Coeds Borrow Endlessly
. . . y&UA (Rjoum (Dohm
By Barbara Kiechel.
"Who's got a pair of red shoes?"
This querie, or a reasonable
facsimile, is a standard outlet for
potential lung energy around "the
dorm." Borrowing is as much a
part of college life as the irritating
alarm clock or the well-meaning
but rarely appreciated chem text.
However successful you were at
home in guarding your anklets and
hairpins from the kid sister s pry
ing hands, you've got to face it
it can't go on!
One of the first things you learn
after you give up your independ
ence and privacy and start receiv
ing letters addressed 540 North
16th Street is that you have no
right to call anything your ver
own.
Probably the besf method to fol
low, when you feel desirous of ac
quiring some article you are not
fortunate (?) enough to possess
yourself, is to follow these direc
tions: go to the end of the hall,
brace yourself sjainst the wall
or any other sul5sfantial medium
that happens to be available, open
your mouth and YELL. Put all
you've got back of the shout, be
cause, of course, every room on
the floor will be Interested in
hearing of your needs.
One Yell, Two Floors.
By ascending the landing be
tween floors you can notify two
floors at once, and some richly en
dowed individuals have the dis
tinction of making themselves
heard all over the building. An
other effective plan, if the first
fails to produce gratifying re
sults, is to gallop noisily up and
down the halls, chanting the article
in question in a loud, monotonous
tone. Of course neither of these
practices is indulged in during
quiet hours, (it says here.)
The variety of borrows ble items
Is unlimited. Anything from the
boy friend's latest picture to your
prized silver fox jacket is subject
to demand. Jewelry, magazines,
hair ribbons, ashtrays become pub
lic property by the end of the
first six week's, you can't remem
ber which originally belonged to
you, and which Mary Smith, over
in Raymond, brought along with
her.
Gain Confidence, f
Some girls are bashful at first;
I knew one whose voice actually
quavered when she stumbled into
my room in September to borrow
a match. Today the same woman
marched in and announced that
she was wearing my brown hat for
a dinner date tonight. It's a daily
occurrence when some strange
lass walks into the room and asks
to borrow your-well, practically
anything you own.
Not that they always bother to
ask. Seeing a remote acquaintance
at a party one night, I commented
that I approved of her sweater,
since I had one almost like it. She
glanced distastefully at me and
didn't bother to reply. A careful
scan of my bureau drawer at home
revealed that JJie sweater not only
resembled mine, it was mine! And
I couldn't judge too harshly; she'd
probably forgotten from whom she
had borrowed it.
This regular turnover in wear
ing apparel can sometimes prove
embarrassing. One soldier's dream
girl looked simply ravishing in her
distinctive blue date dress. He
vowed never to forget her and al
ways to associate that particular
Rhade of blue with her and their
dates. Came the bust-up, and the
soldier, after spending six loneiy
nifrhfs in the field house reconcil
ing himself, decided to date that
cute blonde he saw coming out of
sosh. He called lor ner inai nigm,
readv to eo out and have a good
time, all men. ries of last week's
romance gone. The door opened,
and Blondie appeared, resplendent
and smiling in tne same oiue uress.

What if your best black formal
does come back splattered with
coke" stains what if your room
mate does lose the set out of your
diamond ring? Material things
such as these are little enough to
sacrifice for the sake of a beau
tiful friendship. Besides, that girl
down the hall has a jacket that
would look simply stunning with
that skirt I borrowed three weeks
ago from what's her name.
