"Yet V.U.C. will bring this misfortune on itself if numbers abstain." Who said "Smad" editorials were dry?

* * *

"At last the day is on hand, and the Election lists reveal heavy competition in the lower grades, with comparatively little for the higher places." But who wants to be a higherling?

"Dance—At last the drought has broken." Yes, but we noticed it at the Capping Ball.

"He is taking his M.A. this year, but will still be connected with the University next year." What a gloomy euphemism!

This week's simile:

"As changeable as a 'Spike' poster."

A slightly revised version of a short poem by "X" in a recent issue of "Smad":

Friday.

Friday is not my day
In the Caf. at V.U.C.

Coffee hot (and burnt as well),
On Friday, Caf. can go to—well!
