Yardlings Blame Union Beans for Stomach Trouble

Reports of an outbreak of internal upsets, which nervous Freshmen laid to Lima beans served in the Monday evening Union meal, dribbled in from the Yard last night, but Dr. Andrew W. Contratto, physician in the Department of Hygiene, declared that no stricken undergraduates had turned up at Stillman Infirmary.

Scattered returns, however, showed two score or more Yardlings confined to bedroom and bathroom. Dr. Contratto identified the condition as gastro enteritis and revealed that epidemics of this disease sweep periodically through girl's schools in the Hub area.

One Claverly resident, blaming a "raw" hash patty served in the Union on November 17, was bedded in Stillman the next day with "tremendous pressure" among other symptoms, and recovered the following day.

William C. Murphy 2L, secretary of the Union, discredited reports connecting the internal upsets with Union food and noted that, according to custom, samples of the meal had been preserved in a deep freeze unit for possible testing.
