Weather notes and campus gossip in a hazy column
The column comments on temperatures near two degrees above zero and discusses rumors of an oil line from Columbus to St. Louis contingent on right of way. It notes student life items from Bayard Baker’s birthday serenade to Barbara Brooks becoming the school correspondent and reports on campus clubs, a new fluorescent lighting upgrade, and a recent Raider-Morton game. It ends with a quip about three cornered pants worn as turbans in North Africa.
