N-ncy -v-ns: Yes, it is quite true—the benevolent Council has provided a fully-equipped robing room downstairs and there is really no need to add unnecessary weight to the already heavily-taxed Library chairs.

M-ry C--l-y: We have made careful enquiry and find that cars may not be parked on Kelburn Parade for durations of longer than twelve hours. We suggest that you may be able to prevail upon your friend to provide a ramp over his house.

P-ggy M-cD-n-ld: Yes, we have heard of your very fine and complete collection of greens, ranging from pale verdegris to dark mildew, and can only marvel that you haven't contracted ptomaine poisoning before this. We are pleased to advise you that our fashion expert has learnt of two of the new season's tints. She suggests that you have your Spring ensemble carried out in slime green and decayed celerly.

R-t- N-l-n: You think "Spike" would not be complete without its Cat Column? For that matter—what Cat Column would be complete without its R-t- N-l-n? Tell Dick that Mr. Miller has noticed with compassion his efforts to connect with you across the Library tables and has advised us that he intends to have telephones installed there at an early date.

M-ldr-d H-gg-ns: No, we don't think you so very much like Rupert Brooke. Why not shave it right back now and be Shakespeare—just for fun!

E-l-n Pl-nk: We have received your ten-page complaint about the manner in which the Women ran their Club nomination meeting. We are sorry it has caused you such upset. Tell Charlie that we may—we're not promising mind—but we May let you be Sole Selector for the Stud. Ass. Committee next year. So cheer up and be your own bright little self again.

P-ggy S-lw--d: No, we certainly do not like the black football socks, even if they Were worn by Mark Nicholls once upon a time. You attract the attention of the onlookers from the rest of the team who are naturally feeling annoyed about it. Try to put up with plain, wholesome black stockings, even if they do hide your knees.
