To the Editor:
This is an open letter to the
WOMEN:
At last the women in their
Fashion edition have led with
their chins. Women, the necessary
evil, have at last given us a
chance to slap them flatter than
a gendarme's instep! For years
we have been waiting for this
eort of a chance to really pour it
on; and now, now, we have been
given the opening.
First, by what sacred right do
the women pan our suits with
padded shoulders? A little decep
tion drives them to slander when
they have been deceiving us for
years wi'h girdles! They howl to
the high heavens about our neck
ties, but what do they invariably
give us for Christmas?
Color, long the plaything of the
fairer sex, has at last found its
true expression in the name of
men's haberdashery, and what
happens? They yell bloody mur
der. Why? Because it is a worn-
en'S nature to be jealous; they
fear that men Will exCCll them in
dreSS as in everything else.
Better loud SOX than none at
all! Silk hose during the week are
abOUt as rare as Sweat Shirts at
the Military BalL But, probably
there will be a lot of "Sloppy
Joe" sweaters there this year!
Women should talk about shoes.
What has become of the high
heeled shoe that showed female
limbs to such a good advantage?
And some of us still remember the
old days before spoons replaced
Vim olitc tr
' ' , . ....

the adorning masculine chapeaux
that is the end: Doesnt the rest
go without saying? The only time j
that anyone can really tell if a
woman is a woman on this cam
pus is on week-ends, and then we
hold our breaths as we call for
dates.

To the Editor:
Recently a STUDENT attacked
the Student Union in regard to its
prices for food. I wish to chal
lenge this opinion.
In the first place, has a STU
DENT really compared the quality
of food in his restaurant with that
of the Student Union? I believe
that he would find that a better
quality of food is used at the
Union. The Union endeavors to
give the student as good food as
he has at home. At what other
establishment can one find such a
well-balanced meal as at the
Union?
Then the sanitary standards of
the Union are high. Can a STU
DENT be sure that his food is
prepared under the best of sani
tary conditions at his other restau
rant? Then the help are well paid
at the Union, a thing which is
probably not the case at other
that such an establishment as the
Union should pay its help suffi
clently. By the time the salaries
are paid and all necessary repairs
are taken into account, I don t be
lieve ine union is making any
profit.
This all brings us to the ques
tion as to whether the standards
of the Union should be lowered
To be sure, the Union can prob
ably be put on a cheaper basis,
But do we want that?

To the Editor:
While we're on the subject of
food prices in the Union, why not
do a little griping on the price of
ciragcttes. raying 15 cents for a
single package of regular brands
Is okay, but 15 cents straight
when a guy buys two of them is
outrageous when you can get

With retailers roping in about
10 per cent profit selling them
two for a quarter, the Union drags
in over 20 percent profit on the
standard brands. Kids smoke
plenty of cigarettes here, and
would just as soon buy them in
the grill if they weren't so expen-
sive when they buy two packages.
When you smoke a package a
day or nearly eight a week, the

Mechanical Love
I'm quite convinced that this
is truly the mechanical age. Made
"mechanic.il love" last night and
the conversation ran something
like this:
Me: "Ha! The moon is like an
incandescent lamp shining through
opalescent glass to cast a fiery
beam upon your spun glass hair."
She: "Yes, and your voice. It
sounds as might the 100 h. p. en
gine when two of the horses were
left in the stable."
Me: "Dckively one, your
eyes .
She: "Yes?"
Me: (Feverently) "They are
like two immense ball bearinps
floating in huge puddles of lubri
cating oil."
She: "You shock me as would
the empty light socket if I were to
thrust my tongue into it."
Me: (More feverently) "You
leave me breathless and gasping
gasping as does the carburetor
when it is flooded with explosive
fuel."
She: (Playing hard to get)
"Yes, and now, more than gentle
zephers do blow over your mea
dow, wnat giant propeller doth
stir t m?"
Me: "J -ave yon meadow to the
meadow ks. Tempus is fugiting
and the ceting minutes become
as precious as the droplets of gas
in the near empty tank."
She: "Then how come thou
hath not applied the clutch?"
Me: (Once again fervent and
applying the clutch) "And now,
sweet one, let my lips, lips like
two cold pieces of steel, come into
contact with the fire of your lips
and have such a contact exist un
til the cold steel of mine runs
molten as in the smelters."
She: (After things become mol
ten) "My heart is pounding like
a loose piston and with mercurial
speed yet I find myself as weak
as a two volt current, "
Me: (Even more fervent)
"Without you, I am no better than
the vacuum sweeper without the
vacuum."
She: "Aren't we getting too
serious?"
Me: (Too fervent) Yes, but
we started this thing together and
together we must finish."
She evidently didn't agree for
sne put on the emergency brake
right there. But you see what I'm
getting at. It's a great technique
wiui great possiDiiiUes.

Apology for Pitchin' Paul
The Kansas City Star is some
what nettled at the type of verbi
age which "Pitchin' Faul" Christ
man inspired among New York
sports writers. The paper com
ments mat uie Gotham scribes
"might have done a little better
by our Faul than to call him
'Football's Dizzy Dean."
I he Missouri paper tells its
readers not to take this term too
seriously and goes on to explain
that whenever a celebrity hits
New York the writers there go
into a huddle and decide on a nick
name for him. "Once it is agreed
upon, half the battle is over," the
aiar explains.
In an epic paragraph, the news
paper concludes: "After all.
Christ man's greatness, it seems to
ye tA, is not more in his pitchin'
snd his loquacity than in his
poise. The only poise we've seen
to compare with it, outside of
Creek sculpture, was when John
L'rew used to look over the foot
lights and count the house. And
until the New York boys find a
name for Faul that takes in this
characteristic, they haven't dune
ngnt ry mm."
Although the paper doesn't
mention it, it might be better to
reserve judgment on Christ man's
greatness until after the Okla
homa game. And as for his
"poise," well -poise will be poise,
