Lewis Essay Contest Opens
Some student expert on applied Christianity will be given a chance this winter to cash in on his knowledge to the tune of $100.
With a May 1 deadline for this year's Hattie Elizabeth Lewis essay contest on applied Christianity, college essayers can spend those long winter nights making footnotes.
Announcement of the winners will be made at Commencement next spring, when the first prize of $100 the second prize of $75, and the third prize of $50 will be distributed.
Although the deadline for the essays is May 1, each contestant must hand in at the Chancellor's office, not later than April 1, a sealed envelope containing the real name of the contestant and a tentative outline of the discussion.
Three copies of the essay must be handed in and the papers must not be less than 5,000 words nor more than 10,000 words.
On the outside of the envelope must be written the assumed name of the contestant and the exact title of his essay.
The judging committee for the contest will be composed of Miss Myra Hull, instructor of English, Seba Eldridge, professor of sociology, Siegfried Mickelson, assistant professor of journalism, and Miss Elsie Neuenschwander, professor of romance languages.
The essay which wins first prize will probably be published if the committee considers the quality of the work sufficiently high.
HOW TO OBSERVE---
(continued from page one)
"Careful, Ferrats, a good beating hurts." Then by marking out a few words and letters she has the poser "Are rats good eating?"
If she tires of this she can always go on to the Flip-a-page, Skip-a-page. By flipping the pages until she comes to a sentence at the bottom of a right-hand page that is incomplete at a good spot—for example, "John his soul filled with peace and love towards all the world, rose from the Bible . . ." Here she flips the pages until she finds at the top of the left-hand sheet, some appropriate ending. Then she glues the intervening leaves together and it reads thus:
"John, his soul filled with peace and love towards all the world, rose from the Bible, kicked open the door, slammed his cowering wife against the kitchen cabinet, and smashed the lighted lamp to the floor. Boy was he drunk!" This is just a small part of what the former noisy pledge can expect. It doesn't disturb anyone but isn't it just too intriguing!
For those whose wits are a bit dim and must needs smell the peanuts before they'll believe it's an elephant, there is the Dipsy-Doodle trick. Write some snappy, piquant sentence such as "Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country" on the outside of the book. Then open it and the sentence is gone. Close it and there it is again. Open it—close it—well, you get the idea. It can go on for hours and often does.
As n last resort—and it should never be resorted to except as a last resort—there is always the Finale. The time killer rips out the even pages; then she rips out the odd pages; and then she settles back and studies the book.
