Those Bean Throwers

Some of the law students have feit called upon to defend the actions of certain unlicked cubs amongst them that disgraced their department at the meeting to greet the legislature by throwing beans and small sacks of flour. They even claim to feel agrieved at the wholesome thrusts given them by the president in his subsequent remarks. The method of defense is this, "the lits threw beans at us on Washington's Birthday, and we were getting even with them." The facts were these: Some hoodlum unknown to the laws who was in the gallery on Washington's Birthday threw beans and a rubber down at the laws. The laws jumped to the conclu sion that said hoodlum must have been a lit- where is the lecturer on evidence- and consequently to get even with him some of their nutnber made greater hoodlums of themselves than their model. In justice to the law departinent it should be said that the element capable of such atrocities is a small one, and the prevailing sentiment is stro ng ly adverse to such beliavior.
