SPORTS
BASETKBALL PREVIEW
Everyone is concentrating on play
ing basketball at the present. Since
exams, practices have been well at

able players who seem to have for
gotten that practice begins at four

tion for the championship cup. There

WOMAN’S CLOWNING
GLORY
THIS COLLEGIATE
WORLD
(P.y Associated Collegiate Press)
Joking his way through classes
seems to be the policy of a certain
freshman in the school of commerce
at the University of Alabama. When
he came upon a particularly hard
question in one of his mid-term ex
aminations last week, the student
wrote:
‘ ‘ T don’t know the answer to this
one, but I do know a good joke that
I can write in its place. ’’ Whereupon
he scrawled off a 150-word yarn, and
at its conclusion, wrote: “I think
this ought to be worth some credit,
don’t you? God bless you if you do,
and God bless me if you don’t!”
Best quotation of the week comes
from football’s famed Whizzer
White, just arrived in England to
attend Oxford University on a
Rhodes Scholarship: “I guess I’m
going to study law. But I’m a fun
ny guy, and I’m gonna’ wait until
I get up there before deciding. I
think I’ll like it over here, because
I’m just a country ,boy and I’m not
very used to modern conveniences
anyway.”
Or How To Wear The Hair
Up—1939
1. Wash tlioughtfully, and hang,
face downw.'ird, over the end of the
bed. Meditate for an aeon or so.
2. Borrow roommate’s hairbrush,
and work into a frenzy from the
bottom up, until you look like the
Venida hair-net girl, and feel like
a paralyzed i>orcupine.
3. Madly jab a few little combs
into your skull to keep the hair in
inverted position.
4. Make a desperate effort to roll
the remaining end.'? up on tin curl
ers. If the attempt fails, rally a
few of your cohorts, and i^ress them
5. Keep calm, and remember that
Rome wasn’t built in a day.
6. Sit under the study lamp to
dry.
7. Endure this as long as pos
sible; then abstract the curlers with
a sigh of relief. If the curls are a
wee bit shy about sitting so brazen
ly atop your dome, kidnap the room
mate’s bobby pins to help overcome
this timidity. When these run out
try paper clips or knitting needles;
this will not only prove effective,
but add that touch of personal chic
and untrammelled individuality..
8. A single loose curl suspended
from the crown and falling gently
down the back will add that effect
of studied carelessness.
9. Xow get down that deliciously
mad little hat trimmed with pink
velvet Brussels sprouts, and drop it
tactfully over one eye. for dressy
occasions, wear long crystal chandel
earrings.
10. Take a final plunge into the
mirror and remember you are the de
scendants of a long line of pioneers.
Then go to meet your date. Or fate.
(You will probably wash it out
and wear a page-boy bob for the rest
of the season).
—Old Maid.
“LET’S CHANGE THE
ROOM AROUND
By Mary Lee Salley
Along with other changes whirh
come at mid-term is the one of chang
ing the furniture around so as to
got that feeling of starting every
thing off new again. Even tho’ it
may be only moving the beds to the
opposite wall, you still get that de
sired feeling of “something differ
ent.” Too bad we cau’t do the same
thing for our faces or other i»eoplc ’a
faces.
In rearranging a college room ycm
proceed in much the same way as
the woman who is rearranging her
living room. You try to picture
how tlie beds will look against the
south wall just as Mrs. C. pictures
the baby grand piano in the south
east corner. You have a hazy idea
as fo how they will look this way as
does Mrs. C. about the piano. So
you and the long-suffering room
mate try them over just as Mr. C.
])aiiifully rolls the piano into place
under tlie supervision of Mrs. 0.
You decide the beds look fuuny
tliere and Mrs. C. says the piano is
not noticed in that corner, so you
move the beds to still another wall
and ]ioor Mr. C. meekly shifts the
piano to the north-east corner.
After every possible arrangement
has been tried with little or no sat
isfaction, you and the room mate
stop the proceedings, and from ex-
hauston fall asleep on the beds which
are in the center of the room.
Spartan ilr. C- has long since faint
ed on the keyboard, for the jury
has decided that the piano would
look better in its original position.
You’ll feel different the next day
all right — so will Mr. C.

I DARE SAY
The choice bit of the week was the joke Marie Fitzgerald played
on Edith Horsfield. Marie told Edith that her home-town friend was
quite deaf and very sensitive about it. Marie wrote her friend that
she wanted him to meet Edith while she visited her after exams and
that Edith was quite deaf and very sensitive about it. They met and
shouted to each other in great consideration of the other’s affliction —
now, Marie.
Mac’s vacation did her good but we’re firmly convinced that
Raleigh must be hard on her eyes. After the picture show the other
night. Mac ran into Trances Watlington and some otliers chatting with
Garrison Peid. Much to Frances’ and Garrison’s astonishment, Mac in
troduced him to Sara Euark as ,Tohn Watlington. Garrison quickly saw
friends he had to see and Mac swooned on the pavement.
Frances Kluttz loves to get mail from home — and packages,, too.
She does hope, however, that her next package won’t cause as much
confusion in the post-office as the last one did.
Do You Know These People:
1. His eyes were lined with shadows of strife
And his look was one of deep dread and fear
I thought he had lived a suffering life
How was I to know it was too much beer?
2. Oh, he was a strong and silent man
He looked at me in a wondering way.
His thoughts seemed to be in a dreamy land;
I know now he just had nothing to say.
3. One kind of Snake who can leave mo alone
Is the worst kind of all I know, I know:
The one who says, answering tho telephone,
. “My room-mate is sick, but I’d love to go.”
We do hope Dr. Rondthaler found someone who could name the
little book which decorated the library’s birthday cake. He was trying
desi)erately, and getting off a few good cracks himself, to inspire wit in
his younger punsters when we ran into him.
How about the girl in
222 who takes along a box
of stationery and calls the class a correspondence course. Xot fit for
print - - - -
Mrs. Langhlin, from tlie looks of tilings ought to keep her hus
band stored carefully at home. After the Library Birthday Party he
was almost swamped by a mob of girls who simply had to meet him.
