LEAVE IT OR NOT By Scripley Leave It or Not (Probably Not) Copy Right — if you believe it — 1931 Reprint rights granted to the Deans, if they wish to present any evidence or dirt on anyone or anything with the hope that through Scripley ' s strange tales of unusual happenings at Pacific, the University might be purged of all evil. Address all com- munications to me at the dead letter office: they will be delivered promptly. Pacific 1931 As an opening to this would-be student life, bad jeers, humor or mud section, a phrase or two of discussion might be not inappropriate. Anyway, regardless of your opinion, here goes. Precedent has decreed that some alleged humor — do you follow? humor — be contained in the college annual. Now it seems that in every humor section of the past someone has objected to being humor- ized, if I may, and others have objected By Scripley because their name didn ' t appear in some bum joke. So to maintain the peace and calm of Pacific, but mainly so that we might return to school next year, we are doing our burlesquing, lying, jeering, story telling, joking, or what have you, under only one condition. Leave it or not, by Scripley. Our idea was taken from Rip- ley ' s Believe It or Not cartoons, and as he seems to be getting away with it, we hope to, too. Perhaps you think the 1931 Heart of Oak would be better off witnout a student life section. But the blank verse we first wrote made the pages look bare without print, and the business depression made the sale of advertising so difficult, that we just couldn ' t help but write this section if only to fill up space. If you still are un- satisfied we pass the buck, and you can Leave it or not. And now in finishing, we say to those unfortunate brave souls whose names and deeds have been omitted from Leave It or Not, that you have Scripley ' s per- mission to write them in.
