Sometime within the last twenty-four

been duly mustered and as in the days
of "98 and 99, can indulge in the
greeat sport of gamblin on the truth

ors concerning when we will get onr
money. Many students here are
"broke" and these are praying for
Uncle Sam to come to the rescue and
save them from the necessity of
washing their own clothes. Laundry
charges here are rather stiff and the
men without money must wash to
keep clean as they are not allowed
credit by the laundry concerns.
There have been 'two deaths in
