BUWKY BITS By "The W alr us"

Greetings! January always brings with it

a riot of coldness, snow, and that "let down" feeling. A lot has happened since I last sat down and tried to tell you a few things so I will think up the things and put them down before you in no certain order. BIG BLOW -OUT!

That is about the best words I can think to describe the B. U. X'mas party. Gosh, it seems like ancient history to be writing about it now. But the memory lingers on! Ah! Yes! About 1,000 students of B. U. and those from Western who were lucky enough to get in really enjoyed them­selves. And girls-

Let's take 30 seconds off and think about those glamorous phantoms of delight that we saw at that party. A-h-h-h! .

There were 62 gir Is from 94 states that took part-at least that's what the authorities said.

The winner was Betsy Buckner, a real beauty and a real swell person, and that is what really counts. She hails from the me­tropolis of the south, Paris, Ky.

Close behind here were Gladys Potts and Peggy Goodwin. And then there were Billie Bowman, Ann Childs, Nancy Ballantine, and -Ah Shucks! I could go on all day naming those raving beau­ties.

And now that the war is here it looks like we are going to have to say good-bye to a lot of our boys. Gosh! I certainly hate to see them go because I'm next.

In my last column I mentioned Julian Goodman's ability as a writer. I said that he would go places. Wonder what he's wait­ing for?

Back from the Christmas holi­days came Sue Tapp with the news that she is married. Con­gratulations!

And down at the B. U. comes the news that Will Johns has ven­tured out onto the sea of matri­mony. Best of luck! Louise Shel­by says that she is practically e:tgaged. Such news, such news --The holidays are full of such

tidings.

I really don't see why · I write this column so devotedly and reg­ularly. I could write anything in this r:pace and I doubt that you v.ould know the difference. (This applies only to the few of you who can read. In fact I think I shall. Sing a song of six pence pockel full of rye. Halleluia! I'm a bum, etc. And so I write on into the night and further down the page.

So the draft, like Christmas, death, taxes, and the poor, is with us. So what? So this: I admit it would be probably giggling in thE: gloom but why not enjoy life while we can? (That's a ghastly statement. ) And why not laugh? I for one shall go around ignoring the draft until they creep up be­hind me and snatch me. Laugh and the world laughs with you

. . and that goes for the draft.

And Eddie Buchser comes back from Tell City full of tall tales about the basketball teams of the southern part of Indiana.

couple of weeks ago, things start­ed happening down at the Inn. Well! I wasn't there but what I heard is plenty good.

Going back to ancient history, that is-before the holidays, some­one told me that on one of those good-bye trains that were so much fun, Bill Culbertson really let himself go and kissed everybody. including the porter.

I hear that Beatrice Wallace and Teddy Cockshot have been married. If I hear about many more marriages this column is go­inl5 to sound like a society column.

Again the Western music de­p::trtment has come through with a splendid and beautiful program. The band concert the other Sun­day will long be remembered by many of us.

About the most pleasant thing jn the world is a pleasant sur­prise. And that is just what the Western basketball team has turned out to be. Most of us were led to believe that Western was going to have a very poor bas­ketball squad this year. The team's winnings have proved to be one of the most enjoyable things of the year. Congratula­tions to Coach Ed Diddle and his boys. Of course the .main part of the schedule is yet to be played, but I believe that the team will continue to make us proud of it.

Over a month has passed since the military ball. This column has made no comment on the occasion thus far, however, and it's about time that we did. The O. C. really gave us a swell dance_ And of course this little bit would be incomplete without the men­tion of the new military queen_ To Mary Ella Riddle, the loveliest e,f the lovely, goes this title for 1942.

This issue of BUWKY has been called the WAR ISSUE. Of course it is all in fun. In the more serious line of thinking, this war is no joke. It is a stark, horrible reality. It is going to take your efforts and mine to bring this war to a successful termination. We

Page Two

must keep our wits about us and we must retain our faith both in God and in our country. It is im­portant too that we maintain our sense of humor. This is the reason for this special WAR ISSUE. I, for one, sincerely hope that we, the American people will keep our de­sirable characteristics and will throw off our undesirable char­acteristics in the dark hours that lie ahead. I hope that we will come out of this war a cleaner, better people, and a victorious people.

This is about all I have to tell you this time, so I will close by reminding you to save your pen­nies to buy defense stamps and Remember P earl Harbor.

-'Bye.

"No, he's the jealous, suspicious type."

WESTERN INVADED Editor's Note: This is not the

truth. But in such times as these, there is no telling what will hap­pen. So if, at some time in the fu­ture you turn on your radio and get these reports-don's be sur­prised.

9:00 A. M. Advanced scouts of the invading troops seen coming in via Louisville road. Stop at Green Gables. Invaders send scouts to look for advanced scouts.

9:30 A. M. Seen at the head of a long column of troops is a man that looks like Chaplin. One of the ~'in-the-know" persons dis­covers it is Adolph Hitler:

9:35 A. M. Invasion is a cer­tainty. Goal Post claimed to be the best place of refuge. O! Goody! We don't have to get up and move.

9:50 A. M. A large dirigible moored at the Western water tow­er and another large dirigible gets out of it. At first he is taken for a chapel speaker, later it is dis­covered that it is B. Mussolini. It is rumored that he is a fifth col­umnist.

10:30 A. M. Invading forces reach the campus.

10:35 A. M. Bookstore goes into immediate action-posts the fol­lowing bulletin:

WELCOME INVADERS New and used books for sale! You can't go to colloge without

the proper books! No stoop! No squat! No squint! (Now where did that come from?)

11:00 Dean Grise issues the fol­lowing statement:

"N ow is the time for a firm stand! No classes will be dis­missed because of the invasion. So there!"

11:10 Thirty invaders have marched into an English Litera­ture class.

12:00 Thirty invaders given up as lost.

12:30 R. O. T. C. units called into action. Dismissed immediate­ly upon the discovery that one freshman is wearing black shoes.

12:35 One hundred invaders try to get dinner at the University Inn. Within thirty minutes all have been suffocated. The Black Hole of Calcutta has been avenged!

1:00 Congress Debating Club invites Hitler and Goebbels to de­bate on "Resolve that Western should have a department of Philosophy. "

2:00 Thirteen Club has special meeting and decides to pledge three of the invaders.

2:30 Mr. Canon announces that 500 invaders have registered in order to obtain the elementary teacher's certificate.

3:00 The Talisman staff an­nounces that all invaders have their picture made before Tues­day.

3:05 Miss Susie issues the fol­lowing statement:

"Girls will not be allowed to have dates with invaders without writ ten permission from parents. Remember, girls, not only your reputation but the reputation of Western, is at stake."

4:30 Great counter-offensive is launched-Eddie Buchser goes into action.

4:50 A scouting party enters the Rock . House. Hitler announces these ·men as hopelessly lost.

5:00 Hitler enters library and examines it. He says, "The best concentration camp I've ever seen -concentration-Get it?

" .

6:00-Three hundred invaders die after eating at the dorm. Hit­ler blames it on the food, but the school authorities say it is the same that the students have been eating all year.

7:00 As a last resort, Miss Susie declares an out night. Girls speed from dorms with loud cries of "Men! Men! Millions of men!"

10:00 Invaders in full retreat! When questioned, Der Fuehrer says, "I'm going back to Germany --I never have seen such a place -Give it back to the Indians!"

"Do you drink beer?" "No, I chew it."

Attractive but easy to manage hairstyles were created for people like you . . . who have to push curls in place and be ready to go in five minutes flat. Ask for our Simplicity Wave. It involves all the waves and curls you want but leaves out the fussiness .

The mother of a Kentucky mountaineer family was packing her scant belongings in prepara­tion to leaving the old homestead. A son lumbered into the room.

"Where ya goin', maw?" he ask­ed.

"Your paw traded me to our neighbor for a horse."

"Wal, I allus said paw was a good business man."

First Deaf Man (to Judge): "Your honor, this man owes me a grocery bill amounting to $11.50 and he refuses to pay it.

Second Deaf Man: "That's a lie, Judge, my dog didn't bite him."

Deaf Judge: "Well, there is hon­or on both sides, but one of you two gentlemen really should sup­port your mother."

Traveler: "What's the use of having a time-table if your trains don't run according to it?"

Porter: "Now you're all excited. How could you tell they was run­nin' late if you didn't have a time­table?"

Young Co-ed: "Oh, dad, I've just discovered that the girl who sits next to me in Bio. has a hat ex­actly like mine."

Father: "So I suppose you want me to buy you a new one?"

Coed: "Well, darling, that would be cheaper than changing schools."

Mike O'Shaw was among the group of freshmen taking Astron­omy. The first meeting of the class was held in the orbservation tow­er late one evening. When the class had been accounted for, the professor went to a telescope and began to make an observation. Just then a star fell. Mike gasped. "Begorra, that was a fine shot, sir," he said, with great admira­tion. "Why, ye hardly had time to take aim at it."

He was just about to enter the house of the deceased when he noticed a little colored boy posted right at the edge of the door. "Why don't you go inside?" the white man asked.

"Ah can't go inside," came the reply. "Ah is the crepe."

Freshman (eagerly): "Can you mggest something in the way of a good time?"

Junior (disconsolately): "The Dean."

bit of musical genius, HELEN O'CONNELL is back with Jimmy Dorsey. Helen starts her second semester with Dorsey singing "I GOT IT BAD (and that ain't good)", but with Helen controlling the vocal, it IS good. Reverse recording is "THIS IS NO LAUGHING MATTER," vocal honors going to Sir Bob Eberly. (Decca 4103).

Alvino Rey plays, Yvonne King sings that saucy bit from Para­mount's "Sweater Girl," "I SAID NO." The dainty and suggestive manner she vocalizes it in is sim­pJy wonderful. Bill Schallen and Skeds Hefurt take over the "B" side for a rollicking interpreta­tion of "DEEP .IN THE HEART OF TEXAS." (Bluebird 11391).

Woodie Herman suggests, "TIS AUTUMN," and vocalizes the same in that "Herman la delight­ful manner." Co-starred are Car­olyn Grey and ensemble. The revolving render from the reverse is "I GUESS I'LL BE ON MY WAY," and Woodie gets under way, clarinet and all. (Decca 4095) .

A Scotchman was returning home late one night when he was accosted by a couple of gangsters who demanded his money. In­stead of complying, Sandy struck out wildly and there and then en­sued a terrific battle. The Scot was overwhelmed, however, by superior weight and numbers, but not before he had left his mark on his assailants. Panting, they sat down beside him and rested. Then they proceeded to search the re­cumbent form. After an exhaus­tive search one unearthed a nickel. "Migawd, we're lucky," he breathed. "Lucky! Wot da yuh mean?" hissed the other. The first one glared at him, "Cripes, you're lucky you are alive. Sup­pose he'd had a dime!"

A story was told about an old Negro, one Bro. Jones, who was so old and bent that when he died the undertaker could not get him to lie flat in his coffin. When the old Negro's back was flat down his knees would bob up, and when his knees were pushed down he would appear to sit up. After studying the matter for a while, the enterprising young mortician conceived the idea of using black cloth strips tacked over his knees and neck to hold him down. Came the following day and all went through .the beginning of church services when suddenly the mag­nitude of the parson's voice loos­ened the tacks in the neck-holder­downer-and the inevitable fol­lowed its course. Exactly what happened the next few minutes will probably never be known, but

When you meet a friend, you probably say, "How are you?" (Your friend doesn't always take lhat seriously and tells you how he is-we hope.) It's a simple salutation, a rhetorical question as to the state of one's health. In China they say, "Have you eaten your rice?" That's because rice is more important than anything (' lse in China. In some tropical countries a dry skin is an indica­tion of fever, so one native meet­ing another will ask, "How are you sweating today?"

Mother: "Oh, why didn't you call me when those bad boys started to throw stones?"

Son: "Hell, rna! What would a' been the use? You can't hit the side of a barn."
