The Eyes
Have It
Bv Jeanne Kerrigan
The eyes haven't had much
this week ... in fact all they've
noticed has been the half hearted
attempt of student to get to
classes amid all the homecoming
rally, rally rally. . . .
Norm Leger is evidently so
worn out with all the week's aC'
tivities that he can't control his
speech without a great deal of
tongue twisting ... on second
thought, YOU try to talk about
facial muscles" without getting
a bit mixed up
I know the time for talking
about muddled freshmen is. or
should be past by this time of the
year, but when a girl comes
over to the Union looking for the
University Club. . .

Startled out of a reverie of
some sort of Mr. Lawrence's news
editing class one night. Bob Jef
fries in answering a query about
Princess Elizabeth replied that
she was marrying Lord Mountbat
ten . . . imagine Mrs. Mount-
batten would enjoy that. . ,
Then there was the girl who,
after daydreaming in class, was
madly copying her neighbors
notes which ran something like
this "Althought printing ex
penses in that period were not in
creased, the newspapers were
slowed down because of the al
most doubled cost of construction
of an outhouse" . . . our friend
promptly retired behind her books
in utter confusion.
Comment overheard enroute
from the question hour held in
the Union ballroom Friday after
noon by Dr. Kurt Schuschnigg
and made by an elderly Lincoln-
ite. . . "They ought to make Dr.
Schuschnigg a member of the his
tory department ... at least he
knows what ,he is talking about.
The reason why about 47 of

Student Directory.
Published by Student Foundation,
S.50.
This latest volume published by
Student Foundation house has the
distinction of already being re
ferred to as the ''Student's Home
Companion' and could well be
considered a must for the student
bookshelf.
Compiled exactingly from real
lif? situations and characters from
a typical university campus, the
book is a monument to statistical
accuracy, valuable information
and literary imagination on the j
part C'f its numerous co-authors.
Dramatic End.
Despite the wealth of names
End addresses which predominate
the central plot, the story moves
rapidly to a highly dramatic end
ing involving the identity of a
Student "Z"' who has not figured
previously in the tale..
Largely biographical, decidedly
historical, numerically descriptive,
not a little on the "whodunit" side
and most assuredly an excellent
basi for several compelling love
stories. "Student Directory" is a
moving epic of every-day college
life woven from a magnificent
panorama of student activities,
university "haunts," faculty mem
bers and .students, students, and
more students.
Best Seller.
A best-seller by virtue of its
size, readability, incomparable
style and utter beauty of composi
tion and organization, it is destined
to join the ranks of literary clas
sics, replace the World Almanac,
Dun and Bradstreet and Who's
Wlio.
If these accomplishments are
ret adequate, let it be predicted
that it will also sweep the category
of the "Ten Best on a Desert Is
land'' all-time all-timers in literature.
