LeRossignol
gets request
for book free
Being the author of nationally
acclaimed books brings Dean Le
Rossignol fan mail and with it
strange and ludicrous requests.
For Instance, he received a most
unusual request recently from a
gentleman in Philadelphia, who
lamented the fact that the Phlla-
delphla library did not have Le-
Rossignol's book, "From Marx to
Stalin." His request Bald, "Inas-
much as I don't have three dollars
to purchase the book, will you
therefore be kind enough to send
me a copy of it gratis?"
Mr. LeRossignol did not send
the book.
Union observes
spring vocation
by cleaning house
While all the students were
gone home for Easter vacation
the Union had its floors waxed,
that is if you haven't broken your
neck and found out by now.
The second floor corridors were
painted and all the furniture was
cleaned with a special soap.
