Having "the boys" back in
school is great! Somehow, ethics
and policies seem twice as inter
esting when there are a row or so
ol males lending their presence,
too . . seven if seven-eighths of
them do wear the final golden
band, and the other one-eighth
' sneer every time you direct a
wistful wink their way.
But, the increased enrollment
has involved complications. We
didn't realize, last semester, how
simple the first week of the term
was. We simply took our schedule
in hand and strolled into the room
designated beside the course, just
in time to have the prof throw a
fifty-page syllabus in our face. It
was as easy as that everything
organized, no confusion. But that
was when the classes were small
enough to fit into the rooms as
signed them three or four hun
dred more students than the
teachers expected didn't show up
each hour.
Variety at Last.
Last week was a little different.
Having been warned that our
philosophy class would probably
include a few "eligible bachelors"
(a species we'd branded long ago
as extinct), we put on our best
black dress, pinned a rose behind
our ear, and set out. Everything
was timed perfectly; we d arrive I
at Room 209, Social Science, about
lour minutes late, and make a tre
mendously effective entrance.
We paused outside the door to
take care of a few last minute
details combing our eyelashes, i

and pouring a little more per
fume out of the hip flask we'd
converted for that purpose, on our
notebooks, to entice the veterans
as we glided by. When we were
satisfied that we looked as ravish
ing as possible, we threw open the
door.
We got half-way across the
room (using that Lauren Bacall
gait we'd been practicing), before
we realized that the room was
empty. We didn't notice the note
on the blackboard until after we'd
frantically checked our schedule
and the room number. We prob
ably wouldn't have then, if we
hadn t started beating our head
against the board in a rage of
fury. "Philos. 580 will meet in
Morrill Hall Auditorium," it said.
Blooming: Bases.
We put the rose back behind
our ear, grabbed the reeking note
books, flew out the door, slid
down the bannister, and zoomed
out of the building. We got stuck
in the mud twice crossing the
mall, but a kindly math professor
out for a morning stroll with a
big black pipe, threw us a rope,
We reached Morrill Hall with ris
ing spirits, and mud up to our
knees.
Walking nonchalantly through
the basement, we tossed a few
peanuts to the ferocious-looking
animals leering out through the
cages. We were finally convincing
ourselves that this musty building
aidn t give us the creeps anymore,
when the panther jumped off his
shelf and started chasing us. We
ran blindly to the auditorium
door, but it was locked, and an
other sign confronted us. "Philos.
580 meets in Law 106." We
looked around for the panther's
furry shoulder to cry upon, but he
had become bored and was sitting
in his cage again, picking his
teeth.
Stumbling out of Morrill Hall.
we hailed a youngster playing on
the sidewalk, and traded our
wristwatch for his roller skates.
We bumped into University Hall
on the way to Law, and knocked
off one of the chimneys, but we
made it!
Befuddlemcnt.
What happened after that isn
very clear. All we remember is a
long series of gleaming white
notes and helpful blackboard no
tations. We went from Law to
Teachers, from Teachers to Bes
sey, from Bessey to Mechanical
Arts, and then back to Sosh. Only

We didn't find the class until five-
thirty that night, when we
stumbled into Don's, to fortify
ourselves with a trallon of black
coffee, and discovered the rest of
the bewildered students under tne
table.
We decided to give up the
search for the dav. but we did
devise a rather ingenious plan to
follow for the rest of the semes
ter. We simply congregate fifteen
minutes before class, behind the
teacher's office door. When he

we follow him. Not wanting to be
too obvious, whenever he hears
our footsteps and whirls around,
w nil erab the nearest water
fountain, or become engrossed in
any handy bulletin board. Or, if
he leads us outside, we hide be

fashion. We heard the other day
that the poor fellow has come to
the conclusion that his wife has
hired a squad of G-men to shadow
him.
