...Poon went on to attack the virility of the average Princeton man by including a section on fashions at Princeton. A quote from it reads, "Men at Princeton express their taste in lingerie by being oh so exact in details," lisps Mr. T. C. Spark, voted the best dressed man in Princeton...
Clymer went on to say that the CRIMSON had dropped the Lampoon from its regular schedule. "We would have liked to play them, of course, since the 'Poon is more serious than the Council and would not try to make a joke out of this thing.

But at least they are interesting and even pleasant...

He was returned to the 'Poon offices last June, but will probably not attain his former heights until the 'Poonsters scrape up $45 to cover the cost of resoldering him to his perch. How long he will stay up thereafter is uncertain...
