A GUIDE FOR THE DATELESS
With the cost of dating rising higher and higher (seems the only pleasure that costs the same these days is Philip Morris), it is no wonder that so many of us men are turning to discus throwing. Naturally, we would prefer nuzzling warm coeds to flinging cold disci, but who's got that kind of money? Prices being what they are, the average man today has a simple choice: dating or eating.
Unless the average man happens to be Finster Sigafoos.
Let me tell you how Finster Sigafoos, a man no smarter, no richer, than you or I, solved his dating problem. Finster came to college with the normal ambition of any average man: he wanted to find the prettiest coed on campus and make her his. He looked long and carefully, and at last he found her—a tall job named Kretchma Inskip, with hair like beaten gold.
He asked her for a date. She accepted. He appeared at her sorority house that night, smiling, eager, and carrying a bouquet of modestly priced flowers.
"Now then," said Kretchma, tossing the sleazy flora to a pledge, "where are we going tonight?"
Finster was a man short on cash, but long on ideas. He had prepared several attractive plans for this evening. "How would you like to go out to the Ag campus and see the milking machine?" he asked.
"Ick." she replied.
"Well then, how about running over to the dental school to fool with the drills?"
"Bah." she replied.
"Ban," she replied.
"Well, what would you like to do?" he asked.

"Come," said she, "to a funny little place I know just outside of town."
And away they went.
The place was Millionaires Roost, a simple country inn made of solid ivory. It was filled with beautiful ladies in backless gowns, handsome men in dickees. Waiters scurried about bearing costly eats on flaming swords. Original Rembrandts adorned the walls. Philip Morris trays adorned the cigarette girls. Chained to each table was a gypsy violinist.
Finster and Kretchma were seated. "I," said Kretchma to the waiter, "will start with shrimps remoulade. Then I will have lobster and capon in madeira sauce with asparagus spears. For dessert I will have loads of out-of-season fruit."
"Just bring me a pack of Philip Morris," replied Finster, "for if ever a man needed the soothing, steadying, beneficent aromas of mild vintage tobacco, it is me now."
"And you, Sir?" said the waiter to Finster.
aromas of mind village aromas So, smoking the best of all possible cigarettes, Finster watched Kretchma ingest her meal and calculated that every time her fetching young adam's apple rose and fell, he was out another 976. Then he took her home.
It was while saying goodnight that Finster got his brilliant idea. "Listen!" he cried excitedly. "I just had a wonderful notion. Next time we go out, let's go Dutch treat!"
Next time we go out we go to the house. By way of reply, Kretchma slashed him across the face with her house mother and stormed into the house.
"Well, the heck with her," said Finster to himself. "She is just a gold digger and I am well rid of her. I am sure there are many girls just as beautiful as Kretchma who will understand the justice of my position. For after all, girls get as much money from home as men, so what could be more fair than sharing expenses on a date?"
With good heart and high hopes, Finster began a search for a girl who would appreciate the equity of Dutch treat, and you will be pleased to hear that he soon found one.
Today Finster goes everywhere and shares expenses fifty-fifty with Mary Alice Hematoma, a lovely three legged girl with sideburns.

5 Students Win In Ad Contests
Winners were announced today in two advertising contests.
Kenneth Winston, journalism senior, was awarded a $25 saving's bond in an advertising campaign's competition sponsored by the James Dishwasher manufacturing company of Independence. Bill Taggart, journalism senior, won second prize.
The campaigns were worked out this past semester in the Advertising Campaigns class taught by James E. Dykes, assistant professor of journalism.
Winston's campaign was based on a national "Holiday for Housewives" contest. Television, magazines, and newspapers were recommended as advertising media.
Bill Slamin, journalism senior, won first place in the Direct Mail Advertising contest. Bill Taggart, journalism senior, and Taylor Rhodes, graduate student, tied for second place.
Students in the course worked on a semester long individual projects to solve some of the sales, merchandising, and advertising problems of the College Motel, located near the junctions of Highways 40 and 59. John Felsher, owner and manager of the motel, judged the entries.

Foreign Service Jobs Available, Popper Says
Slamin's entry included suggestions and layouts for specialized direct literature and outdoor advertising.
By LEE ANN URBAN
"There is a challenging opportunity for young people in universities to have a career in the foreign service," David H. Popper of the Department of State said during the United Nations conference held here Jan. 24-25.
Mr. Popper, director of the Office of United Nations Political and Security Affairs, tsated that the United States has not brought enough people into the foreign service in recent years so there are good opportunities now.
The examinations required by the foreign service are not "fantastic" as they used to be when applicants had to take a three-day test in Washington, Mr. Popper said. One-day examinations are now
In addition to serving with the Department of State, the foreign service employs represent the United States in international conferences and organizations such as the United Nations. They operate the first line of defense, travel, and they meet interesting people, he said. In Washington they help form the United States foreign policy, he added.
Mr. Popper suggested that the best preparation for the job is a general education with an emphasis on social sciences, international relations, and languages.
