MAMMA CAT SWEARS AT FRESHMAN GIRLS
Mother, Calling Babies, Shocks First-Year Women at Gym Affair Friday
IS INTERRUPTED
PROGRAM
But Janitor Plays the Hero and Takes Mean Thing Away and Play Proceeds
Fluff, a mother cat, in whom mother instincts were stronger than histrionic ambitions, came near breaking up the girls' freshman frolie, in the gymnasium Friday night. Because she had left her three small daughters at home, she objected violently to the marriage of a faire "The Burglar," and scratched clawed, wailed, and cried for her freedom. Three girls tried to master her but were unsuccessful. The audience got "next" when the cat, imprisoned in a bag, under the stage, watched the girls swairing violently. The junior, Mr. Miller, had to settle the turbulent feline.
Preceding the farce, Katherine Redding, assisted by Lillian Wolfe, gave a Thumb dance. A general mixer followed ending in a lantern held over the floor where the girls marched down past the Chancellor's house, to Tennessee street, where they held an enthusiasm meeting. They were aided and abetted by the men living along the course of their march, who came out in the rain. "We went to U." Two hundred and fifty women of the University attended the frolic.

SAYS CHANCELLOR
Night Shirt Procession Good for University if Students Act Properly
“If the students will refrain from lawless acts down town, I believe the parade next Saturday night will be a fun one,” said Chancelor Strong this morning.
"The nightshift parade is usually a good thing. It has been the custom of the University for a good many years and I can see no harm in it if the students will commit no offenses. We should have no invasion of the rights of others. I hope the Student Council will have some direction of the matter."
