Question Boomerangs From Prof to Student
Pullman, Wash. (ACP)—It was an early meeting of an Army English class on the Washington State College campus. An officer candidate did not relish the idea of studying grammatical constructions. Politely but firmly the malcontent arose and inquired of Professor E. Buchanan, "Sir, can you tell me whether we have to take this English class during the whole gol-dinged nine months we're here?"
New York (CNS)—A very particular thief broke into a grocery here. When the manager opened up in the morning he found the cash drawer intact but three items were missing: Three cases of coffee, five tubs of butter, and 20 cartons of cigarettes.
Without turning a hair, Dr. Buchan commented: "There, gentlemen, you see a perfect example of the misplaced modifier. What this gentlemen obviously means is: 'Do you have to take this gol-ding English class the whole nine months you are here?'"

Yale Alumni Do Their Bit For Students
(by Associated Collegiate Press) Nathan Hale, Jonathan Edwards and other distinguished Yale alumni are doing their bit, 'too—to save the current crop of old Elis, especially ASTs and Aviation Cadets, from demerits.
It seems the alumni mentioned are now represented on the campus by statues placed near quadrangles. Some acute soldier discovered that the statues are hollow. Ergo, they have become the unofficial resting place for blitz clothes, shoe shine cloths, brushes, needles and threads, and what have you. The cadet or trainee standing a formation in the quad can reach in, pull out and shine as he runs.
Women students out-number the men at the University of Texas this fall for the first time in history. The normal proportion is two men to each woman, but in this war year, registration of women is 3,291 as compared to 3,155 men.
