STUDENT POSITION
Portion of Year Book Devoted to College of Law Artistically Designed
When the Stare Decisis publication conics out in a few days as a part of the "K1 Rodeo,” students of the College of Law will see one of the best books in the history of the school. The one hundred and twenty pages include cuts, twelve pages of sidesplitting jokes on the popular and unpopular students, art work of a higlj grade, and fraternity pictures that compliment their owners. The publication is a tribute to the efforts of Editor Wesley E. Marten and his assistants, Myron W. Silverstone and John S. Shepherd.
Note only the Stare Decisis section is of unsual quality, but the entire volume, the “El Rodeo,” compares favorably with many of the publications of the prominent institutions of tlie country.
The individual feature of the Stare Decisis section is the Non Compos Mentis, the annual newspaper which ls published whenever an insane delusion exists, or is about to exi't.
The Y. M. C. A. will complete its meetings of the year, when a final and ! farewell service will be held for the ! men students of the university, next | Tuesday morning, 9:50 at chapel. Dr. i Roy Malcolm, head of the history de-I partment will wind up the season's work by installing the officers for the coming year.
