Yeah, So-WIiat . . .
Once upon a time there was a, University panacea. It
prevented headaches, lagging spirits, broken hearts and
best of all, made serious thinking unnecessary. Naturally,
it became popular and was widely used.
It was so good that its use spread rapidly, ven though
It hadn't the advantage of newspaper and radio advertising.
Soon most of the people of the world were using it, and
in ever increasing -quantities.
There was nothing to buy, no pills, no treatment
just the word 'So-wut." Whenever anything was unpleas-
ant to think about, folks would "So-what," and then they
could auit worrying. When something went wrong, "So-
what." If they didn't like the way their government was
run, "So-what."
The worst thing about "so-what" was its habit form
ing tendencies. After the first few uses, most folks refused
to live without it. It became a part of their lives.
Our civil liberties are in -danger. "'So-what."
The H-bomb might destroy the world. ""So-what."
We fase a third world war, "So-what," why do people
worry about such things?"
Neither self-preservation nor love of freedom could
affect their attitude. Brotherly love didn t have a chance.
As for an editorial . . , 'Teah, So-what?" Reprinted
from the Kansas State Collegian.
Dateless Coeds,
1950 Television
By Jerry Bailey
If University coeds are date
less these evenings, and if cer
tain males show up with risible
symptoms of headache and eye
strain the boys aren't hitting the
books harder.
It just means that the many
men from the University's resi
dence halls lor young gentlemen
are finding television more en
tertaining than an evening spent
in local bistros or the parlors of
540 No. 16th.
In brief, the Men's dorm now
"has a television set.
Whoever thought up the Idea
first did not leave his name on
the record book. Chances are
that the idea was born sometime
last -year. By the time Indian
summer, 1950, rolled around the
topic -was mentioned, frequently
as the boys gatheredtaround the
Coke machine for a stiff drink.
All In Favor
When the dorm elections were
over and -delegates from each
floor of the three dorm build

clave, each and every delegate
indicated that his constituency

favored the idea.
The council member who
talked loudest about television
suddenly found himself with a
job. He was assigned to start
pricing TV sets about town.
Even before the set "was pur
chased, one eager-beaver dorm
council member plastered Dorm
C with -stickers and signs her
alding the arrival of the expect
ed set.
The set finally arrived a few
days before the Iowa State game.
It turned out to be ''a cabinet
model with a 16-inch screen. The
question was now, where to put
it?
Dorm B Lounge
Spot selected for the TV arena
was the Dorm B lounge. Willing
workers mounted the TV set on
a handy table, shoved it into a
corner and reached for the near
est easy chair. Sofas, chairs and
even tables were laid out in
rough semi-circles to serve as
bleachers.
And now, from afternoon un
til 'midnight, dorm residents in
shifts -watch while Howdy
Doody, beefy wrestlers and as
sorted other characters flicker
and flare before their eyes. Most
popular spot seems to be

Headache for Janitor
As any evening at the dorm
passes, watchers come and go.
Hundreds of cigaret butts are
flipped into an empty fireplace
nearby. The welcome sandwich
man brings the loungers their
supper. Crumpled sacks and
candy-bar wrappers pile up to
await the janitor.
Outside of the dorm, a pass
ing boy halts and presses his face
to the window.
And on across the street,
lonely girls wonder why their
men aren't calling number
2-7371.
That's television.
