"Hello Sucker! Pin back your ears and get a load of the next week's news: Sex, murder, sin, off and on will make you grab those straps on the 8:20 subway tighter and tighter. We aim to thrill, flatter, and admire, so cluster around with the money wide, high, and handsome."
In the spring a young man's fancy...and so forth, while the college newspaper turns to the inevitable parody issue. It makes little difference what the occasion as long as the yellow, pink or green sheet gets off the press with the necessary expose of the college professor, the campus character and the appropriate chit chat that supports the "fun".
