Show THE HUMBUG A FTER an absence of two years, the Humbug was again welcomed on the University of Utah campus by the students and faculty members alike. The Humbug very successfully carried out its purpose as a distinctly humerous magazine due to the efforts of a most capable and hard-working staff. The Humbug had a very definite place in the campus life until last year when it was decided that the University needed one single magazine more typical of student activity, and as a result the literary and humerous work of the students was combined into the one magazine, the Crimson. The trial very effectively proved that people enjoy only one thing at a time; and the publication of the two magazines were renewed after an election held last fall to let the students decide the question. The different issues of the year carried out the idea suitable to the season of its appearance. A great many students cooperated in decorating and handing in the material for the publications. During the past year, four issues of the Humbug were published. The first issue appeared Prom week. The motif was typical of the mid-winter Prom social season with its Open House and other gay activities. The second number depicted St. Patrick's Day with its symbolical green coloring, shamrocks, pipes, and Irish witticisms. A most important element of the campus life was represented in the third publication by a "Co-ed" number, it being truly typical of its subject by its variety and orginality. The year's publication came to a successful :lose bv the dedication of the last magazine to those who graduate, in a "Grad" number symbolical of Utah spirit and fun. The "College Humor" magazine commented favorably on the Humbug as it has been published this year. The staff of the University of Utah Humbug was composed of Richard E. Cosgrove, editor-in-chief; Frederick \V. Reynolds, Jr., associate editor; Dean Olson, business manager; M. L. Gowans, editorial assistant; Richard L.
