Suppressed Ho Stadenis Pi rwrtw I hose ?. < Freak Desires Are Exposed Dr. Bonn Would Be A RahRah Frosh Again And A Bear With Ladies . -<5' By Mary Ford "I'd tike to tear a telephone from the wall and throw it into the street below; I saw a reporter on The State do it once, and I've longed to follow his example ever since"! That is the suppressed desire of Dr. Reed Smith, dean of the University graduate school. Other unrequitable yens expressed by students and professors were unique and unusual but all paled before the graduate school dean s. Some of them were; Dr. E. T. Bonn: I'd like to be a rah-rah freshman again, and a perfect bear with the ladies. L. L. Gregory: I'd like to sit in a rocking chair for the rest of my days and watch the blue sky. Esther Webber: To print a book about my operation. Prof. J. M. Stokes: To be a head waiter. Nora Sparkman: To pass psychology. John Brantley: To hunt lions in Africa and be the cream in somebody's coffee. Bryan Walton: To be the cherry in somebody's fruit salad. Lucille Grant: My suppressed desire is to ride a motorcycle. Dr. G. A. Wauchope: I'd like to go to Europe again, particularly to Italy, where I'd like to revisit the shrine of Dante. Julian Bradsher: My suppressed desire is to make A on math next semester. Lib Cornwall: To chew chewing gum as loud as I please without anybody fussing at me. Prof. Vernon Cook: To go to Athens, spent at least a year there, and see all the famous places I've read about. Prof. J. E Norwood: To own some eighteenth century prints, books, and etchings. Jim Walters: To get married. Dr. F. W. Bradley: I'd like a seat on the bank of a quiet stream "far from the maddening crowd," with the fish biting fast and strong, and no mosquitoes. Philip Sabbagha: To grow six inches. Prof. R. H. Winenfeld: To drown about 500 students. Wilhemina Robinson: I'd like to get my salary. Prof. O. F. Crow: To be a retired millionaire and do what I please. I'd like to go to Paris, visit the Cafe de la Paix, and let the rest of the world go by. Prof. Emmett Kilpatrick: To take a trip into foreign countries with some of my students. I'd like to see their reactions to certain places and events. W. M. Walker. I'd like to make A on Greek. Dr. Havilah Babcock: I think it would be a good idea to have a Dictaphone and deliver my lectures into it. I could use the same records year after year, because I tell the same jokes anyway, and say "Be quiet, John Smith" occasionally. Then while the lecture was being run off I could be out fishing. o. >. o.
