er graduate student of the Univer-
sity and past librarian at the Uni-

posers and writers.

In the basement a series of
rooms contained only rows of elec-

The conversation centered large-

and the faculty reply, "Yes, we
have come a long way."

'PUNCTUAL,' SAY FRIENDS:
Student's Blind Date 'Always on Time'
Porter Tells
About Mexican,
Experiences
"Mexico was at the door ofj
death, but with the revolution of
1921-22 came arenaissance; I saw
it," said Katherine Ann Porter,
noted novelist and visiting profes-
sor at the University yesterday
In the lecture, sponsored by the
Sociedad Hispanica, Prof. Porterf
told of her first adventure into the
world, when at the age of 25
years, she and several compan-
ions traveled to Mexico to gatherx
relics of the forgotten civiliza-
tions. No sooner did Prof. Porter
arrive than a revolution took place.
"I met all the most distinguished1
bandits," the Professor related,
"but they didn't seem any more
Banditish than a great many of
[the foreigners there," she said.
By JOEL BERGER
To his friends, Larry Morton ap-
pears to be a rosy-cheeked, slight-
ly gullible freshman.
Known to his buddies in South
Quad's Scott House as "Fentata-
Teeta," followed by two short
hand-claps, Morton has consist-
ently exhibited a customary desire
of University freshmen-the desire
to date women.
* * -*
AS A RESULT, he's signed up
for every exchange dinner held by
Scott House this year, and has
proved willing to go on blind dates
at a moment's notice.
Two nights ago, four of "the
boys in the corridor" arranged
to have him take out a girl they
claimed was "one of the most
impressive things on campus."
It all started on an elevator ride
to the fifth floor after dinner. Alex
Sarko, '56E, Dave O'Brien, '56E,
Walter Schrenk, '54E, and Colin
Fisher, '56E, were discussing the
girl. She was, according to Fisher,
"very punctual-always on time."
"Fehtata-Teeta" was impressed.
He asked the engineers to arrange
a date for him with her for Thurs-
day night. They replied that they
would, as "the pleasure is all ours."
* * *
MORTON was slightly distressed
about the "real doll" after he look-
ed through the Student Directory
and didn't find her listed. This
was explained however, when his
friends told him that his date was
a freshman who lived in town,
"and thus isn't listed in the di-
rectory."
At the approach of the prom-
ised hour for the date, 7:15 p.m.
Morton ran through his "four
Graham Receives
Minnesota Award
Prof. Samuel A. Graham of
the School of Natural Resources,
was awarded the "Ou.tstanding
Achievement Award of the Uni-
versity of Minnesota," in Minne-
apolis yesterday.
The award, which was present-
ed during the 40th anniversary of
the University of Minnesota School
of Forestry, is conferred upon
former students of the University
of Minnesota who have attained
high eminence and distinction.
S's--shine, shower, shampoo and
shave." As the minutes flew, Sar-
ko told him "you'd better hurry,
your woman is always very punc-
tual on dates."
When 7:10 rolled around, Mor-
ton was waiting for his date at
the appointed place--on the Mall
between Burton Tower and the
League. By 7:15, his date hadn't
shown up, but Morton's four
friends had slowly arrived one by
one to see how he liked his date.
"You're in the wrong meeting
place," Fisher told him. "You were
supposed to, be standing under-
neath Burton Tower, as she has
a class upstairs until 7:15."
Together, the five students
walked across the street. Just then,
the carillon bells began to chime.
* * *
FISHER pointed up at Burton
Tower. "Do you hear her? She's
playing upstairs," he said.
"Who?" Morton asked.
"Caroline Towers, your date,"
replied Fisher.
