PALEONTOLOGY
The term Sophomore is u deriv-
ative of Sorehophaguaiintan. an
Esquimaux translation from the
middle Olithlc era, of the fifth level
in a porcelain beer imic, y*|tie and
of doubtful firisin. It may also tie
used in referring to animals with
two bigs on. the under side and re-
gions of vacuum and plastic pro-"
portions. Darwin once made the
statement to his sister in law- from
Meaumont. that only in the wildest
flights of his imagination—and then
hesitatingly—was he able to place
the Sophomores in the class of
higher vertebrate animals. "1 am
prone to say," he Is recorded as
having stated, "that Sophomores
are the only living examples of the
theory that every family tree has
its sap." i; a
iode toward making u
■■spirit at. liice is sadly depressing -
with all of which title Thresher agrees,
and hereby announces that the Staff
has 111 tickets to the Riec Nite tor
sale (Adv.). Mr. W'ademan, who has
been earnestly endeavoring to put Kiee
Nite over, appeals to the students to
i get hot oil this selling proposition
j Mr. McCains, who also spoke a few
words at the meeting, observed that
two out of one thousand fathers had
respondent with the essential two
: bucks.
As the reporter recalls, there were
no casualties at the meeting all bough
j lead pipes and brickbats were gener-
ously distributed In Keeping with the
| political situation, Although Mr.
Wademan at the time did not realize
; the danger of tils position, we are. hap-
l !>.v to announce that he at present has
suffered no bodily Injury
