Oil, inc. h'etv I am again. If I keep on.wasting
paper t.i'vi.ug to write a theme, thero is really going to
he a shortage. Now. I'm writing tins under a terrific
strain no Coke This is the first time 1 have ever at-
tempted to write without that heavenly drink in my
presents. l have written about rivers, lakes, buildings
hooks, houses, roads, fences, places, but none of the
themes were good. Hack in the old days when a man
could at least sleep until day light. 1 could usually write
something.
I do not feel ill; I look all right (.personal observa-
tion); 1 eat properly, but 1 still cannot get. in. the crea-
tive mood. Maybe I'm in love; yes, that [s it in love.
No. 1 do not even have a girl. 1 havrinot even had a
date with one (Imagine that college and no girl >
Ileddy. Jeau, Lana, and Betty are all fans of Pepsi-Cola.
The traitors! W lie si a hardship arises they all leave the
party; of course, 1 could not be in love with them. (Oh,
no!) It eould be a girl 1 have never seen That's it,1 a
girl 1 have never seen I think I'll write a theme on
the girl that I dream of ■«
Ideal Girl
Naturally, she must be a girl. Let us fail her
(If I ever find T.f'r," the name means nothing.) She
should he about the height of five feet, seven inches, and
should tip the scales at 112. Now, her walk must be
exactly like that Mrs. Bowman preaches about. Her
fi'ct like a baby's, feet, but not like baby elephant
feet. Her figure . . . would drive Einstein crazy. Her
dreamy big brown eyes with eyelashes like a fawn's.
(Now this theme is not meant to be "fawnny.") H$j
complexion must be as fresh as the air that greets me
at my 8 o'clock class. *JHer fingernails long, but not
overlapping, and painted with natural polish. I want
her to lie sure that every time I look uponjier, A>l want
a vanilla sundae. (With a dash of ehOcoTSt^syrup.)
The cherry must remind me of her lips. The wmttped-
cream her complexion, and the syrup her hair. Just
think, every time I kiss her, I'll have to wipe off the
ice cream.'
Must Bake Chocolate Cake
She must tie very smart. One of her specialties must
he the baking of a chocolate cake. Her clothe^ will
be beautiful. Aside from my radio announcing, gol'h
club activities, and shows, I'll devote,, all my time'to
her. But seriously. I shall give her everything her
heart desires, Yes>, everything but those Crow's Nest
hats.
Now that 1 have her all made up Where is she?
I do not know. Do you? I thought that I had found
her yesterday, but this girl had blonde hair. Now, I
suppose that I could learn to like caramel sundaes

ABOl T THAT SI"EEDL'P
Concentrated college programs designed to turn out
B. A and B. S. degree-holders in two and a half to
three years are being instituted on many campuses. As
an emergency measure, the speedup technique has won
wide acclaim. One of its phases, however, has been
overlooked by many commentators, and that is the
weakened condition of the student's pocketbook.
A Minnesota survey revealed that 51 per eent of men
students earn an average of $20 a month toward educa-
tion expense during the school year, and 70 per cent
earn an average of .$200 a summer.

THIS, THEN, IS TIMES SQUARE
By Sam Blake
Band-leaders returning to Broad-
way after one-night stands in the
South are amazed at the growth of
the old-time square dance, which
has, overnight, swept that part of
the country. Swing music, they say,
is on wane, and there is no logical
explanation for the sudden revival
of What, used to be the favorite
form of entertainment in the South
. . . for the first time a popular
tune has beeTT' written around a
Hollywood screen star. Eddie Cher-
kose wrote "Olivia," inspired by
Olivia de Havilland, and introduced
it over NBC . . . Joseph O. Friel,
President of the Notre Dame Club
of New York, appointed James M.
Carroll, manager of the Hotel
Woodstock, Class '.11, Chairman of
Universal Notre Dame Night, to be
held by the club 011 April 17. This
night is being held in conjunction
with the registration of 1,000 naval
trainees of the V-7 program at the
University at that date ... a def-
inite Pulitzer prize candidate is
Martin Sheridan's "Comics and
Their Creators", true stories of
American cartoonist, easily the
finest book of its kind ever penned
. . oh, Mr. Toscanini: Magistrate
John F X. Masterson, just ruled
that a zither is not a musical in-
strument but an instrument of
torture . . . the Cleveland critic,
Ward Marsh, reminds us that ha ok
Ml 1937 he interviewed screen di-
rector, W. S. Van Dyke and that in
the course of the conversation Van
Dyke disclosed he was keenly dis-
turbed by the huge Jap fishing
boats in American waters. "They
know more about - our West Coast
and the Canadian Coast," Van Dyke
said, "than any other people in the
world. Any one of the captains
could take a foreign fleet . . and
lead it., without a man."

Women Talk — Say Nothing
By Walter Turner
Women do talk more than men in the opinion of Texas Wesleyan
college students—both girls and boys—following a survey made on the
campus. Included in this mass interview was one faculty member, Mr.
H. H. Hughes. The following are some of the answers received:
ROSEMARY WH1TAKER—i know women talk more because they talk
faster in the lirst place, and they can think faster, and therefore, say
things faster.
GEORGE DAVIS- 11' you ever get in an argument with one, you'll lind
that either they win or quit from exhauston.
FLORENCE O'REILLY -Personally, 1 talk purely for entertainment, I
think men talk the most because they seem to believe they have some-
thing important to say.
BILLY ROBERTSON—1 believe women talk the most because t>t»y
Itave more time to talk than \irten. When a woman begins to tell 1
something she goes into every little detail, and before she gets to the
point she is talking about something else.
SUE PICKETT—Men, because they are always talking about how
much women talk.
MRS. JOE HYDE—Women talk more than men. Women notice a,;4
observe more than men, therefore, they see more things to talk about
than men.
KLAUDE KENDRICK Women talk more. They cannot give vent to
their feelings in a physical way, as men may;'Ahey have no alternative
but to give vent to them with words.
JAMES HORNER—Personally, I don't think there is a logical answer
to the question. The exception proves the rule. Some women talk more
than men and vice-versa. I do believe that women talk more about in-
consequential matters than men.
Mr. ill. H. HtOHES—As a rule, women talk more than men because
they feel no responsibility in what they say. Men often feel obligated to
SAY SOMETHING when they talk.
CHESTER HENSON Women talk so much men don't have a chance
to talk.
TED AUSTIN- Women talk more than men do because of inherited
habits formed through the ages. Men have always been more active and
thus their emotions have foi^d outlets in more ways.
KATHRYN BAUGH-^Men talk the most because they think they know
more and so they just talk all the time about stuff they think they know.
BILL WHEELER—Wottien talk ^more be9at1.se they have more op-
portunities in many eases and »?em to have a longer wind. They m»y
not talk so long but they get a lot said.
PAUL DeWITT Women, by talking more and saying less, have gained
a reputation for volubility.
WARREN HALL -Women are super-human. A large group of women
can talk all at one time and every woman can hear what all of the others
are saying.
