Dear Advice-To-Lovelorn:
I am a freshman boy, twenty years
old, and not a bad looking chap (so
they tell me). 1 would like to "make"
, a nice, pretty girl, but when X begin
talking to' one, she says she has heard
that line before, and she walks off.
I can't bear to see life pass ma by

At Regular Meet
Department Managers
Give Bi-weekly Report
to Group
Hie Engineering Society heard twp
prominent speakers at its regular meet-
ing last Wednesday night. Mr. E. M.
Wise, Houston manager of the Gen-
eral Electric, and Mr. I. T. Hackaday,
sales manager of the Houston G.-E.
gave talks, illustrated with interesting
slides, on the mercury vapor power
plant located at the home office of the
General Electric at Schenectady, New
York.
Haylett O'Neill, general manager of
the show, again called on the depart-
ment managers for their bi-weekly re-
ports. Dudley CXFiel, E. E. manager,
reported that some new television
equipment Hiid been bought, and that
he expects to have the set in good
working ordef by show time. With
this televisioh exhibit and the radio car,
the E. E. department may steal, the
show. Carl Kuhn, manager of the
Chemistry department, announced that
he is going to have a consumers' re-
search exhibit, which consists of quan-
. titative tests for impurities and adul-
terations in canned goods. One of these
is a test for horsemeat in corned beef.
O'Neill announced that the deadline
for copy for the program advertising
would be extended another week, and
also that all. advertising secured this
week would pay 15 per cent instead
of the usual 10 per cent. He urged
everyone to see all of their prospects
: * in the coming week and close as many
~ sales as possible, as the advertising is
important in financing the show.

YEAR'S-SENIORS — certain THIS-

get now! |

Don't be silly, Desperate. That i&n't

you might ask that Owl bunch for a

Advice-to-Lovelorn Editor:
I am a freshman girl from a little
country town (Dallas). During the
whole year my professors have been
trying to date me but so far I have
successfully warded them off. Now,
Lovelorn Editor, is it proper for a girl
to place her lessons before everything
else? In February I went on pro.
Wonderingly,
Country Gal.
Now listen, Country Gal, a little
more congeniality on your part might
improve your scholastic standing.
For Instance, just go over to Autry
House some time and sight a biology
assistant. If you think he is lacking in
company you're mistaken. In fact, we
saw thirteen frosh girls huddled
around one of the graders last week.
You know Mae West made a scholar-
ship when she was in college.
* * * * *
Dear Advice-To-Lovelorn:
I am a young man around the cam-
pus with big feet,, a pug nose, and Slick
hair. When I sit in all my classes and
prop my feet on the chair in front of
me the girls think that 1 am flirting
with them. Does this constitute flirt-
ing?
Answer right away,
Perplexed.
Well, Perplexed, that all depends on
the velocity of the touch; and then,
somt' girls are thrilled by masculine
contact, while others are knocked flat
by it. Just Ije sure you don't slay
any girls.
However, if you want an official de-
cision on the subject you can write to
the Society fcyr ^ie rt'ovention of In-
discretions A'A>ong College Students, in
care of fjoocy.

You Wise Old Owl:
I am terribly in love with a popular
junior girl, but she just won't not ice
me.
Should I stop her and kiss her on
the campus? „
Bright Eyes.
Oh, good heavens, no! I knew n girl
that slapped a boy on the campus
once, and it ruined him for .life.
Can't you find a more convenient
| place to kiss her?
| Anyway, what do you want to kiss |
her for? Why risk hydrophobia un- ;
necessarily?

"What do you call that thing? Yes
that thing with all those black and j
white balls attached to it?" I heard
a gentleman ask who was attending j
Dr. Johnson's lecture at Rice in the j
amphitheatre the other night
"Don't know," answered the man!
sitting beside him, "It's sure a puzzle
to me."
"What are those funny looking black
and white balls in thi.- tup of the
room?" they asked anoi.' man
The man with a puzzled look on his
fu'oe said, "I'm sure I don't know, bui
I bet i can find out."
" He Vjvtilked over to a professor \yho
had just entered the room and asked |
him. The professor, who was a lit tic
embarrassed, for he had been teaching
in the amphitheatre for years, stam-
mered out, "I think it is wave length
measurements of some, kind,"
Tins was just a little too much far
me because I have often wondered,
myself, what the little balls were, so
1 decided to ask some one who knew.
This is the answer he gave; 'That Kal-

Hungry Five Mountaineers.
