FEATURE 5 REVIVED LAWS I WORK HARDSHIP ON STUDENTS Governor Is Asked to Issue Per mits to Church-goers and Clothes Menders tI QUESTION OF BATHING i< Conscientious Students Consult l Richards Upon Legality C( of Taking a Shower ' di Governor Richards' announcement, in last Sunday's newspapers, that the an- th cient "Blue Laws" of this great con- li imonwealth would be rigidiy enforced, i broke like a bomb shell oi the Univer- ca sity campus. Students avakened from a peaceful night's rest by the loud cries of 1 newsboys telling of the catastrophere fr were somewhat alarmed as to what a course to follow during the lay. First, there was the possibility of tak ing a bath. Would it be lawful to run the water on Sunday? Conscientious students, with a view to keeping the law in the manner of their forefathers, de cided it would be a misdemeanor to des ecrate the Sabbath by performing their A matutinal ablutions. Then-why hadn't it been thought of before? Why the simple way out of this predicatment would be to telephone the Governor and ask him for permission to take a bath! This was promptly done. A maid an- p swered the phone and said the Governor was under the showers and could not he disturbed. This settled the question for University students; they could take a bath too. "Let's go to church," someone remark- v el when the shower had been turvoyd s off. "You can't go to church today, you dummy, this state is observing the 'Blue Laws'," was shot back. "WelU, they might be having church somewhere and as there is nothing else to do we might as well go." "Call up the Governor and ask himni about it." n So the- Governor was called. He an swered the 'phne himself. S, '"Say. Governor. this is the University and we want to know if it is lawful to gz- to church today." "What's that? We can go but don't put any money in the collection piate? Fine, thanks a lot, Governor." "Listen Bill, I canit go to church. there's a button off my suit and I can't a sew it on today. If I did and the gov ernor found out about it I never would " get out of jail." "'Maybe he'll give you permission to sew it mi as we are going to church. c You call him tip while I memorize this thing about "ear-baiting'." "Helio, is this the Governor? ListenP ti Governor, there's a button ofI my suit and I wvant to knowv if you'll sign an ercer giving me permission to sewv it on so I cat go to church today." "All right sir,. thank you. I guess that will do just as well." "What did he say?" "He said to go down to the Co-ed dorm, borrow a hair-pin, and brad it on." A tale is going the rounds of the cam lois that last Sunday. two law-abiding and eniergetic students caught a fresh mian weighing on a penny-weight ma ."4ine. They immediately ca'lled the chief executive on the telephone and offered to hold the lawbreaker until he (could arrive on the scene and take charge. Where and how to buy cigarettes was ' the main question at issue on the inaugu ration day of the "Blue Laws." Need less to say, University students solved this problem in their own way, although F it -is reported that many had to pay twevitv cents for the little white tubes 'f satisfaction as the "bootleggers" re fui'ed to take the chance of hanidling pennies over the counter. Many tales, have traveled over the camputs, of things that were (lone in rder to evade the "Blue L4aws" hut the A betone yet is the story of the law ~ ''udent who called his "Regular Man" l" and ordered a "half."

The originator of the scheme was cer inly disappointed if he expected the tile to prance and rear at being forced bear such a burden, for nothing 4ppenied. The mule stood complacently Sas the throngs of admirers scanned e epithet upon his back. He seemed ghly pleased and honored at the idea laboring under such a name and often was seen to cock tip one ear with his ndestanding ' animal intuition . jturn. I in the direction of the passers-by. The donkey was not allowed to give i1 exhibition any longer than eleven clock. He was removed. and not al wed to stand up for his good name any fnger.
