spring and summer to rid the campus
Of Iowa Wesleyan College of the dan
delion pest will have been fruitless. At
present tho lawns are completely COW
cred with a carpet Of the little yelliw
flowers. When cold weather set in a

temperature would undoubtedly kill
many Of them. Classes will be dis
missed for a quarter Of q day and the
students given instruction to toll with
dandehon roots instead Of the classical
Greek and Latin ones. The Inaugural
ton Of a "dandelion day. In the mid
die Of December Is a phenomenon I'M
~paralleled In this section Of Iowa,
