The modest soldier who starts talking to you about basic training-.
Watch out. He has one theme, as you'll soon find out "My basic
was tougher than yours, so there." We
haven't yet been able to find much dif
ference between the infantry and artil
lery as far as the ruggedness of the
trainng goes, or any other branch for
that matter of course there may be
some.
Perhaps the most interesting thing
that every outfit has is the creature
who enchants beautiful young damsels
with his smooth chatter and self-as
sured manner. He is sometimes known
as a "wolf." There are many different types northern, southern,
eastern, and western with variations. The bewildered kind are inter-,
esting. They don't quite know what there is to do around so thejr
ask a pretty coed. They could probably get even better information
from some male undergrad, but what would be the point? Under
neath that naive exterior there's an ulterior motive hmmm.
The kind that really get the women are the handsome, silent
ones. They stand around the sidelines at dances, looking over all of
the girls, but never even cut in. Sooner
or later they arouse the curiosity of the
coed and sometimes get results. (This
on authorative information from a con
fidential source.)
The conclusions to be drawn from a
discussion of this sort are many and
varied. Some wolves are easy to spot,
and the girls delight in upsetting their
plans. Others are more subtle and often
get results. The ones who fascinate us are the fellows who alwavs
have a girl on a string. (Though not for long.) When you come right
down to it wolfing is a profitable enterprise only as long as the sheep
continue to play not so hard to get.
The breezy G. I. (the I. is for pretty girls) who's stock saluta
tion is "Hello, beautiful, what's new on the rialto?" (that's to show
his literary background Shakespeare)
is an intriguing phenomenon of contem.
porary times. His strategy is to get a
girl so mixed up with a flow of amus
ing anecdotes, liberally sprinkled with
the first person singular, that she says
yes to something, and then finds that
she has committed herself to a date
Saturday night. He seldom takes no for
an answer unless it is punctuated with
a slap.
Then there are the wolves who don t
have, the strength of their convictions. They walk down the street
and whistle at the pretty girls, and tell the boys about the line that
used to catch all of the girls back in Gopher Prairie; but when ac
tually face to face with a girl, come up with something masterful
like, "Uh nee day. isn't it?'
