CY. THURSDAY, JANUARY 27, 1949 The Big Show The big inauguration show in Washington last week drew enor-j mous crowds with President Truman Editorial, The Blue Stocking: The Blue Stocking has coined a new Latin phrase to hail the ele'c- ! tion of Doug Kiker and Laddie Brearley as its guiding hands for the ! next two semesters. Translated, this new and partially original phrase, ‘Sic Advenit Gloria Mundi,’’ reads “Thus Comes the Glory —of the World.” And thus it does under this new leadership of Kiker, Brearley and~rnmpany. This new regime will take the reins of The Blue Stocking to guide its fate for another whole year, pos sibly the longest the two new ad ministrators will see in their earthly existence, with the next issue. But, don’t let the preceding sentence lead you to believe that it hasn’t been , tun for the outgoing administration, ’cause it has, every issue of it. It is with a bit of reluctance that the edi tor and business manager give up ; their posts, but lurking in the back ground as they do fade out of the, picture, there is a sense of relief. !
