' It isn't spring, but I have a
fever anyhow. 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! - ' ';

Faculty Plans
Third. Recital
For Today
Three men from the school of
music faculty will appear Sunday
in the third of the faculty recital
series at 4 p. m. in the Union
ballroom. Offering a 'program of
vocal and instrumental jnusic,
they are violinist Emanuel Wish-
now, baritone David Foltz and
pianist John Blyth. Earnest Har
rison will accompany Mr. Foltz
and Mr. Wishnow.
Program.
Opening the program with four
violin selections, Mr. Wishnow
will place his emphasis on the
moderns including Gershwin,
Ernest Bloch and Ravel. He will
play one of Gershwin's piano pre
ludes transcribed for violin by
Jascha Heifetz.
Among Mr. Foltz' numbers are
Beethoven's "In Questa Tomba,"
an oratorio aria from Haydn's
"The Creation," and two less
familiar songs by Olmstead and
Yon.
A group of three piano num
bers by Mr. Blyth will close the
program. Debussy's descriptive
piece about goldfish, "Poisson
d'or," Mozart's "C Minor Fana
tasy" and Marescotti's "Fantas
que" compromise the group.
v
As usual, the faculty recital is
open to the general public and is
free of charge. Members of Phi
Mu Alpha-Sinf oiiia will usher.
Randolph Scott wil play the
male lead in the next Pine
Thdmas film, "Albuqurque."

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.
