Paae 3
Year's Activities Hit All - Time High
Never say RIOT unless it's in
capital letters, 'cause it's been a
specialty at NU for well nigh a
school year, now, with the first
relief still two weeks of exams
away.
Activities hit an all-time high
on Sept. 18, when Rag headlines
screamed more housing for vet
erans, classes opened as sched
uled (darn it), and some 10,000
students became thoroly confused
when Andrews and Bessey halls
were camouflaged behind tempo
rary classrooms. Bernie had the
football boys on the ball, fall pic
nics began, rush weeks ended, and
registration hit the freshmen with
lines a mile long.
Skirts Down, Tickets Up.

battle cry (better luck next time)

you'll need that three months, to
recover for another year. It's just
possible that a new all-time high
could be hit again in '49, heaven
forbid, so make the most of these
summer days, and never fear,
school will come again ere long!
