there will be an abundance of ar tistic work provided every one who has promised aid in this line will give all that was promised in the literary line however the pros pects are by no means so encourag ing of course the board has little means of knowing what work is being done in this line but so far as the members are aware there will be space for much more than is likely to be received there fore all who have any literary ability at all but who so far have done nothing are earnestly urged to get busy and give to the epitome some effusions of their genius and those who have hearkened unto the frequent appeals of the board and intend to give some of their spare time and inspiration are asked not to forget their good intentions contributions can be given to any member of the board

which have been handed in have been woefully small again we wish to cry more gags and still more gags it is desired to make this particu lar feature of the book unusually strong and of interest to its read ers but that is impossible without the help of the students the box in packer hall will be kept open until march 1 and before that date the number of gags should be largely increased every
