WAR BONDS and STAMPS Frozen Gold Ice Cream Around The Columns We are devoting considerable space in this issue to the darlings of the campus-the pledges. The boys and girls who sought them out, studied them, and attached a song title to their names, report that this year, as usual, we have all kinds. To get the lowdown on the 500 , study the titles at- tached to their names. Each and every one was applied only after due consideration. * COME BACK, JOE If anyone sees Joe Showme, tell him to come back to his home in Room 13, Walter Williams Hall. Tell him the entire staff is sorry about the going-over he got and assure him we'll never give him the bum's rush again-if he'll choose his jokes more care- fully. Our nerves were a bit frayed or we wouldn't have lost control the other day when he insisted on telling us the brand new jokes he heard from a girl in Kansas .City. Gags like, "Thanks for the dance, the pres- sure was all mine," and "Did you hear about the guy who moved to the city when he heard that the country was at war," were a little hard to take when we were trying to get the maga- zine to bed. But we'll all be in good spirits until next deadline and we miss the little shaver. We'd make this appeal to Joe personally but, since he's a fresh- man and can't read, we're asking our vast sea of readers to be on the lookout. THE TRUTH We got a good deal of satis- faction from a remark made by a professor the day classes opened this semester. About ten minutes after the lecture started a student sheepishly rose from his seat and shuffled out of the room. Perhaps the professor was looking back to the time he was in the same situation or looking ahead to the day he'd make the same mistake. "As a matter of fact," he announced, "more fac- ulty members than students find themselves in the wrong room on the first day of a new semester." IRON MIKE Although he doesn't make the headlines, "Iron Mike" Fitzger- ald, the little round man of Mis- souri football, enjoys the popu- larity of any of the squad's flashy backs. His broad, Irish smile, which even a savage body block can't wipe away, is as potent a stimulant to friendship as anything we have ever seen. We sent a man down to the gym to chat with "Blimpy" and pick up a few biographical facts. Michael, a St. Louis boy, learned about football on corner lots. In those days play didn't stop until all twenty-two men piled on one another. Time out was called for any man who wished to discuss a point with his fists. At C. B. C. High Mike saw action from the fullback position on the same team that shed light on the football possi- bilities of young Robert Steuber and he played against Bernie Pepper and Jack Lister. A scout stopped off long enough to in- terest him in going to Louisiana State University but he stayed there only three months, journey- ed back to the north and enrolled at St. Louis U. There he met Dick Phful, later a Billiken star, who encouraged him to come to M. U. Shortly thereafter Mike came to Missouri and Phful, who seemed to have changed his mind about the whole thing, left Columbia for St. Louis U. He debunked the predictions of St. Louis coaches who told him he was too small to play by becoming one of the most out- standing linemen in the confer- ence. Besides earning the "Iron Mike" title he is without chal- lenge the comedian of the outfit. During the half in a recent game, Coach Faurot was telling the boys they weren't using their heads; they were playing (Continued on page 4) 3 Around the Columns (Continued from page 3) "muscle ball." Fitzgerald ambled within hearing distance and re- marked, "Not I. I play with me brains." His ever-ready wit, and his tales from true life, are treats on the team's trips for out-of-town games. He remembers the 28-0 defeat M. U. gave Oklahoma last year as his best game. The high point of his gridiron career, he says, came in his first game as a sophomore when he caught a Christman lateral and ran twenty- five yards against St. Louis U. Another incident that stands out in his mind concerns the day he rode from a downtown hotel in Columbus to the Ohio State field. The bus, over-crowded with foot- ball players, was escort ed 4 through the busy section of town, throught a maze of traffic and pedestrians, by three motorcycle policemen. He rates Fordham's Steve Filopowicz a nd Pitt's George Kracum as the best men he's ever played against but he insists he hasn't yet seen a back to stack up against Bob Steuber. THE WOMEN A gang of coeds got together recently to indulge in their fav- orite pastime: conversation. In the course of the afternoon a pretty blonde addressed a girl she had been ignoring in a grand fashion. " I hear Walt offered you his pin," she said. "Did he tell you that he once asked me to wear it?" "No," was the answer, "but he did tell me there were some things in his past life he was ashamed of." SUMMING UP A senior who expects to be in uniform before long was telling his girl they ought not be mar- ried until after the war. But she had a one-track mind and could see nothing but a honeymoon train. "Even if it's only for a little while, darling," she said, "I'll cook for you, darn your socks, polish your shoes, lay out your clothes in the morning and your pipe and slippers in the evening, and keep any little place we get looking neat and homey." She teasingly added, "What else could any man ask for?" "Nothing," he said, "unless he was evil-minded." Did you hear about the girl who went to a masquerade dressed as a telephone operator and before the eve- ning was over had three close calls?

(Continued on page 10) Dean's Campus Shop OWED TO OUR VERSE By Bill Froug JUST TAKE AN EVENING in the winter-time in the merry merry month of November, And whatever evening it is brother, Grab It, because it will be one of t ae few ones you'll be able to remember! Because you're going to be so tied up in study hall that you imagine you are, in something like a steel mesh, man . . . . . But you're not .... . You're a FRESHMAN ! ! ! Yes, you're the boy Whose only joy Is making dates - - - - Who feels quite cool Toward Sophomore rule, And jeers at fate. But don't you bend And feel your end Each night at eight. You bet you do ! THE GIRL OF YOUR DREAMS is the sweetest girl of all the girls you know . . . . . But dreaming is about as close as you'll get when you learn that Freshman Rule No. 929 also tells you when and where to go. And each soft caress may be sensational in a vision, But the closest you are likely to come to caressing is if you bump into a queen on Jesse Walk and have a mild collision. Yes, you're the Joe Who'd like to go To every hop. Who has a dream Of every queen - - - - But that's the stop! And then you find What's on your mind Is quite a flop You bet you do. YOUNGER GENERATION ART By Jack Dick-Peddie OH PASS THE LOVING CUP AROUND, don't pass a brother by and if you are under the illusion that you won't get passed by- Then may I recommend "ALCOHOL AND YOU" by Anthony J. Nye. In fact, take a tip from anybody concerning the possibilties of your getting stinko, blotto, or fried, And it will be the brotherhood from whom you are trying to hide. Yes, you seem to think You love to drink, And guzzle beer. You sit in back Of smoke-screened Shack, And sip with fear. But don't you know It's not your show- And that's quite clear. You bet you do. I'M GOING TO BUILD A CASTLE BLUE AND WHITE, I'm going to hold bull sessions every night. Which is like some idiot in a mad house singing "I'm Fit to Be TIGHT." And as for the bull sessions, you can bank on them every evening but don't depend on the "bull" ... And may I recommend that you attend these sessions wearing trousers of particularly heavy wool! Yes, you're the pledge Who tries to edge Away from Rule. Who thinks romance Is only chance - - - - And part of school. And then you see, It's meant to be That you're the fool. You bet you are. EPILOGUE With the uncertain future And the glorified past Of poor noble Freshmen, Let's hope you can last!

(Continued on page 19) DAILY CLEANERS Success Story I was bulling with Jackie at the Campus drug, sipping a coke and relaxing after the grind of registering. A regular guy was the way the boys would describe Jackie Ferguson. She wasn't beautiful in the conventional way, because beauty has to be fem- inine, That was the last way she looked after press time, with a smudge of printer's ink on her face, a pencil tucked in her dis- heveled blonde hair, drinking beer surrounded by a gang of embryo journalists whose school day comes to an end when the last paper is rolled off the presses in the basement of Neff. Although there had never been much said between us, I kind of took it that Jackie and I would get together for good one of these days. The C. D. was busy, and thick with smoke from countless Cam- els and Phillip Morris' that curled up and away from the crowded booths. I tossed away the straw that I had folded into accordion pleats and looked at the people about us. "A particular kind of people these college students," I said mostly to myself. "Look at these kids. They dress alike: tan sweaters, saddle shoes and khaki hats. And the gals don't have any more variety." "These cokes are getting you down, big shot," Jackie drawled in her Texas fashion. "You'd bet- ter stick to beer . . . besides, how would you classify that?" I followed her gaze to the fountain. He was standing there in the center of a crowd of gab- bing students. But I'd never seen a person look more alone. He was trying to order a coke or root beer, I guess, unable to attract the attention of the fountain boy squirting brownish fluid into partly-iced glasses. He appeared as out-of-place in that crowd as W. C. Fields at a W. C. T. U. convention; otherwise, he might have looked like any other Ag student fresh off the farm. He was wearing a pair of brown denim pants, a rough blue work shirt, open at the collar, and his sleeves were rolled up displaying a pair of browned, heavy arms. He looked no different from five hundred other students, except for the expression on his face. I've always taken pride in my powers of description, but I'll be damned if I can put in words the look about him as he waited to get his drink. It was the look of someone you might see at a party, happy he's received an in- vitation but sorry he's come be- cause he doesn't know anyone. He was the kind of guy who did- n't want anything from anyone . . . except a friendly word. I had just about forgotten him when, a few days later, he came in at the Student office and asked for the sports editor. I was argu- ing with Bill again over some crack about Stephens I wanted to put in my column. I looked up and there he was, wearing the same denim pants and a T-shirt. "I'm Alan Welch," he said simply and I was surprised at his careful pronunciation. "I'm a transfer from Cape Teachers, going into journalism." Here his poise and asurance seemed to leave him. "I . . . I thought . . . I figure I might get some helpful training for journalism school writing for the Student." "Glad to know you, Alan," I answered glibly and introduced Bill. "You want to write sports?" He nodded. "I'm out for foot- ball and I wrote sports for two years at teachers' college." "O. K. Alan," I said. "I guess we can take care of you." You couldn't help liking the guy. He had a way of listening to you that made you feel im- portant. He never said much but when he did it was worth hear- ing. Alan was no slouch on the football field, either. He stood over six feet and weighed close to one-ninety, but to him football was something he had to play in order to go to school. The new conference ruling had made him eligible and he had a good job in the Gym. I don't know how it came about, but without any particular desire on my part, I took him under my wing. One day he told me he had saved anough money to buy a suit and asked me to he-,, pick it out. Later he told me it was the second suit of clothes he had ever owned. Through me he got to meet some of the big-wigs around the school, and, as he was accepted into their inner circle, his shy- ness wore off. He was intelligent, of that there was no doubt, and he had a real writing ability. He had nursed the desire throughout the time he had left school to help run his father's farm. He had found time to work, edit a paper, and play All-state foot- ball in high school. What he lacked most of all was the polish that comes from social inter- course. Now he was getting that. It was Jackie who brought to my attention the metamorphosis of Alan Welch. At the Dale one Saturday night after a home game she spotted him walking in with a smooth date. He looked pretty good in a grey tweed suit, white buttoned-down collar and maroon knit tie. "That Welch boy is a pretty nice article," Jackie said, nod- ding her head. "H'ya people," Alan waved at us as he went by. As the football season moved toward its climax and the Tigers proceeded towards a champion- ship and a bowl bid, I plunged wholeheartedly into the job of filing for I. N. S. and a string of papers in the Big Six area besides pumping out copy for the campus and local paper. Life became an interesting pattern of two-page releases, deadlines, snatched meals, and beer. Even my room- mates weren't seeing me, except in the evenings when we settled down in our tiny living room for a beer and a bull-session. The chips were down for the Oklahoma game. The town was filled, both with football visitors and an electric tension of expec- tancy that seems to pervade everything. The game, of course, is history.

Our juvenile knowledge of high school mathematics prompts us to this con- clusion, but each group of three can be totally different. This is cer- tainly the case in the Valley Con- ference as three weak sisters and a trio of roaring, hurtling ball clubs compose the Big Six. With a slide-rule, Doyle odds, or just plain 'football knowledge, no mortal can figure Kansas, Kansas State, or Iowa State in the same grid category as Missouri, Oklahoma and Nebraska. They have one thing in common: they are all brother schools in the Big Six. Philistines might scoff and refer you to the endless scroll of figures preserved about Big Six scores. We grant that one of the "little three" comes up with a fair club once every few years. They have been good! So did Chicago University in the golden days of Judge Walter Eckersall. But this argument bears no weight, friends. Since 1935 no team has won the Conference crown without a for- warding address in Norman, Lincoln or Columbia. Possibly the heart of one of the coaches of the "BIG THREE" will swell up to the size of a pea and bust some day. Then he will lend some second or third stringers to Ames, Manhattan, or Lawrence to liven up competition. The Big Six is weaker than usual this year but there is a definite drop from what- ever team will end up in third place to the outfit occupying the fourth post. We will attempt to prove how well second - let's even make it third-stringers could do for one of the other schools. Take Missouri for example It is known far and wide that the Bengals have a talented array of young ath- letes working out on Rollins Field. As some wise philosopher once phrased it, "Not just eleven good men, but thirty or more good men make up a great football team." And 20 Missouri has her quota. Let's give our third team to Kansas. Let's see now. . We'll open with the ends. Sticky- fingered Bob Wren, 182-pound soph- omore occupies the third team's left flank. The same Bob who caught a 42-yard Darr aerial against Wiscon- son. Big Jack Van Dyne holds down the other terminal post. These ends are tough-just look at the four ends above them (Morton, Ekern, Shurnas, and Lister) and you'll see four good reasons why these two are tough yet relegated to the third string. Next come the tackles. Stan Schultz would fit in at one and 201-pound Don Ghrist, also a sophomore, at the other. Would these two tackles- currently playing on the Bengal third team-help Kansas? Can a fish swim? Can Beazeley pitch? And now for the guards: The sunshine state of California blessed Coach Faurot with the person of 216-pound John Reginato. Paired with John on the third outfit we find Bill Ekern, sophomore brother of Bert and a lithe youngster seem- ingly riveted together. Four letter- men guards are keeping this pair down. Joe Morrow, well known to parti- sans who have viewed the Tigers in action on the home green this fall, occupies center. This heavyweight is tough and has seen action-and lots of it-because of an injury to first team Jeff Davis. A fine line- backer and an accurate snapper- back, Joe would fit well into our scheme of things. Why are these powers on the third team? Because the Bengals have four lettermen at end, four at tackle, four at guard, and one at center. Reason enough. We'll launch the backfield with keg-legged Ed Gerker at blocking back. Ed has seen a lot of time in varsity tilts this year despite the obvious disadvantage of playing be- hind "Glee" Adams and "Pumpkin" Pitts, two more M-men. Ed handles the ball well, knows how to fake or lateral from the T, and is a crush- ing blocker and tackler. Built like an army tank and just as solid, Ed will call our signals. Our two halves lack experience but their team will not lack ground gained. Both are sophomores. We'll have Harold "Bus" Entsminger at left half and Wilbur Volz at right. Bus clip-clopped his way for a 35- yard run against Ft. Riley and streaked 91 and 44 against Rolla's first team in a Missouri "B" game. He can pass, too. Sorta tough play- ing behind Steuber, Wade and Darr, isn't it Bus? Volz is one of the few good athletes from Illinois who did- n't sign all the effluvia of registra- tion at Champaign. He is fast and powerul. Volz plays the same spot that Bowen (when he is without crutches), Carter, and O'Hara work from. Big Keith Parker operates at full- back. He is big and fast and explos- ive. A couple of fellows who sign their checks "Don Reece" and "Fred Bouldin" handle the fullback spots on the first and second teams. That's why Keith is No. 3. Would this ball club win more games for Kansas this fall than their present eleven. The answer is spelled "Si" in Barcelona.

This is the age to be in Col- lege . . . nothing to worry about. Youth! It's wonderful! Take Jenny, for instance. Now, Jenny made up her mind when she was . . . (but that's another story.) So Jenny arrived for Rush Week. This is a typical example of the carefree joy of college life. Jenny hadn't a thing to worry about. She didn't know a soul in the really "big" sororities; but then, there were only two hundred and forty nine other girls being rushed, and Jenny had been around quite a bit. If, by some chance, she wasn't asked to pledge, she didn't have a place to live-what with the crowded housing - she would probably have to move in with the sailors. But this was college-nothing to worry about. Two days later Jenny sat quiet- ly in her hotel room with six other girls, having hysterics. Nobody had invited them upstairs. At every house, Jenny sat and watched much less attractive girls being led into the mysterious upper regions, to come back with secret smiles and hugs from the actives. And Jenny sat. If it hadn't been college, Jenny might have worried. Hysterics are part of the fun of Rush Week. Jenny pledged! College is full of surprises. So is Missouri. The weather suddenly turned frigid and Jenny's trunk didn't come. The sorority was wonderful. They gave her ribbons, dates, and pres- tige--but no blankets. So Jenny took cold. Blind date week! This was one of the happiest times of college life. Here it might be added that Jenny was a transfer and a full- fledged junior. The fraternity pledges seemed a little young, but then, as Jenny pointed out, she'd rather have a healthy fresh- man than a 4-F upperclassman. Her first date was a freshman- 4-F. Happy, happy days. True, he treated her with respect, sort of like taking his house mother to the picture show. Jenny's trunk still hadn't come and there were those who thought her cough sounded tubercular. But she skipped happily down to blind date after blind date. There was a buck-toothed legacy, and then came the big night in her life-Lochinvar complete in his zoot suit. Lochinvar, it developed, went steady, and was anxious for blind date week to end so he could settle down again. Friday afternoon J en n y clutched her catalogue and went to register. She walked in and inquired where she might find her advisor. The boy she addressed literally snorted and answered, "Sister, you don't get any advice around here." So Jenny made out her own program leafing at ran- dom through the catalogue. It proved quite interesting. She ended up with eighteen hours which some vulture readily ap- proved. After hours of standing in line they. snatched away her money, her copies of her sched- ule, and any evidence whatsoever that Jenny had enrolled in a sin- gle course. So she plodded hap- pily home, late for dinner, to try and figure out what it was she'd decided to take. Jenny saw her first football game in her new fall suit. They said it was a series of brilliant plays, but to Jenny it was just a series of chills. With blind date weekend a happy haze of memory, Jenny bounced into her eight o'clock class Monday morning. The tea- cher gave them the names of two books to be bought, immediately, both of which he had written. It sounded like a fascinating course, lecture five days a week and lab from eight to twelve on Saturday. After lunch Jenny hurried back to the book store to get all ready for her classes. She came out hours later, bruised, twenty dol- lars lighter, and full of eager an- ticipation for her studies. Thursday our little heroine was called into the Dean's office to explain her consistent absence from eight o'clock class. Jenny's original schedule and her recon- structed version proved to have differences. The Dean heard her story and her cough, and with a negative wagging of the head, straightened out the mess. Friday Jenny's trunk came. By this time she had begun to feel like one of Bernard McFadden's health disciples, and blankets gave her insomnia. Also, she'd gotten rather attached to the dress she'd been wearing all week and her two roommates were comfortably settled in the two closets-so she just left the trunk in the basement. Every day of college life brought some add- ed joy. Jenny had never known a happier time. We leave Jenny as another weekend is filling her life with excitement. We catch our last glimpse of her as she sits happily at her second college football game. Rain has turned her new felt snap brim into a jeep hat; water courses merrily down her upturned face; and she sloshes up and down exictedly as the team scores a touchdown. Nothing is so much fun as college. Just ask Jenny. You'll find her in the third bed on the right as you enter the hospital. She's the one with the pale pink pneumonia jacket.

Success Story (Continued from page 16) stadium late in the final quarter, it looked as if our cause was hopeless. Oklahoma's six points looked bigger than ever. Then a gold-clad Tiger picked a Sooner punt out of the air and set out for the opposite goal line. Sev- enty-eight yards later Al Welch crossed the last chalk stripe and then kicked the extra point. When the gun cracked, Missouri had its championship. I was surprised when I called Jackie's house to take her to the blowout at the Pennant that night. I hadn't asked her before you know; I had been much too busy. I figured she had taken a ride over with some of the others. The party was a big success and I was tight before I knew it, accepting congratulations for the team's victory as if I were the coach. Most of the prayers were there, letting their hair down after a long season. Only the big hero, Welch, seemed to be miss- ing. Then I saw them. They were dancing in an ad- joining room and there was a strange light in Jackie's eyes, something I had never seen be- fore. She looked small, almost frail, in his arms and her face arrested me. It wasn't the wise- cracking face that I had known. Somewhere, the hardness and cynicism had fled from it; only tenderness remained. I felt the touch of a hand on my arm and Bud handed me a telegram. I opened it and began searching for my hat and coat. "Where're you going?" he asked. "Home," I answered dully. The Star-Times wants me to wire to- night . . . a 'success story' on Alan Welch:" I.

Between classes in Jesse Hall, the newly acquired seekers of higher (???) education of this brain-factory can pick up many pointers on sartorial correctness on the M. U. campus to help in their readjustment process. In groups about the water-fountain and corners of that antiquated but stately edifice one can observe the Missouri male at his best--promoting a coke at C. D. with a cute Tri Delt, or a-date for the game with that little blonde Theta pledge. Bob Fay, Sigma Nu, can be seen in the Kappa corner discussing the difficulties of making the Great Lakes game with Patty Kewley .... both wearing herring-bone shetlands of the same pattern, tailored by Simpson's. Our local 1'homme elegant advocates casualness as the key-note for the class-room, vot- ing the corduroy jacket as most popular for those short naps in that dull eight o'clock. Prac- tical, too; you can get 'em dirty as hell if you get a dark shade like that one Tony Rolpe, Z. B. T., wears. Along with flannels or coverts, you're all set for a jelly date at Gaeb's. However, old man, don't forget those perennial saddle shoes,-they've worn many a groove in Jesse's steps and are as much a part of M. U. as Jay School's lions. Perhaps his nibs prefers not to wear a coat for the afternoon "Prayer meeting" at the Shack -well, buddy, a white cable-stitch sweater is your best deal. Spotted Gene Rene, SAE, wearing one at the game Saturday with his new Simpson brown stripe suit. Ted Stoltz, Sigma Nu pledge, and Simpson alumnus, favored grey flannel and Babs McFarland, Gamma Phi, for the game. Inci- dentally, no one ever mingled with the campus intelligentsia without a station-wagon coat, and take it from an old beat-up Junior, you'll be happy when that Columbia H20 pours down. Saves your topcoat and cleaning bills, too! Striped and Glen-Urquhart plaid shetlands pre- dominate in the better campus wardrobes. With one of these cut in a two-button straight hanging job, with semi-notched lapels and outside ticket pocket, worn with a pair of flannels and you're ready to send Steuber bounding for the goal posts. Ran into Jane Haggerty, Kappa, and Phil McGrath, Kappa Sig Simpson rooter, at the Shack after the Iowa State massacre. He preferred a black basket-weave for the occasion, causing a total black-out in the booth with the help of the elaborate lighting system. Grey flannel and blue sharkskin are hotter than Dixie's beer for week- end parties also. They're best tailored Windsor style with the lapel rolling to the last button with a ticket pocket. Should be straight-hanging, though or they get tight over the hips. What about a top-coat? Well, the lads who diligently read their Esquires go for double-breasted camel's hair numbers, but a cravenetted whip-cord is smart and practical as it wears better. Since W. P. B. raised a disapproving finger, we find Joe U. minus several inches of cloth in general. However, our cuffless campus Romeo can still obtain a "solid set of threads" (to use the vernacular of our Harlem brethren), as a fairly long coat is still allowed plus the flaps on ticket and breast pockets. The 26" knee went out with S. G. A., though, but a good taper is permissible. Tails and double-breasted are taboo, but a single- breasted make up with a shawl collar and square corners is a good substitute. As a parting tip . . .
