Show Page 8 THE SIGNPOST October 11, 1968 Don't Josh My Hound! By Marion Johnson Josh, that clown of a German Shepherd, seems like an unlikely name for a female anything, let alone a German Shepherd. But Josh is her name and answer to it she does. Upon my decision to get a dog, my thoughts turned to a small fluffy dog that did nothing but eat and sleep all day. We strolled into a pet shop that had been about third on the list. This shop had cages filled with every kind of dog you could imagine. There was a dog with great big eyes that followed you with those big eyes everywhere you went. He even went so far as to look longingly at you. It was a small teeny-tiny dog with a brown spot on its side and a swishy-swooshy tail. This dog was just the type to put a bow around its neck and carry it everywhere you went. It Was For ME! But, the doner was not even .Jooking at the small dog with the swishy-swooshy tail ... he had his eyes glued to a big, gunkey German Shepherd. This dog had the most dumb, most pitiful look on his face, that you would think that he couldn't even find his own water dish. My friend was sold and since it was his money that was do ing the buying, his mind was made up, and therefore, so was mine. The dog was purchased and only on the way out did we think to ask if it was a male or a female. "Oh, she's a female," was the reply. Gasp? This had not been considered. Oh well, she's ours. So we decided to take her up to a friend's house and show her off. The first reaction of my well-meaning friend was : Oh, you're Joshing me!! Thus the name. Josh was named and taken home to keep all, within earshot, awake all night. ' yii i ft J FOUR FRESHMEN Probe Slates Contest Due to a printer's hang-up, Probe, the campus magazine, was not available at Fall registration. This resulted in stacks and stacks of extra copies. These extras will be sold through a contest between Fraternities and Sororities. The first prize for selling the most copies will be $50 and fivo cents apiece for all copies sold (minimum 200). The contest will begin Monday, October 14, and continue for the remainder of the month. All clubs who are interested in making $$ should contact Mr. Gorden Allred in FA 412.

For more details: yell, run, send a smoke signal or telegram. Better yet, just phone ext. 494 at the station's studio in FAC 455. As if around 2,000 frosh on campus isn't enough, four more will be added soon. The only difference is the four just aren't freshmen, but then again they are. They are The Four Freshmen, the Hoosier singing quartet who will make their Weber debut in the Fine Arts Auditorium Oct. 24, at 8:00 p.m. A wild assist to the Four Frosh will come from Fred Smoot, side-splitting comedian. That's the good news . . . the tough news is $2.50 for Special Seats, and $2.00 for Just Or-' dimary Seats. The Just Ordinary Seats will be 20 per cent more popular than the Special Seats. The thinning of the change purse (buying tickets) may be done at the main desk of the Student Union Building at noon (excluding weekends). Those who eat on schedule may buy the tickets at the student body offices. Because of some displacement during the construction, and Triple-A's failure to print a roadmap, the following directions are carefully detailed to the student body offices: go to the north end of the UB cafeteria and up the east stairs. When the stairs stop, you stop. You have arrived. For Freshmen who don't know where the main desk is, please ask. And try to use Freshman English. Programs will be available to those in attendance, with a special form to request favorite repretoires. The Four Freshmen are worth a trip to the blood bank. Gosh, Fellas? A newsy item from Tau Theta girls slipped into the limelight last Tuesday. They warned Phoenix to start practicing for a football game between the guys of Phoenix and the chicks of Tau Theta so that "Phoenix could capture the Tro phy." Puzzled? It looks like the Tau Theta team has consistently whipped the guys of Phoenix at football. Come on, Phoenix! You really got wiped out by the amazons of Tau Theta? It says right in the newsy Tau Theta note the gals are "determined to keep thetrophy." 352 24th Stri Mi |
