On the Shin

The sisters at Alpha Chi must have had a chuckle last night listening to Mary Frances Nelson and Katy Ann Sewell lamenting that slip made in answer to the writer's salutatory interrogation yesterday. Slips like that are one in a million, but what a slip that was!
The New Yorker magazine opines that the appointment of Bertrand Russell as professor of mathematics and philosophy at City college (promptly attacked by Churchmen) carried with it the danger that he might upset the morals of youth, and maybe the multiplication table. All we have to say it, "what kind of an insinuation is that?"
We are informed that during 1930 a total of 20,800,000 telephones were in operation in the United States. Plausible wager is that at least half of them might have been Pi Phi phones.
And down at Louisiana State University the other day professors were tapping natural gas from the water spigots and water from the gas jets. Some mixup. It appears that the courses L.S.U.'s plumbers took must have taught more about "Free Love and Bathroom Romances" than about plumbing.
We expected this—as much as you did. D.U.'s Bob Guy was rushed home early a few nights ago by "throb sister" Betty West, of Gamma Phi Beta, who wished to have more time to study for a tough 8:30 quiz the next morning. Laugh now: she didn't go to the quiz after all. Guy is East and West is West—and never the twain shall meet.
Another funny thing about L.S.U. better late than never: during the probe of ex-president James Monroe Smith's fraudulent activities, his wife reputedly declared, "We is not guilty." To which Ted (San Francisco Examiner) Cook added this bit:
"We is not guilty; we was framed. It's other folks had oughta be blown
blamed.
We didn't take nothing, I'm telling you true;
Not even grammar, at L.S.U.."
While U.C.L.A.'s paper criticizes our smoking violation penalty—expulsion for 3-time losers. Well okay, then, "Figs from Thistles", plans are now afoot to lift the ban, penalties and all, in celebration of Kansas' basketball victory over U. S.C. the other night.

310 Take Exams For Summerfields
The preliminary examinations of the Summerfield scholarship contest and the girls' scholarship contest were held here and at eight other points over the state last Saturday, Olin Templin, secretary of the endowment association, announced yesterday.
One-hundred twenty four girls and 310 boys out of the 478 nomination took the test. Girls will not appear for the Summerfield finals to be given here April 22 and 23. The results of the test will not be ready for three or four weeks.
Civilization In America Placed at 25,000 Years
Cambridge, Mass. (U.P.)—Civilization in North America is nearly 25,000 years old—not a mere 5,000, as previously supposed—two geology professors, Kirk Bryan and Louis L. Ray, report
Stone implements were found in the fossils of prehistoric monsters in the Lindemmeier Valley of Colorado and the Harvard professors were called in to set the age of the men who used them.
According to Bryan, the "culture layer in which the relies were found" was related to a definite geologic event which occurred 25,000 years ago and thus "dates" the implements.

Long Distance connections are made (on the average) in about 90 seconds. Quality of transmission is the highest ever. Improvements are constantly fitting the service more and more closely to the public's needs.
When you turn to Long Distance telephone service, you're "there and back" in record time.
No wonder people turn to Long Distance about 2% million times a day! In business and social life, it's one of America's most reliable and economical short cuts.
Why not telephone home often? Rates to most points are lowest any night after 7 P.M. and all day Sunday.
