Just to Explain It All
(Into our offices yesterday wandered our old friend, Gussie Lor
ltins, whom we hadn't seen for a long time. Gussie was here two years
ago doing a bit of writing now and then. Now he's back, this time to
get an education. Altho his family finances aren't too stable, Gussie
pledged a fraternity'this fall and has vowed to keep up with the best
of them as long "as dad's dough holds out." All in a dither, Gussie
wanted to write a note home explaining all. It follows:
Dear Dad :
Seems almost impossible that
I've been down here more than
a month. But I am fine. In my
last letter I didn't tell you that
I joined one of these here frats.
Didn't want to worry you
about such small matters.
There's 23 of them societies
down here and they all wanted
me but I held out for the best
deal. I'll bet they thought I
was as stubborn as obi "los
sv" just before she had her last
calf.
But what I'm writinjr about
to you now is this scholarship
report or something that
they're printing in today's pa
per.. Don't worry about it. This
here fraternity I'm in is pretty
well down the list but that
doesn't mean much. You see
down here, it isn't like packing
eggs the way we do up there.
The bad ones down here aren't
necessarily on the bottom.
Quite a bit's been said
down here today about the
averages of most of these
here frats (they call them
Greek houses for slang) be
ing below the all-student
average, but that ain't noth
ing against fraternities. You
see a f rat's something more
than just a place to eat, sleep
and study. Being a frat man
is much better than being a
barb (that's what they call
them guys who ain't in any
frat).
You see in a frat, thoy tell
you how to study and get good
grades. We don't have to
spend three hours studying for
a one hour course, because we
have frat files ami some of the
fellas know the teachers. The
fellas told me before I pledged
that we would have some kind
of a study table where every
body that was a freshman had
to study. They decided against
that, I guess though, when Mon
day night meeting interfered
and everyone had some other
meeting to go to every other

My uncle was married yester
day. I told him that the best man
at the wedding was the one who
wasn't getting married. He didn't
take heed.
He claims that he didn't know
what real happiness was until he
got married. Now it's too late!
I feel sorry for him. He used to
enjoy a good drink occasionally.
Now, he doesn't dare spend money
for liquor. His wife makes him
account for every scent.
Perhaps it is all for his own
good. He used to get pretty bad.
One night, after usual dissapation,
I saw him on the sidewalk in
front of his home. All of a sudden
he stirred and said, "I'll climb this
wall if it takes me all night." Oh
well.
Quite a fellow. Went to barber
college once but they expelled him
after he had been there a couple
of weeks. He was putting hair re
storer in the shaving cream.
Well, I don't suppose that he'll
be around much longer. He took
a job in a dynamite factory the
other day so he would quit smoking.
night. Then, of course, we
don't ignore the social life.
I got a new hat cause every
one down here dresses like the
banker's son over at Passion
Center. On Friday's, we have
hour dances. Saturday morn
ing w e have to scrub the house.
In the afternoon, there are tea
dances or football games or
something. Saturday night is
when we date. Sunday morn
ing we sleep and that afternoon
is when a lot of the other fellas
have dates so I do too. Sunday
night we go to bed early.
So you can see how awful it
must be not to be in a frat.
Like one of the fellas said:
Think of the disadvantage these
other guys must suffer because
thev get so bored all thev can
lo is studv.
Well, an v way, don't worry.
There's a lot of reasons why
some ot the traternities are
near the top.
Yours,
Gussie
