Train Leaves 'Poon Station, Engineers Plot for New Ties

Charging that the Lampoon simply isn't arty enough," John P. C. Train '50, curator of the Bow Street Aviary, yesterday led a bloc of dissentient dilettantes out of the magazine's monthly policy meeting.

In a hastily scrawled two-word statement to the press, Train then announced that his splinter faction would found a new esoteric humor review embodying the most stimulating features of "Pic," the "National Geographic," "II Progress," and he program notes of the Boston Symphony.

The magazine has tentatively been titled "Lute and Flute."

"The schism has been long coming," Train said. "Many of us felt that the Lampon has been catering to the 'lower class' element in the College, and the issue came to a boil when the editors declined to publish a though provoking profile of Shirley May France."
