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).
