On the Shin
By BUXTON, MEININGER
Here we go again! Every now and then in this column we say "we" and we do mean "we." In other words, we're not talking about two other fellows as it would seem to one familiar with the editorial "we." We are giving your the straight stuff; "We" are Reginald Buxton and Walter Meininger.
Reason this is brought up is that a paper recently quoted the "Shin" and referred to the conductors of it as "Buxton Meinginger, bright young conductor—" So before we are offered a contract with the Ringling Bros. to go on exhibition as the only living Siamese columnists in captivity, let's all get it straight that we are really "we."
And still another correction: It wasn't Tilde Fowler alone at whom the Missouri boys were casting slurring remarks last Friday night. The Right Side of Our By-Line's haircut, or rather the haircut he didn't have, came in for a little razzing too.
Our apologies, Missouri, and may Quantrill remain your worst gentleman!
You can't even trust your better-half in this gossip racket. He was afraid we'd make fun of him and his haircut so what do we get: a lot of chivalrous tripe about his girl being insulted. We're digusted! And we don't mean "we."
You've all heard that feminine malarkey that goes something like this: "I've just washed my hair and j-u-s-t don't know what to do with it." Well, a Chi Omega pulled it on her date at Brick's the other night and he came back with "Yeah, well I washed my
hands and I just don't know what to do with them." (Screams.)
Sour Owl's "Confessions of a Coed" didn't confess anything a man could not find out for the price of a coke. "She'll get down to brass tacks next issue," promises The Rake Robertson.
Yes, Jimmy, and if she does you can bet your cowboy boots against our chances for the Pulitzer prize that Henry Werner will be getting down to his brass knuckles.
Good scout Sea Scout Bill Overton brags about the big whaling ship Topeka keeps in riggings for his troop. Next to trying to raise a wheat crop that is the silliest thing we've ever heard of in Kansas—and dangerous too. Let F.D.R. hear about it and he'll be wanting to send them a brace of dreadnaughts to keep painted.
Side-lights: C. H. Mullen, always for the "underdog", plays a marble machine, resting it on his toes to even up the odds.
Hillville Bugle Notes: Gene Kuhn, Ken Postlethwaite, Bill Koester, Eldridge King and a group of friends intend to start for Finland as soon as the spring season is over to join the Finnish forces. Roscoe Born and Gerald Banker will accompany them as far as Vipuri where they will go by ski's to Moscow to visit some friends.
Dear Shin:
What do you think Harry Hill knows about women's politics? F.Y. Dear F.Y.:
Approximately two-bits worth more than Miss Meguiar does.

Medic Amputates Barking Canine's Vocal Cords
Here's one for the books—a dog whose bite is worse than his bark. And then again, maybe you (if you've been placed both in an embarassing and painful position by a dog's bite) wil admit that fact, and snap "so what!" at us. But we'll carry on, for there's a story behind this little bit of reversed philosophy.
By Bill Koester, c'41
James Hoopingarner, of Meriden, has had the unique job for two years of keeping persons living near the campus safe from dogs whose barks are worse than their bites. Hoopingarner, a student in the School of Medicine, found sleeping a problem—and so did his neighbors—because of the incessant barking of dogs in the University's dog pound, a project of the physiology department, which is located nearby. So something had to be done, and Hoopingarner did it.
Woof! Woof!---at the Dickinson theatre. You already know who is in this-picture so all we can add is this; illustrated is a bright spot in a bright picture.
He began and has continued performing the painless operation by cutting the vocal cords of the dogs, a service which has enabled him to finance his expenses in the School of Medicine.
Which goes to prove that the dumbjohn who said that a dog's bark is worse than his bite had better straighten out the matter with Hoopingarner—or suffer the consequences.

At least half a dozen women students (many of them at Corbin hall) have had telephone conversations recently with persons who were impersonating your Rock Chalker. The wolves in our clothing askel questions relative to Corbin's position in the coming women's election. But we have called no one. Yet the women seem worried sick. One member pleaded: "Why doesn't everybody leave our elections alone. Is Miss Meguiar finds out we'll all be in a mess. Lay off!"
