Inquire About Engineering.
Mr. Colbert believes that the
large number of students inquir

flects three things: the mechan
ized warfare brought a larger
number of young men into con
tact with the machine, much pub
licity has been given the pos

ready to enter another vast scien

Have you ever felt that you
couldn't stand it any longer? Has
your brain been racked until it
is bare and empty of ideas? Have
you ever thought and thought and
thought and found no answer?
That's the way I feel. I just
found out that there is going to
be a surprise at the Mortar Board
Ball. Not just the surprise of
knowing who the six eligible
bachelors are, but something else.
"It" will be presented right after
the announcement of the bache
lors. Secret.
Just thought I'd let you in on
the secret so you, too, may look
up from your books and mutter,
"I wonder what the surprise is,"
and may startle your professors
when you answer his question
with 'No, it couldnt be that.
What have those Mortar Boards
cooked up now?"
Really, it's quite embarrassing
at times. My loyal classmates
have been investigating the best
sanitariums in the nation, trying
to find one that will cure talking
to yourself and gazing into space
with wrinkled brow and gritted
teeth.
What Can It Be?
At first I went thru the dic
tionary, picking out likely sub
jects for a surprise: Ah, ''ability"
maybe it's an act with talent
and sparkle, something new. Or,
here's "book" maybe a new do
nation for Love Memorial Li
brary. No, that doesn't sound as
logical as ''prize" which might
mean they're giving a prize for
the best dressed couple or some
thing. AWS Grants 1:00 NiSe
University coeds will be
given 1 o'clocks for the Mortar
Board party Saturday evening,
according to Midge Holtz

I only hope I've got you doing
it now, because it's awfully lonely
here in this padded cell. They're
planning to let me out Saturday
night in hopes that the sudden
shock will restore my wandering
mind and the pleasure of discov
ering the secret surprise will give
me something to live for.
