in the club organization to make
it more workable and of more
value to university students.

members from all over the state
who come to college and wish to
retain their contacts with the 4-H

Ward heelers
discover Ag
college rough
Three AOPi's and a Chi Omega
found Ag college a bit rough when
they were campaigning for their
sisters at the Ag polls Tuesday. It
seems they were making their
speeches a bit too near the library
and even tho the Ag librarian has
seen some 50 summers, the girls
found themselves ousted from Ag
hall before they knew what it was
about.
Either Iris Krebs or Eric Thor,
one or the other, must be losing
their attraction for the opposite
sex as Eric was the fifth man on
Iris's list for the Phi U party last
Friday night but since she called
him so late in the week Eric was
glad to get a chance to go. And
just to show his appreciation he
took Rose Mary Kone to a formal
Saturday night.
It is rumored that Gerald Voigt
and his friend Johnson from ACBC
have now obtained a map a city in
order to plot the location of their
girl friends homes. The best they
have been able to do so far is an
hour late to every party.
These triangles on Ag campu
are getting even more prominent
of late. The new surprises are:
Art Moseman, Helen Sheve and
Ed Rousek; also Winne White,
Milo Tessar, and Lemayre John,
son. This would hardly be com
plete without Alpha Chi Ellen Ann
Armstrong and her "faithful" Will
Pitner along with two others
whom she has been dating of late.
Couples who are being seen to
gether more and more of late are
.Marian bnmura and Gannus Rich
those who wonder Willis Skrdla
and Betty Jean Spalding have a
spot reserved in Ag hall where
you may find them every noon.
Even tho John Schick has hung
his pin on Virginia Sock, Alpha
Chi, Bob Gelwick, Sig Ep, has been
seen with her quite often these
days.
