Student Government
Second Book Exchange Under
Consideration For December
By Sally Washburn
The Student Government Association is making plans
to conduct its second book exchange, if necessary.
The exchange program pro
vides students with a clearing
house for selling books to one
another. By cutting out the mid
dle man, students save money
THE WEST GEORGIAN
in buying used textbooks. The
Student government has, in the
past, undertaken this task as a
student service. If no similar
service is planned for the end of
this quarter by any other agen
cy. the student government book
exchange will go into operation.
Further developments on this
matter will be annouced in the
December issue of the West
Gecrgian.
A1 Cohen, editor of the West
Georgian, pointed out to the as
sociation that if it desires name
entertainment for the Spring
dance, now set for Saturday,
May 18, the dance will have to
be moved back to Friday Might.
He pointed out that
tainment on a Saturday night
w'ould be entirely out of our fi
nancial reach. The Association
requested that Mr. Cohen meet
with the Junior class officers
and sponsors as they are the
sponsors of the dance. Results
of this meeting will be presented
before the next meeting of the
association.

HAPPY TALK
As we nil know, conversation is terribly important on a date.
When lulls in the conversation run longer than an hour or two,
one’s partner is inclined to grow logy—even sullen. But oc
casionally one finds it difficult to keep the talk going, especially
when one is having a first date with one. What, then, does one do?
If one is wise, one follows the brilliant example of Harlow
Thurlow.
Harlow Thurlow prepares. That is his simple secret. When
Harlow is going to take out anew girl, he makes sure in advance
that the conversation will not languish. Before the date, he
goes to the library and reads all 24 volumes of the encyclopedia
and transcribes their contents on his cuffs. Thus he makes sure
that no matter what his date’s interests are, he will have ample
material to keep the conversation alive.
Take, for example, Harlow’s first date with Priscilla de
Gasser, a fine, strapping, blue-eyed broth of a girl, lavishly
constructed and rosy as the dawn.
Harlow was, as always, prepared when he called for Priscilla,
and, as always, he did not start to converse immediately. First
he took her to dinner because, as everyone knows, it is useless
to try to make conversation with an unfed coed. Her attention
span is negligible. Also, her stomach rumbles so Loud it is diffi
cult tu make yourself iicard.^
So he took her to a fine steak house where lie stoked her with
gobbets of Black Angus and mounds of French fries and thick
ets of escarole and battalions of petit fours. Then, at last,
dinner was over and the waiter brought two finger bowls.
“I hope you enjoyed your dinner, my dear,” said Harlow,
dipping into his finger bowl.
“Oh, it was grandy-dandy!” said Priscilla. “Now let’s go
someplace for ribs.”
“Later, perhaps,” said Harlow. “But right now, I thought
we might have a conversation.”
“Oh, goody, goody, two-shoes!” cried Priscilla. “I been
looking everywhere for a boy who can carry on a intelligent
conversation.”
“Your search is ended, madam,” said Harlow, and pulled
back his sleeves and looked at his cuffs to pick a likely topic to
start the conversation.
Oh, woe! Oh, lackaday! Those cuffs on which Harlow had
painstakingly transcribed so many facts—those cuffs on which
he had noted such diverse and fascinating information—those
cuffs, I say, were nothing now but a big, blue blur! For Harlow
—poor Harlow!—splashing around in the finger bowl, had gotten
his cuffs wet and the ink had run and not one word was legible !
And Harlow—poor Harlow!—looked upon his cuffs and broke
out in a night sweat and fell dumb.
“I must say,” said Priscilla after several silent hours, “that
you are a very dull fellow. I’m leaving.”
With that she flounced away and poor Harlow was too
crushed to protest. Sadly he sat and sadly lit a cigarette.
All of a sudden Priscilla came rushing back. “Was that,” she
asked, “a Marlboro you just lit?”
“Yes,” said Harlow.
“Then you are not a dull fellow,” she cried, and sprang into
his lap. “You are bright! Anybody is bright to smoke such a
perfect joy of a cigarette as Marlboro which is just chock full
of yummy flavor, which has a Selectrate filter which comes in a
soft pack that is really soft, and a Box that really flips,
and which can be bought wherever cigarettes are sold in all fifty
states and Duluth . . . Harlow, tiger, wash your cuffs and
be my love.”
“Okay,” said Harlow, and did, and was. • m 2 m**shuima*

The makers of Marlboro cigarettes, who orint this column
at hideous expense throughout the school year, are very
happy for Harlow — and for all the rest of you who have dip*
covered the pleasures of Marlboro.
