OFF TO THE BALL:
'Molly, Moller
Or, Life Is Jus
Molly and me and our six-
month-old Mollerina have a nice
two and one-third rooms apart-
ment, completely furnished with
bathtub fixtures included, just off
campus and it costs only $67.50 per
month because I'm caretaker and
keep the fires ablaze through sick-
ness, death, and between semes-
ters.
I was here before, you know.
In fapt, I took Molly to the J-Hop
in '41 (Goodman and Krupa, you
know) and it was only a few days
later that Molly and me were en-
gaged.
But that's too far behind the
story. The editor says he thinks
that fathers and mothers at the
J-Hop this year have to go
through quite a bit, make a big
sacrifice, you know, for the single
night's fun and frolic. So he wants
me to tell just how it all comes
about.
A Sacrifice
Molly and me agree that it's a
big experience, although we have a
sneaking hunch that all life is one
big sacrifice.
We were munching doughnuts,
sipping warm, scintillating rich
brown coffee and enjoying a
morning Chesterfield together with
The Daily (Life Can Be Beautiful)
in our snug kitchenette when
Molly said:
"Oh, look! Ziggy Elman and
Jimmie Lunceford."
"Great Shades of Caesar, wom-
an," I cried. "Get them in the
right order. Lunceford and El-
man!"
Of Course We Won't Go
"Yes, dear," Molly replied,
snatching the paper from my
grasp and forcing me to look at
her. "Of course, we won't go."
"Of course."

Eleven Month Cold
Racing wintry winds swept over
the Michigan campus today as
the weather bureau predicted that
the present cold spell may con-
tinue for another 11 months.
Meteorologist F. M. Icicle told a
reporter that we can expect frig-
id winter -weather next January.
"I seldom like to go out on a
limb," Icicle said, "but you can't
gainsay this weather."
Students who had been routed
to Denver to avoid the tremen-
dous snowfall in the North and
Midwest didn't quite know wheth-
er or not he was joking.
