THE BATTALION Page 2 College Station, Texas Thursday, July 18, 1968 John Me Carroll | ‘Hell you what Pd do” % The screaming-, milling masses (actually three people) have asked repeatedly what the title of this column denotes. Not that they have scoured the forests for pine knots so that they may light torches and climb the stairs to the Batt office, but it came to my attention anyway. For as long as I can remember, people have always had a better idea for everything I’ve ever attempted. Not that a little criticism can't go a long way . . . for the most part the suggestions offered are from those who never seem to have time to do the job themselves. Next to some of the unprintable words, the most oft’ heard phrase at a job-site is “tell you what I’d do.” The sad thing about the whole situation is that the people who re peat this never know that they are doing it. I’ve built fences, houses, bookcases and model airplanes. Painted pictures, walls, chairs and tables. No matter what I attempt, there is always that “tell you what I’d do” person lurking nearby—ready to offer assistance in the form of suggestions. Since I’ve heard it for so many years and have never had a real answer to give them except for some of those unprintable words, this column is dedicated to all those shade-tree mechanics and Monday-morning quarterbacks with great respect. ★ ★ ★ “The Phantom Creeps”, regularly showing at the Grove on Saturday nights, is a serial which is bound to be pretty good. Although I personally have never seen the serial, it seems to be hooked up ingeniously with other features at the outdoor theater to add extra drawing power. An example of some movies it has been shown with are: “A Tree Grows in Brooklyn”—“The Phantom Creeps”. “A Ravishing Idiot”—“The Phantom Creeps”. “Walk on the Wild Side”—“The Phantom Creeps”. “Major Dundee”—“The Phantom Creeps”. Some of the upcoming movies featured with the serial take some of the thrill out of the title-game. But here they are: “The Night Walker”—“The Phantom Creeps”. “Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea”—“The Phantom Creeps”. I never did pay much attention in English class when we carved niches in the wall of grammar for each of the words in the vocabulary, so I never have been able to put words in their proper perspective. What I would like to know now is how to distinguish between “Creeps” noun and “Creeps” verb. Some of the punch might be taken out of the title if I ever went to see it and found out it was just one phantom which creeps rather than the multitude of creeps which are phantoms that I visualize.
