And believe it or- not, yout can't even keep a mule on the campus. Football players might have passedl enough subjects to remain on the squad if they had att ended the U niversity in 1884. Paying no tuition, standing no entrance examinations,- (nor intelligence tests), they wouldl have beeni carefully dlrilledl in fourth grade reading, third gradle writ ing, and grammiar instead of the pres ent day I lbrary science and Bible. IThis happened (luring "Itadical Rule" when negroes at t ended school here. No amateur program was necessary to raise money for equipment or buses in the 19th century here at the University. Upon the suggestion of a student, enough money was donotated ini a very short period to build the Maxcy Monu: ment. Be careful, (lon't shouit "Rat" or "Fresh" at a lirst year studlent or you will be expelled if the rules of the Uni versity are enforced. D)on't use tobacco on the campus, and above all, be sure to get permission from the president before going to a theatre.
