on the SHIN by Virgil Mitchell
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1937
Expose: For the benefit of the readers we are exposing Gene Lloyd, K.U. racket man all of long standing. We want all three of you to know that Gene is trying to get a corner on all the "Vodka Vests" in town so as to make some creature fall over. The conditions cool down to where there will be a demand for back-to-the-soil fed. Lloyd is about 5 feet, 7 inches tall, and is five pounds overweight. His complexion is dark and he has a most uncomfortable look in his eye. If you see this man, cross the street.
Shinning around: The A.T.O.'s now have a radio station as well as a station wagon. Seems as though the boys want to get closer to the campus. Someone suggested that they might start attending classes from those of Brick's and other hangouts to the Crimson and the Blue—Fred Littty has once again become a victim of circumstances. This time the blame goes to Doris Johnson, Kappa slayer of men, who inveigled the Beta model into the Cottage for the afternoon jam session. Perhonen was very popular, a hot spot was blacklisted by the Beta's who think it below their dignity to mingle with the common hoipoi Now the ice is broken?
Idea: Wonder if Sally Joe Dempsey could tell the difference between her Barley and Bob McNaughten? —Daisy Hoffmann can't sing and so she won't try. Wish some of the other gals were that way inclined. —Erke of the Pi Pb!s is on the loose since Townley got interested in the charms of the big city.—Jim Bradford sings as a blues player, though they old sentiment ditties about "being somebody's sweetheart." —Daffynion Fan Dancer: A mudist with a cooling system.
Things are getting back into the old swing, what with the mid-week last night story can be the case for the library. The stag line was the longest ever formed this
