the college, while Huling's Hall, lis
adjunct, contains fifty lady students:

male, the girls are having picnic.
With her ratio of eight masculine
eyes looking into her orbs each girl
feels exalted, and at the holiday va
cation an unusual number of both
sexes found it inconvenient to visit
their homes. A desire for unusual
diligence IN study was assigned as
the reason and the professors were
elaied Mt this display of desire to
acquire knowledge. One of the girls,
when questioned as to what particu-
lar branch had cansed this decision
on her part demurely replied that it
was "art,n and an investigation show
ed that the art work was shared in
by the young gentlemen who could
be found, each engaged with a miss,
"making pictures in each other.

This love-making has gone on all

the annoyance of the professors until
it was decided to stop it, decision
which appears as yet TO carry no
force with it,
The time chosen for the issuance

As they did this there was = mo

broke into series of wild ,yells of
glee, while the professors struck an
attitude of holy horror.
