Awgwan Staff
Marks Tuesday
As Issue Date
BY GEORGE T. SHESTAK.
Herman Goering claimed he
wasn't really a nazi, Pat Lahr an
nounced that beer would soon be
available in the crib, and Ruth
Korb promised that the Awgwan
would be out Tuesday morning.
This is to be taken with a grain
of salt. A hogshead of salt would
really be more appropriate, since
Ruth Korb herself is never seen
out Tuesday morning.
Price Paid.
However, Mr. Tobin of the In
ternational Teamsters Union
would only delay those Awgwan
covers for so long for 50c, Bill
Miller's autograph and an old
Kappa Kappa Gamma pin.
Among the examples of second
rate humor in this next Awgwan
are an expose of something or
other by Triphammer Peepash,
an evil ptay by Bob Samardick
and cartoons by Jody Wolcott.
Who Cares.
But who cares? The Awgwan
probably won't be out for a week
of Wednesdays and if it does come
out Tuesday morning, the question
is still, who cares?
In case anyone does care, the
Awgwans will be delivered to all
organized houses Tuesday. Stu
dents who do not live in organ
ized houses may pick their copies
up at the Awgwan booth in the
Union. The booth will open at 10
a. m. Tuesday and will remain
there for several days.

Ghost Visitor
In this presentation, Scrooge's
reclamation begins with the visit
of the ghost of his deceased part
ner, Jacob Marley. A hard, bitter,
unyielding man, Scrooge scorned
the sentimentality of his young
nephew in regard to Christmas,
but after leaving Fred and re
turning home, he begins a strange
journey accompanied by three
spirits sent to him by Marley.

cold skeleton frame to a smaller

certainly had his share of brain
convulsions for there was an In

I see no relation between Ger

weather we are experiencing but
I am co-operative so I asks Osh
kosh why he sez these things. He
reminds me that Geronimo packed

canooed southward to escape the
"Frozen Rains" but does civiliza

States to be rid a frigid climate?
Obviously no we suffer through
the winter season with disease and

I had feared that Oshkoshs men

in his revealing that he (Oshkosh)
had been studying Indian Lore in
the Red Ryder Boya club or moie
than likely the Lone Rangers
(which are anything but alone).
But to my relief Geronimo was
merely a figure in a weather re
port. "Oshkosh, how was the blonde

fish bowl and notes my question

blades and a guttural comment

We decide to head for the
Union and on the way see these
specimans of humanity (ripping
crisply by us to their individual
destinies. One character would
speed madly down the walk for
five feet or so, stop, rub his ocular
faculties, peer sharply about him

a returned ancestor fantasy or his

correspondence.
The increase in the number of
students attending the university
next year has not been equaled
for many years, according to Di
rector Rosenlof, and an increas
ingly normal year is anticipated.
Registration.
Early registration for students
now attending begins the week
preceding exam week, Jan. 14 and
closes Jan. 19. Those students now
attending school must pay their
fees on Jan. 23, 24, or 25, and a
late fee will be charged to all
those not paying tuition before
the evening of Jan. 25. Students
enrolling next semester will have
the opportunity to register Jan.
28, and 29, and will pay their
fees as they register.
All junior division students who
have not already done so must
report to their advisors before
noon next Saturday, Dec. 22, to
prepare their registration papers
for the second semester, accord
ing to Dean Nels A. Bengston,
dean of junior division.
Freshmen students who have
not yet completed their registra
tion forms must do so early in the
week in order to avoid the con
gestion and the closed sections
which will probably appear later
on, Bengston reported.
