Loyola Student Sleeps in Bed With Crocodile I Jack Grant, Sophomore, Finds Three Foot Alligator In Delta Phi Sig House It wasn't a nightmare — but i nevertheless Jack Grant, spirited Loyola sophomore woke up last night in the Delta Phi Sig house on Broadway with a three-foot crocodile in his bed. It all happened when his lint brother, Ed. Profllet, the star crew manager for tin- Curtis Publishing Company, gave several copies of a prominent weekly magazine in exchange for the lialiy crocodile and adopted the animal as nil pet. But crocodiles have a way of their own, and are reputed to shed bitter tears if they are o; posed. So rather than let the lady weep on Ilia shoulder, Ed allowed her the freedom of the house. The reeuli was that after trying all the beds in the place she found Jack's the softest of all. And so .lack woke up and quoted those classical lines, "Somebody's been sleeping in my i bed."

Collegiate Press Seethes With Editorial Comment, Harris Case (By College News Service) New York, April 21.—The college press of the nation this week seethed with editorials deploring the summary action taken against Reed Harris, former editor of the Columbia Daily Spectator, who was expelled because of a campus dining expose. Meanwhile, Attorney Raymond L. Wise of the American Civil Liberties Union was completing plans for a proposed $100,000 damage suit on behalf of Harris against the University. The suit, it is understood, would allege breach of contract. Following a fortnight of tunuiltous events, which included numerous near-riots, mass meetings and a student strike, the Columbia campus was again comparatively quiet this week, although protests against Harris' dismissal continued to pour in from every part of the country. Rumors were to the effect that Dean Herbert E. Hawkes and other administrative officers were privately of the opinion that the Former had committed a grave blunder in expelling the editor without a hearing, but the die having been cast, they were forced to maintain a solid front. Attorney Wise himself expressed the belief that President Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia had no foreknowledge of Dean Hawkes' plan to dismiss Harris, but was practicing administrative courtesy by leaving the matter in the dean's hands. The latter was expected to escape much of the criticism being heaped upon him by a scheduled trip to England, where he is soon to confer with Oxford and Cambridge authorities on graduate work for Columbia alumni. As the excitement on the campus gradually subsided. Spectator announced that Arthur .1. Lelyveld, formerly a member of the news board, would be Harris' successor.Coincidental with this announcement, Spectator's managing board published a front page editorial, demanding a student investigation of dining room conditions in John Jay Hivll—"in order to vindicate the principles for which Harris stood . . . ." It was a repitition of charges of improper management, high prices and poor food—charges made by a former editor last Spring—that caused Harris' dismissal. This action on the part of Harriii constituted "personal misconduct," Dean Ilawkes held. Surviving editors of Spectator declared that "Harris' only misdeed was to take the University at its word—to accept unquestioned it.- doctrine of free speech." Editors of The Campus at the College of the City of New York led the nationwide protest movement against Harris' expulsion. Over 2rDo protesting petitions were dispatched to college editors, who were asked to sign the documents C. B. S.
