Our editor has informed us that, unfortunately, we haven't much
space this time for our north# column; so, instead of chatting with you,
are shall immediately present the facts.
EPOCHAL EVENTS: EB's and gentlemen friends Friday night
searched for a very well-hidden treasure, which was found by the com-
bined superior intelligence of Otto Taylor and Mary Virginia Pittman.
ENGINEERING PROJECTS: From all appearances and com-
ments, the Engineers Ball was one of the most successful dances this
semester. Dancing to the luscious Ed Sullivan music were Smilin John
and Bob, Hedda Hart, Oodles More, Dell Ashmun, Jim Stegner,
Marilyn Kinzer, Jim Whitsit, Ann Sheppard, Tim Watson, and the
Jim Sims'. Mary Virginia Pittman was named Miss Slipsticft and Dee
De Mecft and Sandra Schlaffte were princesses.
RINGS: We are happy to note that Ann Bordovsfty and Watson
Unit have made their engagement official.
N* THINGS: The John Merians have added a 7 3/4 lb. study-stop-
per to their household. Congratulations!
RICE IN BERMUDA SHORTS: Dr. Niels Nielsen s advice to
Nancy Sullivan is, "Sin bravely, Miss Sullivan; sin bravely" . . . Hy
Applebaum, when informed by Dr. Chillman that his class, composed
mostly of-girls, would be frequently dropping into the architect lounge,
decided it Would be a GOOD THING to put up a "watdh your lan-
guage" sign.
EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT: Anita File' s new version
. Sue Siell's fast . . .
Joan Ryba's bonfire
of the "Clover" song. If you can, asfc Annita
Don Krause shafting hands with Liberace! .
date with a swanky Swinff . . .
A WORD: to everyone. We wish you all a happy and thankful
Thanksgiving !
Northwestern May
Quit Big 10 Game
Serious consideration is being
given the thought of withdraw-
ing from the Big Ten at North-
western University in Evanston,
Illinois. The Wildcat's 49 to 0
trouncing on October 29 was
their 20th Big Ten defeat since
the start of the 1952 season, and
they have no Big Ten wins so
far this season.
According to the Daily North
western, the college newspaper,
\
this proves that for some few
years now Northwestern has not
been fielding a team capable of
meeting Big Ten competition
week after week. Three alter-
natives are suggested:
1.) Let things ride and lose
six or seven conference games
each year;
2.) Make drastic changes in
athletic policies and start field-
ing Big Ten calibre teams once
more;
3.) Get out of the Big Ten.
Withdraw
The best solution, as proposed
by the Daily Northwestern,
would be to withdraw from the
Big Ten and play an independent
schedule, one in which they could
play schools similar to them-
selves athletically, in addition to
a few of their traditional Big
Ten rivals.

SMU Tries To Find 'How To
Get Other People To Do It'
by Nancy Angle
Evidently the boys up at South-
ern Methodist have the right
idea. In an article in last week's
Campus on the Do-it-yourself
craze, the reporter made this ob-
servation: "What we are look-
ing for no wis a book entitled
'How to Get Other People to Do
It'."
The painting craze is just one
phase of the Do-it-yourself trend,
but one student at the Univer-
sity of Colorado carried it a little
bit to far. As a show of school
spirit, he climbed a nearby moun-
tain and, with the aid of his
frat brother, painted a huge "C"
while hanging by his feet.
Th Red tape up in the Ivy
League must be getting thick.
One of the older students com-
plained to professor that he had
ben asked "everything from the
age of my parents to the sex of
my unborn children." He then
commented that fewer personal
questions were asked when he
applied for a job with the State
Department in Washington. "That
may be true," replied the prof,
"but you must realize that we're
a much older organization."
Several Baylor students got
shocked last week, too. It seems
they were studying in the very,
very silent Tidwell Bible Build-
ing when the serenity was shat-
tered by the sound of shuffling
cards. Disdainful glances were
cast on the offender who turned
out to be just a mee kLatin schol-
ar, shuffling her vocabulary
cards as she prepared to review
for a quiz.
