meal is eaten by young Greeks
under an American trade name
that disguises its nature.
University of Massachusetts-
Some 100 students recently
stage d a protest demonstration
to halt the building of a new 28
story library on campus.
The students were more
against destruction of the grassy
area surrounding a pond near
the site of the new library than
the construction itself, though.
The demonstration began when
a girl attempted to stop workmen
from removing a tree which was
exactly on the site of the new
building. She was soon joined by
a group of students who took over
a bulldozer in an effort to halt
construction.

may have a “Kentucky Colonel*
instead of a mounted rebel cheer-
ing them on this fall.
The school’s new mascot, a
69-year old army colonel, said
he is going to send a letter to
the Department of the Army in
Washington asking its permission
to wear the Confederate uniform.
He said if they refuse he would
“grow a Colonel Sanders beard
and be a Kentucky Colonel.*

Angelina CoUege—in a plan
to alleviate the boredom of dead
