Augies History

I have noticed a few social conditions I feel could stand attention. All of these have to do with co-eds here at Augustana.

An example of what I speak of occurred the other day when I saw a young lady wearing a blue dress and patent leather shoes.

Can you imagine that. Patent leather shoes are more dangerous than puddles. Girls please be more careful.

Example number two is the increasing number of girls that are wearing slacks to class. When it is far below zero I can sympathize, but just last week when it was above freezing, I saw two girls actually wearing jeans to class. We all know who should wear the pants here.

This example I cannot document, but I heard that a few co-eds have been seen at a local establishment that sells a beverage containing alcohol. And the worst is that they were unescorted.

One time while I was conversing in the Huddle, I overheard a rather brazen young lady bragging that she actually smoked cigarettes in her room. This should not be permitted.

Before you know it, the women will be using language that, as the description goes, would make a sailor blush.

If any of you girls disclaim all of the above, bring down your pipe and I'll gladly share a fill of tobacco with you. (Unless, of course, you are afraid of what people might think.) A reminder to all who do smoke pipes, more often than not, I have more than one kind of tobacco sitting around. You are welcome to drop by and try a fill.
