Now that the campus is bitten hard with spring fever, and the boys exhibiting that glint in their eyes, it behooves us females to take stock and see what's what This little analysis may take the form of a sorority truth session, or a referring to the archives of Miss Piper's Charrn School, or even a quiet evening with, say, a Delt. All these approaches to the prob lem have their points. But Dr. lleyer recommends a ten cent tome on "How to Get your Man and Hold Him." This volume, a treasured Easter gift, has already proven its sensational value. During the dime store strike In Detroit, "Life" pictured the attractive slt-downers Improving their time with a perusal thereof, and also showed the faithful males at tendant to the tipped-off gals. Wherever we have displayed the book, girls have grabbed for it Alice Soukup read it under Lyndle Stout's very nose one evening. So we dare to observe that it is effective as to pre cepts. And How to Do It. A few of the more sprightly and pertinent bits of advice set forth by the authoress "G. M." in clude. ' Blind dates "As for the eve ning's program, unless it has been decided upon in advance, try to stall for time until you have had an opportunity to size him up. If your intuition tells you right off that he is going to be an awful bore, suggest the movies. At least you may be able to enjoy the show." Petting "With the coming of central heating the technioal as pects of bundling underwent con siderable change, though the mo tivation remained the same. Dur ing the hammock and horse-and-buggy era it was known as spooning. Then it became neck ing and at last petting. But call It bundling or call it petting, it v still comes under the heading 'The Pursuit of Happiness.'" More of the same "To strike a balance between responsive ness and evasiveness is the smooth trick, but this requires both skill and dexterity. (A knowledge of jujutsu also helps.)" Yet again ditto "When all is said and done, discretion is what counts. And the best time to cry ov?r spilled milk is before you spill It." Only With Thine Eyes. On imbibing "Unless you are sure of your man, you had better avoid the 'entrancing chansonette' setting. It sounds like a good idea .set to music but in actual prac tice it is likely to lead to compli cations and to headaches that aren't worth the aspirin." In the same vein "If you're the type who gpts to feeling kittenish hbout the third cocktail, try to curb your desire to shoot seltzer water at the man who has been flirting with you. You might hit an innocent bystander. And even though your escort might bear the name of Murphy or O'Leary, he might not relish defending your contention that it was all in the spirit of good clean fun." Also cocktails "Don't take too seriously anything a man says or promises when he is slightly plastered. Seen through an alcoholic fog, you may be come a cross between Mona Liza and Jean Harlow with a dash of Shirley Temple, but if he waxes poetic and tells you that you are his dream girl, don't start planning your trousseau." On the holding deal "If you want to hold your man, don't let yourself be too much of an open book. Keep a few uncut pages. They may be blank, of course, but he doesn't need know that." And that, my dears, is pretty much that. Pitfalls of Worldiness. Herb Yenne thinks the follow ing statement from Dallman's "Art of Play Production" particu larly a propos of columns: "Bad art is generally a product of in sincerity, and insincerity flourishes best In sophisticated civilization." Which may or may not have omethlng to do with Chico's con tention in "Seventh Heaven;" "I am a very remarkable fellow." ; GEOLOGY CLUB INITIATES 5 Sigma Gamma Epsilon Picks Men for Membership.

POLITICIAN WHO SMEARS WALKS GETS AH RESTED Who was the Ivy Day orator candidate backed this year by TNE and their skull and cross bones insignia? What sigificancc attaches to this nocturnal side walk application of the skull and cross bones which displaces the orthodox campaign cigars and soap box orations? What prom inent member of the organization found his political zeal resulting in a flight thru the night pursued by what he describes as hordes of blue coats? inc story is abroad that one of the advocates of the "spirit ual" life, imbued with the spirit of campaign enthusiasm wended his uncertain and paint daubing way inadvertently in the direction of the police station. Officers on duty, ever alert for unwary victims, seized him and placed him within an assembly room at the station. Aroused to righteous indignation against this untimely repression, the encaged campaigner opened the screen, crawled out, and hailed a passing taxi-cab. hereupon, the hordes of blue coats came into the picture. Snatching their badges and billy clubs enroute, they dashed in wild pursuit in his own words, "came charging after, 27 strong." The ensuing night in a cell with a one armed cell mate com plete the hetic and harrowing ex perience of one campaign enthu siast to whom henceforth political dark horses will signify only night mares, and skulls and cross bones i only revived skeletons emerging from the closet.
