Northerners call it a "gut," Southerners a "crip," Westerners a "pipe" or "snap" or "Mickey Mouse." By any name, nothing is so beloved by collegians across the land as the course that is almost impossible to fail. No college ever admitted that it had guts; grateful old grads know better. Today, with students brightening and courses tightening, colleges are supposedly more gutless than ever. But are they...
...find no girl to go a la bois (parking), he may sop (drink) and get sobe (drunk). But a clanked lad sometimes decides to cooperate with the Vatican (the Administration building). He turns from a crip (easy course) and throws himself into cemetery working (tough studying). After hard work, his grades should be boxed, racked or knocked.

Let your keepers continue their 24 hour guard, let them burn the floodlights brightly, and let them keep the ditch around your cage filled with rat poison...
...births have had more careful attention than .the event among the cranes last week. Whooping cranes normally migrate from the Gulf Coast to unknown breeding grounds in Canada, but Crip and Josephine, the parents of Little 38, had been grounded by wing injuries. Last fall they were brought together by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and given the run of 150 acres of well-fenced Texas marsh. It was not certain that they would get along together. Some were not even certain, in spite of their names, that they were male & female...
