THERE IS A NIGHT of nights, however, that both sides concede of being ay special at Butler. It is Panhellenic Night. The girls take the boys out and foot the bill for the entire evening. Without exception, all men within the scope of this survey expressed satisfaction at the arrangement. The sky is the limit. After all, is the argument, don't the men pay and pay the rest of the year? The girls are not as enthusiastic in the indorsement but do admit on Panhellenic Night they “eat.” Well, why shouldn’t they?
Gee, it's late . . . Betty Coed often must go home hungry after a date because there's no time to eat. So says Joe.

On the first date a coed stands a better chance of being offered sustenance. A blind date, who opinion of the girl who did the fixing, has wonderful personality, doesn’t have a chance of entering her campus home full of drive-in tidbits. Forty-nine out of 50 men are responsible for the ‘No. 35, a stalwart youth with confidence and poise to burn, reported that his girl was never hungry. She never. wanted to eat late at night. Thrift was her middle name, practically. Further investigation and interrogation revealed the boy was hooked. Just as soon as possible No. 35 was going to marry the girl. Doughnuts will get you a filet that she gets hungry one of these days. From the boys it was learned a girl could me

Know All the Excuses
THEY KNOW ail the standard excuses ana) claim the boys are not fooling them in the least. All they can do is hope. i . One major discrepancy in the survey involves) big dances. Formals and the like. The men have led me to believe they feed girls well on such nights, From the other side of the fence the story is different. Miss Coed claims the bigger the dance the less chance she has of eating. In this respect I think a young lady dropped a significant clue. “Sometimes a girl doesn’t want to take the time to eat if she’s having a good time—at a big dance.” That's easy to understand, Miss. One thing sure, I've checked this thoroughly, no one enrolled in an American institution of higher learning has ever starved. There have been close calls. “It’s getting late, we better go or you will be late.”
Mildred Musulin, 811 Virginia Ave., writes: “Since I haven't lived here too long, there are many of your columns I have missed. ‘You, Too’ might contain some of the ones I've missed.” I hope so, ma'am. Requests have been slow. Four today gives me 2212. Goal—30,000. Have to have that or the publisher won't talk to me.
Worrisome Week
By Robert C. Ruark
‘NEW YORK, Oct. 1—This has been a week of tremendous significance, not one to be lightly passed or easily forgotten. It began auspiciously, I thought, when Humphrey Bogart, slightly jubilant, wandered into El Morocco, bearing ‘a toy panda; and accompanied by a gentleman friend who also carried a toy panda in lieu of female escort. Somewhere, somehow, civil liberties got twisted up into this one, and the right of a man to escort a panda was challenged. Two models—they are always described as models, beautiful models, laid violent hands.on Bogey’s panda, and there was a fine, New York-type ginmill confusion. The beautiful models, suitably attired in bruises, showed up next day with a lawsuit, and the companion of one, described as socialite John Jelke, the thrice, gained undying immortality in the prints. His handsome photo carried the descriptive passage: “Almost mixed with Humphrey.”
A New Form of Bravery THIS PLACES a fresh classification on bravery.- When a man “almost mixes” with a celebrated tough guy, that is almost as brave as sneering at Joe Louis from a ringside pew. It stands somewhere between cowardly flight and open hostility. I intend to practice it myself, in future. There is literally a score of fellows I intend to almost mix with. As if the week were not already rich enough in excitement, we had the tidings that Dear David, the Marquis of Milford Haven, had chosen as his bride an American divorcee name of Simpson, which just seemed too unutterably chic to be borne by us commoners. I am pleased that the royal family reversed precedent by blessing the union of the Marquis and the newest Mrs Simpson, and I am also enchanted by the idea that El Morocco, having lost a customer in Mr. Bogart, gains a new one in Mrs. Simpson. I guess Mrs. Simpson is probably the only glamor lady in New York who has not been to Morocco in company with the. Marquis, who sells stoves and writes of ‘the fallibilities of American living. My international wires being fouled momentarily, I cannot know whether the British uppercrust reaction to the pound’s devaluation has fetched forth a rash of democratic activity, but the Earl

of Harewood, who stands 11th in line to the throne, solidified himself with the masses by taking to wife a 22-year-old commoner named Marion Stein. Apart from my natural horror at decreas: ing the indigo content of the royal blood, I was appalled to learn that the bride's parents lived in a three-floor walkup. It seems to me that if socialism goes on much longer, the Empah has had it. It was, even on this side of the water, a shattering seven days. Lila Leeds, the charming girl who went to jail with Robert Mitchum for smoking marijuana, seems inclined to sing, out on the Coast, as the result of some sort of injury into the hotsy-totsy night life there. I just sit here and shudder over a baleful comment of Hedda Hopper, to the effect that “if Lila Leeds spills all she knows, it will drag in the name of a very prominent and beloved Hollywood man who's already paid more than $100,000 in blackmail.” You worry about the atom, Junior, I got enough to sweat out already. Well, little Rae Scarborough down in Washington gave it to the Boston Red Sox very good, for the second straight year. Little Rae, playing for the worst ball team in the majors, maybe even the minors, beat the Bostons as the Yanks were winning, and perpetuated his legend as a giantkiller. It was Rae who knocked the Sox out of the pennant last year this time with the same sort of victory, and I guess the only way the Red Sox
There Was Tritling News, Too THERE WAS e ‘muttering around, which I didn’t catch, about steel and coal strikes and the Ford pension plan, and I do believe Mr. Truman flew to Missouri again to attend a Masonic meeting and a political shindig. There was some incoherent stuff about raising the pay of the Cabinet ministers and some deputies tossed some gas grenades at some pickets somewhere, but not much of it rubbed off. They keep mumbling about the Reds and the A-bomb and there was something, I disremember what, about Tito and Stalin calling off their lovely friendship, but it all got overshadowed by DiMaggio’'s return to semi-health. I tell you, this last one was a real rough week.
Senators Must Fat By Frederick C. Othman
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1—The hour was late in the U. S. Senate. The winds blew. And perhaps it was just as well there were no waiters to feed the hungry gentlemen because the menu in their darkened restaurant featured—horrid thought!— hamburger. The lawgivers were trying to decide whether to raise the wages of the government's hot-shots (the ones who ride in official limousines) and, if s0, how much. Time and time again Sen. Claude Pepper of Florida had sought to expound on this subject, only to be interrupted. : Sen. Matthew M. Neely of West Virginia urged that an announcement be made. “It would be as follaws,” he said. “The eminent Senator from Florida, whose words are always like apples of ‘gold. in pictures of silver, would complete his eloquent address, which has been interrupted by numerous inquiries and comment. Subsequently unlimited, tedious, tasteless verbosity, which is obviously in process of incubation, would be repressed to extinction, unwept, unhonored and unsung.”
He Can’t Get a Meal SEN. PEPPER got to finish his speech; his apples of gold are available in the Congressional Record. And Sen. Scott W. Lucas of Illinois, the Democratic chieftain, sneaked downstairs for supper. The restaurant was closed, because how did the management know the Senators would spend half the night making speeches at each other? Sen. Lucas couldn’t even find a peanut candy bar. He came back fuming. o “If the management of the restaurant cannot arrange to serve Senators who desire to stay for a night session and eat dinner in the restaurant,” he said, “then we had better have a new management.” Sen. Kenneth Wherry of Nebraska, the Republican leader, who'd had nothing to eat, either, said if the gentleman from Illinois had notified the lunchrooms that he intended to keep the Senate in session half the night, there’d have been some

Sen. William Langer of North Dakota, whose principal diet seems to be cigars, which he chews unlighted and with their cellophane wrappers intact, had some remarks on food. He said it was necessary to raise federal salaries so the clerks) could eat. “A number of witnesses came before our committee and said they had not gotten butter more than once a month and they had not had any meat at all and that they tried to live on the stuff that is called hamburger in this section of the country. “Under the Democratic administration many people selling hamburger put sawdust in it to try to make it stick together. But in the part of the country from which I come, in North Dakota, where people get good beef, when they make a sandwich and use real beef, a sandwich of that sort can be picked up and handled and it will not fall apart. “But the stuff that is sold for hamburger in the part of the country around Washington is like soup. It cannot be handled with a fork, but a spoon must be used.”
They're Still Arguing ULP. The gentlemen were beginning to lose their appetites. Sen. George D. Aiken of Vermont finished off all their thoughts of food. “The Senator from North Dakota will not forget, I am sure,” he said, “that at the Department of Agriculture cafeteria the employees found they were being served lard colored yellow to look like butter.” Sen. Langer said, yes, he remembered that well. And as the rainy night progressed, the winds continued to blow. At this writing, 12 hours later, the Benators are still arguing about those pay raises. Plenty of waiters are standing by to feed ‘em, .but the hamburger has disappeared from the bill of fare. In its place: Beef stew, 85 cents.

To Gov. Schricker By IRVING LEIBOWITZ NOW and then Gov. Schricker calls upon each and every Hoosier to observe some special Days to save eyesight, promote fellowship and prevent fires are a few of the many days on which the Governor puts his official stamp of ap-
proval. But the Man in the White Hat draws the line at some requests. Not too long ago he refused to proclaim a special day for expectant fathers. Nevertheless, proclamations fly out. of the Statehouse at the rate of six a month. ss = 8 FRIDAY was a proclamation day. Gov. Schricker : proclaimed it Future Homemakers of America Day, Flower Day and Leif Erickson Day, all at the same time.
These special observances are supposed to glorify flowers, make Indiana home conscious and pay tribute to an explorer.
More than 50 proclamations have been issued this year.
The Governor has put his signature to Patriots Day, Army Day, Maritime Day, Flag Day, Constitution Day, V-J Day, GAR Day, I Am An American Day, Good American Week, and National Security Week. - Ld = HUMANE SUNDAY was proclaimed by Gov. Schricker a few months back to emphasize Be Kind to Animals Week. The state has observed days for mothers, fathers and grandmothers. Miss Georgia Bookedis and Mrs. Virginia Crume, the secretaries who have a great deal to do with. typing’ the proclamation projects,. agree that perhaps one more special day should be proclaimed: “No Proclamation Day.”
