Mulholland. called "the world's finest magician" by expert and auaience, continued unnackinir his weird-looking apparatus for ms periormance last Vht in Memorial hall, as he answered questions about his life and profession.

It was explained . that wh pn visiting men students in town houses, the landlady must be homeand that drinking on the part of coeds is not sanctioned and will be held a violation of the campus code.
