The people did come together and cry out against the evil doings of the oppressors. For it is written, "And out of the people shall come moaning, groaning, griping and bitching against the oppressors, repressors and pants pressers." Then one day at the University, a man did come unto the city and he spake unto the people saying, "Get ye off thine asses and straighten things out around here, y'all." And the students did rise up against those who did run the University. And again the elders gathered and pulled their hair, poured sackcloth over their ashes (for they were out of practice in that habit.) Again the wise one spoke: "Let us give unto the students football, basketball and a multitude of other things to keep their minds off thinking." And again the guardians went out, and did as they were told. They started fraternities, signed great athletes to their teams, built a coliseum, a stadium and did seek to carpet that stadium with a rug costing thirty pieces o('silver. And they did import a righteous man to lead them, and he did much smiling and said good things, and the people of the land were taken by him-and yea verily, were taken .for a great ride by him. nment lential by Charles Beeb4 editor-in-chief t will be the duty of ever) student body elections.
