r 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 (as they say in old American) out .. oiiiinued on Page Six) 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.
