Quote, Unquote—- <
Our favorite ministerial quotation
started with a little hemming and
hawing, and ended with "Well, I
Won't say it, but it used to be a destination. Now people,look like it,
act like it, and drive like it."
Open Season—
Bad Axe has the right idea.
Come Leap Year, marriage licenses
grow on trees (well, anyhow, they're
free!). That is, if the woman in the
case does the applying.
Which should be glad tidings for
those lassies who managed to wait
until 1940. And should appeal also
to the much-lauded "economy" foible of the man's mind.

Too Much Generosity—
Eugene Kinney is one of the few
remaining Generous Souls.

to the Life  office, inquired plaintively,   "Has   anyone   an   exercise
sheet for English?"
It turned out that Gene, although
he distributed the exercises himself,
just didn't have the heart to deprive
anyone else of one, by saving one
for himself.
Trademarks—
Impossible not to know where anyone whistling "Oh, Susannah" had
been last Sunday night , . .Heard—
"He's the man of the hour—about
an hour ago" ... A new romance in
a nutshell, "Permanently, so far."
. . . Chuck Schettler's version of
how we used to think you could tell
a villain This should be a trademark—all feminine physics students
like "Pestie" Milne, f'r instance,
should be termed "physicisters."
. . . Bill Stewart is aces high for
the head dilettanteship in these
parts Note for prospective shoppers—"If women dress to please men,
it doesn't take much to please
them."—Author unknown.
President C. L. Anspach has been
writing a survey of "Radio and Its
Significant Implication For The Future In Education"- during the holidays. This writing will form a
chapter in a book for elementary
school principals compiled by the
Michigan. Education Association''—■'
The Twelfth Year-book.
Dr. Anspach says there are many
possibilities for the use of radio in
schools. According to Dr. Anspach,
the radio broadcast makes available,
to schools a variety of material
which the schools could not provide
otherwise, such as Walter Dam-
rosche's symphonies..
New Cavalcade

Winter Issue to Feature Cartoons, Caricatures, and Two
U
Modern Da Vinci-
Glenn Portt is a man with ideas
—and initiative!
As a sleuth: Hearing rumors of a
monumental flood in the men's
dorm during the holidays, the aforesaid Mr. Portt valiantly tracked
down all innuendoes. Data accumulated, mentioning furniture floating
in a kneedeep lake and water oozing from windows, Portt finally contacted dorm director McLaughlin.
Result? "Flood? What flood? The
only water around here came from a
radiator that leaked slightly. About
a pint ran under the linoleum and
that's all."
As a Walter Winchell: Extensive
research on Portt's part led to the
discovery that George DePuy doesn't
wear the largest shoes in college
(his are mere 14 AA's).   It takes Hi
Color PhokidJUopny.     ——
The winter issue of C.alvalcade,
Central State's humcr and fiction
magazine, is scheduled to appear on
Wednesday, February 14, according
to tentative plans announced by
Gladyce Owens, editor-in-chief of
Cavalcade.
This issue, cartoons and caricatures are again being done by Gene
Hurst, staff artist. There will be a
two color cover with a photograph
taken by the staff photographer,
Ray Town.
The short story which received
third place and one which received
honorable mention i n the short
story contest sponsored by Cavalcade for its Homecoming edition
will be published in the winter issue. The issue will also include a
seqtion devoted to poetry written by
students; several satirical articles;
an article by an outstanding freshman and one by a senior; and a
winter sports round-up of pictures
and articles by people who have
taken an active part in these sports.
More definite plans for the winter issue of Cavalcade will be announced later.
