George Hates
Communism
by Tootsie Gillespie
If psycliology lias anything at all
to do with people (and it doesn’t),
we may glance with mild interest
on the heretofore untold portion of
the life of one George Washington
(Spanish—Jorge Manrique Jose de
Avila de la Familia Manana Kuitz
Muy Poco Rico Sneako Stinko Como
Washington. George was given this
Spanish nickname by clever friends
because he was crazy about Spanish
rather unusual circumstances a
omlette).
George came into this world under
stork brought him. When his mo
ther told his father, his father looked
at his mother, winked, and said,
“Hell, Ileh, Heh!!” because HE
knew storks didn’t bring children—
they were found in trees, their little
pink faces peeping over the edge'of
a $1.00 Sears and Roebuck clothes-
basket, looking out over a brave new
world. This information may be
slightly inaccurate but at any rate,
one fact is established—George Was
hington WAS born.
At an early age, George showed
international tendencies by having
weekly correspondence with the little
Czar of Eussia and giving him a
remedy for hemophilia which- a frjan-
dly vampire had taught him (he was
a lover of nature).
Days grew into weeks, weeks grew
into months, months grew into years
and George grew into puberty. Qne
day, when he was just turning thirt
een going at full speed (he was go
ing steady with Dolly Madison’s
youngest sisjer and they had gotten
pinned the night before), George was
walking through his father’s garden
among the lovely, sweet-scented flo
wers in the fresh sunshine seeing
how many ants he could squash be
tween his toes when he su'ddenly had
an overwhelming desire to chop dow’^n
a persimmon tree. ‘ ‘ Who knows ’ ’,
said he, “I may make history by
this very act.” (There are some
misinformed historians who would
have us believe that George wanted
to chop down a cherry tree, but this
is just pure folly.)
After strenuous labor, little Geo
rge was about to shout, “Tim-m-m-
BER-B-R-B!!! ” when of a sudden

Eger Beave Scans Prices
by Janie Morris
The price of butter has gone down.
Eger Beave and I are loathe to
speak of the economic situation in
this country, because we are hor
ribly ignorant of the subject. He
made “D” on Principles and Prob
lems. But we feel that the student
body should be enlightened a little,
—, no matter how poorly.
Harry T. found himself in a kinda
bad position last week, tlie kind of
thing that makes him lie awake at
night, ’cause he said that the threat
of inflation still was large, and at
the very same time the price of
grain on the Chicago Market was
coming down for the first time in
months. Eger Beave just laughed
and laughed. Still Truman’ may
have something ’cause the prices
have gone up again somewhat and
demand still certainly does exceed
supply, and what with us sending
stuff over to Europe under the Eu
ropean RecoVery Plan (E. B. doesn’t
like long names and still calls it the
Marshall Plan), prices may stay
high for some time.
Eger Beave was glum at this re
port, but I told him that the guys
who know said there wouldn’t be
any great rise and, most important,
since the circumstances were a lot
different than in ’29 there wasn’t
any immediate chance of a crash,
even though prices >vere kinda wav
ering. ,
He came running to me tonight
with an article that said that some
] economists thought that this slight
I drop was just readjustment; and
i that prices that had been out of
j line tended to drop back, while
! others that haven’t risen so much
' were still about the same. We both
heaved a big sigh *!md decided that
i we would leave the details and par-
I ticulars to the President’s Council
of Economic Advisdrs who are be
ginning an “exhaustive” study of
the situation in this country..
