...Lecture 3 some wit authoritatively approached the blackboard, and changed the writing on the wall to RIGHT CENTRE LEFT. The first tremors of the quake were now felt. A hundred or more leftist students, eager for Change, girded their loins and marched through the CENTRE RIGHT. Simultaneously the stalwart reactionaries of the RIGHT goose stepped over to the LEFT side. The resulting scrimmage around CENTRE gave the delicate seismograph upstairs a bad case of jitters, and fear was felt for Costa Rica or somewhere...
...Second Spring, first published novel of an unknown 28-year-old English girl.

They had just completed the first flight across the U. S. and back ever made by Negroes. Elapsed time: 11 days...
Every Summer School has its famous characters. Among the most outstanding features in feminine reflections at the Union we find a stalwart youth with ebony mane popularly known as the Answer to a Maiden's Prayer. But the most vigorous attention and well-meaning conjecturers have produced no real results. Our unnoticing hero has formed no feminine attachment to allay the disquieting fears of our fascinated schoolmarms, and we are beginning to question whether there really existed a maiden's prayer, or whether the answer was short circuited. Here at least is a case where wire-tapping would...
