Dry Lecture Prompts Freshman to Resort to Peaceful Slumber; Vociferation Fails to Arouse
A freshman boy wandered into the classroom of one of the most "grish" professors, shuffled to the back of the room. He sat in a chair and soon was fast naked.

The professor, when his lecture was about half over, noticed the sleeping boy in the room of the room, "Young man!" he called. There was no answer, the boy still continuing his skimmers. Again the professor sought to nawaken the sleeping bed with vicipation, but to so avoid. Then, resorting to more strategic means, the angered man conned the student about his inability to climb up." A couple of chowel shows the purpose, and the sleeper awoke with a startled exclamation.
"Young man," said the professor he tones that showed little tendency

toward self-restraint or surpression of sarcasm, "if you find this course so dry that you can't keep awake during my lecture you can leave the room and pursue your slumber elsewhere."
Instead of humbly begging the professor's pardon and giving some excuse for his dosing, the boy calmly picked up his notebook, and while the class and professors held their hands, walked out of the room, walked out of the room.
Malady Follows Closely Epidemic of Pneumonia; Every Precaution Taken
(Science Service)
Washington, Nov. 19. — Close under the heels of the largest epidemic of pneumonia that ever visited this country, the U.S. Army Corps, Angeles, Calif., of a bubonic penguin. The U. S. Public Health Service announced that two cases of this dread disease had broken out within eight days of the quarantined Mexican district.
So far the cases are among the same type of people that suffered from the pneumonic plague. The genus of the bubonic plague are carried by rat fleas, and a rat war is possible. Health Service is certain that the malady will not spread as every precaution is being taken.
The professor's vision of dealing out another "F" to this presumptious student was interrupted by an unpersuasive roar of laughter from several boys in the back row. In nouns that were clearly referring the cause of the outburst one of them replied, "Why, you see professor, he was only a visitor."
The bubonic type comes from India and the southern marital countries, while the pneumonic plague comes from Manchuria and cold climates. The two are distinct demic paucity centers, the district of Assay in Arabia on the shores of the Red Sen, parts of Mesopotamia and Persia, the northwest provinces of India, Yunnan and Manchuria, where the infection occurs most frequently in India during times of famine. From the exports of the infected regions it has been brought to all parts of the world by sailors from the Arabian greece, and by sailors themselves.
Pneumonic plague is a nearly infectious, entering the body through the air passage while bubonic plague germs enter through the skin. Hawaiian Islands about 1900. Since that time there have been no severe outbreaks but rat wars are carril or in the seaport towns to prevent these.
Directories Selling Fast
Men's Student Council Desirous of Supplying Students
"About 1,700 of the 2,500 student directories printed have been sold at the present time," said Paul Rienice, treasurer of the Men's Student Council and chairman of the committee for the sale of the directories.
In previous years the state legislature has appropriated funds with which to print the directories and distribute them free of charge. This year, however, there was no appreciation so the Men's Student Council took the responsibility of putting it out for the students' benefit.
Fifty of these directories were sent to the registrar for distribution among members of the faculty.
"Every student should have a directory as it is one of the most useful articles on the campus. In addition to the benefit to the person himself, the student body should hold the sale of these directories because students are often in a state of sacrifice to that organization," declared Mr. Riensik.
Student directories may be obtained at the business office and the Y. M. C. A. office in Fraser hall.
Training Course Offered
A training course in recreational leadership for boys will be given by the Lawrence Council, Boy Scares of America, Dec. 1, 2, 3, 8, 9, and 10. The sessions will be held at the Plymouth Congregational Church, from 7:30 to 9:30. Ralph D. Childs, local executive officer of the school, will scout leaders and other group works working with boys. Some of the best boys' workers in the state will be used as instructors."
