We Are Co-Disgusting
Read This First
Atta
Girl,
Murph!
BY CORDELIA MURPHY
Hey, men, we're on a rampage! We're not in the mood to sweetly say, "Please fellows, do us a favor." No, our condescending natures are past history, and now we're really mad!
Frankly, we're all worked up about you creatures who come to school day after day decked out in those fashions of "anything goes," or "what the hell do I care."
It doesn't take an eagle eye to notice approximately two thousand male creatures during the week attired in everything from sweaty sweat shirts to striped socks and plaid shirts.
More amusing but still an insult to our finer instincts are you virilis men in cowboy boots who have never ridden anything wilder than a tin jalopy.
We've been wondering if you have ever heard of that "new" invention called the razor blade. Obviously you consider it a dangerous weapon, but you don't need a license to carry one and it will alleviate that porcupine appearance beautifully.
Perhaps the men around here work on the basis of supply and demand. That is to say that where there is a colony of a few thousand females, a man of any description is always in demand. Well that point will not be argued. But, dear Mr. Object-in-Demand, why not give us a square deal.
Don't be disillusioned at this, but we spend more time getting dressed for classes than we do for a date. After such laborious preparation, we hate to encounter such atrocieties as are beyond the power of description.
You can't deny the fact that you purr sweetly in our ears or that you can't do without us.
If we're so important to you—and we think we are—how about a little cooperation. Then, men, perhaps the time will never come when you will have to do without us.
"Summer Jobs that are Different" will be the general topic of the Westminster Forum at Westminster hall at seven o'clock tonight, Principal speakers for the evening will be Wayne Replogle and Fred Truxal.
Replogle, Truxal Will Give Talks At Westminster

Scene at Frolic

K.U.Fashions
Around her hair she wore a wreath of flowers—ribbons, clips, or what have you. All sorts of glittering costumes were seen at the Freshman Frolic Friday.
Shirley Henry, Gamma Phi, brightened the ballroom with a scarlet corduroy gown; the fullness was gathered just beneath a sweetheart neck; sleeves were three quarter length.
A dress of Grecian design was worn by Claudine Scott. It was turquoise satin, gathered top, tightly fitted bodice, and a full skirt.
Janet Hines, Kappa, was seen in a black and champagne satin dress, with matching black satin evening shimmers.
Nadine Hunt, Corbin Hall, was seen wearing a peach taffeta with a square neck and an inset of lace.
Black seems to have predominated. Gloria Goff donned black moire taffetta, trimmed in velvet, and tucked a gardenia in her curls. Mark Kay Brown, Chi Omega, wore black net, which was set off with gold beads, while Peggy Davis, Theta, had a contrasting white brocade top with diamond sequins intermingled.
Joan Basore, Delta Gamma turned to black taffetta for an evening skirt and a turquoise satin blouse, trimmed with gold sequins. Black velvetteen for the top and taffetta for the skirt, with a large strand of knotted pearls, was worn by Sarah Jane Wilkerson. Pi Phi
Ruth Krehbiel, Corbin Hall, wore a white taffeta skirt with a perky red corduroy jerkin.
Paula Reeve, Kappa, wore, not flowers, but two striking gold clips in her hair. Her dress was lavender, tooled in pink, and on the skirt was a large rose. Her jacket, with three quarter length sleeves, matched the dress.
Ann Adams, Pi Phi, fairly floated in a red chiffon gown, with low basque and a full skirt. She had a matching red wool coat with gold sequins sprinkled on it.
Speaking of wraps, all kinds—from the good old reversible to theermine-hooded cape—were seen
Women are not the only ones who have fashion shows—the men had theirs too—in a private way!
PHI DELTA THETA . . .
dinner guests Thursday were Jean Popham, Virginia Scott, Ed Andrisovitch, Walt Verbanek and Junius Penny.
*Refutation?
Atta Boy, Ostrum!
BY DEAN OSTRUM
Hey you gals, hold on there!
Was it Mrs. Roosevelt or Aristotle who said, "People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones?" Women always have been known to talk too much, but libelous slander of this nature has got to stop.
So you women don't care for our dress—our fashions of "anything goes?" And why should you when you come stereotyped in dozen lots: skirts, flats, sweaters—and oh yes, that strand of imitation pearls. The way some of those sweaters fit is a disgrace to Lana Turner.
The misinformed man who said woman was a harmless thing had yet to see a swivel-hipped tigress weaving down the steps of Gamma Gamma coolly clad in a backless-strapless contraption with finger nails dripping with gore, smiling her sweetest, thirty minutes late for her date.
So you'd rather we wouldn't wear those "awful" cowboy boots when we've never been on a horse? How about those cheap replicas of white Indian moccasins you sport?
You'd rather we'd throw aside our sweat shirts and shave once in a while? Women are fickle! Several years ago they clamored for that cave-man stuff.
This constant "re-paint and varnish" job gets mighty monotonous when out on a date. It's an experiment at best, and if a fellow can recognize his girl after each rejuvenation, he's a better man than most.
It has been said that the average college girl eats off, licks off, and wipes off three pounds of lipstick each school year. Just think what it must be doing to their stomachs!
"Bags weren't built for guys like
No, girls, we prefer to jog right along in our little rut until you get out of yours. Basically, you'll do, but until things change—
I'd any time a bachelor be!"

Delta Phi Sigma Pledges Four
Delta Phi Sigma, Congregational sorority, held pledging services Friday for Jane Miner, Ruth Anderson, Frances Butterfield, and Cecilia Goncalves. There was a Halloween party in the parish house after pledging.
Women turned the tables on the masculine set last night as they brought their dates to the Jay Janes' Vice Versa dance. The Men's ego was certainly lifted, as there were quite a few stags "looking over" the situation and finding a suitable partner for dancing to Clayton Harbur's band.
With palm trees waving in a South American breeze, and red-tiled roofs peeking through the foliage, Spanish senorita and senors danced La Conga to the music of Russ Chambers and his orchestra last night at the Sigma Alpha Epsilon house. Guests were Ruth Rice, Jill Peck, Betty Barnett, Diana Irvine, Nancy Munger, Virginia Gear, Jo Hodges, Anne Bowen, Patty Armell, Mary Flint, Betty Jane Hamilton, Marjorie McKay, Nancy Clark, Lois Elaine Willcuts, Leta Nell Marks, Bobbie Brietwieser, Bonnie Townsend, Mary Fauline Feder, Sally Connell, Shirley Binford, Shirley Kernodle, Peggy Miller, Jean Ott, Elizabeth Peairs, Billie Jarbose, Becky Lou Trembley, Jane Stites, Betty Deal, Barbara Benton, Merlin Rice, e Peggy Schraeder, Barbara Briedental, Frances Schlosser, Nancy Jane Peterson, Margretta Stuart, Barbara Winn, Nancy Walters, Mary Louise Isgrig, Norma Lee Anderson, Janey Row, Helen Wilkins, Christine Turk, Mirian Jessen, Jane Veach, Marily Casebier, Virginia Scott, Margaret Anne Reed, Teddy Comley, Marjorie Siegrist, and Marjorie Snyder.
