OPA Bans Auction Of Rationed Food
Chicago, (INS)—Residents of the fashionable north shore community of Glencoe surveyed such bargains as three pairs of nylon hose for $11,-000 and a sack of dog food for $5,000, their lone disappointment being that the OPA had stepped in to stop the sale of rationed foods.
What they would have paid for an Easter ham, canned salmon or other delicacies one can only guess.
The orgy of buying was staged at an auction in the Glencoe theater, the articles being paid for in war bond purchases after the 1,000 or more in attendance had paid their admission by buying $2 in war stamps. Reserved seats were sold only to those who would guarantee a minimum bid of $500.
Various food items had been contributed by grocers, but before the bidding started representatives of the Office of Price Administration arrived to serve notice that rationed foods could be bought only by the surrender of ration coupons.
Signal Trainees To Be Here April 29
The second class of signal corps trainees will begin a six-month course offered jointly by the department of physics and electrical engineering April 29, according to J. D. Stranathan, chairman of the department of physics.

After the students have finished the course they will be sent to Wright Field to work on highly technical radio equipment.

A Phi Beta Kappa man: "Mike Humphreys, Sig Alph and naval reservist says he has preferred the intellectual type of female ever since the night he asked his date if she could see her way clear to interdigitating with him, and found himself slapped and deserted.
The girl Mike was with had a .512 grade average and thought the pastime he suggested was a great deal more involved than hand holding.

Beautiful but dumb: As of one afternoon last week when the two were riding in the country, Betty Lou Perkins, Chi O, has been trying in some tactful way to break the news to Danny Bachmann, Sigma Chi, that his I. Q. isn't in all probability what its cracked up to be.
On the afternoon, Danny swerved his ear purposely to hit a skunk. Upon missing, he jammed on the brakes and dived into a clump of bushes after the animal.
Danny returned, to a stricken Betty Lou, about 10 minutes later, and announced dejectedly that "it got away." He thought he'd been chasing a possum.
