The symptoms arc similar, but this new disease has drawbacks all its own, and it will have to be called Fall Fervor until someone thinks of a better name. Fall Fevor is something every one should watch out for, be cause it falls into the strictly un desirable category of "ugh." If you haven't been feeling too sharp lately, take acre that yoti" are not a victim of this dread malady! Signs of Illness. Do you have pains in your brain? Do you feel limp when you walk home from Ag campus? Does everything go black when you close your eyes? Are you tired when you wake up in the morning? You have it! The pains in your brain are the result of too much studying. You will have to give up this alto gether until you improve consider ably. Spend the time you usually study to find a date for the next week end. You'll find the treat ment most effective, and may wish to ocntinue with it, even after you are cured. : - If you are limp when you ' ar rive, home on foot irom Ag cam pus, you will have to start taking the bus. No doubt your father will be displeased when you ask for a raise, but if you explain the circumstances to him, he will probably be glad to help in your health crusade. . . Early Stages. When you close your eyes and see nothing but blackness, you are indeed unfortunate, this is one of the earlier stages of the disease. Wait until later when you see continued serials every night If. you are tired wbcii you arise from your downy couch of a morning, worry no more. Simply stay in bed and sleep until you feel like getting up. Perhaps the first few days you will wish to stay in bed until night so that you won't be so tired on your date for the evening. Later .on, how ever.'you'll discovor that you can easily get by with 10 hours sleep, and life wil lagain be beautiful. One last word of warning pro fessors are known . to be carriers of this fervor they carry it in assignment books. So to avoid illness, and be mistaken for Charles Atlas, stay away, from assignments! - ' '; fozqqsxL Nation-wide Service Exams To Be Offered .

BY PAT GILLIGAN One more Homecoming fades into the past but congratulations to the new "46-'47 Pen Queen and the prizewinners for the most or iginal homecoming decorations are in order. The first postwar clebration brought many alums from all over to NU and the open houses were well attended. Friday night at the Pike brought singular honor to the DU's when Frankie Masters in vited any members present to ad vance and shake hands with a brother. A congenial foursome en joying the music were Nancy Pierson, "Gummy" Fenton, Jo Guenzel and, frequent partner, Bruce Allen. Tom Nye, who is again visiting the campus on fur lough, escorted his usual coed, Kay Kinsey. Borden Portwood seems to have occupied a good share of "Hink" Aasen's time over the week end escorting her to the Pike Friday and again to the Sig Ep breakfast Saturday. Not much of a lull for Hink. Brothers, after quizzing Dick Fuller last Monday night, dis covered that he parted with his white star over the . week end. The proud owner of the symbol is none other tharj Shirley Nason cigars are in order, so they say. Hallowe'en Capers Hallowe'en was anything but dull when the caoers Kaonas found that letting air out of the tires of the cars of their three neighbors across the way, did not go unnoticed. The fellows collab orated and saw that the girls were properly showered for their trick. The Phi Delts apparently had no debt to repay other than the little boy coming out m them, when they carried away "Buck shot" Cain, Sandy Motter, Annis Gilmore and Ellie Swanson for a soaking. The Pi Phis had more than their share of trouble when they studied by candlelight due to the theft of their fuses. The Phi Gams were up to their old tricks of leaf distributing. Tak ing the opportunity to celebrate were Bill Korf and Marge Far rell and Ellie Lykke with Don Paper. Homecoming BY ELLIE SWANSON. Don't get me wrong ... I thought the Homecoming decora tions were sensational. I was just a little disappointed that some of my more original ideas didn't ap pear in front of some house. For example, why didn't some one think of having a live tiger tied to a tree and throw pledges dressed in scarlet and cream foot ball suits in to fight him? Of course, you would undoubtedly loose a few weaker pledges that way, but what good is a pledge if he can't outfight a tiger? Perhaps you think that this idea is a bit extreme . . . well, re lax! I have another. You would have thought that someone would have had a live pledge tied up and throw tigers dressed in gold and black football suits in to fight them? I'll admit that the ideas are a bit similar, but a good basic creation like this just can't be overdone. For Those Dissenters. In every large group there arc always a few people with little or no imagination. For the few dissenters I suggest a big sign: "Let's Beat Missouri!" Well, enough about my ideas. At least you can never say nxt year that someone didn't give you some good ideas that have never been used. . Perhaps you've won dered what goes on behind the scenes before the monstrosity ap pears in public. Naturally someone has To get in the mood of the thing. There fore, the pledge class is lined up on the roof (3 stories preferably) and instructed to leap to the lawn in alphabetical order. The one that best survives the fall is au tomatically the one for the mood. Behind the Scenes. There are - different methods used at this point, but a popular plan used by many houses to bring out the worst in its guinea pig is a concoction whose name and recipe cannot be divulged in this paper. It is, however, very similar to Mama Yokum's cele brated product, and may be used for bunions, crossed eyes,, hang nails, dirty hair, and is extremely effective in waking up actives for 8 o'clocks. As soon as it stops perculating and the sky within a few blocks radius has cleared up, it is ap plied to the pledge. Several whiffs serve perfectly as a muffler (viol ence, you know) and one or two more and she gives way com pletely to a drone buss . . . then comes the wee small voice. "Yes, master, what is your bidding?" "Think of a clever idea for a homecoming decoration, stupid." ' Next follows a gurgle, a babble, a burp, and the decoration idea. Maybe some of you don't be lieve what I've just said. It could be possible that I have Leen car ried away by the hilarity of the celebrations, and also, that con coction I just mentioned is a little hard on one. Claude Rutherford reportedly has been dating a girl named Ros alie, however, her exact identity is a big mystery. A twosome which is picking up momentum rapidly is that of Mickey Weldin and Pat Mack. After meeting last week end at an hour dance, they have been seeing each other regularly, and Friday night they enjoyed them selves at Kings. A steady couple faring smoothly, until now un mentioned is Bill Blythe and Phyllis FGriswold.
