PIGEON FLIES INTO UNION DURING SUPPERTIME RUSH

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Forty-three ounces of gray-streaked pigeon flesh flapped into the Union dining hall sun porch at 5:51 o'clock last night, terrifying dozens of Yardlings, who had been peacefully drinking their cream of spinach soup.

Zooming mysteriously from under a table in the main salon, the bird cooed ceiling-ward into the porch amid hysteric screams from several waitresses and roars of glee from the students. Apparently frightened by the cries of the napkin-bedecked eaters, the creature flapped helplessly about the ceiling.

Not more than two minutes elapsed before the Union staff regained composure and Supervisor J. Murray lost no time in summoning attendant Monty Irwin, who opened all the windows and doors and let the bird find his way back to freedom.

How the pigeon got in is unknown, but rumors were circulating that someone was planning to outdo the goldfish and white mice gulpers.
