ald, publicity chairman.
Tour Importance Stressed
She added that the Mortar
Boards, in considering their
purposes of service, leader
ship and scholarship, feel that
the tour is important since in
ternational students will carry
their impressions of America
back to their own countries
"We want them to have
good impressions," said Miss
McDonald, "and we feel that
the Midwest is most repre
sentative of America.
All foreign students may ap

tour.
Last year some 40 interna
tional students and several
Mortar Boards and faculty

complain of the lack of so
cial life for them at the Uni
versity. "If students return to
their own countries without
a knowledge of how the
people live, they are getting
only half an education," he
commented. "Instead of re
turning as Americans'
friends, they will go back
jealous."
He also ' commented on
the need for studying more
foreign languages in the
United. States.

orful campuses in the

termed "a bit sloppy".
"Some students wouldn't "
be allowed in a clasroom
in England wearing those
jeans and T-shirts."

Russia Described
"Russia is a dull, drab,
dreary, dismal place", he
said. "But young Ameri

about world affairs. A young

First Time
This year marks' the first
time that the Honorary Com
mandant is selected before the
three service queens are an
nounced. L&st year sne was
voted on from Miss Army,
Miss Navy and Miss Air
Force.
These three girls were an
nounced before voting was
held. The 1957 Honorary Com
mandant was Reba Kinne.
Two years ago, girls might
file for the title, rather than
being submitted by their
houses. Four girls were then
selected from the interviews
and voted on by all cadets In
ROTC. The top girl was pro
nounced the Honorary Com
mandant, while the other
three were named Miss Army,
Miss Air Force and Miss
Navy.
Last year and this year are
the first times that the Hon
orary Commandant is select
ed by a vote of all students
holding a ticket to the Mili
tary Ball. In past years, only
ROTC cadets were permitted
to vole. ,
Formal Season
"The Honorary Comman
dant reigns over the opening
of the formal social season,"
Dick Basoco, Navy represen
tative on the publicity com
mittee," said. "As such she
should be the girl that the stu

represent them.
"The only way that this can
be done is for the students
themselves to make sure
they have done their part by
voting."
Tickets for the Military Ball
are $3.50 a couple. Spectator
tickets are $1 a person. They

German Club
Meeting Set
Stream of Consciousness
Scrambled Symbols,
Jerky Jottings . . . Notes
"B. Frank. 1st in p.o. diest, phiL inv. many. $ "
The above pithy statement is not the secret code of a
counterspy. It represents a concise life of Benjamin Frank
lin as written by a busy English major.
"The teacher talked so fast I couldn't remember what
he was saying," she moaned.
"I don't even now what it means."
Neither did the reporter.
Frenzied Jotting
Notetaking, supposedly a stream of conscious thought,
often turns into a trickle of unconscious, questionable
symbols, jotted down in a frenzy.
Some frequent, expedient symbols found in many note
books are: imp, Important; bid, individual; B4, before; dif,
different, difficult, diffuse (take your pick).
Curled lines, arrows, or stars under or around certain
words indicate importance. Any combination of these
means "wow!"
Jokes Liked
Some of the more conscientious students star or make
extra note of professors' jokes or, things they1 seemed to
like.
One fellow's notebook of neatly written pages was inter
spersed with pages of scrawls, sketches, and the personal
notch, "let's elope" and "I'm neat!"
A preface to a junior girls Bacteriology section was
the order: "Study Bact. Every Day or You'll Flunk It!"
If by chance these abbreviations and special methods
used by other students don't fit your personality, take 'the
path beaten by one 7 student: "Don't take notes!"
