...more stores to buy guns before ascending, with a veritable arsenal, to the observation deck of the limestone tower that soars 307 feet above the University of Texas campus. There, from Austin's tallest edifice, the visitor commands an extraordinary view of the 232-acre campus, with its green mall and red tile roofs, of the capital, ringed by lush farm lands, and, off to the west, of the mist-mantled hills whose purple hue prompted Storyteller O.

The CRIMSON reports that Cliffies will begin using Lamont next Fall if President Pusey approves. The Harvard Undergraduate Council disapproves, citing "the male emotional stability factor." Only a third of the freshmen polled by the Yardling credit Cliffies with having...
