Meantime outraged Berkeley citizens have been meeting weekly in Citizens, Voters, Taxpayers and Economy Leagues to howl protest. Parents complain that their homes are upset by irregular school hours, that hygiene in tent-schools is bad, that the earthquake phobia is worse than earthquake...
...Berkeley's Board, firm in its own convictions, last week had plenty of outside support. With 18 schools closed, San Francisco had 18,200 pupils on halftime. Oakland was looking over its buildings. Los Angeles had found 275 buildings unsafe, pitched many a tent. A Permanent Committee on Earthquake Protection was at work under famed Physicist Robert Andrews Millikan.

...interesting to know that before every meal each of the waitresses in the Union must pass in review and execute an about-face in front of Miss Murray. Any traces of powder, rouge or lipstick call for serious rebuke. Little wonder that many of the waitresses resort to the Tent and Normandie ballrooms for relief. Well, despite our old-fashioned regulations, perhaps the situation down at Yale is worse. There no waitresses under 25 years of age are hired...
