Engineers Will Publish
A Spicy Scandal Sheet
At Their Annual Banquet
The Engineers' banquet on April
22, will be graced or disgraced by
the appearance of a spicy, and highly
slanderous scandal sheet. This jour
nal, an added feature of Engineers'
Week, will contain all the shady hap
penings in the Engineering College,
and neither names, nor details will be
omitted in its revelations.
At the last A. A. E. meeting the
Engineers unwittingly voted to pub
lish such a paper, and ever since the
editorial staff has been dividing its
time between sleuthing and wearing
out typewriters. Already, numerous
forgotten skeletons have been dragged
front various Engineers' closets, and
special operatives are now on the En
gineers' inspection trip, spotting every
thing that happens, and it will do any
rubber-necking Engineer well to avoid
the nightly whirl, because he will be
found out just as surely as ho would
if he did his carousing in Lincoln.
However, the staff realizes that it
is not 'perfect, and therefore, calls
upon every Engineer to assist, by turn
ing in all bits of rumor and gossip
reaching his ears. Boxes have been
placed on the first floor of the Me
chanic Arts building for receiving any
communications of this nature, and
the editors guarantee to assume all
responsibility and libel suits resulting
therefrom. No names of contributors
will be mentioned, no questions will
be asked, and anonymous contribu
tions will be gladly accepted. Fur
thermore, no hush money will be ac
cepted, and anyone offering it will live
to regret it. (Will the person who
dropped a quarter in the box, please
note.)
The name of the sheet is being kept
secret, but its victims may be assured
that it will be quite appropriate.
Meeting of all men interested
in Tennis at the Social Science
