THE McMURRY WAR WHOOP

"I Heard That You..."
1 "I miw your nnme in the-paper" is one
WlWment that n likely to jrct .Attention from
jaat about any one If he hasn't .alnowly
Been it he dnflhes off to find' out just what
was Raid and if his name was spilled rifjht
If ho was expecting it to lc there he prob-
ably turned to that story first Somehow
wc just like to read about oursclws t
And next to oursehos wc like to read.

thr pooph W( know. "Ixiok hue! I rank
and raniut finally cot nianied . . And
John and Miuv hao a new duiRhtei llnim
My high vhnol protect mule the honoi

Sevtial people on out list of txes who
arc War Whoop Hiihsciibci's this yean have
told im that they have enjoyed reading such
stuff and we btlicvc they meant it They
not onlv wrote us some letters about them-
wives but included thinirs about others that
you might be intcicstcd in.
In other woids we think the idea (it was
Alsie's bv the way) of having an ex column
in the Wai Whoop has proved itself good.
It is our lxst and most economical .(we still
have to consider that') way of keeping in
touch with college and with one another. We
think that a much linger number will be on
our mailing list next fall Send us your
name and we'll put t in the paper and do
out best to spell it right!
This umi foi almost the first time it
seems the ivstudent association has really
caught a visum of what it might do and has
begun to move as a gioup Small numbers
of exes the depicssion (whatever this might
be) and vauoiii othci icasons foi our lack
of accomplishment eailier might be assigned
but the linpoitant fact is th it we have some
Uung definite to do and have taken some def-
inite stips tow.nd doing it

I kneel at my typewriter humbly
and abjectly to apologize to MIS-
ThR Stovall for the foul remarks
about his scintillating column last
week I didn't Intend them for
publication and I was Hbo most
khftcktd young'dn onthu taesurva-
tion when that crack hit me in
the face
W illic done it hough it's nil her
fault lust wnitll I get that little
Iui77urd out on the hike I II
drown her that's -what I'll do;
I'll diown her dead
This spring my mother brought
me some material for a dress for
hcrsclft and she sat up till mid-
night Saturday night making it
into a dress for me to wear on
Mother's Day and I wore It swish-
ing around feeling as If I had
butterflies in my windpipe.
I once made the remark that a
fresh-sharpened pencil is tops for
literary inspiration. I take it
back. Jimmy Bickley is tops for
literary inspiration and lots of
otre? thing too. Crocks just
roll off that boy He ought to be
made a permanent fixture In the
War Whop office and given n
salary
Truck up to the office some
time when yon wanta laugh and
read Dub's duties for next year
posted ln a conspicuous place.
WilHo an't takln' any chance
It won't help us much to beat
our swords into ploughshares un-
less we can beat our loafeis into
plowhands
There is a plan afoot to give
everybody work to fit his brains
Think how many people would be
thrown out of work permanently
The cause of n lot of fires is
