M im eograph ed
The newest racket for college
girls is practiced at Augustana
college, South Dakota. The girls
sell mimeographed reputations of
fellows as they are doped out at
the girls’ “bull sessions.” At that
rate even the worst reputation is
worth dough on the market.
Classmates Ahoy
For the first time in any Am
erican college a course is being
offered to develop a sense of hum
or. At the University of Florida,
students may now enroll in a
course which is designed to de
velop one’s ability to appreciate
comedy in life.
To measure results, a special test
of humorous perception is given
to students at the beginning and
end of each term.
It- didn’t tgke the Washington
Alpha Phis long when Nino Mar

afternoon, one was touring the
town with him, another wras with
his companion, Miquel Sandoval,
somewhere, and still another was
contemplating accepting a date
with the young and handsome
piano-key tickler, according to the
campus daily.

G. B. Shaw’s “Pygmalion,” scheduled again at 8 o'clock this evening
in Guild hall. Sympathetic interpretations of the white-bearded pari

to a too small but appreciative audience. But there were weak spots.
