Man (and woman) down
through the ages have experienced a great delight in
laughing over the stories told on one another. Of course
not laughing as heartily when the joke was on them, but
nevertheless laughing. (They had to in order to keep
their self respect.) So my dear readers, this section is
dedicated to "you all" in order that you may laugh at one
another. No guarantee is offered that this section will
give anyone a "kick," although if taken literally some
may feel that the guarantee should have been offered.
Feeling that some
directions are necessary in order to get the proper
enjoyment from the reading of this bunk, one of the
editors has kindly consented to make out a key:
1. Open the book to the
student life section only when in the seclusion of your
own room.
2. Make sure that the
door is tightly bolted, otherwise someone may notice your
facial expression when you find your true self revealed
on one of the printed pages.
3. After finding your
secrets (which you thought forgotten) disclosed, practice
laughing. Then perchance you may be able to fool someone
into thinking the book was wrong. We doubt it!!
Owing to the rules laid
down by the censors we are forced to make some
explanation of pages 512 and 528. As you will notice the
pages in question bear black blotches over certain
portions. These two places really contained some prize
material. Bad, very bad, in fact so bad it had to go, and
all that is left for you to gaze upon is the remains.
"May they rest in peace."
The very touching
pastoral scene on page 482, was also very hard to get by
the censors. At last they compromised, saying that if we
got the permission of both parties in question they would
let it pass. A reporter was immediately dispatched to the
person who occupies the background. His permission to
print this scene was not easily obtained. He consented
with reluctance because he understood refusal would delay
the printing of the book. The permission of the other
individual could not be obtained as the reporter learned
that he had just made a hurried trip to South Omaha and
was not expected to return. As you see, the picture was
printed. The censors then decreed that the editor of this
section should pay for the alterations. We have done so
cheerfully. (?) Well, "that's that"; now we can let you
start in on this---
