Jumps Through skylight
The clatter of broken glass falling
| in the lobby of the Hollenbeck yester-
day and a pair of legs dangling in mid
air surprised the ears and eyes of the
guests who CHANGED to be loungng
there at that hour.
When a ladder was brought and the
legs placed firmly on one rung and in
vited to descend they proved to be the
property of a new house man.
He arrived at the Hollenbeck yes
terday morning and was told to clean
the skylight. Not being familiar with
the fact that skylights are usually
made of glass the man jumped from
window which opens into the light well
and went smashing through the glass.
He hung to the frame of the Skylight
until some of the employees Of the MOTEL
came to his assistance with a ladder.
The skylight is just over the entrance
to the elevator and the newsstand in
place which is usually filled with
guests, but luckily at that time there
was no one standing there and the
only damage was 81 few scratches to the
house man.

The colleges of the middle west will
be honored today at the luncheon to
be given by the College Women's club
