In a 1942-1943 Washburn University newspaper column entitled “I Only Heard” by Icha Bunk, the following article appeared, featuring “Casanova Cogswell.”
“If mudslinging is what the readers want, that’s what they’re going to get. So just remember, all you guys and gals, if you don’t like the way your name is slung around in this column, you’re the ones who asked for it!
"Another year has rolled around, and again it is time for Casanova Cogswell, now a senior, to pick himself out a nice new freshman glamour girl to rush. All eyes of the campus are turned upon him to see who will be his next victim. It is rumored that the odds are two to one for a certain little Lois Lacey.”
Even if it was rumored he had his eye on Lois Lacey during his senior year, Glenn was apparently still good friends with Royce Palmer, who, along with him, was elected "Most Decorative" in their junior year. It was Royce who wrote to him when he was away at officers' training in Chicago which caused Glenn to miss attending Washburn's 1943 graduation ceremony.
