Here on the Hill
an account of Mt. Oread Society Kay Boxarth, Society Editor
Call KU-25 Anytime
April showers and driving winds on Mt. Oread today dampened Hill activities and sent students scurrying for shelter. But social festivities, which last night gave way to the anti-climax of the slow-moving political campaign, will have a mid-week rejuvenation in the hour dance in the Memorial Union ballroom with Dale Brodie's boys on the band stand. Engineers are still keeping their end of the Campus, as well as their queen, surrounded in a veil of mystery and a bevy of preparations for the Engineering Exposition and the $
Engineering Exposition and the Hobnail Hop.

Women Give Leap Year Advice
Mary Miller in the Co-eed leap year edition of the Purdue Exponent gives the following advice to girls who are out to get a man this year:
Stay away from fencers, because they will either parry your attacks or retreat from your advances.
You haven't a chance against runners either, because they will hurdle right over your pitfalls.
Golfers usually have such a strong drive that they will go through your strongest trap.
Good football men, who are great tacklers can crash any line you put before them.
When you start saying pretty remarks to a baseball player he will just hurl them to one side and go unscathed.
If you must get a man, you had better pick a student (the man who spends all of his time on the books). When you pelter him with your advance fire, he will be too bewildered to withstand all your charm because he doesn't know all the tricks of the trade.
A basketball man is always on guard for a fast break. They are too good on defense.
The Harriet Greissinger Brown collection of 200 books, presented to Spooner-Thayer museum last spring, has been catalogued and placed in the Thayer library. The books were collected by Mrs. Brown when she toured Europe and are concerned with travel, art, and architecture.

Ducats for 'Sing'n Swing' On Sale in Green Hall
Tickets for "Sing 'n Swing", the W.S.G.A.'s gal and gag production which opens in Fraser theater April 23, went on sale at the Green hall ticket office this morning amid repeated warnings that the musical comedy would be shown only three nights.
Mindful of the dozens who were unable to see "Holiday" when it played four nights last week, Jean Robertson, c41, emphasized today that students should reserve their tickets early for "Sing'n Swing" because of the three-night limitation.
Kentucky Coeds Tell Dislikes
The girls at the University of Kentucky recently published in the "Kentucky Kernal" a list of the things which they dislike about men:
"Their absence.
"Their habit of turning up with an extra man in tow and expecting you to produce a blind date, bang, like that.
"Their trick of using you as a battering ram on a postage stamp dance floor.
"Their happy confidence in their conversational ability which often as not is a lusty rendition of whatever they're majoring in.
"Their assumption of savoir faire (this for freshmen) and lugging you about on a gay round of fun when you suspect all along that it's their father's tux.
"Their shocked glances at spectacular fingernails, cigarettes, and anything with slightly more stamina than pink lemonade.
"Their phone calls at weird hours when you're either immersed in suds, batting your brains out over a mid-term or dressing for a date—with someone else.
"Their ill-corsealed disapproval when you regard their roommate with anything other than motherly affection.
"Their presence."
