i NEEDLEWORK h™ t. c™,*
by Thalia A Date Book        |
When she was young and lovely and a freshman, someone denied
a fender on--her car In ihe parking lot, and us u result she discovered
how "Bureaucrotic techniques lead to social security for the Securlty
Patrol.
The brave lads were lurking In their office in the Corporation Yard
that afternoon, waiting to right wrongs, douse fires, or at least return
lost books, when she entered lo report her misfortune.
Instantly, a oattery of alert young men whipped out pencils, car¬
bons, and  very legal-looking forms and began to question her.
Tho fellows were kind and patient, and together they got through
name, address, make of car. telephone number, major . . . Wait a
minute!    Telephone  number?   MAJOR*-
"Now, miss." one of the efficient gentlemen Knapped, "you ilo want
these forms filled out correctly, don't you?"
Obviously she couldn't argue with a man carrying out his official
duties so conscientiously, so uhe meekly answered more of their ques¬
tions, although It neemed they were straying farther and farther
from the subject of her automobile accident,
'   Finally, one of  them  looked up, pencil  poised, and inquired  seri¬
ously,  "Do you  have any qualms about  dating firemen?"
"HA!" she thought. A wise guy trying to lake advantage of his
position.
But his wan no spur-or-the-moment ad lib. The mimeographed
form he was so carefully completing had blanks for all such vital
Informal Ion. even spaces for a personal description and an evaluation
lo be filled in afier dating the subject.
Such data was collected on every girl who wandered Into the
office and  filed  for future reference.
"Don't knock It." a riremnn warned. "We've had several engagc-
menls come Trom dating girls in  the file."
This story is true, but the firemen may have abandoned this enter¬
prising practice this year. I didn't have the heart to go out to the
Security Patrol office to find out. I'd rather think that despite the
often-touted social, as well as cultural and academic, apathy that is
rife on this campus, there Is still a group of ingenious. I hough sneaky,
young men around who are maintaining their right to be the pusuers
rather than 'the pursued.
