JOHN ("Bach") MORGAN was
another visitor to my table. He told
me he was leaving town some day,
and that II didn't mind riding In a
trailer, / could go along.
EMMETT GALLOWAY not only
visited the table, but grabbed an
empty chair and sat down. While we
were trying to talk, DOUG GREEN
kept banging beer mug down on
the table and interrupting the con-
versation every five words with those
cracks of his, until finally he was told
to either quiet down or leave for
other parts. He left. (But was back
again in five minutes and started all
over AGAIN.
GEORGE DUNCAN'S head is
spinning-KATHERINE DAVIS be-.
ing the reason. George has had more
love affairs than LORD BYRON
DOTY, and they have ranged from
lukewarm to torrid, but methinks
this time he will stay put and faith
full for a while. Let's hope so, any
how. Speaking of The Byron, I
wonder how long he's going to stick
around these two towns and let his
talent go stale? In spite of his
healthy conceit, think the guy has
something which could be used on
big time. .>.-.... .-.,sa-- .
We live and learn. I wish I hadn't
been so quick to make fun of people
who took so long to graduate from
the University, for now I find myself
in identically the same position as
those were whom giggled at.
Through some monkeyshines which !
cut in my courses during my fresh
man year, I lost one year, and now
by staying out this one quarter, /
lose another year. Between this COM
ing spring quarter and next winter
quarter, have two quarters in which
I can't do anything but dabble around
in this course and the other one, for
1 won't be able to finish up where /
left off until this time next year.
That sounds like Greek to those who
aren't acquainted with the Univer-
sity, but it's palmer than day to me.
THEL THURSTON, who is also in
journalism, will be graduated and
probably editor Of paper before !
even get my diploma. Ye gods, and
to think I had the nerve to crack
about other people staying in school
so long they should have moved their
trunks out there!
WALTER WINCHELL'S column
this morning had some interesting
things in it, and so for those of you
who didn't see it, let me repeat some
of the items. These items are all
backed by fact, and are true:
In the island of Bali, there are
seven lovely women to every male.
They have no income tax, no divorce,
and there is no army or navy. i
In Turkestan it is a crime to be a
bachelor, and any casual prowler is
given three days after arrival in
which to buy or borrow bride. You'll
find them auctioned off every day in
the milk market. The cash value of
a bride is now IL bucks. y. Three |
hours west of Burma (by air) takes
you to a country where men often
have 100 wives. :. Nobody can sleep
in the same room with cobra. If 2 |
cobra crawls in while you are asleep,
you'll wake up. (And say, who the |
dickens would want to sleep in the |
same room with a cobra, anyhowN
CHALMER LAWSON and YER
NON PITTMAN were going big bust
ness last Sunday night, and were
smoking two large black cigars. Some
how I noticed that both boys got the |
ciggies half smoked and then let them |
gracefully go out. Whatsamatter, |
you two, are you cream puffs, Ell?
think there should be law against |
people taking spoiled kids to the |
show. They get to wriggling around |
and making noise and whooping and !
hollering and whatnot. l happened, |
about two weeks ago, to drop by the !
Minnesota theatre to see picture. |
1t was a matinee and the show was
quite crowded, but as l was alone /
got what thought was choice seat.
I soon found out why that seat was
vacant. A loving mother with kid
named Junior" occupied the seat di-
rectly behind it, and Juniors idea of
enjoying the show was kicking on the
back of my seat and making as much
noise as possible. found out his
name was Junior because his mama
kept saying, "Now, Junior, don't kick
on the seat. Sit still like nice boy!"
All of this was said in one of those
stage whispers. Finally Junior got
loose from her lap and entertained
