By Bob McNiitt
The column today could well bo
entitled "The trials and tribula
tions of an Alpha Phi trying to
make her average" or "I may not
be the best dancer, but boy! how
1 can intermission." The reason
for this title is none other than
Sadie Hawkins. Sadie has caused
more heads to turn on this cam
pus than any other girl. A pledge
that was hard to control, she
taunted actives and boys alike.
She's a confirmed chain smoker,
can and does eat and drink prac
tically everything- in sight and
goes blithely on without gaining a
pound.
At one time she was considered
a monopoly of Alpha Tau Omega,
but she recently showed them the
Sherman Antitrust Law so is now
a free agent. For all this she is
a sweet girl who will go through
life continually surprised at the
crazy doings of other people. In
cidentally she recently received
her biggest surprise. She made
her average!
One of the most popular couples
on the campus passed the candy
and cigars Monday night. Nate
"Tubby" Holman of Sigma Nu,
dean of law college poker players;
and Betsy Wright of Alpha Chi
Omega, short change artist of the
Varsity Theatre, gave up the stog
ies and sweets with gusto.
Becky Gets Her Man.
Alifo Txinip Rerker after a
careful check of her busy schedule, !
decided that she had time to ac- j
ccpt Clifton "Flower" Bloom's
proposal to go steady. Ought to
be a good deal.
Joline Ackerman just looked up
from her coke to tell me that the
girls are being good and studying
hard over at the dorm. This
statement is more or less true,
but I believe it is given mostly in
self defense.
At the Alpha Thi party Friday
night will go such unusual couples
as John Rauermeister, Beta Sig,
with Lois Christie, and Emerson
Jones, Sig Chi with pretty, red
headed UeMari.s Morton, two Lin
coln people who have been seen
together quite often.
Ben Took Over.
Kappa transfer, Betty Giubb,
certainly didn't waste anv time
(with a southern accent why
should she? i waiting for the
phone to ring. Ben Clarke, Phi
Psi was taking up all her time
till he left for the army.
Larry Wentz, cagey Phi Gam
conversationalist is unofficially
credited with the top description
of the week. He was telling of one
of his numerous dates.
"We went for a long ride but
all she did was shake her head.
After sixty-three miles she told
me her nose was caught in the
windshield wiper."
Minus the Men.
Last night the Dorm girls re
ceived a preview of what to ex
pect in a war time college. They
held a party completely for girls.
No ordinary party, one half the
girls came dressed as boys, and
brought the other half as girl
friends. The gills brought boxes
with various types of valentines
while those coining as boys, bid
for the boxes in pennies. The to
tal amount of pennies bid will be
turned over to the War Scholar
ship Fund.
Oh yes; Anyone interested in at
tending the North High Military
Ball will please contact Lee White
at the SAM house immediately.
Poem for today is dedicated,
with my humble apologies to Ijois
Wright.
New Actor Enters
Bill Todd Has
Play . . .
Leading Role
In Uni Theatre's Thunder Rod
BY JANET MASON.
A swift rise in the theater
world brought Bill Todd, slightly
dazed but none the worse for
wear, into the lead of the Univer
sity Theater's next major produc
tion. "Thunder Rock."
Bill made his debut in the last
production "Arsenic and Old Lace"
wnicn was nis
first appear
ance on the
Universit y
stage. In the
part of Morti
mer Brewster,
Bill appeared
as the only
sane member
of the Brew
ster household
and his surprise
and agitation
at the discov
ery of his sweet
old a u n t's
tea c h e r y de-
lighted the audience and caused
many a side-ache from laughter.
Todd's rise was made more
spectacular by the fact that he has
had no technical dramatic train
ing either in or outside of the
school, as have most of the Uni
versity Theatre Players. His ex
perience has come solely from
participation in high school plays.
Tn "Thunder Rock" Bill plays the
part of Charleston, the lighthouse
keeper. Charleston was once a
newspaper man who became so
disgusted with the state of world
affairs that he quit his job and
tried to find escape from the
world's troubles by living as a
hermit keeping a lighthouse on
Thunder Rock.

Wheirver American soldiers ride into hattl in

radio telephone sots. So do pilots of Army bombers
and fighting planes and the commanders of the

The Signal Corps needs great quantities of field
telephones, wire and switchboards to get the me?.,
sage through. Aboard large naval vessels are battle
announcing systems and sea-going telephones.
