CUSAN, pajama clad, stretched
- full length on her bed and
stared hard at the ceiling. After
moment or two she rolled over
and looked across the room at her
roommate. Amy, what kind of
ideas have you for a date for me
for the dance?"
Amy looked surprised. "You
mean you of all people have a
problem? You mean you're not
asking Phil Humphries?"
Susan sighed. Sorry to state
this is one time / won't have the
Smoothest article at the Delta Sig
Fall Frolic. Best I can do, in any
case, is take second honors. Phil,
unfortunately. has to attend
chemistry forum in Chicago next
weekend"
Amy made a sympathetic click
ing sound with her tongue. You
poor thing. With enough phone
calls and men asking you for dates
to fill three girls lives and you
have a problem"
Susan sat up suddenly and
snapped her fingers. ''Pll do it"
Its revolutionary, no doubt"
Amy said laconically.
"Tll ask him." Susan went on,
unheeding.
who, Prexy? Buck Kilgore. the
campus cop?"
Dope! But almost as remote,
though" Susan admitted, hastily,
resting her chin on her knees. Pm
going to call Todd Malone"
Amy's legs came off her desk
with a bang She put down the
notebook she was holding. Todd
Malone! So you've taken to mari
juana at last. What makes you
think you can succeed where
dozens of others, with more to
offer, have passed him up?"
Susan .oursed her lips. Todd
Malone last week offered to buy
me coke. l have reason to be-
lieve," she continued, "that that
constitutes some sort of high wa
ter mark on this campus"
Good luck" Amy grinned, land
if you make it, don't forget your
little roommate gets a dance with
him"
"Pll make you sit up on your
hind legs and beg" Susan threat
ened. Only 10 o'clock-think I'll
give him =! ring right now"
Success
CHE dialed the Pi Gam house
~ and a pledge answered. Susan
asked to speak to Todo and a mo-
ment later he was on the wire.
Hello, quarterback" she greet
ed him f1ippantly, this is Susan
Drake"
eli" he replied.
well, go ahead = ask how 1
am" she prompted him, and she
heard his laugh at the other end.
tI called to ask you to our
house dance a week from Satur-
day night-that's nine days no.
tee Enough?"
She meant to be abrupt but she
didn't figure she would take him
by this much surprise; he didn't
say anything for three or four Sec
onds but it seemed like a minute.
Dancer" he echoed. "Why II
don't know. L"
do you have date that night?"
she cut in.
mo, but"
mo buts-and I'm not used to
pleading case when it involves
nothing more important than a
dance invitation, if you get what
l mean"
Again he laughed. "Okay-call
off your dogs, Pm flattered and
honored by your invitation. But
my mood that night will depend
on what we do to Michigan State
that afternoon"
IT'S a deal-and all in my IA
vor," she said.
There was triumphant express
sion on Susan's face when she en-
tered her room. "Scrape low
you're looking at the first Delta
Sig-or the first anybody on rec
ord-who was able to lasso Mr..
Todd Malone for a dance" she
said to Amy.
sAmy's eyes popped. "The win
ner and new champion. How'd
you do it?n
Now that you ask me-" Susan
told her, 'T don't know. I'll have
to make further study of the SUBJ
ject."
