Famous Piano
Humorist Says
Humor An Art
Henry L. Scott has long
felt that the projection of hu-
jnor is^an art, and that humor
should be an important fea
ture in the American concert
scene. Always a man to fol
low his feelings, Scott has
worked hard at perfecting a
style of playing a Steinway
(“I use the Steiriway exclus
ively”) that certainly inject
ed humor into classic ; and
semi-classic compositions.
His career represents a long and
impressive array of theater ap
pearances, radio engagements, a
season at New York’s famous
Rainbow Room, and a debut ftt
Town, Hall as ' “America’s First
Concert HumorUt.” In the last few
years he has been topring the
United States, giving-epncerts ! at
various colleges. ^ .
“Henry Scott’s popularity and
success with his style Is due large
ly to his personality, Tor he is one
of the nicest living Americans^”
says Kyle Crichton .foremost cele^
brity critic. “When he plays a
piece, lovers of the arts, from se
date dowagers in their box seats
to bobby-soxed balcony patrons, be
come reduced to hysteria. His boo
gie-woogie, his concert pieces, his
take-offs on various other,pianists,
and all his playing have one thing
in common — an appeal to all
listeners.’, " ,

The A&M Creamery held open
house Wednesday afternoon from
2 to 6 p. m. for .the purpose of se
curing stat^ttA^grJsi^'^vhich
to determme wnfeQier oKrnot‘there
is a difference mr the taste* of raw
and pasteurized milk.
-A. V. Moore, professor of Dairy
Husbandry and conductor of the
“Milk Tasting” test, said that the
purpose of the test was to obtain
observed opinions on the quality of
raw and pasteurized milk. In or
der to accomplish this, people of
all ages, male and female were in
vited to participate in the samp
ling.
It was also pointed out by
Moore that if any of the testers
proved to be well gifted in samp
ling milk, they : might be called
upon to make other tests. Some
future'test might be on flavor
or degree^of unproper pasteuriz
ation of milk, Moore pointed
out. -
Upon entering the creamery each
person was handed a tally card
with which to mark; their tastes.
In the first group there were three
samples. Space on the card allow-
--j.—
■' 1 t.'jl,
ed one of three answers for each
sample; raw, pasteurized, or can’t
tell.
In the second group only two
samples were offered. From these
the sampler was to state his pre
ference. Each participant was ask
ed with what frequency they drank
milk: regularly, seldom dr never.
At 5 o’clock the response of the
public was very promising, Moore
said. At that time over 144 per
sons had visited the creamery and
sampled the milk. Many samplers
enjoyed comparing their answers.
It was noted that one lady, unde
cided as to a samples status, pro
ceeded to mark her card “skimmed
milk.”
This reporter tried his taster
and could hot taste any difference
in the two grades of milk.
If a person drank raw milk
for a week and then changed over
to pasteurized milk a marked
difference can be noticed, it was
pointed out by one of the em
ployees of the creamery.
In the process of pasteurizing,
the milk is held at 143 degrees

Kinsey Report Will Be Model For Making Cheating Studies
■ By HARRY GOODING
Following the lead'of Dr. Kinsey
we have (delved deep into the study
of human nature and have come

amazed even us, hardened as we
are.

with a paper answering the ques
tion (‘Why do you cheat?” in a
thousand jfords or' less.
Becauw^of the great number of
students interviewed and because
there are sd few of us, we have
felt it prudent to alter names and
specific plaCes\ However, THE
FACTS ARE TRUE! (See editor
ial column on page\2.)
The first case, that^pf a Lester
W. Inkle, which we wish to pre
sent is rather interesting for it
shows—but to let Inkle speak for
himself.
“I wuz framed!”
Thank you, Inkle.
We have inserted the above to
show the seriousness of the sit
uation. Like a cry in the wilder
ness, Inkle’s statement touches
our heart. But he is not alone
in his sorrow and degradation.
Let us look at the case history
bf John Leflot.
Leflot says:
“I hate college. All my life
that’s all I heard—college, college,
college. My old man almost grad~
ted from one once and since then
has been pushing me to follow
his footsteps, only graduate,
ell, at first it sounded pretty
for he talked about nothing
t going around with girls, and
being a football hero, and getting
to go on trips with the team and
stuff like that. He never said
nothing about having to learn any
thing.
Because he had been so close
to finishing college, the town
people made him the head of
the school board, and with him
behind me I didn’t have any trou
ble getting through high school.
But then he pulls a boner and
sends me to a college that is out
of town. It doesn’t even do any
good that he gives me a letter
saying he is a pretty big guy
at home,
“They treated me wrong here
from the first, and I tell you, I
don’t! intend to put up with it much
longer. When I went up to the
table at the door, the first thing
they did was ask me what courses
I wanted to take. Not a word
about the baseball and football
teams. I up and told them right
ut that I didn’t care if I didn’t
any courses, but they just
led at me to get out of that
line ^pd go over to a table by the
doom
“After that it was just a round
of going from one table to another
and finally Vended up outside with
my hands full of cards and books
and one .thing And another. I was
just a little puzzled about it all
for I hadn’t seen none of the
girls that the old man had told
me about, and nobody yet had men
tioned football.
“I looked at all the stuff I was
holding and found out where
going to stay and went on
there. It was a big building II
all the others on the campus ai
P-
■j;
; j
it locked prttty good on the out
side, but inside where we had to
Stay it wasn’t so good. I found
the room that was marked on the
card and it didn’t look so good
either. There was a bunch of old
bottles all ove? the floor and un
der the mattrtess and I had to
clean those out before I even had
room to get my trunk in. Once it
was open and I had my stuff out :
and in the closet things looked a
little better, and I sat down to
■Write the old man a letter,
“I hadn’t written much, though
when another fellow came in
and said he was going to room
with me. That was alright with
me so he unloaded his stuff, and
then we got to talking.
“I was down right shocked when
I found out all that went on in a
place like this. My old man sure
had things fouled up. He had sent
me to this place where they don’t
even allow girls, on the campus'; I
don’t see how he could have made
a mistake like that but he did, I
was counting a lot on having some
girl! around to cheer for me and
everything when I was on the
team.
“It also seems that you can’t,
comb and get on the team jpst
like that, but you have to work up
to' it gradual. Well, that wasn’t too
bad news, either, but then he told
me that I would have to have a
pretty good bunch of grades before
I could even try out for the
That didn’t sound so good. I
hp<L any trouble with grades
fore because the old man took
care of it for me, but I didn’t
know for sure just what I was go
ing to do now.
. “We talked for quite a while be
fore some soldier boy broke into
the room and started raising cain
about something. It turned oyt to
be about us. He talked to us right
long and then I knew that my old
man had really fouled up when he
sent me here. I was in a military
college and the soldier told me I
had signed up and couldn’t get
away. Well that really made me
unhappy. I thought back at all the
things pa had said about the girls
and the tea parties, and I began to
be pretty sure that maybe I had
come to the wrong place.
I tried for three weeks to tell
somebody that I was in the
wrong place and find out how I
could get out of it, but every
time that I opened my mouth to
complain one of the soldiers
would tell me to quit griping.
“I didn’t see my room much
during those three weeks because
I was always going somewhere. In
the morning we would fall out into
a formation and go to classes
where I would sleep until; we fell
out | into another formation am<L
marched/back. Once we got back
we had to do all kinds of things
and they even tried to make us
study in the evening. I didn’t mind
so much, though, because I was
getting plenty of sleep during the
cl*****,
“And now I come to what I think
you all want to know, about cheat

all know how it is. If I wAnt! to

going to have to have sor ie pretty
