Who  dun  it Yes,  who  took the
pimentos out of the olives? The
number one mystery of the past
week has been solved by one Ronnie Finch, of the physical education
department According the Head
Coach Ronnie, the pimentos in the
olives, served with sandwiches! at
the Keeler Union soda bar, have
been missing. Upon investigating
and a little brain work Ron discovered the reason. "Eureka! I have
found it!" says Mr. Finch. According to his solution the pimentos
were removed from the olives and
used to add flavor to chicken-a-la-

faculty potluck supper. Is that right?

to blink the lights in front of the
dormitory at five minutes to ten
each night, that the girls, should
not be charged with a lateness, i
"After all," said the boys, "we stand
out in front of the dorm waiting for
that five minutes warning signal
and when it doesn't come we
naturally don't expect the doors to
be locked right away. That blinking
of the lights is our cue to head for
the door—slowly. Therefore, we protest the decision to charge our girls
with lateness because the chap does
