to fear. Af-
ter *11, w have several good author-
ities to give ua ti>e latest. But, we're
taking no chance*. So we marched
our 111 ole selves down to the public
library the other day and checked
out an elementary Russian gram-
subtitled "Russian for English
Speaking Workers" and published by
the Co-operative Publishing Society
of Foreign Workers in the USSR,
Moscow, 1943.
The first lesson gave us the inside
dope on pronunciation, phonetics,
and the Cyrillic alphabet. Then we
were plunged into the first exercise.
Here we found such simple phrases
as "Day Tom," which when tran-
slated meant "GiVe the crowbar,"
and "Dal on val plan?" which meant
"Did he give the plans to you?" As
well as "Techniky b masse" mean-
ing "Technique to the masses."
Since this is so different from the
usual this-is-thc-door-that-is-the-
floor sort of thing, we decided that
we would see just how far they
would go before suggesting that we
really do the "give the plans to you"
sort of thing. If this thin«r ever does
catch on, we picture the first, graders
saying "Give the crowbar" ami
"Where is sickle" for their first les-
Bons. But, look, kiddies be sure that
the crowbar and sickle arc "auto-
graphed" and "for your own use,"
jotherwise they will be of no use to
you and will be confiscated.
We were watering our aspidistra
the other day (it's been in the fami
i ly for years) and got lost day
dreaming. The main thought v.-a.-
why Betty Condron got separated
from the "herd." Maybe, we said,
she hasn't hoard of the ratio hen* at
school. They tell us that Rico women
are outnumbered 4 to 1. (Oh joy).
She also doesn't seem to realize that
a Rice girl need he only slightly
so-so to turn a few heads. She seems
plenty cute enough to us not to haw
to ask boys for dates. But then, we
mused, perhaps it's all in the way
you look at the situation. Things
are changing.

We got a sneak preview of the
girls' basketball teams t, h e other
night by watching the Pi Alpha
Lambda Sigma send the Epsilon Be-
ta Sigma teams work out. Some of
the girls are in good form. Should
be a good season—for basketball.
Just wonder if Rice will ever be
able to afford "big name" bands
for dances. We went to. hear Ruds
Morgan up at the T.U.-Rice dance
at Austin. While there we also not-
iced that George Kane and Tommy
Hopkins were having trouble keep-
ing their dates. Seems the boys took
the girls to the dance and hardly
saw them again until quitting time.
Congratulations to R. H, Kopecky.
He is the proud pappy of a brand
