Genus Sissy And Species Thereof
The world, it seems, is full of people who are afraid of one thing or another, and a university campus is no exception. Almost everyone is a sissy of some sort.
First of all there is the intellectual sissy, who is afraid someone may find out that he isn't really another Einstein. This species may be divided into several branches.
One is the three-point sissy, who is afraid he may make a "B." He may be identified by his weak eyesight, perfect class attendance, and his habit of running to the professor's desk after each lecture.
Another is the political science, or "I've got my thumb on the pulse of the world" breed, who lives in constant fear that someone will remember his predictions about world affairs.
A third type is the avant-garde sissy, who really has less to worry about than the others of his species; if someone mentions a subject on which he is uninformed, he merely lifts an eyebrow and curls the corner of his lip.
At the opposite end of the scale is the common, or slob species of sissy, whose greatest worry is that with all these learned professors around he is liable to be tainted with a trace of education.
This species also can be subdivided. One subdivision is the classroom, or suspicious sissy, who is so afraid of being thought an apple-polisher that he clenches his fists and scowls whenever a faculty member comes into sight. This type can also be identified by the peculiar noise he makes, a series of profane comments ending with the name of a professor.
A second subspecies is the sophisticated sissy, who worries that someone won't consider him blase, if he doesn't criticize every action, policy, or regulation of the University and his school. He may be recognized at any local pub, but only sporadically in class.
Another type is the anti-culture sissy, who is terrified by the thought of literature, sculpture, painting, or music. He is suspicious of everything creative except popular music.
There are numerous other species which cannot be included here because of space limitations. Take a look and identify them yourself.

The Kansas State Collegian explains, "In late years victories for the Kansas State football team have been as rare as they have been for the Chinese Nationalist army." Surely the paper isn't hinting that the K-State reverses were caused by bribery and corruption of their top strategists.

Our favorite coed, Iva Latepaper, says that the guy she's going with now is a real gentleman. He has told her that he never talks about his girl friends until after he has stopped going with them.
Such technical advances as condensed milk or dehydrated carrots are fine but we wonder if science hasn't gone too far in this business of changing liquids to solids and vice-versa. For example, how about the press association story last week which read: "Not a drop of beer was brewed in St. Louis today as strikes shut down all four of the city's breweries."

Little Man On Campus
"They should do something 'bout that corner—I'll bet there's an accident there every afternoon."
This type of woman wouldn't help him much, Winch said, because the man needs a maternal type.
Hidden Traits Of Lovers Studied At Northwestern
"Not being conscious of this feeling," Winch said, "he might marry the clinging vine type."
The big problem of the study, Winch said, is finding out what a man or woman needs, but doesn't know is needed. The professor said he hoped to have at least tentative conclusions in about 18 months.
Evanston, Ill.,—(U.P.)-Dr. Robert F.
Winch explained today he is trying to uncover some hidden traits that lovers don't know they have.
Winch said the project involves studying 25 married college couples to determine their "hidden needs." Many women and men have unconscious demands that must be provided by their spouses, he said, or else the marriage goes on the rocks.
"For example," Winch said, "consider a man who, to outward appearances, is the aggressive, masculine type. Perhaps this man has unconsciously been using this display of masculinity to 'cover up' feelings of dependency he's had since he was a boy.
Winch, 40-year-old associate professor of sociology at Northwestern university, has been granted $12,096 by the Federal Security agency for the study.
Such study is needed, Winch said, because unfulfilled needs lead to frustration. He said that one of four couples married today in the United
States eventually will be divorced, and such studies may help to slow the rate.

Football Exploits
After watching the exploits of our football team for the past three seasons I'm beginning to wonder about a few things. Mainly—when are we going to win just one "blue chip" ball game under the tutoring of J.V. Sikes and staff? The best we have been able to do is beat the weak sisters on our schedules.
This also causes me to wonder why the University supports such a large coaching staff and keeps about 75 guys in loose change. If this arrangement can't win the important games (which I guess is why they are being paid) then why not de-emphasize football and play for laughs (something we haven't had)?
Or we might do this--send Sikes and his crew back to Georgia and get a Bill Meeks in to teach the boys a few tricks about defense, etc.
—Name withheld by request Ed. note—It looks so easy from the grandstand.

To Put Super Ceiling On Beef
Polls Say Churchill To Win
Washington—(U.P).The government may put a "super" ceiling price on cattle as part of its effort to enforce beef price controls, informed sources said today.
The ceilings would be designed to help prevent the kind of beef price violations that the office of price stabilization has found in more than one third of the slaughterhouses investigated. The violations generally involved upgrading of cathers and false weighing according to OPS. Slaughterers have overcharged customers in order to cover up illegal buying, OPS claims.
