Refutes Slobber Logic
To the Editor:
A rebuttal! Lethargic, yes, but
I appreciate having three more
members of the 99 per cent stick
ing their necks out across the
chopping block. J. Eton, Charley
and Hinky:
You boys obviously get around
a good deal among yourselves to
be able to say "believe me,
there is not a fellow on campus
that doesn't know how to kiss
without slobbering ." Your
home-osculatory activity may be
ouite extensive, but I believe you
inadvertently missed a few of the
fellows. If you keep this poll
up to date, you'll be too busy to
come over and play bridge.
You're as fouled up on your
theology as you are on general
lgic. Eve was created for Adam
which hardly makes man "God's
gift to woman." Unless, of
course, you think that God made
Adam, looked him over, and
thought "Oh, what a wonderful
creation. It would certainly make
a nice gift. Now I'll make some
thing to give it to."
"Breta Garbo."
It Happended at NU
' One of the residents of the
Men's Dorm found himself fac

after his girl friend in Iowa called
him Ion distance, collect, to find
out why he hadn't written for a
week.
The younr man had $1.49 In
his pocket for food money before
his Iowa friend called. The money
melted away as she talked. The
young man signaled wildly for
help and a passing friend save
him 50 cents. That too vanished
as the Iowa girl kept talking, col

She had to hang up when her
guy ran out of money. He had

Weed's Mews In Review
Korean Front
Monday, two U. S. divisions
staged a three-pronged attack
against a communist windswept
plateau menacing the U. N. ad
vances in East-Central Korea.
On the central front, U. S. ma
rines moved up 1,500 yards to
clamp a vice on the village of
Seamal, at the junction of Hoeng-song-Honchon
and Hoengsong
Yongdu roads.

By Friday, the North Korean
Second Corps threw a reinforced

and the Reds were able to hold
their own only on the extreme
end of the 70-mile line.
Thousands of communist eq

'Stolen Goods'
Iowa State Daily Construes New
Definitions of Basketball Terms
By Connie Gordon
With the basketball season still upon us, I have dia, upholding her mathematical genius.
pilfered some basketball term definitions from the
Ballyrot column of the Iowa State Daily so you
can know the score at any basketball games as
far as the basketball terms go.
Here they are:
"Double Dribble: Pre-game statement by the
coaches."
"Forward: What I am to the girl sitting next to
me."
'Guard: What the girl setting next to me is on."
"Center: The part of the bleachers already filled
when I get to the game."
"Knee Guards: Shoulder blades of the person in
front of you."
"Fast Break: What it takes to get a good seat."
"Far End of the Court: Where all the action
takes place."
"Shoot, You Fool: Strategy of the man sitting
next to you."
"Four Shot: Any scoring shot made by the op
posing team."
"Coach: An animated ulcer."
"Referee: The bald man with hair in his eyes.
Usually a cousin of the opposing team."
Around final time, I could use a brain like hers
(who couldn't)!
Back to the Iowa State Daily for some more
stolen goods. This time, it's a pome that I would
like to pass on to you. It is dedicated to the col
lege man.
It goes like this:
College man is funny guy
He likes to drink, he tells much lie;
From dawn till dusk, he always smoke,
Him laugh Teal loud at dirty joke.
His pants them short, his hair is too,
Him bad at books, him good at woo;
He chase around in battered car,
He knows where all the dark spots are.
He never works, he always play
He flirts with pretty girls all day.
If these be all a student do,
I think me go to college, too!
Ah, misguided youth (or is it?)
Attention all liars (I see that 1 have almost
everyone's attention now). The Utah Daily Chron

Interim Appointments
Interim staff appointments for
the UCLA Daily Bruin were made
March 5. No editor was named
and none of the new appointees
were members of the Bruin staff
that walked out.
The temporary staff will con
tinue in office for about a week.
By this time a selection com
bittee will recommend a perman

Club Frogram
A nroerram is being worked out
with the department of journal
ism to set up a cub training sys

given for these sessions. Accord

program will improve the quality
of future Bruin editors who are
selected by considering their com
petence, past experience, ability,
technical experience and experi
ence on the Bruin.
Until the temporary staff was
appointed the Daily Bruin was

Eight O'clocks
While William T. Lenser was
teaching at Brown university, he
had a problem of students leav

a.m. once every month.
Near the building where he
taught was a narrow one-way

parking there but it was enforced
only once a month.

Seventy-five thousand college
students a year will be deferred
for the first three years of the

required to take four months of

The bill will now be voted on
by the House.
Disputes Heal
The L a b o r-W i 1 s o n breach
showed signs of healing early this
week.
Labor members will return to
the Wage Stabilization Board if
the panel is given control over
union-management disputes and
the government's 10 per cent
raise formula is further liberal

Hot words were traded across
the bbreach but settlement is ex

Prices Leveled
ThP leveline-off of prices may
be sooner than we think.
Price Director Micnaei uusaue
predicted last month rising prices
until midsummer. Now he says
the plateau wiu be reacnea
sooner. n
A ceiling price of 45.39 cents
has been put on cotton. The price
of steel for autos and other con
sumer goods will be cut u per
cent.
Men Called
The army has announced that
12,000 more captains and lieu
tenants in the national guard and
organized reserves will be in uni
form by June 29.
This will include 3,444 captams
and 3,206 first and second lieu
tenants on an individual basis.
They will be called between May
23 and June 29 to report, and
must serve for 21 months unless
congress lengthens terms of duty.
They will have 30 days to wind
up personal affairs. The guard
officers will be called on a vol
unteer basis, but some reservists
will be called involuntary.
The call will also include 300
medical service corps officers, 150
women's army corps officers, 150
chaplains and 50 army field artil
lery aviators. This will increase
the number of guard and reserve
officers in these ranks who have
been called since beginning of
the Korean war up to 40,uuu.
Hearings Start
An investigation will open next
Monday into possible law viola
tions brought out into the Sen
ate's inquiry into the Reconstruc

The Justice department an
nounced this after a Senate bank
ing subcommittee had called the
record of its hearings to the de

Earlier in the week, a Senate
investigating committee alleged
that President Truman himself
once became interested in a 12
million dollar loan to a Boston
corporation.
Conference Begins
Big four deputy talks with Rus
sia have begun.
The United States, Britain and
France have pledged themselves
to "act tough" and "fight" They
are approaching the talks with
an open mind, but with a clear
understanding that there shall
be no surrender to Moscow nor
any relaxing of our determination t
to protect the west's security!

Scholastic Failures.
Tnere will always be those
individuals who take upon them
selves to right the wrongs til
of them or whose interests are
so great and varied that they
find themselves scholastic fail

cesses. Our main objective in
college should be to prepare our
selves for participation in the
political and economic as weu as

they should not be an end in

The senate's failure to add the
proper constitutional amendment
which would have required stu
dents in certain activities to
maintain the Q.P.R. necessary
for graduation in the school or

sighted on their part.
They may have felt the sug
