WASHINGTON-"I got to be the wheel I am by following the
fine, upstanding principles my old man learned me down on the
farm," Dr. John A. Humble said yesterday, with a straight face.
Humble is the new director of the Draft-All-Non-Agricultural-
Students Bureau and the former strawboss of Michigan College for
Bovines.
"What sort of studies would you recommend for a would-be
wheel?" the nosey Daily reporter asked.
"Something in the classical line-sort of intellectual, like,"
Humble mumbled.
"Such as chicken farming?" our man suggested.
"Yeah, something hard like that," he snapped
"ASIDE FROM your intellectual achievements in chicken farm-
ing, what else has led you to the prominent position you now
hold?" The Daily reporter asked<> a*
craftily.
"Just like all America's wheels,
I started at the bottom and
worked up the hard way," Hum-
ble declared and thumped him-ยข

"From a poor little barefoot lad

few misty tears began to patter
down on the mahogany desk and
he pulled a red bandanna from a
hip pocket of his tux.
"I worked up the hard climb

cow college in the nation," he
said.

revealing plans for a new era of
service projects.
The legendary stallion will be

of the potent racer the last five
days of his stay, he added.
This will be merely the un-

Willens chuckled over the way enraged by the SL coup d' amour.
SL had finessed the Union bureau- "We've always given the students

John Q. Harton has been dis-
missed from his position as head
of the University's custodial force,
it was announced yesterday.
The penalty was imposed on
Harton after he was apprehend-
ed attempting to steal the Admin-
istration Building last week.
"Honesty is the best policy,"
commented University Vice-Con-
sul Jay Morgan Pierpont.
Harton was somewhat dazed
over his summary dismissal. He
declared wistfully that he had
"never even stolen a pencil."
-Meanwhile, an investigation of
alleged "irregularities" in the Uni-
versity Boy Scout chapter was re-
ported to be underway.
Sin Refuted
By Hamhock
"Those who do, do, and those
who don't don't," snickered Dean
of Affairs Deborah Hamhock as
she adjusted a garter by way of
opening yesterday's weekly press
conference.
Refuting alumnae charges that
University girls' morals are at an
all-time low, Dean Hamhock com-
mented "those old hens used to
have a pretty hot time when they
were here."

Man O'War will arrive on
campus in a lead box car after
completing his present European
tour. Arrangements are almost
set for quartering in the well-
equipped stable on the top floor
of Southern Dormitory.
Peter A. Oxford, Residence Hall
mogul, promised that Man O'War
would be fed with egg-enriched
hay to ensure a good performance
during his stay.
THERE seemed to be some con-
troversy brewing over his stay in
the dormitory. Al Ferry, '65E&D,
Czar of the Inter-House and
Daisy-Picking Society, protested
that the horse would disturb the
quadders living in the stable.
However, Oxford pointed out
that they were already getting
two glasses of milk at dinner.
After all, this isn't the Waldorf-
Astoria, he added.
Appointments can be made at
the Student Legislature Castle,
half a block south of The Daily.
The Survey Dynamics Center
will study student attitudes to-
wards the new project, report back
what sort of service is needed and
wanted by the student body.
