THE EDITOR HIT AGAIN St. Patrick's Day In the Morning Dear Tid Tommy was a P) I G to make you share your date, Whv4en lie had one all by himself. Onl the other hand, I don't know what to think of you-breaki,ng my (late. even for your editor-in-chief. I wasn't going to make any more re marks, but since ye editor insists-well, the Office Dog isn't very much of . reader, but week before last lie had a woliderful time chewing the ankles of the "budding scrubs" in the editor's oVui colyum, atid last week he helped CHASE THE NEW REGISTRAR on the front page. Beware his vicious tooth! Marshall Tatun's LA'TES'1' CREATIONS IN FAIJ, SUITS is still running. A CAT. Editor's Note: Tid has uot worked til) any scheme yet whereby we are go ilig to get somothing more in the way of eats. Getting pretty hungry thcse days. Many thanks to the "Cat" for noting the errors in the heads, etc. There is plenty of room for improvement, but whein eight o'clock Thursday evening rolls around and there isn't enough ma terial on hand it is a wonder that half of the articles Inve heads at all, much less poorly written ones. If there is some energetic student on the campus who has nothing more to (ho 0t,han Stan(d around the \Vigwam, would care to spold those idle moments at a good job, please drop by the press andli help with heads onl 'hliirsdays. Many thanks for all help in the past. - U.s.c.

On a mat tress, on the floor, und(er quilts, close together, lay the occupants of the room, a senior and a j unior.Th fact is they were seared. So was the visiting senior-perhaps a trifle more scaredl.
