Some of the investigations on such practices, ha\;e been nothing short of an open scan- <lal. *.

Everywhere Cousin Sue goes, s^e takes “Critty’’ (that’s short for her husband),.-and the 3 dogs along. The reason that I could guess for “Critty” being in the crowd at all was that he looked after the dogs. We havq 12 rooms in our house, but neither of them happeh|ed to be a dog room. That surprised Cousin Sue. All of the elite now have special rooms in their homes-for canines, felines, an*l monkeyines. We told her she might use 1 of the up-stairs rooms for the dogs. But .she said each of the j dogs had to have a separate room, as to kmiw Iwltef, not only drinking > openly from Inittles in the stands, but offering liquor to undergraduate spec tators and to girls and young women attending the games.
