...closest city is Trenton, considered by Princetonians as the poor man's Scollay Square. Last year the Nassau Sovereign described Trenton as "a fair rose, a blushing maiden," with its tongue so far in its cheek that it almost choked. Students who go there are viewed as morally depraved, even if just for the movies...
First of all, there is the all-night movie in Scollay Square. The features change too rapidly to keep track of. We've been informed, however, that this week's show includes four of Tom Mix's very best. Absolutely the place to go if you're rather not come home and face your roommates...

Since then, Boss Curley has given the vessel a few more kicks...
