Wo were standing on the outside of
tho Latin room in the corridor sad-
ly bemoaning our. fate and dreading
that inevitable exam; when suddenly
the door burst open and a- little vbun-
dlo of gleo and exuberant agitation
flew at. us and to our astonishment
and amazement grabbed us taking us
around and around in a dlzzlng circle;
while at the same time .we were con-
scious of a perfect torrent of excla-
mations. Wo were utterly bewildered
and gasped -for an explanation. The

SHOCKING DISCOVERY!!!
Graft In Simmons Collcgrol
(Editor's Note: Beginning a series'
of articlos frbm Investigations made
by a reporter on tho Brand staff ox-
posing tho GRAFTS In Slmnions Col-1
lego.)
Coupled with tho sbclal upheavals
and sensational probes into public cor-
ruption tho world' ovor comes tho
startling discovery of grafting In thoi
very confines of our school. Tho as-
tounding discovery that forms a baste
for this extraordinary statement was
not mado by somo.slmplo windfall. It
was actually mado after careful ob
servation and BtUdy. At last wo have
discovered why strict social rules are
mado and why they aro put aside only
on rarq occasions. Wo have stood
'Tour-square" against all methods of
graft in tho. past. Tho wc'ddlng-.graft-or
who unablo to got "hitchod" him
self frequents weddings and nevor
fails to Wbs tho brido; tho Christmas
grafter who maloos a practlco of seek-
ing out fair damsels when they -aro
nearest tho mlstlotoe and tho class-
graftor who pushes through a propo
sition for n class reception In ordor
that ho may havo a dato with his girl
havo como in for their sharo of criti-
cism. Sinco wo havo. pursued theso re
lentlessly wo.; feol it right and proper
that wo should oxposo theso. latest
parasites and with all boldqess de
nounce their nefarious practice.'
In order that tho reader may bo
kept in suspense no longer wo will
dtscloso the ones' against whom we
mako tho chargo. They aro no lesd
than the faculty apd their tools the
proceptresses.s Now gasp. It is true.
They aro tho ones higher up; they have
unbluahlngly Inserted their hands in
our pockets 'and withdrawn the fifty
cents dollar or dollar and a half (as
tho prico of tho entertalnmont might
havo been) -as tho price of a talk with
our dearly beloveds. Knowing as
thoy do that wo connot resist tho
winsome smiles and irreslstablo glan
ces of tho co-eds thoy havo forbidden
our oven talking to them excopt at en-
tertainments arranged by them. Then
thoy havo arranged entertainments
with tho diabolical knowledge that wo
havo no other chance to talk to tho
idols of our dreams and in that way
literally -forced us. to go.
As a further precaution' against our
possible escape thoso of us who in
desperation break their rules aro
either' sentenced to terms of imprison-
ment in the study hall or worso still
aro forbidden oven tho slight conso-
lation of a once-ovory-week-or-iso visit
to an entertainment.
At lost it is out. ' A fearless press
has proclaimed' and denounced it. It
it a graft plain and simple Of course
it is not the money that wo aro grumb-
ling about. Wo would spend that somo
where olso if not at tho entertain-
ments. "It Is the principal of the
thing." --jacr:' ANJILL.
With apologies-to Imd Pill. '
Oh It's curls curls curls
Long golden curls.
Short black curls
And cork-screw curls.
And now agaiu its curls.
All tho girls wear curls. l
They may bo real or false curls
But Just tho Bamo they're curls.
