COLLEGE ROUNDUP:
Public Mystified by Zany Student Stunts
By CRAIG WILSON
When a Northwestern coed once
lunched on a grasshopper on a
$7 dare and promised to dine on
a scorpion for another $7, John
Q. Public probably had a hunch
that students are nuts.
He is right. They are:
WHEN FORBIDDING BLACK
clouds darkened the sky during a
football game at the University
of Missouri, one student entre-
preneur raked in cash selling sou'-
westers.
In order to further stimulate
sales, he offered one shbt of
wine with each set of water-
repellants.
According to the Missouri Stu-
dent, as he was escorted away by
blue-coated stalwarts, he shouted
to his date to continue selling the
hats.
* * *
ZANIEST JOB OF ALL was one
that occupied a Dartmouth stu-
dent last summer.
With five other youths, he
tramped 1,600 miles about the
New England countryside in an
attempt to prove that a certain
brand of rubber heels were bet-
ter than leather ones, according
to the Dartmouth.
Chiropodists checked their toot-
sies every 1,000 miles for signs
of blisters, hardening of the arter-
ies andegangrene. After the test
they announced that it had prov-
en both types equally effective
clod-hopper material, but that
rubber out-trod leather 2 to 1.
They also said that it had proven
many foot disorders resulted from
improperly fitted shoes and neg-
lect of simple foot hygiene.
HARD-PRESSED EDITORS of
the Yale Daily News found that
at the last minute some copy boy
had misplaced a picture of a
mountain-music band they had
intended to publish.
With their deadline only sec-
onds away and nothing to fill
the great white space, they in-
serted a painting of two prehis-
toric monsters happily engaged
in committing a Highland Fling.
The caption read:
"We actually had a picture of
the yokels in the story but some-
one snitched it. So the only thing
we could find in our up-to-date
files was this little item which
admittedly has no connection with
anything whatsoever."
A CRACK TEAM of University
of Illinois recently competed in a
tense struggle with the best com-
petition the nation could muster
-in a tasting contest.
They comp'eted with 27 other
tongue-trained epicures repre-
senting schools all over the na-
tion.
Don't laugh. Members of the
victorius squad got $850 scholar -
ships, according to the Daily Illi-
ni.
"I LOVE SKELETONS AND
skulls. I think they are beautiful
and gorgeous."
These thoughts come to us
from a Hunter College woman
student whom reporters for the
Hunter Arrow credit with hav-
ing a not-so-bad frame herself.
Last summer she dug in the
dirt with her bare feet and un-
earthed them and various other
non-de-script fossils.
She was a journalism major un-
til discovering that she "couldn't
live without anthropology."
* * *
AWARD- FOR THE "Prize Stunt
of 1948" undoubtedly went to an
unnamed student, at a school we
will not mention.
The "stunt" cost him his life.
He attempted to climb the al-
most vertical face of a mountain
near his campus. With him was
an equally fool-hardy companion
who was spared when he could
"go no further."
* *
NEITHER CARRIED equip-
ment. Neither had ever climbed
so much as a hillock before.
Neither told anyone where he was
going or what he was attempting.
Both knew that this particu-
lar mountain face had claimed
six lives already.
Now seven are gone and John
Q. Public is positive students are
nuts!
'Ens ian Will
Print Photos of
Men in Drms
All the men in the dorms now
have a chance for their pictures to
appear in the Michiganensian.
For the first time in its history
the 'Ensian will have a section for
pictures of the residents of the
quadrangles. The entire section
will devoted to them, and set off
by a division page.
. MEMBERS OF A house will be
split into two groups for the pic-
ture-taking. Pictures will be two
on a page, thus giving each house
its own page.
This is the. first time such an
arrangement has been attempt-
ed and members of the 'Ensian
sale staff who were behind the
idea expressed themselves as be-
ing very satisfied with the re-
sults.
"We have had astounding re-
ception from the men in the
houses," Tom Cramer said.
Cramer, together with Slug
Kettler, and Bill Zerman, have
been busy contacting the dorms
about the set-up. So far ten
houses have signed contracts with
them. The houses are: West
Quad; Adams, Allen - Rumsey,
Lloyd, Wenley, Winchell, Wil-
liams; East Quad; Tyler, Hayden,
Greene and Straus.

By RALPH MATLAW
I can hear it now by Edward R. Murrow and Fred. W. Friendly
is a chronicle of the era 1933-1945 "told in the authentic sounds and
voices of the men who made this history" and narrated by Mr. Murrow
(Columbia MM-800). The album should be heard at least once, since
it recaptures many of the stirring and vital occasions of these years,
but the telescoping of those events into 45 minutes entails dire conse-
quences.
* * * *
THE ALBUM IS particularly disturbing because of the juxtapo-
sition of events. There is insufficient differentiation in sound, and
practically none in volume in the reaction of Germans and Italians to
Hitler and Mussolini before their acts of aggression and the reception
accorded Roosevelt by Congress before the declaration of war. The
hysterics of Hitler and Mussolini, the much more sedate, though
equally vituperative speech of Stalin and the avowals of friendship of
Roosevelt, Churchill and Truman for our allies of the east follow each
other so rapidly that the exact intentions of the speakers are not clear.
In the same manner, Herbert Morrison's magnificent spot narration of
the burning of the "Hindenburg," one of the few sections in the set
when verbosity gives way to sincerity, is followed within 30 minutes by
Chaplain Downey's prayer at Tinian before the take-off of the plane
that took to atom bomb to Hiroshima. The contrast is too stark to
make both acceptable.
CHOICE OF THE materials should have been sufficient editorial
comment, but Mr. Murrow's narration bridges a number of gaps de-
spite his tendency toward sensationalism. The continuity is highly
effective, especially when Mr. Murrow follows some of Churchill's
most impressive statements with the petty squabbling of the 1940 and
1944 presidential campaigns or when Premier Reynaud's frantic appeal
for help, ending with the reverberating "la France ne peut pas mourir,"
is followed immediately by the German broadcast of the surrender at
Compiegne.
* ..'. .
I CAN HEAR IT NOW contains numerous familiar voices and re-
calls many events of the recent past. In one sense it is highly provoca-
tive: it offers the opportunity to compare present with the original
impressions. This short documentation of international struggle could
be instrumental in destroying the vestiges of discarded attitudes and
in solidifying a current political outlook. However, the set is designed
primarily as an oral history, and as such it is a drastic failure. It does
not fail because of the comparatively small amount of material used
and it probably doesn't fail because of the nature of recent events.
it fails because it offers the one advantagenrecords of that nature
have, the actual sound and words, and then proceeds to editorialize
and dramatize so that there are two distinct progressions: the facts
and the comments. Either one or the other must be wrong as they ap-
pear in this album.
