THAT'S RESOURCEFUL Remember the terrible rain * we had on All-University Day? And then the rain had to follow us home and turn Behrend into a pool of water. One unfortunate freshmen, after wading in the rain was faced with the aggrava tion of not being able to close his umbrella. He fought with the thing for a while, became quite irate, and took the umbrella apart. Behrend now has a good start on a television antenna (all we need is a television) and our student can be seen walking in the rain wearing a black poncho (that for some reason looks like it came from an umbrella). by Lorie Balog ITM:9
