R YEARS ONE of my strongest and most deap-seated convictions has been that all college sophomores greenbeans. (Greenbean, when I wore a pod and saddle shoes, was synonymous with. jerk, dope, ignoramus, stinker, punk, heel and a few terms Webster has overlooked.) There was only one period of my life when I refrained from villifying the sophomore. And that was, naturally, when I ‘wore the mantle of secondyear greatness. All sophomores are victims of this tendengy to over-estimate their importance as any freshman, junior and senior in college will readily tell you. So you can imagine what my feelings were when I stood on a muddy bank of a muddy creek in Longacre Park recently and watched the preparations for the annual Indiana Central ColJege fréshman-sophomore tug of war, I was rooting for the lowly freshmen. Pulling for them in spite of the fact that I had no educational or sentimental ties with Indiana Central. Just don't like sophomores, that's all. :

Longacre. Most impressive in the late evening with shadows and college girls and all Several members of the faculty turned out to see whether or not the freshmen could pull the sophomores from ohe bank of the stream, into the mud, and then proceed into the middle of the murky water thereby earning the right to cast their ‘green pods aside immediately instead of waiting until Thanksgiving as perscribed by the despotic greenbeans, The rules of the pull seemed to have been complied with by both sides as the judge of the event ordered the men to take their positions. The simple rules stated participants couldn't wear cleated shoes, brass knuckles or have concealed weapons on their persons. I had my doubts about some of the sophomores. Ronaldo Savenelli, eaptain of the freshman team, was in high spirits, He fairly bubbled with enthusiasm and confidence. His 14 teammates jumped up and down, flushed with the thought of victory. They were practically celebrating. Ronaldo's boys included: John Preston, Melvin Dilk, Henry Harvy, Jim Harvy, Don Robinson, Al

Disaster Struck With a Splash

ATHLETIC DIRECTOR Angus Nicoson blew his whistle a few times and brought about a semblance of order from the 30 pullers. He explained briefly one team must be pulled entirely in the water and at the sound of the whistle “come out fighting and keep it clean.” Never in my life have I seen disaster strike as quickly as it did the 1948 freshman class of Indiana Central College, - It was over before a man could ripple his back muscles and jump into the fray. Freshmen were groveling in the mud, beaten decisively, in the length of time it took me to travel 15 paces, The sophomores, at the opening blast from Coach Nicoson's whistle, heaved the freshmen loose from the positions they had assumed and pulled them steadily in the muck and slime, It wasn't a tug of war. As much as I hate to admit it, that's what I have to say. Ronaldo couldn't explain the catastrophe. He kept muttering through the dripping mud that nothing comparable had happened to the freshmen claés in years. A lot of years. The sophomores were jubilant and ‘yelled until

MIAMI, Oct. 19—It is with some consternation that us Florida Crackers read the press report of the tomato-splattering of Mrs. Thomas Dewey, Republican, and Sen. Joe Ball, Republican, in the state of Minnesota. Minnesota is a Yankee state, and in a Yankee state such savage things as tomato-and-egg throwing do not happen. It seems to us Crackers that the whole frozen North must be a Fascist state, and that the civil liberties of Mrs, Dewey and Sen. Ball have been grossly violated, infringed, smudged, smirched and soiled by an undoubted tool of Southern big busi-

ness; working -underground .up- there. among. the. and. the Progressive Party to the state, of plas: 4

Damyankees. Us liberal Crackérs demand that something be done. Anybody can see that this is just a rabblerousing plot of the Progressive Party to ridicule and shame the common man’s man, Mr. Dewey, who is trying to talk truth to the peasants. It is only one step from the hurled tomato to the lynch party of the MMM-—Minnesota Masked Mobsters—and the world should stand properly

- aghast.

The fact that the tomato was hurled by a pimpled youth! the f4¢t thdt it missed Mr: Dewey and splattered the Missus is of no importance. It was aimed at Mr. Dewey, and if'I recall Mr. Wallace's aggrieved reaction to his own egging. an accidental miss is as good as a hit if it denotes the Fascist resentment of free speech among free men,

Speak Up, Little Man

US CRACKERS want an immediate statement from Harry Truman that the whole thing is regrettable and un-American. Speak up, little man, and deplore the shameful implications of the hurled fruit. It cannot happen in a true democracy, where a Republican is every bit as good as a memper of the Communist party. Let us have soffie ringing editorials’ now from the liberal Southern press. Let it point out that, while we do not agree with Mr, Dewey's politics,

Smearo Session

By Frederick C. Othman

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19—What's worrying me are the two monkeys, one male and one female, which had their gums massaged at government behest with a toothpaste I shall call Smearo. Did ‘his give them the smile of beauty? And what of the famous dentistry professor at the famous unfversity, who testified at length about Smearo’s effect on smiles, only to have the lawyers for Smearo talk Tormally about his “verbal tortuosity, his evasiveness, and his doubletalk?” These are questions which may never be answered and then again they may, because the Federal Trade Commission is nothing if not thorough. Six long years ago the FTC filed a list of charges against the advertisers of Smearo, claiming it did not, either, cause beautiful smiles, that it was no good for a malady called pink toothbrush, and that it didn't help as a massage for the gums to counteract today's soft, mushy foods.

The Eyes Have It

“THE SMILRB,” said the commission, “is a change of facial expression, the most noticeable components of which are a brightening of the eyes and an upward, curving of the corners of the mouth.” What toothpaste, the government asked, could have any effect on the eyes? . That did it. Ever aince 1942, with interruptions. caused by the war, Trial Examiner Frank Hier has been listening to testimony and reading briefs about smiles, toothbrush and mush. Three leading professors of dentistry, includ. ing the one.with the verbal tortuosity, talked about these interesting subjects. - They seemed to

blood is caused by a fellow stabbing himself with a bristle on his brush and if he'd be a little more careful polishing his molars, his toothbrush probably would stay white. As for the! necessity of massaging the gums, with or without Smearo, they concluded this isn’t necessary. Ameérican food today, they said, is no more creamy, sort or well-cooked than it was 100] years ago. In fact, sald one of the professors, he'd taken
