...John Daniel Henderson, pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church of Spartanburg, S. C. left on a year's leave of absence several months ago. In London last month he met an attractive man in the Regent's Park zoo. A clean-cut, serious young fellow he was, named O'Rourke...
Spartanburghers are resourceful. The Rev. Mr. Henderson pulled his hat down over his eyes, changed his overcoat, shaved off his mustache. Being thus, as he said, "disguised," Pastor Henderson took to haunting Regent's Park zoo. Last week he again met a charming young man who had just been left ?400,000. His accomplice was nearby.

Mr. Henderson caught him three blocks away. Both crooks were jailed...

He offered his full approval if the meeting were held at 9 o'clock. The Liberal Club, however, has already voted to hold the meeting at the stated time regardless of the approval or disapproval of University authorities, "inasmuch as the demonstration is a matter of principle...
...Council suggested that Mr. Luce, the Regent, assume the duties. It would seem more desirable for the Council to appoint a single student to this office, for an undergraduate necessarily carries a more sympathetic viewpoint to the resolution of conflicts. House Committee Chairmen should be required to register their activities with this student, and plan their House functions under his direction. Tea Dances, formals, discussion groups, important dinners and speeches, musical entertainments, plays--all these should be registered. It might be well to have occasional conferences of House Committee Chairmen, called by the Student Council appointee, to decide what conflicts...
