The Witt Hick , editor Masselo. business manager This whimsical little publication, the campus humor maga- zine (mental quotes about the “humor”) appears monthly with an average of two pages of original stuff, nine pages of cds, and five pages of cracks plagarized from magazines of other colleges. This composition gave rise to the rumor that one issue of the Witt was delayed because the editor had lost his scissors. Appearing on the campus first in 1922, the Witt made a reputa- tion for itself as pretty clever—so much so that in 1926 it wes admitted to the Wid-Western College Comic Association. In the past few years, however, there has a been decline in the clever stuff. Highlight in Witt comedy this year was the so-called popularity contest in which the editors did a great job of ballet counting with the result that Messrs. Hicks and Hasselo wound up in the first division among the men. Copies of the Witt ere kept in the Library of Congress—you guess why they want them. f afe One Hundred Ten
