PARAGRAPHICS
The Buccaneer, says Pete Ivey, is now being
published under an assumed name.
Now that South Carolina has gone wet, the
governor probably looks across dry North
Carolina to His Excellency in Virginia and
observes that it's a long way between drinks.
Washington's investigations and probes
have their place, after all. At least they bring
to light a lot of senators you'd never have
known were up .there otherwise.

The major problem of a college fraternal group
is not in the process of obtaining additions to
its membership, but in assimilating its pledges,

Study in
Paradox S.-; : . " : . "
While the apprehension, of the Lindbergh
baby's kidnaper gives the law a long lead in its
race with crime, it is nevertheless an interesting
sidelight on the workings of justice that a 35
year old German could evade the law in one of
the most sensational hunts in history and remain
free to enjoy the blood money which he har
vested from his crime. Agents of the law are
not to be censured at this time, but congratulated
on the triumph of justice that they have effect
ed, however. ;
The intriguing side of Hauptmann's case is
the way in which confusion piled itself on con
fusion to delay his apprehension. The great
amount of publicity given to the crime which,
although it was sensational news, was an invi
tation to "informants" and "go-betweens" to
chisel in and hamper the work of authorities;
the apparent simplicity of tracing the German
from the note that so readily betrayed his ori
gin; the fact that he was unlawfully in the
United States; the very daring of the crime;
rail these confused authorities and delayed his
apprehension. As to his ransom note, the pecu
liar German-English mixture in which it was
written led authorities to believe that a master
criminal, instead of an uneducated German alien,
was the kidnaper and was attempting to throw
them off the track. But if our quotability serves
us rightly, it was Seneca who wrote that "nothing
is so odious to wisdom as too great shrewdness."

may seem, was m a way more easy in compari

AIR-CONDITIONED
During the hottest of the sum
mer's heat waves a friend of
ours was seduced by the facts
and figures and frosty looks of
a Frigidairei and had one in
stalled. But within the first
month his electric bill shot up
alarmingly, way out of propor
tion to the salesman's estimate.
He called up the service and
raised merry hell, and the puz
zled salesman sent a mechanic
around to see if some faulty con
nection couldn't be causing the
trouble. While the mechanic
tinkered with the wires, black,
buxom Bella, our friend's cook,
was an interested spectator.
Observing her interest, the
mechanic asked Bella what she
thought of the machine.
"Ah likes it fine," replied Bel
la, fanning herself. "It sho' is
a relief to have that do open to
cool this hot kitchen off ' these
here days."
LACONIC YANKEE
And on Nantucket, an island
which your map will tell you
juts out beyond the mainland of
the United States below Cape
Cod further than anything but
the northern tip of Maine, there
is a sign we think you ought to
know about. It points toward
Wiasconscet, a little settlement
on the ocean tip of he island. It
reads: " 'Sconscet 3 miles;
Spain 3,000 miles."
A LA NORMA SHEARER
While we had the chance, we
thought we'd find out exactly
what a "riptide" is, remember
ing the tune and the movie most
of you heard and saw last
spring. We learned that it oc
curs when two tides come to
gether at angles, causing a suc
tion. That is, it's not one tide
going in and another out, but
two tides going the same way
from different directions. And
that "riptide" is a perversion of
the real name "tide-rip.
SOUTHERN ACCENT
Then there is the one about
the junior who came down a few
days early. and nearly started a
fight in front of the bus term
inal: after a few drinks in cele
bration of the beginning of
school. 'As he passed the term
inal, it seems that one of the

yelled "Trunk man?"- at him.

BLUE EAGLE BROTHERHOOD
Of course - no first column of
the year would be complete
without a freshman story. Ours
concerns the member of the
Class of 1938 who was looking
carefully through the handbook
in the presence of his senior ad
visor. He looked up from one
of the pages on intramural ath
letics, and asked the senior seri
ously, "Say, what fraternity, is
this FERA, anyway? I see here
where they beat Sigma Chi."
TWO-EDGED SWORD
Another of the. crop concerns
a bull session on, religion. Every
body concerned, including a few
upperclasmen who, deigning to
friendship with several of the
new men, were expounding their,
views, in a fashion worthy of
Aimee McPherson, was drag
ging in quotations from the
Book of Job in incongruous;
juxtaposition to the latest
"isms."
Our quiet freshman, patiently
waiting his turn, had plenty of
time to realize that what he was
about to say must carry no lit
tie weight of sophistication and:
daring. Out of the smoke-filled
room he finally piped up :
"And I," he said impressively
"am an atheist thank God!"
NATIONAL, EVENT
A young lady of our acquaint
ance was expecting a child earljr
in the fall, and naturally her
friends, most of them still un
married, were must interested
in exactly when the blessed event
was expected. We happened to-
be on hand when one of them
called up to ask. The lady on.
our end drawled into the phone :
"Yes, Anne? . . . On Labor
Day, we think. GOODbye.'
