For the rest of Saturday and on Sunday and on Monday morning, the kidnapped Dictator persisted in a stratagem characteristically Chinese: he maintained his lips closed and his expression unchanged. Anyone who has ever cured a dope fiend will realize how trying this conduct by the kidnappee was last week to the kidnapper in question. Young Chang fairly howled with anguish at his inability to get Dictator Chiang to enter into the sort of negotiation which any orthodox kidnappee is usually eager to undertake with an orthodox kidnapper...

Therefore you need not worry...
Saturday's column had a bit about the threatened "kissing strike" at the University of Utah, but space prevented us from giving out all the dope, more of which has come to light from the Washington State Evergreen. The boys on that paper became more than somewhat excited about the whole idea and set out to find out just what the boys and girls of Washington State thought about such a strike. They asked untold numbers of students, but couldn't find any who favored the idea. This discovery must have made them feel much better for they printed...
