"THE FOURTH"
Its Glory Is Celebrated at Men's Dorm to
Tune of Firecrackers

Day in All

"The Glorious Fourth," with the
trimmings of
old time
fire crackers and the like, was reported by students residing in the
men's dorm on Tuesday after a general survey of the situation had been
ipnde following the festivities on

Monday.
The celebration, a Kernel reporter
was informed, was somewhat delayed
but managed to get under good headway about 8 o'clock Monday night.
Starting with the pesky "pop" of a

the party assumed giant cracker proportions by midnight on the third
