said, ARE older men, and there hasn't
been any college yelling for US to for
bid"
The students found Sunday well

strenuous week, they were mighty
glad to be allowed to loaf today, in

ed resemblance to q deserted village
this morning. There wasn't a thing
doing-except for the unfortunate
fifteen who had to do guard duty.
The city was fairly overlooking
with the embryo officers last night
They made q wild rush, as soon as
they came in in the afternoon, for the
restaurants, to get away from the
routine Of the camp menu, and after
that they managed to distribute them
selves pretty much everywhere over
the city.
