THE CRIME

Leverett House was thrown into quite a bit of confusion last week when Horvey Allen was scheduled to speak in the Junior Common Room on Friday.

When his talk was scheduled, the House committee thought that everything would run off smoothly as usual but it was not to be. They deemed that this would be a good chance to get the author of "Anthony Adverse" which is still the country's best-seller, to autograph the House Library's copy, and it would also be a courteous gesture. But, is and beheld, there was no copy to be found. The thing went along for a while and the House Committee confidently fait that some generous member of the House would make the contribution.

Someone even coyly suggested on the bulletin board where the announcement of Mr. Allen's speech was posted, that a copy be bought. As the day of reckoning approached and no "Anthony Adverse" appeared, House Master Murdock began to be a bit concerned.

The fateful evening arrived and no book. There was only one thing to be done, and done quickly. It WAS done. Professor Murdock a curried to the nearest bookstore, purchased the volume and deposited it on the table in the Junior Common Room. When Mr. Allen appeared the book was there it was autographed, and nobody was a whit the wiser.
