(oddly enough), but yore ole Uncle
Roddy was out from the very day
school winded up for the Xmas
Yuletide and Sugar Bowl seasons
gathering up all, and we mean ALL,
of the contamination that might slip
through the type. So, dragging our
typewriter into the cool breeze (and
that’s just what Unc Rod needs after
that BURBONic plague in New Or
leans, we’ll jot down the gore and
dirt for your disapproval. . .
Starting then. . . BANG. . . hearts
and flowers galore. . . and pins and
rings. . For some ’twas "For Whom
thq Bell Tolls." but for others (and
they’ll know whom we mean) it was
“For Whom the Gong Sounds.”

Bolling Fortson, the Phi Mu. . . .

sparkler from Albany’s gift to the

dairying this quarter. . . No doubt
Carl really surveyed his pastures
well. . . . JIM FERGUSON gave

What’s that old adage about ex
perience being the best teacher?
Well, we profited not and so found
ourselves once again bucking the
Co-op book line. Surmising that
roughly half the student body was
ahead of us, we inched forward
laboriously, moving from somewhere
In the area of the Law School to the
coveted Co-op—in four hours flat.

’Mr. Fix-it’ Is Busy
Keeping Trailers,
Stoves Operating
By Rufus Josey
The most common word around
Ag Hill's Trailer City is "Dan
tier” the magic name that means
help when something—anything—
goes wrong with a trailer. Ralph
Danner is the hard working fix-it
man for the 110-trailer community.
Genial and good-natured, Danner
lives in one of the trailers and is on
call day and night. "I’ve been called
to do everything from watching a
meal on the stove to changing
diapers,” the maintenance man ex-
planed with a characteristic grin.
He’s learned by now that when some
body knocks on his door in the mid
dle of the night it isn't likely to mean
a dire emergency. Chances are it
will be someone wanting a nickel
for a phone call or the coke machine.
Danner was asked to comment on
the fact that many of the husbands
in Trailer City do a lot of the cook
ing and washing, Danner said;
"Cooking and washing dishes is all
right—if they want to spoil their
wives—hut It's going a little too far
when they wash their wives clothes,
as I've seen some of them doing.”
Which possibly explains the fact that
Danner is a single man.
“Give me your hand; before this holy friar. . . Tom McDermott

ing stage production, “Much Ado About Nothing." The Barter Theatre
of Virginia will present the play which was written liy that old favorite—

University Turriners’ Claim
Two French Representatives
By Beva Ann Dame
The foreign element of Georgia
can now claim among its members
two students from France—one, red-
haired Nicole De L' Hellas; the oth
er, fascinating Francis Eugene Cav-
rois.
Both students previously complet
ed studies at the University of Paris
Law School before deciding to come
to America to further their educa
tion. “Nlcki” decided on Georgia
upon the recommendation of her
American fiancee. He evidently rated
"Southern hospitality" highly, for he
assured her that the people would
be friendlier and the chances of her
becoming homesick less likely.
Study In America Is like a dream
come true for Francis Cavrols. When
the Allied troops invaded Normandy
he wus right on the scene of action
serving us a guide. He quickly learn
ed from the American soldiers more
about the country which he soon
hoped to visit.
In Paris after many disappointed
trips to the Embassy office, he wus
offered the Rotary scholarship which
i makes his presence at Georgia now
possible. Theodore T. Molnar, of
Cuthbert, was contacted by the Em
bassy, and he arranged for the stu
dent's acceptance at Georgia and lat
er passage to America.
The recent shipping strike hinder
ed Cavrois’s departure from France
and subsequent arrival in this coun
try in time to begin regular class-
work In connection with his docto
rate, but the undaunted student was
not of a lazy nature. He began audi
ting classes in economics and busi
ness administration to collect infor
mation for his thesis, which deals
with the textile Industry of lb«- Unll-
ed States and Its reconversion prob
lems.
If Georgia students expect to be
able to distinguish this foreign pair
by their clothes or bewildered atti
tude, they are undoubtedly in for a
surprise. Nicole and Francis could
easily pass for the uverage Georgia
girl and boy. Sweaters, skirts, socks,
and the Inevitable saddle oxfords
have become the dally woarlng ap
parel for the French girl. Tho matter
of makeup is perhaps the one point
In which Nlcki differs most from hor
American associates — she just
doesn’t believe It necessary.
in May she plans to return to
France to marry It. Ray Burrus, of
St. Louis, who hus been studying
for the past few months at the Ecole
de Mines in Paris. The couple will
later return to this country, so that
Lt. Burrus cun complete his educa
tion at M. I. T. In Massachusetts.
Nicole in Mary Lyndon Hull and
Francis in Joe Brown Dormitory
have found Georgia students to bo
most helpful and enthusiastic In ex
plaining the more confusing aspects
of American college life.
Old I^imp-Li^hter
Watches O'er Nijjrbt
If per chance uny of our more
energetic couples have resorted to
strolling the campus for peace of
mind, they have without doubt met
our utomic version of the Old Ump
Lighter—the night wutchinan.
Should there be confusion within
readers’ minds as to where the “Light
er” makes the night a little brighter,
they should ask uny cricket that has
established a home In campus shrub
bery. During his walks OLL is con
stantly remembering the days of long
ago with Chloe, and carries an old
hut as a symbol of ills devoted love.
It is said that the Old Lamp
Lighter on the campus Is surround
ed by people with fresh ideas.
Trailertown Wives
Instruct Husbands
In Household Arts
By Roy Powell
No doubt the days of real he-men
are still here, check the football
dormitory for verification on that,
but Just for the sake of the record
take a look-see on the activities of t
the men around Ag Hill Trailer-
town. Maybe you’ll say it takes real
he-men to stand up to the things
the boys are doing over there, at
any rule the opportunities for train
ing for these married men students
are practically unlimited.
Wives over that way are offering
special courses in the fine arts of
cooking, wnshing dishes, cleaning
house, wnshing and ironing, and oth
er household chores—for men only!
Take a look: there’s a fellow hang
ing out a line of freshly done (wash
ed. that is) diapers; peek into the
next trailer and you may find a hus
ky slxfooter, with a fancy feminine
apron draped uliout him, preparing
the evening meal or wnshing dishes.
One fellow declares he became the
chief cook mainly through an un
fortunate trick of fate. "Neither of
us could cook when we married, so
we started learning together; I just
caught on quicker than she, durn
It!"
Another husband cooks In self-
defense. "You ought to try to eat
her cooking,” ho frowned.
A peek into the family trailer
units might reveul Papa ontertninlng
the liuby, or perhaps giving Junior
a change.
Before leaving the area, check the
laundry trailers. This business of
the weekly wash has become slightly
mechanlzod. There you probably find
haggard husband, tired after a long
day of classes, tending the baby,
cooking, and washing dishes. But
there he is, bending over a Bendix,
muttering a prayer of thunks to the
administration for installing the
automatic machines. He puts a dime
in the slot and relaxes while the
washing machine does the dirty
work.
"This is the easiest Job of all," he
comments, "Ironing is what gets me
down.”
Anyway you look at lt, he-men or
no, you must admit that the boys
are getting a practical education
through their extra-curricular ac
tivities.
And concerning lt all the men
take the philosophical, tho panoram
ic, the obvious outlook.
Exhibit Winner Fells
How to Spend $250
Given $250, how would you spend
It?
The distaff portion of the campus
would probubly buy clothes while
the males would Invest in fishing
tackle or golf clubs. Mrs. Mary
Loath Thomas, associate professor
of urt and tho proud recipient of
$250 for her prize-winning picture,
"Muted Birds," says she will spend
her prize money for art books and
materials. She was recently awarded
second prize in the tenth North Car
olina Artist’s Exhibition at Raleigh,
N. C.
Mrs. Thomas, who did a year’s
work at the University of North
Carolina and received her M. S. de
gree at Duke, said that anyone who
had ever lived In North Carolina was
qualified to participate In the ex
hibition.
"So I sent In ’Muted Birds' ", she
said, "and later received word that
the picture had won first prize In
the water color category and second
prize in the show. I’ve already sub
scribed to some art magazines.”
Mrs. Thomas described her picture
as a semi-abstract gouache in muted
colors. "An abstract,” she explained,
"is a picture which has no definite
subject." Laughingly, she told how
a Raleigh newspaper reproduced a
print of her picture with the caption
I “This Object Won a $250 Brize.”
