On the Shin
By Walt Meininger
We are indebted to Dick Cochener for much of the following:
Drivel Concerning Droolers,
or
Thoughts while waiting for a sidecar
Thoughts while waiting for a sidecar
On the eve of vote-counting,
We offer these lines.
Our feelings exactly,
No matter who wins the damn
thing!
Td rather be a headache,
Fleeing bromo-selter,
Than be a politician,
Running here or elsewhere.
I'd rather be Pres. Mullen,
Or something even vainer,
Than be a politician,
Or even a campaigner.
I'd rather leave the guillotine,
A decapitated torso,
Than be a politician,
Or prexy even more so.
I'd rather be a mole hill,
Covering up a mole,
Than be a politician,
A heel without a soul.
I'd rather be a hooked fish,
Even a frying bass,
Than b e caampus big shot,
Crying for a pass.
I'd rather be a stand-in,
For Karloff or Lugosi,
Than be a politician,
With goal of B.M.Q.C.
I'd rather be a butterfly, Chased by entomologists, Than be a politician, A study for psychologists.
be rather be a Beta,
having baby pink and blue,
them be a politician.
Shorting like a gnu.
I'd rather be a steak fry,
In December, bleak and cold,
Than be a politician,
"Favors bought and sold."
I'd rather be caught smoking In the office of the Dean, Than be politician Painting dirty records clean.
I'd rather be a convict,
In K.S.P. of Lansing,
Than be a politician,
At K.S.U. and mud fling.
I'd rather be amaea,
Or any single cell,
Than be Pachacamac,
Or worse, P.S.G.L.

Twenty-three more designs for institutional chinaware of the "all-over" type were sent today to the Onondaga Pottery company of Syracuse, N.Y. This company bought 12 designs from University students last semester. The pay is at a rate of $10 for each design accepted.

Horsin' Around May Pay Ambitious Student's Way
This sounds easy, boys.
A family $2 \frac{1}{2}$ miles west of Lawrence, not a farm, left word at the Alumni association office in Frank Strong hall today for a student who likes to curry horses, one to be exact.
In exchange for taking care of one horse, and it might be a pony, along with a little yard work, a lucky student will be given room, board, and transportation to and from the University.
The chances are good for the work to continue through the summer and next fall. Call Marvin Goebel, student employment secretary, ior an interview.
