Hiccough Has Silent Period Professor Gets Gripe* "Nobody Listens To My Speeche Or Appreciated Them", Says Professor "I am indulging in a great period c silence in order to think," declared Di G. A. Hiccough, head of the depart nient of English. "I think entirely too many specche arc being made by professors of th University. After all, as Dr. Mors said, we aren't getting paid for then so why bother? I do not intend t make another speech before the G.A.F until I receive expressions of apprecia tion for all I have already made. And muttering, "I am a mystic," Di Hiccough began liis long silence. Th veteran, professor will address hi classes henceforth solely by means c gestures. "They don't listen to me any way," he had earlier explained, "so don't see any necessity for my contin uing to waste all that energy. If popu lar demand for a lecture becomes to loud I'll borrow one of Dr. Blabcock' records." Mrs. Hiccough, it is rumored, ha waited for this occasion for man1 years. "Here's my opportunity," sh said. "I'm going to make the most c it. But you'll see, Gargle will get tire in a few days, unless- he passed on from strangulation when he firs breaks into speech." v. 8. c.

The II allowance in the past has been a slice t- every week with a serving of white y meat once every month. The meeting was called 011 petition ic of Joe Hallway, Gene McNutt, and it Kcnath Prince.

H SfiOlBw I Bl "he; I Vice Squad Ca Students Jack Fishborne And Albert Finch Machine Guns Used i University Rec: . riring on two loads of a machine gun as they charged into Pinckney College, long known among the students of the university as the Red Light District, by reason of the large lamp of that hue burning in front, Dr. W. E. Hoy and Dean Trireme Hclliot, joint-heads of the Vice-Squad, seriously injured Jack Fishborne and Albert Finchcr. The co-eds who were with them escaped through the back window. "We had always suspected," Dr. Hoy explained, "that Fishborne and Fincher were up to something of this sort, but we never had the goods on Local Police Ir Fire At Con The local police are investigating the recent fire at the Conard house and Chief Rawlinson has hinted that arrests will be made at an early date. Criminal negligence by several of the girls in the house will probably be charged. Rawlinson refused to elaborate his _ statement but special officer Frank Hubbard, who is conducting the investigation, gave further information. Because of the hour in the morning at which the fire occurred he has dismissed-as impossible the original supposition that the fire was caused by g the ardor of several University men c students who had not yet left the premises. ?e Woman Trouble Z Causes Rumpus "Woman Trouble" was the cause assigned to the recent rumpus between 1C Thomas Causey, midget Don Wahn, y and Xat Burton, aspirant to the pedestal vacated by Clarence Darrow.

Then he pulled together and sighed, "well, after all, you can't expect everything." Other inhabitants of Pinckney College were deeply grieved about the transgressions of their brethren. The general opinion was that the two evildoers had fallen from grace because tliey had stooped to Carolina co-eds, instead of following the crowd to Columbia College. 1 his raid was the first of a scries which Dr. Hoy and Dean Helliot are planning. It is announced that the next will be pulled off in several weeks. ivestigate lard Residence Hubbard believes that the fire occurred by spontaneous combustion when Evelyn EgglehofT, Edith Woodruff, and Joan Conard got up to take their usual setting lip exercises. He claims that he has several clues picked up on the premises and is making rapid progress in the investigation. He said he is on the job night and day. When asked what the clues were he blushed and refused to answer. When notified of Hubbards charges the three girls implicated immediately issued a statement that Hubbard was prejudiced as he had never stayed in a girls' dormitory. between them. A pitcher of water was overturned and sadly messed up Causey's pajamas which he had carelessly thrown upon the table. Both parties vigorously denied that they had any intention of settling matters on the field of honor, Causey asserting that where he came from they used blackjacks. XI. K. C.
