Show OUR IDEA OF AN INTERSORORITY ADJUSTMENT COMMITTEE THE ORIGIN OP DEMOCRACY One day a bright-minded student said to another of equal flash: "Opaque old fellow (Opaque, nom de plume to conceal identity.) Opaque old fellow, this campus is undemocratic. We have snobs. An election is coming. We must do away with fraternities. Why, I don't even know anything about them, but look at the harm they must be doing." "You are right. Intuition, old man, let's get our heads together." And so they plotted and plotted and so they related their woes to the student board and the board heard their woes and they asked the board what to do and the board told them and they said to the board: you're wrong, and then they met and met. And then they said: board, you're right and they did WHAT? Opaque said to Intuition, we have been hasty; let's pull out of this mess and so they did. And so the election came closer. Then one day Silver-tongue said: The fraternities are machines- machines are wrong; let's build a machine ourselves. I'll be president. They said, sure, Silver-tongue, tell the world how rotten fraternities are. Said he, I will. Which he did and the Greeks laughed softly to themselves and Silver-tongue went ahead and undid himself and the election came off and where were the fraternity machines. And so this is your message, Silver-tongue. Tactics like your own are for your own, which are few. WHO KNOWS The morning after "U" day there was many a dog that would not recognize his master's voice. A good many of our fellow students that have participated in these "war weddings" have found them to be only a skirmish. Judge: Why, Mr. Michelson, aren't you ashamed of yourself to be seen here so often? Mike: No, sir, Judge; this place is quite respectable to some places I've seen. Chipman-But I am different from other men. The more I kiss you the more I want to. Peaches (Dunyon)-No you are not; they all say that. Page 204 |
