December 8, 1950 THE SALEMITE Page Three Men I Have Known . . By Bessie Leppert (Significant excerpts from Bes sie Leppert’s soon-to-be- pub lished Handbook for Young Ladies.) Women of the world, unite! You have nothing to lose but your chains! For in these troubled times of atomic power, when wars, molecules and men are running rampant, women, the sole antidote for men since time began, must as sert themselves and vociferously denounce men and their unfounded foibles. Now this is safer said than done; for men possess one basic weapon which is very near incombatable; in a word, their sex. The horrid truth is, that with all the scientists’ inovations, a substi tute for gender has yet to be in vented; and until it is, ladies, we must simply make the best of a bad situation. To help you in this stoical task, I have arranged the following material (gathered from my own personal experience) in f)ithy, outline form, and composed some of types, and subtypes, with typical comments on each. If this brief data can in any way aid you in analyzing your particular enigma, perhaps you will drop me a line and expound, as I myself am as prodigiously puzzled on all counts as ever. But enough of preliminary —now on with the facts! 1. The-Frank-and-To-The Point Type A. Multi-Flavor-Pie-Varlety 1) “I’m completely infatu ated with you tonight, but tomorrow, who can tell?” 2) “Why should I settle for strawberry pie when I can have cherry and blueberry too?” (This variety might also be termed in less esoteric langu age as the “fickle variety.”) B. Affected Idiocyncrasies Var iety 1) “I used to think you w^ere a beast but you really have’ improved.” 2) "After 3 well-s pace d dates followed by 3 years of silence, and spokeiv loudly before a throng who is acquainted with this fact ■— “Remember when we used to go around together? Wow'l” C. Farmer-Face Variety This type invariably is a “big hulk of a boy,” with a red, jovial face, rather large, insensitive ears, and an honest, clear-eyed ex pression. (Disarming at the onset.) 1) “I’m a sincere kind of a guy myself and I’m only sorry that you don’t seem to trust me.” “Are you married, pinned, going steady or carrying the torch? If not—” 2) Toward end of evening, states! “When I take a girl out I expect to do more than just talk.” II. The Inscrutable or Consiously Vague Type A. The Studied Nonchadence Var iety 1) “I think we like each other rather well, don’t you ?” 2) “Your hair is still as short as ever, isn’t it ?” “I guess it is. “Just wanted you to know I noticed.” 3) “By the way (I hope you don’t like flattery, but) I was rather proud of you last night.” III. The Nebulous or Vacillating Type A. Bug-in-the-Head Variety All but formally engaged to, when suddenly drops off acquaintanceship save a casual phone call oc casionally to ask: “What have you been do ing?” When questioned as to the meaning of his behavior, answers incredulously: “What are you talking about?” MORAVIAN CHRISTMAS STAR AND COOKIES ARDEN SALEM STORE Also Attractive Christmas Gifts In Superior, Wisconsin, the favorite gathering spot of students at the Superior State College is the Cafe teria because it is a cheerful place —full of friendly collegiate atmos phere. And when the gang gathers around, ice-cold Coca-Cola gets the call. For here, as in college haunts everywhere—Coke belongs. Ask for it either way . . . both trade-marks mean the same thing. BOTTLED UNDER AUTHORITY OF THE COCA-COLA COMPANY BY WINSTON COCA-COLA BOTTLING CO. © 1950, The Coca-Cola Compony W’ith further pressing of issue, replies: 1) “You’ve changed” 2) (brokenly) “I’m not good enough for you” 3) After passing of some weeks— “I’ve got a bug in my head —can’t you give me a little time?” Then what? Character suddenly leaves town; no more word from same. B. For-the-lack - of Something - Better Variety After several weeks of smoothly pleasant courting writes letter whose most important portion reads I “I really think we better call this off; we certainly don’t get along very well.” IV. The Uncouth Type Chinese-Traditional Variety 1) No manners a. Walks full ten feet in front of date b. Does not open car door for date c. Does not light cigarette for date unless requested, thereupon doing so with incredulity. 2) Wrestles untireingly a. Shows prodigious irrita tion at lack of warmth (first date) b. Remarks bitterly, “Have you no emotions ?” V. The Paragon-of-Virtue Type 1) Well-mannered a. Pulls out chair for date (not too far) b. Asks date’s preference in (Continued on page eight) News Briefs The Athletic Association will hold awards day in assembly Tuesday.
