The Editor Gets Serious
Editor of the Thresher :
Dear Sir: , 1 ' ,
1 won't waste any time with prelim-
inaries but just throw myself body and
soul into my new idea. 1 think it would
be awfully nice if we boys at Rice Ih-
situation formed a FLASH GORDON
BOYS' CLUB. Of course there is the
RALLY CLUB, but it is a purely secular
organization with no emphasis on the
promotion of clean, young American
manhood. There comes a time in every-
one's life when he comes face to face
with some corpuscular coagulating crisis,
and it is my desire to be the father of
an organization which will fit young men
to meet such rituations clean-lnside-well-
aut«ide-«nd*looki-it. Thus I would have
each lad trained in the use of ray guns,
disintegrators and poisonoui gas dis-
pensers. At each meeting thirty minutes
will be devoted to target practice with
Phi Beta Kappas who are tired of it all
lined up against the wall. By this time
the Phi Beta Kappas will have given
out and we will start in with the Lit-
erary Societies, locking them in air-tight
chambers and flooding the said chambers
with the newest noxious fumes known
to science, and in such a manner we will
soon determine the most potent of the
toxic gases. And then there is such a
thing as kilting two birds with one
boulder. But these ocupations are just
minor side issues of what we will really
do and in our happy and humane little
meetings I am hoping there will grow
up a spirit of comradeship and fraternity
that will make our MEN, each armed
with a trusty ray gun and disintegrator,
Stand out as hair on the chest of hu-
manity. Please print this letter so that
all boys interested in joining the FLASH
GORDON CLUB can get in touch with
me so I'll know how many ray guns and
disintegrators to order so we can get
started without further delay.
Sincerely yours,
Hazeltine,

Editor the Thrtsher:
I have {allowed with great interest
the comment* pro and con on mo-
mentoui questions which have appeared
in your letter column, and have con-
cluded that the R.F.D. which appears
above this epistle stands not for Rural
Free Delivery, as a first thought, but
for Robert's Fun Department.
I notice that almost without excep-
tion, no matter how silly the tetters you
receive have been, and I will admit you
have received some silly ones, you have
managed to write a sillier answer.
Now I am going to fix this letter so
you can't help but give it a serious an-
swer. How do you ever expect anybody
to write you a sincere opinion on any?
thing when you never fail to turn every-
thing into hash a concrete mixer couldn't
produce? Nobody wants to be made fun
of, and in the face of your ingenuity for
chopping things into little bitty pieces
and mixing them all up, nobody dares
to try to write something above ridicule.
So this letter is a test. 1 demand that
you answer it seriously, to prove that
you can answer a letter seriously. I real-
ize that 1 am sticking my neck out for
all kinds of funny replies, but unless you
are serious no student or professor will
want to write you an honest letter.
And if you do answer it seriously,
what can you say?
Have. I got you?
Sincerely yours,
JOK STUI'TULK.
Dear Joe;
The letter that I received from you
is typical of all others that are sent
in. They are usually for the purpose
of putting us in a spot from which I
am not supposed to be able to emerge.,
I admit that no one likes to be
made ftin of, much less I, but if they
leave themselves open, what is to keep
There seems to be at least one up-and-
coming poet in Texas U.. Shelley W.
Shpvelpuss by name. Below is an excel-
lent example of his work:
Invictus
It matters not how long it grows,
How charged with ridicule the "Ha's!"
1 am the master of my nose,
I am the captain of my schnozz.
The Divily Texan, Austin.
