to the latest university di rectory the freshman from sec tion iv a drinker house who made the discovery immediately spread the news to the other sec tion members lost no time in finding pelzel his insistent state ments of denial were wasted effort for no one believed him a brown and white reporter who arrived on the scene decided to check with the registrar's office there on one of pelzel's registra tion cards it was plainly written that he was married which seem ed to make his denials only an at tempted cover up but on closer inspection it was noted that the word single had been written previous to married pelzel wrote single at registration time but at a later date someone no doubt saw a splendid opportunity to play a practical joke on him looking still closer the reporter saw that
