There Ought to be a Law
Prince George's County:
That's a long-winded way of saying that the correct college man and woman, who consider a sheepskin something more than an engraved symbol of wool pulled over faculty eyes, think there "ought to be a law."
Against the girl who bestows her key, compact, lipstick, gloves, handkerchief, comb, and program on the date -- to stuff in his pockets.
Against the "debutante slouch," the "round-shouldered scuffle," and all other portrayals of the pictures on the bad posture charts.
Against the girl who collects fraternity pins for the amusement of her sorores.
Against the eternal "thumb-riders" peopling the highways.
Against "love" in a rumble seat.
Against the "lone wolves" who attend program dances and manage to get in.
Against the girl who shows how false her beauty is by making up her face in public.
Against girls who use so much perfume that they infect the air for several yards around them.
Against the person, male or female, who think nine o'clock means 9:45.
Against the girl who breaks a date when something better turns up.
Against the girl or boy who has a stationary "line," particularly an obvious one -- and tries it on all your sorority sisters and fraternity brothers.
Against the "chiller" of anything.
Against the blind date who tries to "park" on the way home.
Against the boys who have never heard of giving flowers.
Against men that borrow cars and leave the gas-tanks empty.
Against the professor who arrives at 29 minutes after the hour and then talks long after the bell has rung.
Against "so what" as a retort propre.
Against the "puller-downers" of dance hall decorations.
Against the big fret man who calls at a sorority house and asks, "Who in the house hasn't got a date tonight?"
Against the fancy-free lads who date another fellow's girl just to see how far they can cut in.
Against the girl who fixes up a "double date" without telling her boyfriend first.
Against those who have to be ahead of everybody-at the front of the line regardless of others.
Against the people who are Against Everything.
