Dandelion Digging Days Bring Students to Knees
Bv SHIRLEY PIATT
Dandelion digging duties brought students and faculty to their knees in 1941 in a combined effort to eliminate pesky posies and beautify the campus.
University authorities proclaimed an all-school holiday on April 23,1941 because of an excessive number of dandelions covering the Hill. Students cooperated by organizing into 85 teams, each led by a faculty member, to destroy the fields of gold.
A carnival and street dance followed the extermination of the dandelions from the campus. A dandelion king and queen reigned over the ceremonies.
News of the dandelion day travelled all over the country and brought Look and Life photographers to the scene.
F. A. Russell, professor of civil engineering, divided the campus into 75 districts. Organization, he said, would aid in the quick extermination of a floral display estimated at 18,750,000 dandelions.
Former Chancellor Dean W. Malotte made an address at the festivities in which he said that despite the official report that 49 tons of the dandelions had been dug, he estimated that there could have been no more than 45 tons. He said some tonnage had to be discounted as dirt, about 200 pounds should be discounted for rocks, and a little more than 100 pounds for the live Theta tied up in a sack.
The following year, the student council voted 12 to 7 against student participation in the dandelion day since an all-school holiday could not be granted.
Undaunted, 250 faculty members carried on the "pastural" symphony while students watched. Former Chancellor Mallot, wearing the latest thing in the way of dandelion duty, a red plaid shirt and blue jeans, was quite easily noticed by onlookers. Another prominent figure, Laurence Woodruff, dean of men, was head of digging operations.
In 1946 students offered their weeding services again and a large picnic was planned for those participating. University officials and students turned out in large numbers to destroy a large crop of dandelions. Cooperation saved the University an estimated $1,400 in
labor in exchange for 90 minutes of class time.
The activities of dandelion days nearly eliminated the small golden plants from the campus. Today the job belongs to building and grounds employees, who have only to spray to make the poses fade away.
Scissors Make Best Revisions
"Clip your paragraphs after typing your story and rearrange them to create a more effective article." Miss Frances Grinstead, associate professor of journalism, recently advised a class in feature writing.
To the college student that is a very easy and inexpensive thing to do. But long before typewriters were invented and put into general use, Anatole France, French novelist and satirist, was, at inconvenience and high cost, setting a precedent for dismembering and rearranging a printed manuscript.
France first wrote out his novels laboriously in longhand, revising copiously as he went along. Then, for a good sum, he hired a printer to set up in type the revised draft of his written manuscript.
The printed copy he again worked over at length, using scissors and a pot of glue far more than his pen. Paragraphs, sentences, phrases he clipped to his liking until the final result bore little resemblance to the original copy, but has achieved the artistry and finish he desired.
It is said that Anatole France's "Thais" when printed for publication had the original ending at the beginning, the opening paragraphs at the close.
Foundation Covers Blemishes
To cover a blemish, pat on a tinted foundation a little darker than your skin; blend in the edges with pats too. The secret is patting—not rubbing. One foundation, especially made to hide small blotches, comes in a handy stick-container.

If your lipstick smears, change your painting method. Be sure your lips are dry and free from oil, and then powder lightly around them. Draw a clear outline; a lipstick brush makes this easy to do. Fill in with color, wait two minutes; then blot lips thoroughly. Result, no smudges.
New Painting Method Needed
Brush Best for Eye Shadow
Take a tip from the fashion models.
Use a lipstick brush to apply eye shadow; it's fine point keeps you from putting on too much. Use a finger tip to blend the color till it's barely perceptible.
LAWRENCE
It's a good idea to give umbrellas a thorough shampoo from time to time. The bathtub is as good a place as any. Open the umbrella and brush it to remove dust or grit. Go over the outside and inside with a soft brush dipped in thick lukewarm soapsuds. Give extra attention to creases. Next turn the shower on to rinse it, or pour clear water over it. Leave it open to dry.
