Show Quick Exodus Writer Takes A Lesson By KAY ISRAEL '"i Working on the Chronicle has its many advantages. Little things ike critical letters-to-the-editors and hot arguments from anyone, having read your column and disagreeing with it, who happens to see you 'walking Z k. down the halls. These on the whole are probable risks let, :&&k 0f the game and accePted by those of us on the staff. t Th6re are added advantages to working on the . jUa j?5 Ym Chronicle and that comes in the special favors depart- 'r!? -fw 'A ment J I .; 1 think you probably know what I mean. Either they V t ' think they are doing you a favor or you are asked to do S -y-.-- them one. It's usually the latter. y It doesn't seem like too long ago an individual who ft, " sha11 be designated by the name of Hubert came up to ?, ' . , me and gave demonstration to what I'm writing about. . ; Hubert: "Hi. Is there anyone here from the Chron- ' icle staff?" !!' Me: "I am, can I help you?" Hubert: "You bet. We're having a frat party this week end, and we want to get some publicity." : Me: "Well, in that case why don't you talk to Patty Jackson in the i next room. She is the society editor." : Hubert: "I don't really think it has much to do with society. It's not v that kid of a frat." ' Me: "Well, aren't you part of the Chronicle's Greek conspiracy? You are on campus, aren't you?" f; Hubert: "I don't really think you could call us Greek or a campus organization. We're members of Sigma Sigma Pi." Me: "Sigma Sigma Pi? What's that, an engineering honorary or ; what?" s Hubert: "No, it's a student organization with political leanings. Anyhow, we are going to have a dance next Friday night, and we want some coverage." Me: "If your an off-campus organization, you'll have to use the want ads or an advertisement. "Calling U" is only open to student organizations organiza-tions on campus." Hubert: "I don't think you understand. Sigma Sigma Pi is a group of students with political interest. The name stands for Students for Stassen for President." Me: " Kay Israel. I'm the assistant editor of the Chrony on all days that have an "S" in them. . On the days without an "S" in them I wash out the desks. Why?". Hubert: "You can't be, I saw a picture of her in the April Fool's Issue, and there isn't the slightest resemblance. Anyhow, I heard Kay Israel was the name of Steve Gunn's fiance'." Me: "Here, look at my activity card, driver's license and press identification. iden-tification. Now will you believe me?" Hubert: "You're Kay Israel? Well, okeh. Hey, I've got this great idea for an editorial or a column." Me: "Oh really, what?" Hubert: "Well, why don't you write a column on this Stassen group. It ought to be a real funny column. You see, we're going to have a dance band and a direct hook-up with Stassen Headquarters in New Mexico. I bet you could write a real humorous column on that." Me: "You're probably right, providing I stick to just the facts." Folks, if you want to get on the Chrony staff so that you can be informed in-formed about what's going on, forget it. It's we martyrs at the Chrony who are preventing you from knowing all that is going on. Stick to the "Calling U" column. It's more factual and probably funnier. |
