Students on the Indiana uni
versity campus place more long
distance calls on Thursday eve
nings than at any other time dur
ing the week. The ca.lls, all placed
within an hour or so, swamp the
company's switchboard, to the ex
tent that operators report that
they can tell Thursday without
looking at the calendar. The tele
phone company, since it doesn't
listen in on the calls, of course,
has no explanation to offer for
the Thursday rush, but some of
the students explain the situation
very well. Thursday night is a
good night, they say, to call home
to request funds for the weekend,
or to report to their parents that
they will spend the weekend at
home.
The number of parents now at
tending Iowa State has passed
the 1,000 mark. Most of the fatb
its and mothers who. are going to
school are veterans, and many of
them live in special college hous
ing areas. One of these areas,
Tammcl Court, includes in its
population over 280 children,
This does not includes children
of students who live in trailers,
near the area, or the second or
third child in families with more
than one child. According to the
assistant director of Pammel
Court, there are 1,246 students n
the waiting list for veteran nous
ing, and of this number, 463 have
children. Recreation for the chil
dren is provided in the court. The
Daily Iowan speculates as to how
many children, in 20 years from
now, will be back 'midst the
scenes of their childhood going
10 college.
The scholastic average at Syra
cuse university has increased but
some students on the campus have
aoutts as to what cause i the in
crease. One student, in a letter
to the editor, makes the accusa
tion that students are openly
passing tests by unfair means and
not by hard study. He further
states that the majority of pro
fessors know what is going on
during tests. '-Before we do any
more cheering about the increase
in the all-university scholastic av
erage," the letter suggests, "let's
consider the point that this in
crease may be due to bigger and
better schemers, not scholars!"
Nonchalant Attitude Prevails
As Wee People Invade Crib
BY ELLIE SWANSON
There 1 was minding my own
business . . . reading a letter the
girl across from me in the rib
was reading from her true love.
The part c. the letter which espe
cially amazed me was that he saw
her every day, but he felt that he
couldn't express his deeper
thoughts unless he wrote them to
her
As I was saying, however, there
I was -minding my own business
&uaaeniy, lor no apparent reason
wnatsoevcr, i had to raise my
voice irom a medium shout to a
forceful scream in order to make
myself heard. The crib was in
vaded by wee people.
Who Are They?
Who were these wee folk, yeu
ask? The Music Clinic is in town
and the high school students are
getting their first glimpse of the
big university. Feeling that it was
my responsibility to duly impress
them, I took it upon myself to ap
proach a typical looking lad and
give him the opportunity of con
ferring with a real college girl.
"What do you think of the uni
versity, little boy?" I asked, pat
ting his fuzzy head. Peering meek
ly around with his big brown eyes,
he stammered, "Sloppy looking
campus." "What especially im
presses you about the it.xol?" I
continued, ignoring his blasphemy.
"The students are so indifferent to
me," he sighed, lowering his long
lashes slowly. "Don't let that
worry you," I encouraged him,
"they'll love you when they get
to know you."
Timid Reply.
ai tnis point i looked at my
watch and remembered a previous
engagement with my laundry
man. "I've got to go now, sonny.
By the way, what's your name?"
"Dake Novotny," he answered al
most timidly. "Well, good luck to
you, and I know you'll make some
thing of yourself some day."
I strolled off casually wonder
ing why that name struck such a

my mind. i

bustling crowd, fought for approx
imately ten minutes and ended up
head first in a bass horn. Well,
that's life ... do a good turn for
someone and you'll probably end
up getting the lowest blow.

nard have been appointed news

46 Freshmen
Like All Others
Still Confused
Since freshmen have been on
the campus for about two months
now, it's about time there is a
check-up to see if they really
"know"" the campus.
First of all, I think that the girl
who was inquiring last week
where the Phi Beta Kappa house
was should be straightened out.
She's been wondering why they
haven't asked her to -any rush
parties. They've kept it pretty
wen nidden, out there s a vague
rumor going around that thev
have an underground tunnel on
the corner of Sixteenth and Four
teenth streets (probably used to
be an air raid shelter.)
Misguided Boys.
Then there's the poor miseuided
boy who is thinking Quite serious
ly of pledging Innocents or TNE.
He hasn't made up his mind yet
which organization should receive
the benefit of his presence. Some
one ought to get him in a little
corner and give him a few instruc
tions. One little pledge, who goes with
a fraternity pledge, asked me
quite seriously one day how long
I thought she should go with the
boy before taking his pledge pin.
And she wanted to know why a
pledge couldn't borrow an active's
pin to hang on his girl until he
got initiated. Well, they have to
learn sometime.
Sneaking Out.
There are also those pledges
wno Know more than they are
supposed to and manage 'to have
week-night dates in spite of their
house-study hall rules. The first
step is the hardestwhen they
go meeiuy up to the hard-hearted
scholarship supervisor and stam
mer out their gigantic reasons for
"absolutely having to study in the
library tonight." Once out of the
house and away from glaring ae
tives, the procedure is Quite
simple. They trudge wearily into
the library, plunk their sixteen
reference books down on the table
in the farthest corner (where their
dates wait patiently) and put up
a great pretense of eagering away
ior a yy average while coyly mak
ing eyes over the encyclopedia
untannica.
In spite of the bewildered looks
and meek attitude of freshmen
and pledges, I'm afraid they know

in matters of politics, of course.
However, that bitter knowledge

A Gift
That Endures
A PHOTOGRAPHIC-PORTRAIT is a source of
much pleasure to one's friends. As a token of
affection and remembrance, it is certain to be
appreciated. And when done by Townsend,
it is certain to be artistic and distinctive.
