Lay In a COlumn1SCS Lie: Up
at eight o'clock and out to the
campus for a day Of mental labor.
In the Post Office at 1910 and to
my post office box, where I found
the usual Minnesota Daily, two adj
vertisements, two contributions to
the column, a note from Bud easy
on the Eyes) Wilkinson, the foot
baller, saying he would be glad to
speak at the Wheatley football
school, provided it was after Thurs
day, the sixteenth, as he had a late
term paper due the next day and
had to work on it. Also a letter
from Ollie Grantham down at
Iowa State collitch, saying that the
trip back to school was somewhat
hectic as the top Of Gawge Berry's
car blew off, thereby almost freez-
ing them to death the rest of the
way. A note from Ruth Baltimore
completed the days mail. About
to go to 1890 class when Char
lotte Crump breezed by on her
way to a 1920 class, also, and as
we were both headed for FolweIl
Hall we trucked on over together.
Met on the way, and going to
classes also, Pete Thatcher, all
dolled up in natty gray spring
topcoat. Also Lou Bohanon passed
by, waving a greeting. Fannie
Butler swished by in the parade of
students and told us Dwight Reed
was up and around again. A lit
tie farther on we saw Elmer Har-
ris, looking very glum for such a
bright spring mawning. To 1890
class in "Recent Poetry" and
bored to tears. After class, over
to the P. o. once more, where I
came upon Myrt Wormley who
right away did ask had I seen Will
Parker? We set upon a search,
and finally found Parker in the
Reference Room of the Library.
Over to college town to a restau-
rant and $3.50 lunch. Discussed
men, sorority business, and much
trivia that no one but girls ever
talk about. Back from college
town I stopped by the Minnesota
Union, where Thel Sayles, F. But
Ter, Martha Wright, Marge Per-
kins and Bobbie Durant were hav-
ing a luncheon pow-wow. Joined
them, and we talked of ways and
means Of getting to Iowa City for
the spring party. Talked, also, of
the Style Show at Knickerbocker
Hall, which I missed because Of
my out-of-town jaunt. There were
raves over the smart outfits worn
by Harryette Walls, Helen Smith,
and Adele Rhodes. The point came
up that Rhodes boy friend from
Iowa City was there, and had
stepped aside for Lounneer Pember-
ton at the Style Show dance. Many
EXPLANATIONS of amazement over
the broadmindedness of the Iowa
City lad, Bob Evans. Charlie Uk-
kerd and John Brooks were having
luncheon at a nearby table, and
Charlie stopped on the way out to
inquire if l had intentions of 60
ing to the Symphony at $3.50.
Couldn't make up my mind, but
made arrangements to meet
Charlie if l decided to go. Left
the Union about 1:45 with all the
gals. Marge Perkins and Thel
Sayles went to the lounge, up
stairs in Northrop Auditorium, to
relax in the deep-cushioned chairs.
B. Durant, F. Butler and myself
took up a stand in front of the
library, and for one hour talked of
everything possible in that space
of time. Dwight Reed, still look
ing rather pale about the gills, ap-
peared later to talk of the exam
he had taken, which will have a
bearing on his eligibility for foot
ball. Leaving the campus soon
after, / did go downtown and shop
around. Into Bells for an ice
