1- .1 Page 2 THE BATTALION Friday, February 11, 1955 On Campus with Max Qhuhm (Author of "Bar$fo6( Boy With Cheek,” etc.) Churches Set Sunday Services THE BULL SESSION I wonder if they still make bull sessions the way they used to. Well do I remember the bull sessions of my own undergrad uate days. How cogent they were! How informative! How the good talk crackled and our young hearts leaped and the hours sped by as swiftly as minutes! Our discussions were always led by Jack Femur. (Good old Jack! I hear he’s in the extruded aluminum game now.) We would sit cross-legged in a circle around Jack and he would fill his pipe with his own private blend — burley, latakia, and shred ded coconut. The rest of us preferred tobacco, so we would light up Philip Morris. This is a procedure I recommend without qual ification to everyone who prefers tobacco because Philip Morris has the tobacco that tobacco-preferers prefer the most — mild vintage leaf with a clean, cool flavor that soothes and steadies, that gladdens and enlivens and refreshes. Jack would puff on his pipe and we would puff on our Philip Morris and the bull-session would begin its meandering journey. The talk would touch on every subject known to man, on every conceivable thing beneath the sun, but no matter how far the conversation wandered, it would always return to “Topic A.” I refer, of course, to gardening. But, as I say, the discussion would cover many subjects before it came to the inevitable gardening. Jack would open each session with a provocative question of a general nature, like: “What’s the most important thing a man cjan get out of college?” “Girls,” Harold Clavicle would reply promptly. (Good old Harold! 1 hear he’s in the frozen lobster tail game now.,) “No, I don’t think so,” Ben Fibula would say. “I think edu cation is the most important thing you get out of college.” (Good old Ben! He’s still in school.) “Listen, guys, Pve got a question,” Clyde Ilium would say. “If you could spend a week either with Ava Gardner or with Albert Einstein, which would you choose?” (Good old Clyde! I hear he’s in the unclaimed freight game now.) “Albert Einstein, of course,” Will Mandible would say. (Good old Will! I hear he’s in the jack handle game now.) “What?” Cleanth Patella would cry, astonished. “You would rather spend a week with Albert Einstein than with Ava Gardner?” (Good old Cleanth! I hear he’s in the unclaimed freight game with Clyde Ilium.) “Natch!” Will Mandible would answer. “B-ut why?” Sol Sacrum would ask. < Good old Sol! I hear he’s a parking meter in Deal, New Jei’Sey.) “Because,” Will Mandible would cry, “if I spent a week with Albert Einstein, maybe I would get so smart that I would be able to figure out a waj r to spend vivre than a week with Ava Gardner!” Well sir, we laughed until our little uvulas were sore and then we went on to a host of other topics. “Do you think it’s im portant to join a fraternity?” Murray Tarsus would ask. (Good old Murray! I hear he’s in the mica game now.) “Only if you are a boy,” Bob Turbinate would answer. (Good old Bob! I hear he’s in the sheared raccoon game now. (The raccoon, incidentally, was invented by Milton Raccoon, whose career should be a source of guidance and inspiration to us all. Mr. Raccoon arrived in this country in 1907, penniless and not speaking a word of English. Today he is the Mayor of four of our principal cities.!) But to get back to the bull session —“What’s the best thing to do when the girl you are dqnc|ng with insists on leading?” Eric Ulna would ask. (Good old Eric! I hear he’s in the flutter valve game now.) “Hit her with a folded newspaper,” George Vertebra would answer. “Never hit a girl with your hand. They learn to associ ate the hand with food, and yoq must not confuse them.” (Good old George! I hear he’s in the fold e< i newspaper game now.) And so it went — the talk ranging the worlds of the arts and the sciences and the social graces, until we would climb, spent but happy, into our little hammocks ... I wonder if they still make bull sessions the way they used to. ©Max Shulroan.
