Junior Women
Bite Nails, Awaiting Verdict
"Allah," "Allah," and another
"Allah" . . You must know by now . .
it couldnt be anything but the
nerval and excital Junior Women,
bowing; and scraping: before the
most supreme "Cement Boards,"
not to be confused with the
Masons.
For the past three or four weeks,
the Junior Women have been
quietly tearing- their hair, chewing
nails, and beating their heads
against brick walls, wafting for
that final moment if and when
that mask is slipped over their
bloodshot eyes. A great meeting
f potentials could be found at
. any time in the union or in the
drug, whispering, giggling or paus
ing for a moment of silent prayer,
They have seemed to work out
some sort of a schedule that they
have followed faithfully for some
time.
Toothpaste Grin Scores.
The most important of their
rules and regulations is to give
each and every "motor boat" their
best toothpaste ad smile, to open
all doors for them, and generally
knock themselves out to be seen
working their fingers to that old
bone, smiling happily all the time..
Their motto is "service with a
smile."
Outside of making the best pos
sible impression on the most su
preme, they must keep themselves
busy enough to forget about those
black robes. So they go to all
the movies, and express their
Indigestion
Throws Dorm
Into Upheaval
"How d'ya feel?" was the
proper salutation Friday at the
Dorm when a mob, a gang, or
a group numbered everywhere
from the 90 estimated by Miss
Hortense Allen, business direc
tor of the Dorm, to a guess of
from 75 to 250 found bed the
proper place to stay.
The casualty list included two
groups generally, those sick
from "that food" and those who
helped those who ware sick.
It all started when, about 9
p. m. Thursday, from two to
ten girls on every floor began
dashing down the halls all with
the same goal in mind. Between
9 and 9:30, says one report, 40
individuals had made one to
many trips "there."
Discuss Unseen Enemy.
Groups gathering in the halls
to discuss Ihe "unseen enemy"
heard various stories which ex
plained the escaping of those few
individuals. The enemy was the
food for dinner; beets or ham or
beans, every one agreed, in
citing Dr. R. A. Lyman, direc
tor of student health. Of course
a Lincoln radio station an
nounced an "intestinal flu epi
demic at the women's residence
halls."
"If you drank milk for dinner,
you're safe," said Detective
Mundil.
"I drank tea and I'm all
right," said Inspector Aggie Sor
enson. On Friday neither one
were down from the "poisoning
attack."
"If you've eaten between din

tions on sad pictures, just to make
tnemseivea feel better about the
whole thing. Their motto for this
action is "Weep, and Ye Shall
Find."
. Diet, Its Wonderful
"Food, food, go away, and come
another day" is the motto for that
disgusting nervous reaction of not
eating for three days prior to "D
day and "H" hour. Several of the
more hopeful Juniors have been
starving themselves because they
just can't take the time and effort
to force nasty old food down their
jumping throats. Eating is such
a repulsive habit, isn't it?
Sleep is another nasty habit that
they don t have time for. Worry,
worry, worry, is all they can do
m meir little beds at night. But,
then, they always say, "What is
a bed for?"
The results of these time-worn
rules can be seen firmly imprinted
on each and every Junior Activity
Woman. Deep, dark circles under
the drooping eyes, shaking hands,
the motto "MLC," fainting spells,
and a complete nervous breakdown
in general.
But the saddest part of all is
that the ones that comply by those
rules are the ones that practically
have the royal order of Mortar
Board cinched. Once they start to
worry, they get carried away, and
put on a big show the rest of the
time. But they forgot something.
"You can

fool some of the peo
ner and 9 o'clock, you have de
layed the action of the poison,"
said Helen Laird, wherewith
Marge George began eating the
cookies her mother had sent her
and didn't stop until Friday
night.
Played Florence Nightingale.
Some girls whose stomachs
were strong played Florence
Nightingale all night. Ann
Doudna, Barbara Boyd, and Red
Green finally crawled in bed
about 7 Friday morning. Only
praise, and lota of it, could be
found for Miss Allen who helped
until 4 a. m. at least on Friday.
Even Miss Sally Wilson and
Dean Boyles looked a bit tired
after their busy evening.
Beside that "stinky hospital
smell" in the Dorm and the
inconvenience to some people's
stomach's, the "poisoning" will
remain just another Dorm tale
for freshmen to tell their grand
children. State College, Pa. (ACP). Good
teachers should not be drafted re
gardless of age, marital status, or
other qualifications, according to
Dr. M. R. Trabue, dean of the
school of education at Pennsyl
vania State college.
