SCampus Student Guidebook

“Willie the Wampusbird, a feathery fellow famous for his funnies, flits from his nest once a month to deposit his art and fine writing upon unsuspecting students. The aforementioned fine writing is in the form of a slick humor magazine, the Wampus.

The ante on each issue is an insignificant 25 cents. The staff says that its laugh provoking and sense stimulating effects makes the Wampus one of the best buys on campus, worth much more than the established price.”
