Bachelors, Beware of This Saturday
By Susan Hartley
Eligible men in Dogpatch, U.S.A., might shake in their bones at this time of the year when Sadie Hawkins Day draws near, but KU men don't seem too worried.
Sadie Hawkins Day? "I've heard of it, but what is it?" one student asked.
If KU were Dogpatch, those would be dangerous words, and the poor boy would soon end up some speedy girl's husband without being able to do very much about it.
This Saturday is the day!
For 27 years now, Sadie Hawkins Day has provided unmarried Dogpatch women who are characters in Al Capp's comic strip "Li'i Abner," with an opportunity to obtain husbands by catching the community's eligible men in a foot race.
The fateful day is always towards the end of November, and prior to this time unmarried citizens of Dogpatch of both sexes, and
of all ages, practice their foot-racing techniques. They also scout the countryside, the men looking for places to hide out, and the women for places to find the men they have their eyes on.
ALL BACHELORS are fair game, and all unmarried citizens of Dogpatch are eligible to enter the competition. There are only two requirements—one that the participant be unmarried, and one that he be a citizen of Dogpatch.
Involved in Sadie Hawkins Day preparations in the current strip is Nightmare Alice who has been turned away from the booth where the women who want to enter the race have to register. Although she is quite unmarried and quite willing, she is not a citizen of Dogpatch and she refuses to become one because of her loyalty to her unnamed prince.
However, Alice hasn't given up completely, for there are still five days until the race, and in "Lil' Abner," anything can happen and anything usually does.
