AS a substitute for the naughty
Washburn can rush which was due
last night but was called or In ac-
cordance with the conscientious scruples
-
of the faculty. North SIDE man sug
gests the follows substitute: Let the
Freshman and Sophomore class be lined
I'D on the campus at p. m. Let each
student suck striped candy canes two
feet long. The class which consumes
the canes first in this way should be
counted the winner. l believe that this
form of a cane rush would be much
more genteeL much more artistic and
would meet with the hearty endorse
ment of the faculty.
IT would recommend that this be
carried out on the spring day when a
holiday is to be given the classes for
their good behavior last night"
