As Elections F
Political Palovel
Puzzled, Pantin(
The skies glared down w ith clouded
lids that (lay last week when polities
once again reared its ugly head on
the old USC campus. The rustic
little chapel suddenly w as teeming
with political -ermin.
A freshman stood i fet feet away
and viewed the situation with alarm
and anxiety. Too many people
freshman are shy, you know!
"Stinky !" shouted a %.oice wt hieb
didn't need to shout as the breath
behind it entered the freshtans col
lar and burned down his spine. Si
multaneously, an iron hand clamped
down on the freshmanl's shoulder and
pivoted himt arnuttl.
Recognition floo<led Stink %'s brain.
The somnd effect. and the clutching
paw had radiated from the sophomore
who lived dow nu the hall in Stikvs
tenement. Stinky w ineed: he had
often w%onlderel if the sophomtore
cotld (ldo dntue than grunt, a,d nowv
that the answecr to his, curiosity had
had its audible finltillmlent, hte found
the sophomore's grunts distiniety
preferable to his bellow.
"You are just the guy I w anted to
see." the sophtomere b.oomued. This,
thought Stinky. did not talley sith
his preconceived ideas that the sight
of hint had an emtetic effect on the
sophomere.
"Yot of cour1e dn't know how to
vote." rattled the Sophotcilr. propel
ling his % ictiu tow%ard the polls.
"Scratch (whisper) and (wthi.per).
(ood man! See you ar.,und."

Brooksie Goes
Back On Old Sta
' YWCA President S
'Oklahoma' And S
Air. Smith may have gone to Wash
ington, but the YW's president
Brooksie did him one better because
"Miss Marshall went to New York."
Just how much of a dent Brooksie
made in the big city is unknown, but
of New York's assets, she has a
hulging vocabulary of words. "1 had
the most wonderful time ! There's no
place quite like it."
The President of the YWCA left
the last of June to attend the Presi
dent's Summer School at Columbia
University sponsored by The National
Intercollegiate Christian Council. For
six weeks Brooksie studied probleis
in'religion, industry, and social move
nents. To add color and interest to
these courses, tours were taken to
snch points as International ilouse,
the Rowery. Chinatown. I arlem,
National Headquarters of Stndent
YMCA and YWCA.
Then under her breath Br,oksic ad
mitted that she did some touring of
her own. "I got to see Oklahoma and
a conplc of other play,."
''1've never seen six svceks go by
so fast. We had to study and hard.
Ve went to classes from eight to
three. In the afternoons all of us had
jobs. I never could quite see the con
nection. but me being a journalism
student they let me do sonic filing.
Sometimes when I think back my con
science hurts me about those files.
They were so healthy before 1 started.
Yep, it was hard but it was worth it.
"We had a wonderful faculty but in
addition to our own teachers we had
visiting professors from other schools.
Miss Fern Babeoek, formerly a
national student secretary of the
VWCA, Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick,
t;eorge A. Ruttrick. Mrs. Roosevelt,
and )r. Lister Pope vei-re a few of our
speakers. And imagine ime in discus
sionn nith all thioe celehs I'd read
ahot. Sometimes Ild ssonder if it
were really me."
Anyway our Br oksie is back on
her old stamping groutnds with plenty
of ideas and plans crammed in head
and envelope, which she intends to
enject into the Y\'s bloodstream.
