In Degree Battle
! /'[ \ ’ \By BIDDY LUCE
“What does this mean?” said the belligerent looking
graduating senior as he handed a white card to the man be
hind the mail behind the big door in the registrar’s office.
“It means,” replied Whispering Winn, that you need one
more credit hour to graduate this semester.
The wild-eyed senior drew his saber and ran his fOe
through like Douglas Fairbanks. Jr. Winn’s last words just
before rigor mortis set in were “you’ll never graduate!”
Each semester at Texas C&P there appears in the daily
student publication, The Ratrace, a notice for all graduating
seniors to file for their degrees. *
The seniors, with their rheumatism knees aching from
years and years of stair climbing, stage a footrace to the
Administration Building to fill out the little white cards. They
have come a long way, changing courses three or four times,
and most of them have accumulated at least 200 hours in
everything jfrojm atomic physics to animal husbandry.
Weeks pais! Then one by one the^ are called back to the
office of Whispering Winn who stays awake nights thinking
up ways to keep seniors from graduating. They relate to him
their sad stories about slaving for dear old C&P for so many
years and one grade point shouldn't make so much difference
in graauatijiuM <■ i v .
Whispering Winn smiles sadly and shakes his head.* He
has won again. No pink cards for that senior. What if he does
have a job waiting for him in June as vice-president of Stand
ard Oil? Shame on him for needing one grade point.
Think of it! He can stay another semester and eat in Club
Sbisa where baepn is only! 80 cents per molecule. Where else
could he get his laundry done where his shirts come back with
technicolor buttons on them (if any) ? 1
Year after year the battle of the B. S. degree goes on.
Some win; some lose. All those gray haired cripples trying to
get up the steps of the. Administration Building are not looking
for old age pensions. All they want to do is file for a degree.

Using a plot that, has served as
the framework for mahy it past

u melodious mixture of zing, zest,
and girl-next-door ^armth.
The lightweight story, full of
complications and corn, is of the,.
Cinderella vintage. Miss Day, a
female disc jockey, is discovered
by publicity man, .lack Carsan,
who is hot in pursuit of a new
personality to sell to a frustrated
sponsor, S. Z. Sakall.
^Suffering the usual bough break
at first, Doris gets! a break when
egotistic crooner Loe Bowrtian hits
the bottle and can^t do his show.
She is substituted for him, and
from then on rises meteorically to
fame, while Bowman rapidly slips
to the bottom. After- carrying the
torch for Bowman for quite a while
she finally discovers his everything
for me character at|d tuyns to Jack
Carson, who’s been waiting aroundT
all the time. i
