Wampus Society Number Will Stun Campus Today; Boy, It’s Really Peachy;
By J. Claude Manderbaugh
li somebody on campus today runs up and frantically aves a yellow-covered magazine at you tomorrow, you’d better not pass on with a shake of the head and a twist of the ^rist. You’d better not, all right, because the yellow-covered magazine will be the Society edition of the New and Greater Wampus.	♦printed has been Increased for the
Society edition. This doesn’t mean, however, that one and all shouldn t hurry to purchase the magazine, because the staff confidently expects another sell-out.
Oh. yes. and the special insert. Two pages have been set aside to parody the society sections of the downtown newspapers . . with columns, stories, and features written in the style so popular with the metropolitan press. And a couple of photos, too. This will really be one of the outstanding successes in the magazine.
Yes, Editor Roberts has, to use his own woras, outdone himself this month. If you don't believe it, buy one and prove it. Well, buy one, anyway.
And what a Wampus! If you bought, as so many other persons id. that last month's Wampus as about the best one you'd ever ■een. revise your opinion, because he Society number will not only mash you between the eyes, but :nock you down and tie your wrists Khind your bcck.
The sensation all starts with the Cover. Its new and greater cover, with a peachy cartoon, just like the New Yorker, only better . . . . much better. And. as has already been mentioned, it’s a yellow cover . . . very yellow.
Editor Roberts has outdone himself.
“I have outdone myself.” he admitted modestly, when approached yesterday cn the subject. “I,” he wont on to say, "have outdone myself.”
And he really has. Twenty-four pages just jammed with rowdy • but clean) articles, cartoons, jokes, advertisements, fashion sections, nd a special society insert will eep many a sleepy student awake iin his 8 o'clocks today.
The highlight of the whole thing i at least from a masculine viewpoint) will be the publication of :he photographs of the pledge classes of 12 sororities. They are really very fine photographs of very ’ine pledges, with their names ; reading, of course, from left to fight) under each photo. This alone kill be worth the price of the vol-rme.
Because sales last month were so remendous, the number of copies
