maid dreams of being a famous
artist, a career girl goes in for

boogie number, and the girl in
love floats in a dream world. The

Little Man
Takes Man
BY FRANK JACOBS.
All eyes were focused on the
overall-clad laborer. He had tried
to remove a brightly-painted skull
and cross-bones from in front of
the Union. He shook his head and
muttered:
"It's pretty good paint."
This writer, always on the
search for feature, material had
noticed the toiler in his perspiring
endeavors and was watching him
carefully. After all, this was an
other phase of Clean-up, Paint
up, Fix-up Week.
THE WORKER had quite a
technique. First he would saturate
the sign and about forty square
feet around it with gasoline. Then,
standing away at a safe distance,
he would deftly flip a blazing
match onto the awaiting liquid. As
the flames died down he would
pick up his metal scraper and at
tempt to remove the weakened
paint. The final step included the
rubbing-out process with a section
of gunny-sack.
If this complicated process didn't
work the first time, the begrimed
laborer would pick up his con
venient gasoline can and start the
process all over again.
Sensing the great potential news
value in such goings on, this re
porter was quick to grasp the
opportunity for an interview.
When asked if removal was dif
ficult, the laborer answered, "It's

made at Kings ballroom, Friday, April 29. Honorable mention
went to Fig Flagg, Alpha Tau Omega, and Bob Ackcrmnn, Delta

a committee composed of faculty members and coeds.

VA Announces
Speedier Service
Veterans who plan to apply in
person for benefits from the Vet
erans administration will have
their claims handled more quickly
if they bring along their service
discharge papers.
Ashley Westmoreland, Lincoln
regional office manager, said cer
tified or photostatic copies of dis
charges will be sufficient evidence
in applying for all benefits except
GI loans, which require presenta
tion of the original service separa
tion certificate.
He pointed out that discharge
papers would prove especially
helpfut-when a veteran is apply

cases the data contained in the
papers will eliminate time-consuming
search of records to estab
lish the veteran's eligibility for
benefits.

deeper the paint goes. Now over
at Ellen Smith, I worked twenty
minutes and it didn't do no good.'
As to the method of applica
tion, he mused, "Looks like a
brush to me. Yep, must have been
a brush 'cept these letters above
the skull. They were probably
stenciled."
HE THEN EXPLAINED how he
had been hired to work on his
"spring project" all over campus.
It took him an average of twenty
minutes for each sign.
When asked, "Doesn't that take
quite a while?" he snapped, "Hell,
at a dollar-ten an hour, who
cares!"
He had some irouble with many
of the emblems. Several "just
wouldn't come out!" That led to a
question about the paint, where
upon he laid his scraper and can
of gasoline aside, raised himself to
a crouching position, blinked a
few times and wearily shook his
head as he admitted:
"It's pretty good paint."
