Floor for Restriction
As punishment for "doing
something,, we shouldn't have
done and got caught at" sev
eral soldiers from the library
are spending the week end in
restriction and also scrubbing
the Union floors. Saturday
there were seen several of the
offenders armed with mops and
pails mopping madly from the
back door to the Corn Crib.
' When questioned concerning
their bad conduct the men only
moaned and continued their
work. While the punishment
should end this evening, It may
be continued on during Sun
day. These hard working sol
diers will no doubt be fine ex
amples for the rest of the men
on the campus.

There are letters and then there
are those letters that the Mortar
Boards keep getting telling them
all about the girls the campus
male wants in his "Christmas
Stocking."
The Daily will continue to print
the letters as they come in to the
MBs. They should be addressed to
Santa Claus in care of the Mortar
Boards, Student Union and of
course the sender's name must
accompany the letter or it can
not be considered in picking the
winners. Besides being presented
with the girl of their choice at
the "Christmas Ball," winners will
receive complimentary tickets to
the dance.
Yesterday the MB's found some
ag campus letters in their mail
box and one of the most unusual
of these was the poetic rendition
which follows.
