...first plan is to allow the host to sign for his guest's meal on a slip exactly like his own; thus the slip would be counted in the host's quota, at no additional cost. The scheme seems to answer the objections. There need obviously be no added book-keeping; and while there would be more inter-House dining, the restriction of the host's signature ought to prevent any concentrated rush from House to House, with its consequent disruption of meal-planning and degeneracy of House Unity.

Nominee Tubbs took a soap box away from a critical orator, harangued a street crowd on the virtues...
...jabs Jenny. But the prizes for endings will not be awarded until Thanksgiving and the prize-winners need not conform with the picture. The only satisfactory ending for The Phantom of Crestwood would be to borrow the glass barrel in Six Hours to Live (see col. 1), allow Jenny Wren to settle the matter herself...
