By Bob McNutt
The hardest thing about writ
Ing a column is to find a way
to begin that will immediately
draw attention to what is to fol
low. Uusually the way I begin
reflects the way I foel. If I start
by saying:
"Boy, I'm so tired I could yawn
right in Heddy LaMarr's face,"
then you know that I'm in bad
shape. But if I start eut with
something like:
A' star fell out of heaven
Right into my arms
Boy! was that thing hot!
then you know that I'm really
on the beam. Oh, well, that's me,
One day down in the dumps, the
next day home taking a bath,
Since I've got this thing started
ha9 appeared so often, a small
sketch of my association with the
"rag" is in order.
Scribes Work . . .
I'm a leg man. That doesn't
mean that I sell legs. False or
otherwise. It means I'm a scribe
Scribes are halfwits, who work.
On college papers. Or sheets. Or
rags. Or what have you. I'm open,
Bib! Leg men write. Dribble. Dirt.
Politics. What's the difference?"!
write anything. I don't cover the
police beat. I cover a seat in the
grill. That's a coke joint. I heard.
All news comes to him who waits,
So I want. But I'm being comfort
able about. Some day I'll get a
scoop. Some students think a
scoop is a fistfull of ice cream
A scoop is a neat story. I know
a neat story, but I could be cen
sored for it.
Years ago. when I was a soph.
I'd do anything for the paper.
I wrote stories on my cuff. I
used white cuffs. I picked up.
A story. Not a Susie. My room
mate sent my shirts out. No story.
That hurt.
... It Says Here.
Years ago, when I was a soph.
I'd do anything for the paper.
One day the paper. Was short of
paper. They sent me down to
the press room. And the printers
ran me through the press twice.
Once on each side. I was a mess.
But I was a walking paper. Stu
dents followed me for weeks. To
read items. I had a large dairy
ad on by vertebrae. When I
shagged at tea dances the ad
changed to malted milk.
Years ago, when I was in High
school. I wrote a lead about our
Dean. I read copy on my lead.
I read proof on my lead. The dean
read my lead, left town. We
haven't seen him since.
I'm a leg man. Only the best
come to the grill. I like to watch
these crazy people. Sometimes it's
nice being a leg man.
And that's my story of a jour
nalism career that has been ex
tremely short if not profitable.

Want a Camel?
Win the War
(ACP). Abdel Kader Larbi, son
of an Arabian shlek, is promising
his friends a camel after the final
United Nations victory.
Si Kader, who helps to teach
Moi'occan at the University of
Pennsylvania, is overjoyed that the
Americans have invaded his coun
try. "We Moroccans like the Amer
icans very much," he said as he
told of his part in the first World
war when he fought with the
French forces. "Casablanca is
somewhat like Philadelphia, but
on the whole more modern."
Si Kader's family lives near the
snow-capped Atlas mountains. And
when he goes home they celebrate
with lavish feasts of sheep roasted
whole, and coua-cous and kebab.
The Arabs, he said, sit on the floor
and eat from a low table, using
only their right hands. Women

to 9:30 p. m. Students who wish
