No Panacea for
Homesick Blues
It may pay to advertise, but we
know some freshmen who don't agree
with the honorable George M.
It all happened like .this. There
were three poor little girls, all
alone in Ann Arbor, with not a soul
they knew to help them chase away
home-sickness, and the blues. (They
did know a couple of Medics, who ate
at their boarding-house but anyone
who knows Medics, knows how much
good that did them.) So they wore
out several pairs of perfectly good
shoes tramping along the campus
walks in i vain endeavor to meet
someone they could say "Howdy" to.
Then the youngest got one of those
rare things, an idea. That night, the
three crept stealthily about the
streets of Ann Arbor, dropping their
cards with their telephone numbers
on the back. They became so excit-
ed anticipating the fruitful results,
that they forgot to be lonesome-for
at least 15 minutes.
Next day they got three telephone
calls. One from the Ruinall Laundry
informing them how "nicely all gar-
ments entrusted to our care, are
laundried;" one enlightening them in
regard to "repairing, done while you
wait;" and one fromFlubbs, issuing
to them a cordial invitation to "try
our meals-best on the campus.
Talk about fruitful results!
