THE YELLOW JACKET, January 31.1969
Page 3
By NANCY AHRENS
While gracing the earth we
all experience certain things
which for some unknown or
unwanted reason seem to stick
to our memory. One of these
is that one instant when we
feel the dumbest. For me of
course, my instant was slightly
longer. About now it should
have reached one hundred and
forty-six hours or since nine
o'clock last Saturday morning
when I decided to do the wash.
Beifig a helpful soul I also
* decided to do my roommate's
wash with mine. Not taking a
mathematical genius to figure
out that thirty-five cents is a
lot cheaper than seventy cents,
11 the clothes went into one
lachine. Like I said, it didn't
take a genius, and not being
a genius, I figured wrong.
This was to turn out to be the
most expensive cleaning job
ever made on those clothes.
After my allotted washing
time, the machine cut off and
I opened the door taking out
our new-looking clothes — all
blue. You've heard of the new
blue whiteners, well they've
got nothing on me. Now it
wouldn't have been so bad if
this had been my first blund-
er. But each time after our
pink, green, orange, purple,
and fellow clothes I have
promised it Will never happen
again. But in my roomie's™ first
words after each new color, '
"You did it again."
Looking at the clothes I felt
snore stupid than the time I
got caught in the tree at Cog-
gin Park and my suitemates
had to go get some strange
man and his ladder to get me
xk>wn. It was pretty bad. Af-
mm turning a clashing green,
^Tran down to the store to get
some bleach and remedy my
problem. But after a whole
bottle of bleach and lour
soakings nothing of signifi-
cance had happened except
that the blue had turned to
green and then yellow. So off
to the store I went again.
White dye is just what I need-
ed. But as usual the stores
didn't have "what I needed so
1 ended up with a color re-
mover. And I tried again. Two'
melted forks, one friend, and
lour burned fingers latfjr, I
gave up on that idea. There
was still one stubborn white
shell. Did I say white? Excuse
me, it was now a sort of yel-
lowish, grayish, beigeish color
with, white Spots. A generally
icky color. After another wash-
ing and drying it was off to
the cleaners to find out that
they close earlier than I
thought. So I put the blouses
out in the sun and anxiously
awaited ,M on day morning.
Bright and early Monday

morning I overslept and went
down to the cleaners to find
out that they don't dye things.
The lady promised to try some-
thing but it wouldn't be
ready until Wednesday. So
roomie makes her appearance
Monday afternoon. Consider-
ing there are two witnesses
sitting in my room upon her
arrival and others waiting
down the hall, what can I do?
Try to lie maybe? No, honesty
is the best policy, so after a
few stuttered words I didn't
have to tell her. "You did it
again. What was it this time?"
I told her. Patience is a vir-
tue.
"Boy, I'm glad I didn't want
that thing anyway." And now
I'll tell you whatsl think of
my roommate. She's sweet.
And besides that, she's the
biggest liar I know.
Jimmy Cox thinks I could
run for president and make
this and hippy haven-psy-
chodelic USA. With all the
experience I'm gaining, why
not?
It's always nice to know
that someone else is almost as
stupid as you. That must be
why I like Sandy Mills so
much. A few nights ago she
rah down to the third floor
phone to make a long distance
call to her boyfriend. With her
great talent she got stuck in
the booth. After some frantic
yelling, some poor soul had
pity on her and let her out....
If you don't think the mem-
bers of Gamma Beta Pi are
smart, figure out how out of all
the boys who showed up to
build Charles Switzer, the
Academy artist, a barbeque
pit, there ended up being mass
supervision and one worker.
There's always one who's slow
■ to catch on. . ,,
The Yellow Jackets really
burned their way to a blazing
victory of one point Monday
night in San Marcos; Tuesday
morning the Southwest Texas
gym was feeling "the-^ after-ef-
fects as it burned to the
ground.
Brenda Blanton is not only
a great bowler (beware: she
beat'me 105 to 89) but a. won-
derful conversationalist with
a lot to say that's worth say-
ing. I realized this Monday
night after I talked^with her
for three hours and site agreed
with, everything I said. Bril-
liant girl. At the end of our
discussion we thanked God we
were perfect and wondered if
He were laughing or crying at
all the hypocrites around us,
As the walrus who splashed
in spaghetti once said. ''The
weatherman may say warm
and, sunny, but we know bet-
ter." ■
