Every alumnus of theUniversity would regret to see these fine old treesdestroyed . And why should they be? In Paris andVienna, the trees are kept, the paving aroundthem becoming islands . That's what Normanshould do ."A crime note from '29-"Five kewpie dolls

from the beautiful Kappa Kappa Gammas ; Onepair of suspenders from the dcligent Phi BetaDeltas ; One cowboy hat from the gallant SigmaNits ; One lumberjack from the ChestcrficldianBeta Theta Pis.
