PERSONALITIES
BY NELLIE DoDsoN

night spots, walked into phone
booth to call gal, started to dial the
number, and then suddenly found out
HE DIDN'T KNOW HER NAME?
Most unusual, most unusual. Just
as bad as that femme of my acquaint-
ance, who had been telling the family
what a wonderful fellow a certain
young man was, how much of gen
tleman he was, how different he was
and then on the night the lad came
to see her for the rst time, and she
began to introduce him to mama, she
was very embarrassed to find that his
name had slipped her memory quite
completely. How irritating.
A certain married couple are be-
ginning to throw glum looks at each
other, because she has begun to COM
pare him with one of the flames she
palpitated over before she met and
married him-and in the comparison,
friend husband comes out much the
worse!
Last Saturday noon, my telephone
tangled sharply, and when l answered
it, an excited voice giving indications
that it's owner was on the verge of
apoplexy, whooped through the
| phone, "Turn on WCCO =. Red
Nichols . . Hotel Lowry . play
ing theme song now! I'll be SEEM
you!", and wham!-up went the re-
ceiver in my ear. AS soon as I was
sure my ear drums were still func-
tioning, I dashed to the radio and
turned it on. Then l dashed back to
the telephone and called CLAUDE
BURNAUGH and told him that Red
Nichols was warming the air waves
over WCCO. Claude whamed up the
receiver as violently as the unknown
person had, for evidently he didn't
want to miss single note. I would
like to thank whoever it was that
called me, but next time be a little
more gentle with the receiver, will
you? / never seem to know who Pm
talking to half of the time, over the
telephone, anyway. People have a
way of calling me, and screaming
things into the phone, and then hang
ing up, leaving me to guess to the
best of my ability who it was. But
It's one way to get information for

A recent newspaper article said
hat WILLIS WARD, the Michigan
football and track star, is crazy about
symphony and opera music. Of all
things! That is quite a combination

BEN BERNIE was barred from
playing golf at a snooty Florida
course this past week, because he lis
Jewish, and one of the major big
league baseball teams recently had
trouble at an exclusive Hotel down
here, because the management of the
Hotel didn't want certain Jewish play
ers staying at the gosh darn place.
And from the Campus comes the
following:
WHO the heck is putting notes in
EARL SHAMWELL'S postoffice box?
Earl has been going around asking all
the girls about those notes, but no
one seems to know anything about
'ern. More than likely, Shamwell has
pierced the heart of some gel, but
she is too bashful to let him know
her identity. Nice work, Shammie,
old dear.
VAL DAVIS and MARIONNE
PEBBLES are eating in the MINNIE
Onque, and Chauncey Cooper. After
an evening of dancing and bridge, a
midnight luncheon was served.
sofa UNION cafeteria these days,
because the servings are larger and
better than at Shevlin Hall. Now,
for those of you off the Campus, let
me say that the Union is the male
sanctuary of the Campus, and women,
as rule, get so confused with all
those sheiks running around loose,
that they haven't the courage to at
tempt the Union cafeteria, but Val
and Marionne say that food is food,
and that the men can go to the dick

t. other day, if she had enough hash
on her plate, and Val, although she is
a tiny little thing, said that she alb
solutely didn't have enough, SO the
nice boy proceeded to give her some
more. They don't do that at Shev-
lin, by jinks!
The Union is a nice place, all done
in modernistic decorations, and has
spacious lounges, which seem to me
to be far more suitable for tete-a-tetes
than lot of sprawling males. AS q
rule, whenever femmes have any &C.
casion to go in there, they get to gig
