Target For Beer Bottles

TARGET FOR

BEER BOTTLES

--------------------

STATE UF BEN FRANKLIN HAS

BEEN TAKEN DOWN

--------------------

And it May Never Be Placed Back

Again - Nuisance to Fix

It Up

--------------------

The statue of old Ben Franklin,

placed on the campus as a memorial by

the class of '70, was taken down this

morning and it is a question whether or

not it will ever be put back again.

Said Secretary Wade: "The statue is

simply a target for beer bottles. We fix

it up, paint it up and in three or four

days it is all stove in again. It has got

to be a regular nuisance."

"Will it be placed back on the pedes-

tal again?"

"I don't know. There was some talk

a while ago of keeping it out of sight.

I don't know what we will do with it

now. "
