A bulletin issued to the faculty
by Dean of Student Affairs T. J.
Thompson this week, reads:
"Will members of the instruc
tional staff, if you have not al
ready done so, take some means
of informing your classes as to
your identity. We find, even at
this late dale, that a number of
students with whom we have had
conferences have no idea as to the
names of some of their instructors.
It may be helpful to indicate the
location of your office and also
the hours you have set aside for
conferences with students."
No 'cuts' permitted.
Taking up class attendance, the
bulletin points out that the Uni
versity regulation does not permit
"cuts." A student is, it continues,
responsible for the attendance re
quired by the leaeher. In case of
illness, or for other valid reasons,
students may request an excuse
from the Dean of his college, the
Dean of Women, or Dean of Stu
dent Affairs.
Absence reports are required

Nasty men

poor Dotty!
It may be funny, but not for
Dorothy.
It's gone her sarong.
You know Dotty, the once
Sarong-draped figure that hung in
the Hotel Capitol's Hurdle and
Halter.
Well, Friday night someone
made off with the beauty's one,
only, and very necessary piece of
clothing.
Dorothy Lamour, shapely screen
star, wore the sarong in the pic
ture "Her Jungle Love." Hay
Hedges, Hurdle and Halter man
ager, entered into negotiations
w ith Miss Lamour and for the sum
of J100 came into possession of
the sarong. This he draped about
the familiar Lamour figure in the
tavern.
Police and Hedges suspect two
fugitives lioin it fraternity scaven
ger hunt as being the culprits. The
suspicious characters weie ob
served about the tavern through
out the evening.
Undoubtedly the bandits were
members of a la rue, powerful or
ganization, for this was no ordi
nary Job. Secrecy surrounds the
'actual theft. It probably hap
pened about 11 p. m. but was not
discovered until Saturday morn

in need of her n:iiong.

their efforts will be appreciated.
