Of course it is only 1:30 and there
are lots of trucks on the road this
time of night. Good-bye, good-
luck . . . sure glad to have met
you Mr. Mumblemumble.
Well, here I am. Wonder when
I’ll catch another ride? Is she
dreaming of me tonight or ... is
she out with some so-and-so. Gosh
it's dark out here. Think I’ll sing.
What’ll I sing? (Interval filled
with song). Where are all those
cars? How many steps is it across
the road ? Blast the wind—can’t
get this cigarette lit. Just about
out. . . better get a ride pretty

Webster is Silent
Glamor is something that evap
orates when the sweater is a lit
tle too large, highly volatile.
In a reverie
An unknown lonesome Fish
dropped this on my desk over the
weekend. No doubt the fellow was
lonesome and sad at heart. Ag
gies customarily use another term
for that state of mind. This guy
decided to daydream a bit over the
pictures of his one and only a
while before studying. Before he
gets through v he decides that he
has more than one one and only
and to have a satisfactory day
dream about each . . . Pictures! Pic
tures! What memories they bring
to me. A book ought to be writ
ten about them. Maybe it’s better
if it is left unwritten, (Editor’s
note—An unnkown philsophical
gentleman has said, ‘He who doth
not write to women has justifiable
foundation to fear no woman’).
“Oh yes, my watch. Something
has happened. I know I haven’t
been looking at pictures 45 min
utes. It’s too hot to study any
way. Besides I’m too lonesome.
And the dorm is too quiet for con
centration. Anyway, it is almost
two weeks before the grades go
in. Can work time for study in this
coming week.
“I’ll take another look at my
pictures.”
Three’s a crowd
A sergeant, ever-mindful of the
censor, stopped in the middle of
“Lieutenant Leslie, this is my wife,
a letter to his wife to interpolate:
Honey, this is Lieutenant Leslie
the censor.”
Then he started a new sentence,
and as an afterthought added:
Crowded in here, isn’t it, honey?”
Quote He
An old Quaker speaking to his
wife once said, “Everyone is queer
except thee and me and sometimes
I think that thou are queer.”
Off-campus Distractions
This next week-end won’t be as
long as planned since the college
has definitely announced that there
will be no mid-semester holidays
but one fellow’s opinion is that
there will be quite an exodus from
the campus this next week-end.
Some of the guys are planning
hayrides and some are planning

everything that goes with a hay-

the hay or the danger of falling
off the wagon.
Girls, they are going to be there
to see you this week-end. Tell the
aircorps boys and the navy lads
that they will have to move over
because about 1100 truckloads of
Aggies are coming down the road.
Come what may the boys are go
ing to squeeze their way through
this weekend. She may be a lemon
but it takes just one good squeeze
to make her a sugar coated lemon
drop.
Election time
Elections are coming up in the
first part of August in the north
ern cities which may drive the Ag
gies south for the summer, winter,
fall.
famed International News Service
motion picture editor, will round
out the replacement cast for Win

Reynolds and Oursler will be

sons from Hollywood.
That a prophet is without hon
or in his own country may apply
to certain prophets, but not to
clever Drew Pearson, Blue Net
work commentator heard each
Sunday at 6:00 p.m., CWT, whose
accurate predictions of things to
come have been approximaely 68
per cent right.
To ilustrate Pearson’s skill in
foretelling future events, consid
er the fact that on September 27,
1942, the Washington Merry-Go-
Round colmunist and commentator
predicted over the Blue Network
that “Thomas E. Dewey would be
the next Republican nominee for
president.”
Another Pearson prediction, one
which was more or less shrugged
away as so much nonsence, was
made in his broadcast last October
24, 1943. On that program Pear
son said:—
“Hitler’s new weapon will be a
long range rocket built somewhat
like a glider which will be able to
cross the English Channel and!
ring teror and destruction to the
very heart of England.

A most employable youngster is
13-years-old Harve Fischman, of
the Blue Network’s Quiz Kids, who
thus far has been offered jobs as a
reporter on seven metropolitan
newspapers; as a newcaster for
Station WFIL; as one of the red-
haired lads in the New York com
pany of “Life with Father”; as a
department store xecutive (Thal-
himer’s in Richmond, Va., wanted
to train him for such a post); and
as a something-or-other in the pub
lishing firm of Simon & Schuster.
A divorcee meets her former
husband when he is on a buying
mission for the armed forces. He
tells her about a sweet young
thing whom he plans to marry.
And that starts the love interest
all over again.
How it unfolds is dramatically
portrayed in the Blue Network’s
My True Story on Wednesday,
July 26, at 9:00 a.m., CWT. The
title is “Dinner Party” and it can
be attended with a twist of the dia.l

three states he outlines would each
have cultural and political unity
and economic sufficiency. This
would weaken racism, militarism
and the influence of the general
staff. While he advocates an in
ternational organization, he thinks
there should be no international
police force. When necessary to
employ force to maintain peace,
Mr. Welles says it must be applied
regionally. A digest of his book
makes no mention of disarmament
except among the aggressor na
tions. In agreement with Mr
Wallace and Mr. Willkie, he de
clares the old imperialism must
give way to trusteeship of peoples
who are at present incapable of
self-government. The more advanc
ed nations must strive to school
them in civilization and to raise
their standards of living. Or to put
it another way, the freedoms of
the Atlantic Charter will never
be secure in the whole world as
long as they are not secure in any
part of it.
