Boys' Letter Disputes 'Ratio' Of Men, Women BY AMY PALMER Staff Reporter It has been brought to the at- tion of this reporter that certain figures published under her name were incorrect. The figures under fire are those pertaining to the on apartment where she paid $20lratio of men to women on this monin rent. She had no word from her hus Dana and nad been unable to locate him. It appeared unlikely ne wouia return to uncoln with a criminal charge facing him. As she had no income, she was found eligible for legal aid. First, the Social Service Ex change of Lincoln was contacted campus. Said figures were 3V4 men to every one (1) woman. The article also went on to say that since some men were previously engaged, deadheads or too short, this left only i a man to that one (1) girl. A group of "the boys" have written a letter which brought to my attention the fact that "it is Zoologist Makes Survey; Finds 14 Tongue Folders expedient to categorize the girls." They were categorized into four divisions similar to the four di visions into which the men were classified. They then arrived at the conclusion that only 10 per cent of the girls on campus are worth wasting an evening with. Dividing, this 10 per cent into the three to four ratio we had previously, "the letter said," we finally arrive at a more nearly correct figure of 7V4 boys to each girl." The letter concluded, "you think you got it bad? You ain't never had it so good." As previously mentioned, this is the opinion of a few. After sev eral telephone calls, more opin ions were received. Following are a few of the decent ons: "I don't know about the ac curacy of your figures, but I do BY KATHY RADAKER Staff Reporter If you can fold back the tip of your tongue, as a dog when drink ing, you have a hereditary trait possessed by less than three per cent of the population. So says David Whitney, zoology professor at the University. The Old Testament book of Judges (7:3-6) says, "and there remained ten thousand . . . and the Lord said unto Gideon . . the people are yet too many . . . everyone that lappeth of the water with his tongue, as a dos laDteth. of them that lappeth . . were uiree nundred men." From a poll taken in the Union we found the startling results that only seven out of 45 students could fold the tip of their tongues. Some of the tongue-movement patterns in man are in herited and others are learned. The tongue is a very mobile organ capable of a variety of in tricate movements. However, some persons are able to per form certain types of tongue movements which other persons are unable to do. Among about 200 students in a course in genetics only four were found who could fold back the tip of their tongues. From another group of about 800 students tak ing zoology ten more were found who could do this. Twelve of these had often done to find out whether any of them were associated with this tongue folding trait. These traits were lateral edge curling or rolling GENETICS TEASER . . .

To be sure, it was a day of re joicing for the worthy members of the T.H.F.F. (Thank Heaven For Friday) Club. However, the fact that it was Friday made no difference to Hortense and Horace. Being new students at the Uni versity, and "just another one of those steady couples on campus, they were feeling mighty low be cause everyone ignored them, in other words, they weren't at all happy. They wanted to have a good time, but they didn't know how to do it. They wanted to be part of the crowd, but they didn't know whom to see about it. When they walked to class together Friday morning, they noticed all the "Rally Tonight" signs. Both of them sighed. "This is just going to be another one of those things that we ll be left out of," Horace moaned. "I suppose so," Hortense un willingly agreed. "Oh! By the way, Horace, when are you com' ing after me tonight for our long walk? I probably won't see you again until tonight with all my classes and things. "Well, how about seven?" Hor ace supplied. "And we haven't seen that Acropolis thing 'way over on the north part of the campus. I thought we might take that in." "All right," Hortense agreed. The couple parted and went to their respective classes. With so many things to do, both found that the day passed by quickly. When seven o'clock rolled around, Hortense was in a mad frenzy. Horace wasn't there. Seven-fifteen. Still no Horace. "Horace is always here on time. know that thp stuff nhmit HonH heads just doesn't apply to this sh herself' house. So that may raise the ratio a little." "I am not prepared to make a statement at this time, but if we could get together some evening, I U let you know then." Some people just can't keep their minds on busmess. . "No girl on this campus de serves three men, or even a fourth. There's only about one in every house that's worth dat ing." Of course, in most houses, it's better to date only one ... at a time. And so it went No one would Suddenly her buzzer rang. She rushed down to find the dorm lobby in an uproar. "Horace!" she yelled. At that he glanced up, grinning, '"Hortense," he said smugly, "I'd like to have you meet Julie and Juniper. They're new stu dents here too, but someone told them about something new to do. They're going out to Joe's Jazz Joint to dance. They want us to go with them." Before Horace could get another word in, Hortense yelled, "Oh, fine!" That was it. They were off. As they whizzed west on the Julie unconsciously shrieked to gether. They both looked at e a ch other and laughed. The fellows looked at each other and winked knowingly, silently agreeing that their ac cidental meeting had been a success. "Really," Hortense said, "I didn't know that anyone could have so much fun here at school!" "I didn't either!" shouted Julie. While the girls chattered on ex citedly, Horace looked at Juniper and said, as quietly as he could in the midst of the uproar, "Got to do this again." Juniper nodded his whole hearted approval. Suddenly their chat was in terrupted with, "Huskers Fight fight, fight, fight!" The four looked up just in time to see a flock of red and white sweaters jump up and down. The crowd roared. The two couples looked at each other. Never had they seen such spirit They looked amaz- I edly at the crowd , of noise makers. Seeing that 'they were the only ones who weren't cheering, they joined in. When people started singing University songs, they all sang, stumbling along from word to word. Despite the errors they were making, they all laughed at each other and tried harder to get them right the next time. The evening went very fast. Soon it was time to leave. "I wish this evening would never end!" exclaimed Hortense. "That's the way I feel!" Julie joined in. Juniper added, "Yes! I wish there were a rally every nfght!" As the two couples walked up to the dorm door where they had first met, there was a warm feeling of friendship between them. They felt now that this old University wasn't such a bad place alter all.

Hortense and Wanfed-Men For Orchesis Dance Group No one has to know a thing. That is, to try out for Orchesis. According to Miss Helen Troy Martin, Orchesis director, all that is required is an earnest desire to build bulging biceps and main tain those mammoth muscles. No, ladies this does not apply to you. This is recruitment for the male modern dance crew. Anyone belonging to the mas culine gender, who harbors such ambitions as outlined above, should see Miss Martin, modern dance studio, Grant Memorial. Now for Orchesis the wom en's end of modern dance. Try- outs, according to Miss Martin, will be held Wednesday, Oct. 3, at 7:15 pjn. in the modern dance studio, Grant Memorial. There are two Madrigal singing groups this year instead of the usual one. The increase was made, David V. Foltz, associate professor of voice, said, because of the large number of "potentially fine sing ers" interested in ' this type of music. The second group climaxes a three-year increase in the number of students auditioning for the group. This is only one of the several program additions to be made by the School of Fine Arts this year. . Members of the two groups as announced by Foltz Friday are: First group Peggy Bayer, Nancy Norman, Pat Laflin, Gwen Grosshans, Gladys Novotny, Rose Mary Castner, Jo Smith, Marjorie Danly, Nancy Button, Virginia Cummings, Janice Wagner, Janice Fullerton, Roberta Lewis, John; Moran, Joe Feeney, Dan Rasdal Bill Burke, Jack Wells, Jack An derson, Bob Brown, Milford Myhre, and Bob Van Voorhis.
