word "nigger" or "darkey" in re-
gard to Simmons or any other col
ored player. You'll only get your
self into trouble, and perhaps your
whole party. You'll probably hear
these terms frequently during the
game. It's the easiest thing in the
world to get into a fight at a foot
ball game, so just take it kinda
easy.
For the girls who have never
made the trip, you'll need the fol-
lowing clothes. A good, heavy top
coat or blanket in case the day is
cold. Travel in a sports suit or
sports dress, and take one street
dress to change into If you intend
to get into Iowa City Friday night.
You can wear the same suit you
travelled in to the game. DON'T
go to the game all dressed up as
if you were going to an afternoon
tea. If you intend to stay in Iowa
City over Saturday night, you may
need a long dress for whatever
dance or party the fraternities are
giving. provided you are invited,
of course.) If you have fat-heeled
shoes, wear them to the game. If
you have dark glasses, take them
with you and put them on at the
kickoff to shield your eyes from
the glare on the field, and from
the wind.
DON'T (for girls) rush the first
good-looking man you see until you
are sure he hasn't a gal somewhere
around. There will be a lot of
Chicago, st. Louis, and Kansas City
wimmen down there, so just take
it easy until you find out how the
land lies. For Pete's sake, DON'T
everybody rush Ozzie Simmons; ]
think he has a girl. Haw!
DON'T try to tell those Iowa
folks that Minnesota is gonna win
the game BEFORE the game, be-
cause you'll only get the horse
laugh. Do your talking AFTER
the game. Or, better yet, shut up
and don't say anything at all be-
cause that's the best way to keep
from getting a poke in the schnoz-
zle.

PERSONALITIES
BY Nellie DOdson

Word reaches the office that
Earl Burnaugh is doing well out
at Glen Lake. I know everyone
will be tickled to hear that, as Earl
is such a popular and likeable
young chap and we all want him to
hurry up and come on back to the
gang.
For Pete's sake, in the last week
I've been nearly swamped with ap-
peals from folks who want to go
down to the Minnesota-Iowa game
in Iowa City, November 8, and
who want me to get them accom-
modations down there. I'd like to
help everybody out, but as it is,
I'm going to have tough enough
time getting my own party fixed
up. The Kappa boys no longer
have their house down there, and
have doubled up with the Alphas
at the A Phi A house, so accommo-
dations will be scarce this year. Be-
cause of the unusual interest in
the game, a capacity crowd will
be in town, so here are a few don'ts
for those who have never been
around to learn the ropes.
DON'T wait until the last min
ute to leave for Iowa City. The
swarm of Minnesota students and
rooters who are going down will
be taking the highway late Fri
day afternoon and Friday night. A
lot Of them will be more than a
little spliffed, and will need the
whole highway to drive on, so the
sooner you leave the Cities, the
less chances you are taking of get
ting run into the ditch.
DON'T wait until the last min
ute Saturday afternoon to go to
the stadium-if you are driving.
The Iowa stadium is located high
upon a hill, and there isn't any too
much room for parking, so if you
don't leave for the game at least
an hour before the kickoff, you'll
find yourself in a tangle of traffic
which will take about a year to
clear up. The best bet is to leave
the car down in the town and walk
up to the stadium.
DON'T start an argument or a
fuss if some white rooters use the
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1935-11-01
