With the thermometer still registering
GUNNER heat and the promise of more
unpleasant weather to follow. it has been
difficult, perhaps, for the little butter
nics of the social world to make their
plans for the final years of serious en-
deavor designed to fit them for the gay
existence to follow a college career. How
ever, many have already perfected plans
for entering the first year of college life,
