The. porch of the Co-op Club, desert-

Wisps of clouds whirled across the

Sinister shadows slunk across the

of evil sulked out of the dark.

lor weeks, they again had resumed
their’ diabolical - plotting and schem-
iMg: With outrage after outrage to
their -record, they had assembled to
•plan even more heinous and inhuman
atrocities.
Mumbled threats, whetting of knives
polishing of bombs, trimming of fuses,
and whispered schemes - occupied the
first: part of the meeting. As the
night wore on, the .desperadoes Waxed
more desperate. Plans were formu
lated to destroy entirely all the build
ings on the campus by pouring gal
lons. of acid on the structres.
They commenced their'depredations
by totally -destroying an old chicken
'coop in the rear of the Faculty Apart
ments. Only the lack, of u sufficient
supply of acid spared the Chapel build
ing last night. The fear is being voiced
that when-enough acid, is finally col
lected by the club, all that will reriiain
: >>f Mercer will be the campus.
Soldiers and- All
Professor Richardson is much up
set over, this crisis, an,d jealously
guards his precious supply of acid
night and day. Soldiers armed with
machine guns'have been stationed at
all entrances to the campus to fore-
stai lany attempt to smuggle.the fluid
into the school grounds.
Special detectives from Scotland
