Whitman Girls Desert Dining Hall in Protest of Chile, Prune Whip Meal

"No prune whip,

No chile con carne!

Down with Agnes,

Down with Mabel!

Down with anything on the table!"

With this anthem on their lips, sung to the tune of "Three Blind Mice," 66 of 74 residents in Radcliffe's Whitman Hall marched to "The Campus Del." last night.

The immediate cause of the insurgency was Whitman's evening menu, which scheduled chili con carne and prune whip. Most of Whitman's residents, remembering their luncheon of "puppies delight" (a form of hash), decided to eat else-where.

The Campus Delicatessen on Massachusetts Avenue was host to the irate eaters. George, the proprietor, said he enjoyed feeding the girls.

"Agnes" and "Mabel" in the song are members of Whitman's culinary staff.

Eight girls remained behind at Whitman. They didn't eat chile con carne and prune whip after all, but got dry cereal.
