...seems that there is a little problem with one of the English profs down at old Siwash U. He has his eye on the pretty coeds, and he, well, he takes advantage of them.

Knox students, faculty and administration members have canvassed Galesburg, house by house, for signatures on an antiwar petition. Furthermore, Knox will probably−like Princeton−give its students...
