Two Smooth-Talking Hucksters Are Exiled From The Campus
By RITA RONEY
Is he a talent scout with a contract ready to be signed, a researcher for George Gallup, or just a fresh character loaded with nerve?
These thoughts flashed through my mind as the slender young man strode toward me from the car which had screeched to a halt in front of the Union.
"Pardon me, Miss, but are you a regular student at the University?" he asked.
A muffled "Yes" was the only reply I could muster. "And of course you are interested in fashions, aren't you?" his smooth voice continued.
"Now brace yourself," he beamed, "you won't believe me. It's a coke a week or a beer a month—just 20 will buy, both of these magazines."
Being somewhat financially embarrassed, I naturally wanted to know "How much?"
"How would you like to have Mademoiselle and Charm magazines for three years at an amazingly low cost?" he purred.
Since there was no flattery in the young man's proposition, I muttered excuses and tried to break away.
As my eyes grew wider in bafflement, I could only manage to nod my head.
But by this time he had my name and was ready to write the receipt. Through some miracle I was able to convince him that I was unable to pay 12 bucks for the magazines at that particular time.
He thanked me and went back to his car. His partner stepped on the gas and the 20-mile-per-hour sign swayed in protest as they passed.
Once more on my way to class, I noticed the hucksters in their car before the statue of "Ucle Jimmy" Green. Archie, the faithful, green-uniformed, "campus cop," was leaning on the running board firing questions at them.

Pulling my head deeper into my coat collar, I walked rapidly past them and went to class. But curiosity caused me to ask Archie a few questions later.
He told me that law prohibits salesmen from soliciting on the University campus without a special permit. Given a description of the men selling magazines, the campus policemen were instructed to request their speedy departure.
Know what? I'm awfully glad I didn't give up that beer a month for the next three years.

Man Searches Alaska, Africa For Ring
Paul Harvey, 24, the man who did' the traveling, says it's "wacky, yes,- but wonderful."
Hollywood—(U.P.)Pretty Lorraine Kana, 25, finally got her engagement ring today after her boy friend travelled from Alaska to Africa for it. And you'll never convince her Hollywood is not wacky!
Paul has flown 34,000 miles in the past three weeks—all for free—and if you'd have asked him a month ago he would've told you a trip to Nairobi, Africa was the last thing on his mind.
Lorraine and I have been engaged over a year," he said. "But I'm a singer. And jobs are scarce. I couldn't afford to buy her a ring."
Then one night they took in a "Truth or Consequences" broadcast and Ralph Edwards asked for contestant who were engaged. That's when Paul got into the globe-trotting act.
I told Mr. Edwards I couldn't buy Lorraine a ring until I got a job," he said. "And the next thing I know I'm on a plane for Juneau, Alaska to go prospecting for sold.
And—with a little help from the "Truth or Consequences" staff—he found some. A nugget big enough to fit inside his hand and a setting for an engagement ring.
"Five days after I got home from Alaska I was off again," he said. "This time for Africa."
M. G.M. studios sent me over to find a rough-cut diamond where they shot 'King Solomon's Mines.' Again the prop boys did their work well. Paul found a big one.
"Looks a little like frozen milk now," he says. "But they tell me when it's cut down It'll be a real big sparkler."
Paul had himself quite a time in Nairobi. He went big game hunting near Lake Victoria and bagged two
