It can't be beat. But Nina Wilcox Putnam has formu lated a right fair come-back: ,"Men are as transparent as cellophane and as hard to get rid of, once you become wrapped up in them." Such adept verbage might be relished by Dr. Ti. W. Franz. That worthy professor of En glish savors a well turned out phrase as the epicure gloats over culinary perfection, cher ishing it, lingering over it with a frantic gleam in his eye. He Is also a superior racon teur, choosing each word with the utmost care and chukling de lightedly when a particularly apt verbal dish results. He has even been known to smack his lips at a choice bit. Perhaps it's a carry-over fro his charming wife's southern cooking. I still like the explanation of the old belief that ghosts could be ad dressed only in Latin; It seems that that medium of expression was successful because it is a dead language. Ability to speak of anything at all, however, is not a lost art with Prof. Harold Stoke. He has mar velous talcs to tell about the bliz zards of his childhood, the early days of the university, or the trials of keeping a handsome son in funds. Loyal to the school with which he has been associated lo these many years, he keeps par ticular faith with those employes of the school who have grown old in the harness and been retired. Last year he sponsored the cause of one Jack Uhl, for over three decades in the service of the university, who had been taken off the payrolls at the age of 76. He has long been advocating fair pensionings for worthy but inse cure aged, with all the fire of a true instructor in political science. And we don't mean sissy poli sigh! I wish Arnic Levin would cease gloating over his brain child: Tarzan Stripes forever. Perhaps he should have a chat with the little pledge who commented that yes, thank you. she had met some very nice boys on the campus, but not one had aroused the animal in her. ..!

Short Shatter Halts Stceltering Weather "Summer" school having con tinued for two weeks and the general enthusiasm of the stu dents having decreased cor respondingly, the spell was fi nally broken by a little rain and the lack of energy on the part of the students was left without an alibi. Would be philosophers pon dered on the possibility of spring in autumn and whether or not it would last into winter while they "caked" and waited, with the rest of the campus population, for the little shower to cease. Those who were over ly enthusiastic about the change in weather enjoyed the walk home thru the rain and the sprinklers, which had been left on by those pessimistic enough to think the small storm wouldn't last.
