. One day he said to Smurdley, "I'll tell you
what I'll do, Smurd." (He called him Smurd as a shortened
form of Smurdley) "I'll get a date this weekend just to
show you that a nonfraternity man can do so."
"Be my guest," smirked Smurdley, confident in his
nauseous way that his roommate, a confirmed nonfra•
ternity man, could never secure the companionship of a
young lady at the Pennsylvania State University.
That night, Smurdley's roommate called up a svelte
sweetie who sat next to him in Tobacco Shredding 66
a TV course.
"I should very much like to enjoy your companion
ship on Saturday night, February 28," he said. •
"Whys" the svelte sweetie demurred—all coeds at
Penn State MUST demur when they are first called—lust
what did you have in mind?"
"Have in mind!" chortled Smurdley's roommate in
his most contagious chortling manner. "There is just ONE
thing to do this Saturday night—dance to the CAM
PUSEERS at the CLUB HUBANNA."
"Oh-h-h-h," the svelte sweetie cooed. "You are a doll,
a living, breathing, fun-loving doll. OF COURSE I'll go
to the Club Hubana to dance to the CAMPUSEERS. It's
SO SWEET of you to ask me. All the girls in my dorm
are dying to be asked to Club Hubana.'
Blingsworth? He spent the evening trying 'to read the
great names on the top of Sparks Building—backwards.
Coes, make-up; Robert Green,
properties; Linda Ackley and
Eleanor Daniels, construction; and
William Roberts, house.
Tickets will go on sale March 2
at the Hetzel Union desk.
