...writer for pulp magazines, who writes under the false-whiskery pen name of Marco Page and the influence of Dashiell Hammett. His characters first appeared last spring in a spade-calling mystery novel, Fast Company, in which the main victim was poetically conked with a bust of Dante.

Heroism of four Freshmen saved a negro from death at the hands of attackers last Saturday night. Passing by the alley connecting Winter and Summer Streets at about five minutes after twelve on their way from the theatre to the subway station, George C. Cunningham '42, George M. Flanagan '42, Owen W. Kite '42, and Montgomery M. Smith '42 heard sounds of a scuffle and decided to investigate...
