On the Shin
By Walt Meininger
God's white mantle came to Orad today to croak a batch of croci. And put the squitch on some long-planned steak fries.
Huck Wright listened to the radio; heard that the best letter requesting a song each week would win first prize, a diamond ring. Wright wrote a letter; requested "I've got a pocket full of dreams."
Roommate Bill Gordineire heard the program; saw the letter; put two and two together.
Schiller Shore and Gordineine manufactured a diamond ring from an old piece of glass, a beat-up setting; post marked the box, New York; planted it in Huck's mail box.
Wright grew apoplectic with excitement; rushed the ring to the jewels for appraisement.
Now he tells friends of his good fortune; says he sold the ring for $50.
Gordineire and Shore sit back complacently; listen to him blow; remember the song requested, "I've got a pocket full of dreams."
One of the better attention attracters in political propaganda: the Petty girl who thinks she can vote for Bill Farmer. "Tis said the offices of the administration have pronounced the poster vulgar.
Another silly rule: If you try to get a book on reserve at the library and it's checked out, the attendants are instructed not to give out the name of the person who has it. So if you want to know whether the student in questions plans to keep the book out all night you must stand by the desk and wait until he checks it in.
This means spending a good part the evening lying in wait for a ok.
Why don't they tell you who has the book? Then you could ask the individual what he plans to do with it.
After all, if there is that much demand for a book it must be pretty close to quiz time. And quiz time is no time to be waiting around for a book that you can't have anyhow.
A campus flash in the reflector, says he has been making $300 a month on pictures for a nearby metropolitan paper and that he made $250 during the premiere.
Men Start Work On New Dorm
Bowlus's apartment couldn't be reached some time ago for confirmation because the telephone has been disconnected.
Workmen of the J. T. Constant construction company are excavating for the ground floor, and digging holes for the piers of the new Battenfeld dormitory on the Alumni home property.
The main entrance of the new three-story building will face the east, according to A. E. Nelson, suitointendent of the workers. The building itself will be 92 feet by 37 feet, with brick walls and slate room. No basement will be under the house. The seven rooms on the ground floor will be a dining room, sitting room, matron's room, recreation room, two storage rooms, and
a bath. At each end of the second story, which is composed of study rooms, a door opens onto a porch deck.
The third floor will have three study rooms and one big sleeping room.
