Which Do You Fear--
t
Ben or New Awgwan?
BY DAKE NOVOTNY.
Which do you fear most, the
Awgwan or Blue car Bennie the
boogy man?
For the best 11,492 answers sent
into this office accompanied by
14 K-ration tops or a moldy good
conduct medal, we are in posi
tion to give three copies of this
publication absolutely FREE!
Since we all have heard enuf
about Bennie, let's take a candid
scan of latest edition of literary
sedition.
On the cover of the Simon
Screamer we find cover girl Fank
coyly posing in front of some
dense bushes clutching tightly to
a football. The question that im
mediately leaps to your mind is:
Was Fank searching the bushes
for the football or just searching
the bushes? It really doesn't
make too much difference, I
guess, since the partition editors
were only depicting the seasonal
sport. Incidentally the Awgwan
is one of the few magazine month
lies that comes out with its issue
for the previous month at the
end of said thirty days. Just an
other distinktive feature.
A Peek Inside.
Opening the cover (by mistake)
we find a typographical error
right away . . . maybe it was
the printer's fault. At any rate
the first page is titled "all we
have to say is" . . . and then by
mistake there is printed material.
Everyone knows that all the
Awgwan staff has to say is Dunhh!
In an amazingly short time you
are confronted with articles by
the publication standbys, Gillan
and Shestak. Per usual, Gillan
devotes (but fails to admit, as
Shestak does, that he's merely
filling space) countless inches to
babble that no one can decipher,
There is method in his madness
tho' since everyone who happens
to read the article must in turn
ask the author what's what, giving
Gillan all the more opportunity
to become notorious.
Worldly Shestak.

reminds all he really knows his
-l . a
way arouna wiiDer, piaygrouna
of southeast Nebraska.
The rest of the magazine is
devoted to the life blood of the
little gem, advertising. Tne editor
that in the next
issue (December that it. It will
be on all fire hydrants and pony
kegs by the fifth of January) he
will tell what Decame oi jo inus
left arm. Anything to sell the
pulp primer.
Ballot for Ellie.
I will intentionally overlook the
ballot printed on the inside of
the back cover. Ellie Ewanson
has asked for a journalistic pa
tent on any comment directed
at that specific page. Mere men
tion of it and she starts tying
pieces of string in form of a hang
man's knot and muttering some
thinz about the War Crimes Tri
bunal and in less than four words,
too!
Ol' Buddy Walt just dispatched
his staff to give a pint of blood
in order to increase the assets of
the mag. He promised to go as
soon as he decides whether or
not he can spare any.
This is really not as cruel a
command as it may seem, with
out money, ye olde editor will
have do a swan dive instead of
Christmas Posters
Arc Being Painted
One of the most recent projects
being handled' by Miss Helen
Wilson's drawing classes is a series
of Christmas posters being painted
by the art students which even
tually will be sent to the main
Junior Red Cross distributing post
in St. Louis, Mo.
These posters being completed
by Gene Shlpps, Lavona Rosen
thal, Ann Webster, Billie . Lou
Lear, Don Schmitt, Bob Askey,
Leroy Wright, Shirley Bolcn,
Norma Karlson, Carolyn
Schwenker, 'Lois Moline, Fran
Wallace, Barbara Omsler and
Dona Jean Saum, will be sent to
be exhibited wherever American
troops are stationed.
writing a swan song for the last
issue.
So it is with a feeling of nausea
we leave the little cubicle in
the northeast corner of the Rag
office with Rog and Dina pour
ing over the list of fifteen sub
scribers trying to decide which
shall be the lucky one to receive
the 300 extra copies this month.
One last question . . . Why, just
why?
