Freshmen and Upper-classmen will see ""ye olde editor"" whizzing around the campus ei-ther on a pogo stick or more likely crutches. While on vacation at Nags Head North Carolina, Lee climbed on a wrecked ship lying on the shore. Why she did, not even she knows, but at least she discovered the principle of falling objects or something. Lee swears the ghost of Black Beard (who once inhabited those parts) pushed her �-- maybe so. But the fact is she is now sta-tionary with a multiple fractured heel encased in twenty pounds of cast. Said cast, being of the very latest design sports four horns, two at the heel and two at the knee. The initiated known that these horns represent pins anchor-ing the bone and the wrought iron work in the heel. There is some question as to whether the Art Department would okay the de-sign from the esthetic view point and no question but that the Phys. Ed. Dept. will expire over losing a perfectly good patsy.
