For Whom The Belles Loll
For John Urquhart
and Bob Saldlch
The gist of this is that we, jist
want to talk about marriage on ac-
count of because spring is here,—
the birds are chirping, the pollen is
flying, the dust storms are blowing,
radioactive fallout is on the nK-ease,
alcoholism is on the upsurge, ad-
diction is sweeping the grade
schools. And if all this isn't enough,
it's jest time to get married again.
All justing aside, spring breeds
brides, and our problem is to find
out why.
| The reasons for which so many
, people are on the verge in getting
1 married are:
! 1) Bound by moral and social ta-
boos.
! 2) To get someone to work while
' they go to medical school.
3) To get someone to wash dishes,
scrub floors, iron shirts, and bear
children.
4) To get someone to keep up the
payments on the yacht.
5) To get someone.

Of course, Some people marry for
love. Love is not mere physical at-
traction; often, there are financial
considerations, as we have ever so
subtly hinted in the above list. Still
this is not the whole story, as some
people would make it. Love is a ruse
invented by females. It is a process
by which we dewy-eyed innocently-
eager boys expose our inner cosmos
—only to have it ravished and des-
ecrated by iggnorant, slothful, fem-
inine sadists.
CONGRATULATIONS: To our
academic half-brothers, the cougars
for another successful Frontier
j Fiesta, "The Greatest College Show-

A Campus-to-Career Case History
Here Ed Chandler reviews Long Distance facilities between Atlanta and Lincoln,
Georgia, fie is working from a layout that shows all Long Distance lines in the state.
My
talked
me out of a job'
Ed Chandler had a good job all lined
up long before he graduated from
Georgia Institute of Technology as an
Industrial Engineer. But then he
changed his mind . . .
" When I got out of college in '50,1 was
all set to go M th a company I'd worked
for during a previous summer.
46 But then I got called up by the Army.
During the next two years I heard a
lot of good things from my Georgia
Tech classmates who'd gone to work
for the telephone company. As far as
I was concerned this was the best recom-
mendation any company could get.
"So when I got out of the Army I
stopped in to talk with the telephone
people. When I saw an outline of their
development program, I was sold.
"My first year took me through every
phase of handling and estimating costs
on telephone equipment from warehouse
to installation. I drew up plans for sev-
eral projects, then went out in the field
to see how they were carried out.
"Now I'm helping develop next year's
multi-million -dollar construction pro-
gram for Georgia. I've found it an in-
teresting and rewarding job."
In the engineering department of Southern Bell
Telephone & Telegraph Company in Atlanta, Ed
Chandler is moving along in his career. Hour Place*
ment Officer can give you details about similar op-
portunities with the other Bell telephone companies
like Southern Bell—also with Bell Telephone Lab-
oratories, Western Electric and Sandia Corporation.

inated by the council include the
twenty candidates for outstanding
Seniors and the following five:
Dickey Moegle, Kenny Paul, Dr. W.
H. Masterson, Albert Sundermeyer,
and John Urquhart.
Needless to «ay, Big Lou, who was
oversighted by this reporter last
week in the rush to go to press,
was nominated for the award. If
you have a worthy nominee, just
send a letter to Dean McBride; all
those nominated will be considered
by the committee.
Investigation by Bledsoe
After an investigation by Murph
Bledsoe, the council decided that it
tional security, this is your chance
to come out and have them strength-
ened.

You wouldn't think we were 84
years old, would you?
would be legal to allow the EBLS
to drop the part of their constitu-
tion requiring one literary meeting
a month. Perhaps the next step
taken will be to srike out the "lit-
erary" part of the title.
Rush rules for the 'literary" so-
cieties for next year were-read to
and approved by the council. Infrac-
tion of the rules carries a threat of
"social probation." No mention of
"special social probation" was made.
Coley Bruce Carlson made an im-
passioned plea to the council to
allow the Forum Committee to spend
the remainder of the $25 for its
"arduous endeavors." The council,
who was just about to initiate a
party of its own immediately after
the meeting adjourned, did not deny
the request.
Graham Kendall gave a report on
the proposed speaker needed to re-
place the one which disappeared
last summer. A speaker "and stand
will be purchased for $64., and the
meeting adjourned to better things.
