By BOB DOOLITTLE (Wisconsin State College)
There is a certain little man who is rapidly becoming a part of
the American campus scene. Buck-toothed rumple-haired down-
trodden he is flunking Biology continually late for classes and
appears to be headed for graduation by the process of Osmosis.
His name is "Worthal" his creator is cartoonist Dick Bibler. They
both have a funny sense of humor.
Nine years ago Bibler answer-1 Bibler's pen. From his drawing
cd an ad for a college cartoonist' board he uses a two-edged blade
as n student at Kansas University. I cutting at both college students
He had worked for some service
newspapers and YANK during
the war. He got the job and
"Little Man on Campus" became
his by-line "Worthal" his main
character.
Bibler had come by his flair
for wicked humor quite naturally.
He had his first cartoon publish-
ed at the age of 12. A sandy-
haired chap (hair thinning on the
apex) with tired eyes Bibler is
lightning fast with an artist's
brush. His brainchild is not quite
so fast but looks just as tired.
No one could look more desper-
ate than this little man Worthal
as he flips his coin during the
true and false examination or
gets ground into the sidewalk
during the 12:00 o'clock rush by
the campus wheels. But he con-
tinually bobs up again each time
with a wicked gleam in his eyes
to ogle the girls poke fun at
ancient Latin Professors college
administrators and college ath-
letes or smooch with his girl in
the library archives between
Robinson Crusoe and Patterns of
Culture.
No one on campus is immune to

and faculty with Worthal and
his sadistic nemesis Professor
Snarf. There is something heroic
about their undaunted struggle
something touching about Snarf s
willingness to suffer in order to
make others suffer.
In creating "Worthal" Bibler
drew fourteen faces. He selected
the most stupid looking charac-
teristic of each and combined
them. The name "Worthal" he
comments is very close to
"Worthless." However new char-
acters have made their way into
the cartoon panel. Several new
characters include: Miss Lush
Burwell Penrod Bolivar Dean
Bellows and a yet-to-be-named
beauty that Worthal has his co-
ed conscious eye on.
Bibler plans his work a year in
advance making it possible to
have his joketoons correspond to
the school season. The panels are
sent to college newspapers (over
200) in two bundles. The first
bundle goes to all the papers sub-
scribing to a weekly cartoon. The
second bundle will go to papers
subscribing to more than one car-
toon per week.
Although Bibler's hobby is car
tooning it is far from becoming
a livelihood. The price that col
leges can afford to pay for car
toons and the limited number
used by some colleges can only
keep Bibler in cigarettes and the
baby in new shoes. But he says
as long as he can think of ideas
and as long as colleges want to
run the carton he'll keep draw-
ing Worthal Snarf and Company.
Bibler's present job has his as-
sistant professing in the art de-
partment at Humboldt State Col-
lege Areata California. Of vital

'Animal Party'
An occassional shriek accom-
panied by laughter and the sound
of about fifty excited girls all try-
ing to talk at the same time were
heard on the second floor of the
Girls' Dorm Friday night Sept-
ember 16 at about 11:15 p.m. as
an 'Animal Party" got underway
in Rooms 321-32.
Admission to the party which
was given by Anna Lynne White-
hurst Donna Dawson Mary
Frances Vogel and Ginia Step-
hens was one animal stuffed or
alive. Guests were asked to sign
the Guest Register with their
name and the name of their an-
imal. i i .
Balloons and fur hung from the
light globes goldfish .swam
gaily around in the lavatories
and signs on the Doors proclaim
ed a "Welcome" to the guests who
arrived dressed in the latest
styles of pajamas and robes.
All kinds of soda water an-
imal crackers and animal candy
were served.
The "Animal Party" came to an
abrupt close however when the
Freshman boys arrived to sere-
nade the girls and everyone
rushed up to the fourth floor
balcony.
statistics Bibler is unusually
vague for a newspaper man. He
admits to a "Beautiful blonde
wife" two daughters and a son.

THE SPIRIT OF H. P. C.
By Barbara Keown
Nearly three weeks have elap-
sed .since I received my first sight
of Brownwod Texas and How-
ard Payne College. Having never
seen the .state oi T e x a s
prior to my journey to Howard
Payne 1 can honestly say that
a new and completely different
enviionment awaited me.
I am a native Coloradian and
a tiansfer student ftom a state
supported college within that
state. I have reason to believe
that natives of Colorado have a
very gieat misconception regard-
ing Texas and the people that
dwell here. They completely dis-
couraged my tentative plans for
coming here to school. They tried
to piesent eveiy bad aspect con-
ceivable and leave mo with the
impression that Texas would be
an arid sun-baked prairie
practically void of vegetation.
i and inhabited by a peculiar type
of yokels who always spoke in a
lay Southern drawl and said
"you all" instead of "you guys"
as we Colorachans say. They
asked me why I should prefer to
leave a cool mountainous "vaca-
tioner's paradise" to come to a
bake-oven like Texas.
However. the reputation of
Howaid Payne College is far ren-
owned. It's po.tive assets are not
without recognition way out
