Show Campus Rules (A BIG JOKE) "Campus Rules." "Yes." "No." "Oh, yes! Who said campus rules?" "Nobody." "That's right. Why, sure, nobody. Might have known as much when I come to think about it all." "But, really, was there or is there anything in this institution which bears that name, 'Campus Rules?' Come on! No more foolin'." "Well, since you insist, I suppose I will have to tell you, but I do detest this tale bearing. So here goes. It was just this way: You know, we have up here on the hill a bunch of Owls. Human owls, of the species Homo Seniro. Well, you know this bunch never did do anything, so in order to leave some impression of their four years' visit at the University, some of them hit upon the idea of campus rules. Well, it sure was a good hit and come near being a home run, but some one up here by the name of Noso Faculto got on first base and there it stopped." "Quite interesting, but I shouldn't have thought that a bunch with such large craniums would have let a little, insignificant thing like that stop the good work." "Well, it is a shame, but you know these humans do sometimes get cold feet. Well, this time, just as soon as the crust started to form on their shoes they ran home and stuck their feet in the oven. Then they shouted to the remainder of the bunch to come and help, but, of course, it was no good, and so all we have left are the red stickers. The other fellows didn't want to. Well, I got to go. There comes by Isenbaumvagon. I will tell you more about campus rules next year, when all the old owls have gone south, and the young owls are making the old school stand on end." First Senior-"Say, that was fine what Prexy said at chapel, wasn't it?" Second Ditto-"Yes,-what was it?" First Senior-"I forgot." "Why don't you ask Shorty to lend you that V; I'm clean." "Believe me, I did, and he told me to go to the devil." "What did you do?" "Naturally, I came here, kiddo." ( 208 ) |
