Though it had to throw off throes
of sleep before its early morning air-
ing, "Collegiate Quiz" must have
sparkled Saturday. Or perhaps it
was "Hanky Panky's" innate perki-
ness. Anyway, since its fifteen min-
utes over WJR, a hundred fan let-
ters have deluged Morris Hall.
So far, seven states and Canada
have requested Hanky Panky lists.
Ministers, collegians, librarians, and
potential lives-of-the-party have
written for hankies to give. Young
and old, humble and haughty, those
concerned with the social success of
clubs in schools and churches, of
metropolis and township-from Oke-
mos to Sugarcreek--have succumbed
to Hanky Pany's spell.
Plans are now afoot for compos-
ing a H.P. song, and ingenious insti-
gators Soenksen, Chown and Silcott,
are even evolving a wall map where-
upon the writing audience will be
virtually thumb-tacked.
More Mail Gleanings .
The incoming Morris Hall mail
brings other tidings, too. Most lately,
that of one more student settled in
broadcasting--Kay Schultz, Grad.
After eigh teen auditions during the
summe.'-rom which little resulted
but discouragement, she found it
"not much fun," forcing herself into
station after station "always to be
told you're good, but they've nothing
for you."
Cae then the long-distance call
that summoned her whizzing to the
services of KMMG, at Grand Island,
Nebr. . . . She describes "Nebraska's
Friendly Station" as typically wes-
tern, even to the "hog and cattle
reports." For the nonce; Kay is help-
ing build up friendly public rela-
tions through work as receptionist,
and continuity writer.
Airing Addenda . . .
Today, in the WJR program of
radio reading and drama at 3:30 p.m.
more will prevail of original plays

and dramatic adaptations of famous
stories and poetry. Catherine Dolch,
Grad., cares for the announcing.
Lamarr Rescued!
Poster Recovered
From Student Fans
"Eestacy" melted into disappoint-
ment yesterday when a life-size re-
production of exotic Hedy Lamarr
Was removed from the living quar-
ter's of two students.
When the glamorous Hedy's last
starring vehicle appeared in Ann Ar-
bor, two students, wending their
weary way homeward from the lo-
cal beer parlors, caught a glimpse of
the attractive advertisement and
were immediately conquered by de-
sire. While the usher was looking
the other way they stole into the
lobby, and, released from all inhibi-
tions, purloined the appealing poster.
All went well for about three weeks,
until their landlady, not apprecia-
tive of "Joe College" pranks and pos-
sessed with a puritanical sense of
duty, telephoned the theatre man-
ager.
When the students arrived home
after a hard day at Angell Hall, their
disillusionment at finding the prized
possession missing was indescribable.
The mystery, however, was solved
by a little note, neatly typewritten
and tacked to the wall where the
sign had been. It proclaimed:
"The sign ways taken out of the
suite by two men who told me they
came from the M----- Theatre and
had been trying to locate it for a
