...original portions of the House, Randolph and Westmorely Halls, were erected at a cost of more than $200,000 each, not in the dormitory tradition of architecture, but as living quarters for the more affluent students of the period just prior to the inauguration of the House Plan. The interiors of Randolph and Westmorely, while not as "modern" as those of some of the houses, have the speciousness and grandeur germane to an are when the art of living was perfected to a degree.

Since Stan Kostka comes from a little farm near South St. Paul, the stockyard centre of Minnesota, and has two brothers working in the stockyards, he has a natural claim to "Hook 'Em Cow" loyalty. He scored none of Minnesota's five touchdowns against Chicago last week, but his runs, swift and swaying like a cowboy, and his bowling-ball interference helped make them possible.

Nostalgia gives way to intemperate anger when he thinks of the injustices he received at the hands of rich Hugo Barnstead. The telephone rings. The affluent Mr. Barnstead is in the hotel just across the street, stricken with toothache.
