LEE B. TEDFORD. B. A. History Fremont College VIVIAN RHODES M usic U. of Wis. A Faculty Meeting On Tuesday night the Faculty met in Room I. Everybody was there promptly at four o'clock. Mr. Lewis was acting chairman, but he had very little to say. It seemed that everybody wanted to speak at one time. Miss Leavitt was the first one to make herself heard, which was easily accomplished. She arose in front of the gathering, completely ignoring Robert's Rules of Order and began her plea. For at least an hour she handed them a line, which could only be equaled by Daniel Webster or Billy Sunday. In words that penetrated to the utmost depths of one’s feeling and cut like a butcher knife, she commenced her speech. For two long years I have labored in that stifling hole, where the windows are like rat holes, and the sun is unable to enter. It is so far away from the furnace that if I were to wait until heat reached it, I would starve to death. Then when the other rooms in the new addition were available I was given a cool reception in the form of that barn I have flow. It is so large that the Republican Convention could easily have been held there. The lights are so dim that if I light a candle it seems like the the White Way in New York. I want a new room that a person can sit in without being forced to wear wool socks, mittens, and sheepskins. When she had finished every one present and those in the radius of a mile heard a long and satisfied sigh. The next to address the meeting was Miss Swancutt. “I haven't much to say, but what I have got to say is this. I would like to have all boys, who cannot behave while in the library, put on the poor citizen list. First Everette Murphy will come in whistling and then slam his books down as though he were the prohibition director himself. After the racket has subsided a little, Lee O’Brien will step in. From then on it is impossible for a person to study. I would like to see some effective punishment meted out to such boys.” After Miss Swancutt had concluded her little declamation it was nearly six o'clock so the meeting was adjourned. Many were disappointed for it would be a whole week before they would have an opportunity to air their troubles. Taken from Larry Reuland's imagination. Page Fourteen
