Nov It's
My Turn
BY EDDIE McCULLOUGII
The Big Vice coming up soon
(the Mortar Board Ball, that is)
leaves all us mere males sweating
out dates. My pet amusement is
asking people disarming questions
so thought I'd find out how the
Big Boys plan to get themselves
asked.
First two I met were drinking
coffee in the Crib, and had defi
nite plans already laid. One said
"Look, I'll show ya," calmly set
fire to a crisp new $5 bill, lit a
cigaret with it, and tossed the
burning scrap onto the floor. The
other pulled out a set of car
keys, nonchalantly twirled them
slowly around his finger. My
apologies to the two blondes I
knocked down while getting out
of the booth.
The third one was more aloof.
He said "Well, I've been dating
for seven or eight years now.
Dates aren't so wonderful to me
any more that I'll go out just to be
going out. w hat s the rush? I d
rather wait until I find a girl that
I really appreciate, and then start.
I got plenty of time."
The most particular youth en
countered was the one who had
seven missions over Pike's Peak
to his credit. He said he planned
to run a classified ad in the Rag,
something like "Wanted: Well-
dressed, intelligent, witty blonde
or brunette with '42 or '46 model
convertible. Must be good dancer,
bright conversationalist, well
read. Applications will be ac
cepted between the hours of two
and two-thirty . . . red-heads need
not apply."
Finally found a fella who had
given the situation practically no
thought. When he was informed
that his date for the Military Ball
was not obliged by custom or
anything else to ask him to the
Mortar Board Ball, he was slightly
nonplused. Seems he spends all
his spare hours in Omaha, loung
ing about the rearmost booth of
the soft-lighted Frolics, at the
hour when the white-collar girls
come in after work. The way he
described the date situation in
Omaha is that the eligible male
has his choice of the horde, and
he was having difficulty realizing
that he would have any trouble
in Lincoln.
Thus, kiddies, we have a cross-
section of male approach on the
campus. There should be enough
plans here, with variations on
each, to give everyone a solution
to the problem.
Me? well, ah I think women
are allergic to me. But you guys
go right ahead and use these
schemes they're for free. I'll see
the rest of you that night in the
Pines or Diamond Grill. ' Stag,
that is.
And remember,
Girls that are older
Are renerally bolder
Bat girls that are younger
Are strictly from hunger!
