Next Bitter Bird To Stress Humor
The Bitter Bird magazine will put more stress on humorous articles and short stories and less on pictures and straight features for the future, staff members decided recently.

Humor writers and cartoonists are still needed, and anyone interested is asked to call Shutz at 284. The next staff meeting will be held 7:15 p. m. Jan. 20.

OF BROKEN LINES
JANUARY
Students taking their mid-morning sitesta Wednesday in the Kansas room of the Union were somewhat perturbed when two uniformed furniture movers began pulling chairs and divans out from under them and loading the furniture on a van.
CLEARANCE
"The reason for this outrage." Mrs. Ethel Byrns, Union hostess said, "is that we are sending several chairs and two divans to a cleaning concern in Kansas City.

"Men's hair oil is our biggest trouble," she explained. "It soaks into the upholstery and after so long a time it rots the fabric.
"We have found that periodic cleaning lengthens the life of the cloth and cuts down on re-upholstering bills," she said.
