Slip-Ups

Walt Meininger
Due to the libelous stuff the Funny Fellows downstairs turned out when they should have been working there has appeared a statement, supposedly signed by me, to the effect that I shall discontinue this column.
Also there appeared an insert in the want-ad column which asked that a literate person apply for the position. This too, is the work of the boys who practice their trade in our basement. (That ad will have to be naid for, too, I hope)
To make it a hey-day the boys went off the deep end and stuck Snitsbergen in this column.
Realizing the extent to which they carried their little joke, ha ha, the boys have been begging me for the past two days not to continue the legal action I have taken against them. I have agreed to drop the action since I realize that their day laboring incomes would hardly compensate me.
We ask our readers to please bear with us in helping our printing staff to learn the ropes. After, all these

I do not like barbers.
I do not like them individually or collectively.
The radio broadcast will be handled for the most part by Prof. Russell L. Wiley, director of the camp, and David T. Lawson, director of the Camp orchestra. This broadcast is from 1 to 2 o'clock every Monday afternoon at the Memorial Union ballroom.

Perhaps I am a rugged individualist, but somehow I have always clung to the precept that a man's hair is his own, at least that part which he does not care to have taken from him in a barber's chair.
There may be barbers who do not attempt to take more than is rightfully theirs, but I have not found them.

As a feeler, he invariably starts a conversation about the weather; greeting cheerfully to all volunteer statements by the customer—if any; and if there be none forthcoming, he furnishes his own rebuttal.
Then stealthily, he slips up behind your neck, armed with his trusty electric clippers, starting cautiously and working his way lustily upward until you wonder if he means to come on over the "dome"
