Some food and milk are coming ip, but supplies are very limilted. The situation has improved slightly, however,:from the vir tual anarchy whjeh prevailed for | a time. Army troops are on pa trol, with orders to shoot loot ers on sight. Rescue squads are | picking up corpses amid heaps of rubble up to 10 feet high. Often there is a stench of human flesh in the air. Probably never before in this hemisphere’s history has there been a revolt) which brought such fighting, looting and burning. The heart of Bogota was reduced- to a smoking j ruin. Hardly a public building escaped)! damage, and stores everywhere were sacked by monsters wielding:';knives and ma chetes. No reports: have been received of injury to United States citizens.

They are in the residential district known as Editor, THE BATTALION: I wonder how many Aggies hgve had to strain to hear their instructor because of the noise mpde by an inconsiderate windbag across the! hall who apparently thinks that the effectiveness of his teaching is proportional to the volume qf bis voice? I have this difficulty three times a week, in spite of the fact that our door is closed and our instructor has tin average voice. No doubt the an tics qf this prof amuse his, stu dents, blit they dorrt amuse those of us in adjoining' rooms who are trying tp hear - whgt id going on in our own classes. \\ Of course I am referring to the character {known as “Screaming Al.” t lj 0 P e (his letter will have soipe effect on the Screamer, but I .doubt it.
