work on the Longhorn when he
was seriously injured on a hunting
trip while home for the Christmas
holidays. Ele, the one who has
caught the brunt of the evil spir
it’s wrath, had to resign from
school the first semester and
was unable to return for the sec
ond. Therefore the Student Publi
cations Committee had to look a-
round for a third editor-in-chief
of the Longhorn. Their choice was
the managing editor, Morton Rob
inson.
To fill Morton’s old position Lo
vell Kilpatrick was picked. Five
days later the “ole spirit” struck
again for it was only yesterday
that Lovell was pronounced to
have the measels by Dr. Marsh at
the college hospital.
Now the entire Longhorn staff
is threatening to go on strike, but
Robinson is trying to hold them to
gether by promising them a spec
ial Longhorn room at the hospit
al if they all catch the measles.
