LAMPY PLAYS HOST NEXT MONTH TO COLLEGE COMICS

PROGRAM PLANNED TO COMBINE BUSINESS AND PLEASURE

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Jokemakers from nearly every college in the country will crack their jokes in concert next month when the 15 members of the Association of College Comics of the East hold their annual convention in the building of the Lampoon on Saturday and Sunday, December 13 and 14.

The five papers represented on the executive committee which is directing the convention are the Lampoon, the Cornell Widow, the Dartmouth Jack-o-Lantern, the Princeton Tiger, and the Voo Doo of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

The remaining ten college comics which will send delegates to Harvard next months are the Black and Blue Jay from Johns Hopkins, the Brown Jug, the Chanticleer from Rutgers, the Columbia Jester, the Lehigh Burr, the Penn Punch Bowl, the Pitt Panther, from the University of Pittsburgh, the Carnegie Tech Puppet, the Royal Gaboon of Carnegie Tech, and the Yale Record.

Tentative Program Arranged

The tentative schedule which has been arranged for the convention by Merrill Garcelon '25, business manager of the Lampoon, includes a number of meetings, dinners and general celebrations which will combine both business and pleasure for the humorous editors to as great a degree as possible.

The program for the morning of Saturday includes a business meeting, followed by a luncheon in the Lampoon building which will be enlivened by a jazz band and speeches by prominent humorists and cartoonists. In the evening, the editors will gather again at a formal banquet, who which the executive committee has made liberal promise of "food, drink, and entertainment".

The Sabbath on December 14 will not check the festivities of the convening humorists, and the schedule for that day calls for a business meeting in the morning a lunch, at which the jazz band will again make its appearance, and a smoker in the afternoon at which entertainment will be furnished by prominent stage stars, whose identities are to be announced later.
