Lady Hoodlums

Like hoods, scarves are the most
varied type of animal in the world.
For the benefit of the unenlightened, a hood is a hoodlum and a
scarf is a lady hoodlum.

beasts who are bent on getting
drunk and not married.
Then there is Mickey. She is a
fweet-kiwith the faint way of
the psychopath about her. She
alternately hates and loves people.
When you catch her on her loving
days, that's fine. But daddy-o- ,
steer clear of those hate days. You
are apt to find arsenic in your
Oertels or worse still, glue in your
Burmudas.
Thirdly is Sally Jane. Her
thoughts are of love and marriage.
She is different from the rest because she has already nailed her
man.
She regards her fellow inmates
with a slightly patronizing glance
and chuckles maternally at their
male catching antics. She is envied because of the rock on her
dainty left, which isn't made out
of no quartz. My observation is
you can't hardly get them no more.

take
note!)
As I was making the long walk
across campus recently, I noticed
the manner in which the co-eahead of me were walking.
I decided to make a study of
some ot these types of walks used
by co-ein acquiring that bid to
a movie, dance or marriage. There
are four walks that prove most
effective.
Moving down the sidewalk in a
fluid-lik- e
motion is a type called
the "slinker." The slinker doesn't
walk; she seems to float or flow
from one place to another.
This is usually the campus siren,
and she has droves of men around
her. However, she has one slight
defect in that she moves from man
to man in that same fluid motion.
The co-e- d approaching now with
the side to side movement of the
hips is type number two
the
rotator.
This 's
hips look as though
they move on ball bearings. This
walk requires a good degree of
muscular control so that nothing
can slip cut of place.
A walk of this type is as good
as waving a flag to draw attention.
This is something about the rotator
which seems to intrigue men.

Venus
Ultra-viollight photography
has revealed clews to the time of
rotation of the planet Venus on
its own axis. The thick clouds
surrounding Venus have heretofore obsecured markings on the
planet by which astronomers could
determine the period. Estimates
have ranged from 225 Earth days
down. Dr. Gerard P. Kuiper, of
the University of Chicago, has reported in the "Astrophysical Jourlight
nal" that with ultra-violsensitive film he has detected
markings on the planet. This kind
of light goes through clouds.

College Expenses
Michigan State College is
working on a hovel prepayment
plan to permit parents to finance the college education of
their youngsters starting from
birth.
Treasurer Phillip J. May told
the State Board of Agriculture,
college governing body, "If the
parents paid, tay, $15 a month
the fund would amount to
enough to cover college expenses
of around $1200 a year for four
years when the child reached
college age. The interest would
add up to one year of college
free."
