We have been so busy getting our
musical roommate registered that
yre haven't had much time for columnar activity. We've had a good
many roommates in our day, but
never one like this. The first one
was five, eleven who fascinated men
along the Mickey Rooney order.
Then there was the biology major
who wrote free verse. We even had
one who joined the WACs, but never one as radical as this "deadline
dodger." Musical temperament, tsk,
tsk.

The newly arrived V-12's provided a feast for avid eyes—eyes
starved for the glorious blaze of a
striped sock, a flowered tie, a plaid
jacket and non-matched trousers.
Thanks, boys, it was lovely while
it lasted. It brought back a nostalgia for the old days of Bob
Flynn's plaid flannel shirts and
Jim  Shader's striped terry-cloth
job.
* *   *
Another   bit   of   nostalgia   was
evoked by the singing of some V-5's
in the cafe a few nights past. Talk
about "community spirit."   It was
there.

Tersest, briefest, succinctcst

of a new patriotic, paper-saving
alphabet, we read about someplace. IT skip all unneccessary

"Sa-ay now, is this ever a tough

"Is it ever!"
"Well, put out the flag."
"Feel free."
We know a girl who went two
days without using a word other
