Personalities!
BY Nellie DOdson

Well, I've been pounding out this
column for four years now, and an
eventful four years it has been,
too. A lot of nice things have hap
pened, a lot of silly things, and
few sensible things. Among the
nice things: Attending the Uni
versity. Making friends out there.
Taking subjects from really inter-
esting professors and instructors.
Living through the red-gold days of
fall, the blustery days of winter,
the lazy days of spring on the
campus. Enjoying chatty lunch
cons at campus restaurants.
Other nice things: Having few
real friends like Thelma Thurston,
Vida Parker, and Althea Doug
lass. People you can talk to, they
are, Your problems are theirs,
and their problems are yours.
Knowing few swell fellows who
are loads of fun like Jimmy Oliver,
Paul Boswell, Bootely Brown.
Among the unpleasant things:
Knowing some males who are per-
feet heels. Besides having one
track brains, they are minus, back
bone. ambition, and everything else
that is decent. =. Among the en-
barrassing m ON en- S: Getting
kicked out of a lecture class for
cabling too much to the Teller sit
ting next to me. He was kicked
out, too. Other embarrassing
moments: Trying to exercise my
three year college Spanish on a
Young man who had been in Spain
for couple of years on scholar
shin. He didn't know what was
talking about. and heaven knows I
certainly didn't understand him.
Moments when wanted to go quiet
w out Of the picture: The day that
Sheldon Beise insisted on trying to
wranele a dinner invitation, while
Stan Kostka's eyebrows went up
duestioningly, and Marionne
PEBBLES and Vida Parker tried to
keep from giggling themselves
silly at the situation. The worst
part of it was, it happened on the
street, and Beise's voice carries.
:. Big moments: Meeting Willis
Ward. Watching him come through
the Curtis Hotel lobby, head and
shoulders above the rest of the
folks, there. interviewing vari-
Gus show-people backstage, and
finding them all just human like
the rest of us. Having "Pug"
Lund take time out at the Youth
Conference to talk to me when fifty
other people were clamoring for
his attention. Z. /. Small moments:
Kicking pair of too-close fitting
shoes off in the State Theatre one
night, losing one, and having to
ask the usher to go under the seats
for it. =. Getting my seat checks
all mixed up one night while usher
ing at the Shubert, and having tc
move couple of parties after the
curtain went up. Seasick mo-
ments: Watching medic students
work on too-old corpses one da-
while / was frosh at the Uni
versity. +. Feeling as if it was a.

Another socially prominent
couple will come to parting of the
ways soon,-unless the hubby gets
over his headache for a young st.
Paul pretty-one. The wife really
doesn't care whether or not he re-
covers, because she has her eye on
a Chicago big-money biggie-who
is also married. BUT she can't
risk giving HER hubby the air for
fear the Chi biggie might not be
able to wriggle free, BUT she is
getting tired of the young-gal fool
ishness. If hubby acts his age and
gives up the young 'un, she'll try
and Danish the Chi dream-disturber
from her affections. If hubby
DOESN'T act his a0a wall Anv-
