numerous, it becomes easier for
each breeder to - secure from his
neighbor breeders, bio 3d which mav

A college prank that goes beyond tbe
limit of fan and savors very strongly of
'cus?edness" was perpetrated Tuesday
night by persons unknown, who painted
09" in larse letters on the new Inther-
an church thai, is nesting completion out
on college hill. While it would appear
to be the work of the Sophomores, it is
emphatically denied and bitterly con
demned by the entire class, as it is in
fact by the whole school. Fan is fun
only so long as it is innocent and does
not interfere with the rights of others.
Such work as that of defacing a house of
worship, or, in fact any other prop3rty,
is mere hoodlumism and as such meets
with nothing but condemnation from all
right minded people.
