"Gee, you look handsome to
night," she says affectionally,
as he picks her up for the ball.
And why shouldn't he?
"Of course all you men have
to do is slip into your tux and
you're ready to go," she adds.
Oh yeah!
Our mythical man-about-campus
begins to reminisce
about the hours he spent put
ting a mirrored finish on his
weather-beaten black shoes.
He recalls 4he classes be cut
to get a haircut and the full
length novel he read while
waiting at the barber shop.
He vividly remembers the
simple process of "slipping
into his tux."
He thinks of last weekend
when he began "slipping into
his tux" by signing his life away
to his father to bring the car
back for the big occasion. And
the trouble he had borrowing
enough money to buy gas. ,
And what about those inci
dentals that nearly made him
late?
He came back to the house
from classes and noticed he was
out of toothpaste. A quick trip
down town soon remedied .that

"Who's got a raior blade?"
Five minutes- later: "Boy,

Another five minutes:
"Thanks for the bandage,
mom. How soon can I take
it off?"
Still later: "Will you please
get out of that shower!"
Ditto: "Who swiped my tux
shirt? .... No, you can't 'bor

He is rudely awaked from his
reminiscing as his date sighs,
"Did I have a time getting
ready! My hair ..."
Between "uh-huhs" and "yes,
darlings" he thinks about the
time he had getting tobacco

search for his only pair of black
socks.
And her hair. She doesn't
even have to fool with hair oil,
he thinks.
He recalls that his hair oil
was missing and the time he had
borrowing some. His friend had
said there was some in the top
drawer. "Ah, here it is."
As he was putting some on
his hair, his friend looked up,
"Not that bottle. I put it in there
so my roommate wouldn't find
it."
("Yes, darling.")
He recalls how fortunate it
was that he had been ready

to get a cup of coffee before

QUESTION
'"What was one of your most embarrassing mo
ments at a formal dance?"
ANSWERS
Hal DeGraw, sophomore, Arts and Science. The
dance music began so I immediately got up and
helped my date out of her chair. She stood up and
looked around. No one else was getting up to
dance and I guess she didn't want to be conspicu
ous so she sat down again. But I, expecting her to
step away from the table, had pulled the chair
clear out from under her and she sat down on the
floor.
Barbara Daniel, freshman, student at large. I
was wearing a formal with padded hips and while
I was standing on the dance floor I looked down
and noticed I had lost one pad. I quickly retired
to the ladies' room to remove the other pad so I
wouldn't be lop-sided. Then to my relief I found
that I hadn't really lost jt, but its position had be
come reversed and instead of hanging down from
the waist, it was above my waist.

ever knew the difference.
Joann Crosswell, sophomore, Teachers. At one
dance I wore a hoop skirt under my formal and
somehow it had become unsnapped while I was
dancing. I continued dancing but could feel the
weight of the metal hoop slowly pulling my hoop
skirt down. At the end of the piece I sort of shuf
fled off the floor to the rest room hoping that my
whole skirt wouldn't completely fall off.

Coeds Try Reducing

"and for Monday, read the
next three chapters and write a
500 wore! summary on each one.
There's the bell, class dismis
sed." The students come pouring
out of the classroom to be free
for another day. Two coeds
walking back to the dorm are
engaged ia a typical girls' con
versation (about boys and
dates.)
"You know Ruthie, I'm wor
ried," one of them says: "I have
a brand new formal that I
bought about three weeks ago
and I cton't know whether I'll
be able to wear it tonight or
not."
"Well why not?" the other
asks, "You certainly can't have
grown that much in three
weeks."
Oh, it s not that," is the
reply. "I bought it a size smaller
because- I thought that these
new exercises of mine would
do that much good, but now I'm
not so sine. Oh well, we've got
four hours. Maybe if I start now
I'll be able to wear myself down
in time."
"What do you mean we've got
four hours? Why that's barely
enough to scratch the surface of
all the things I have to do. My
gosh, I've got to brush my shoes,
polish my fingernails, press my
dress, cut my hair and, oh yes,
mend my formal. You know the
last time 1 went to a dance all
they did was jitterbug all night
?ong, so now I have to change
my forma; to three-quarter
length." Q
The girls return to their room
and settle into a somewhat scat
terbrained routine, midst the
clothes, bonks and other miscel
laneous articles which ornament
the domitory furniture.
"I've got to run down the hall
for a shower," Ruthies shouts,
"Will you brush my shoes for
me, please?" Without waiting
