Too Late To Class...
By PAUL "SCOOP" LEAGUE
FAMOUS SAYINGS-Of Famous People:
Connie Morton-If you see Connie Morton tell
him that there are about a thousand girls down at
the Woman's building looking for him.
Paulette West-I can't tonight; I've got to study.
Theresa Tenore-Come home Tommy. All is for
given.
Louise Fry-Do you know what the two old
maids said to the spook?
Marguerita Tice-No icebox; no "Jeep."
POLITICAL PALAVER:
He approached a campus political bdss the other day and they began
discussing the coming spring elections.
"I can swing a bloc for you," he confided to the boss. "The Michigan
vote."
"The Michigan vote?" the boss queried.
"Yeah," was the reply. "Me and my brother. We are the only Michi
gan students in school."
DRAMA A LA PRESTON:
Time: Recent exam week.
Place: Preston dormitory lobby.
Situation: There is but a dim light burning in the lobby and all is
quiet in the building, as should be at such a time. Over in one corner
is freshman Bill Neeley, gazing with mingled awe and fear at an ob
ject the size of a portable typewriter, which is connected by wires to
a wall socket there. Enter freshman Tom Abell.
Abell: You studying any Bill? Say what is that?
Neeley: Just come a little closer and listen to that ticking inside this
thing, like a clock, then tell me what it is. Yeah, I'm studying. Study
ing the fastest way to clear out of here.
Abell: Do you suppose it could be a time-bomb? You know I saw
a suspicious looking fellow in here today by the way. Here comes three
law students, who've just finished their exams. Maybe they can help.
(Enter Jerry Hughes, Snag Legare, and Rock Yarborough, who im
mediately learn the story.)
Hughes: Hic, hic, hello, good-bye. (Exit Hughes).
Legare: Hic, hic, hell. (Exit Legare.)
Yarborough: Hic, hic. (The door closes behind the three hicks, but
another opens admitting a freshman. Gad but the place abounds with
them.)
Abell: Don't go near that thing, frosh. It's, it's a time-bomb. It
might blow this place up.
Freshman: (Falling on the floor and laughing like a crazy man)
You poor darn fools. That's not a bomb. That's just a meter put in
here by the electric light company to measure how much electricity is
being used. (Freshman opens box as proof, then throws water on the
two to revive them.)
Abell: The bomb's explained all right, but who was that suspicious
fellow that I saw?"
Freshman: Him. Oh he's just a professor who lives up stairs.

GIVE THE COMMON MAN A BREAK
This should be entitled "How to lose Political Friends," although I
emphatically deny that it is aimed at any one person, living or dead.
Every year when the legislature convenes, jobs such as page duty,
operation of the capitol elevator, etc., are made available to University
students. This gripe is directed toward the nepotic state of affairs
concerning the granting of those jobs.
In most instances, although there are a few exceptions, the fellows
who got the jobs this session didn't actually need the work. The fellows
were those kind that write a check on their parents anytime they need
cash. They have the jobs when poorer fellows are struggling to get
through schgol.
Our remedy is for the ones responsible to act. Take the politics out
of the thing and base the job-giving on civil service requirements. At
least base it on merit, not family connections.
We reiterate. This is not aimed at any one person.
George Prince, Attention: We're not giving you the Black-black
Feather, but we would fike to know what happened to your "Y" comi
mittee on student-faculty relations. It was supposed to have accom
plished such wonders and would have if you'd worked on the thing just a
wee bit; or if you'd appointed the right ones to it.
LINES-O'-TYPE:
Reports have it that Deward Brittain, columnist, had a visit from the
Sigma Chi brotherhood last week because of an item in his plot-o'-type
and that the things discussed weren't so pleasant. . . Reports also in
dicate that Holmes Dreher, Brittain's right hand man, was present and
prepared to shed his glasses if necessary. . . it wasn't necessary. . . this
corner is glad to see a campus committee carrying out one of League's
ideas, the painting of Dr. McKissick's portrait, even though he isn't given
credit for it. . . this is the piece that M. Farrell, Coach Enright's secre
tary, renders in an effort to entertain: T.B. or not T.B., that is the
congestion. Consumption be done about it? Of cough, of cough.. .
Coach J. A. Crawford, who accomplishes the most with the least
equipment, is going to present medals to girls and boys tennis champs
in the spring campus eliminations that the tennis team is starting soon...
clipped definition of the ages of woman: from safety pins to fraternity
pins, to rolling pins. . . we always wondered why Pat Patterson never
nominated for the nicest telephone voice of the week a certain gal
named "Holly", who's known to all the boys in Preston dorm. . . may
be Pat was keeping her a secret from the rest of the fellows. . .we wonder
if we aren't a bit cynical wvhen we laugh at the fact that a pro(essor of
sociology rides through the campus in a shiny new car.. .or is there
any irony in that...
Just for fun we would have liked to had the chance to ask Jeannette
McDonald recently if she could play basketball when she was in school
...we'll write the words, Jean Brunson, if you'll compose the music
to the title "Dingle-Bells" and dedicate the song to those insipid crea
tures that sit on the front seat and cross their legs in every class they
attend...

Noted Educator
Expects Decline
In Registration
Two Per Cent Decrease
In Frosh Enrollment
Is Dangerous Omen
Cincinnati, . Ohio-(ACP)-In
spit of a slight increase in total en
rollments in the nation's colleges
and universities during 1040, Dr.
Raniond Walters, president of the
University of Cincinnati, predicts a
marked attendance drop in futurt
years.
Dr. Walters, a recognized leader
in the field of college attendanct
statistics, bases his forecast on th(
fact that freshman enrollments de
creased 2 per cent in 1940. He feels
this decrease is the forerunner of a
trend.
The freshman enrollment de
crease, says Dr. Walters, should
warn educators that universities in
the future will have fewer prospec
tive students because of more
stringent immigration regulations
and a decline in the nation's birth
rate.
