Little Or No Emotion

One goodnight kiss, as brief as possible, involving the display of "little or no emotion," is reportedly the order of the day for co-eds who live in a dormitory at Purdue University.

This order shows an admirable concern for the behavior of the young ladies. It strives, as we suppose a university should strive, to keep education within the bounds of the stated curriculum.

Enforcing this particular regulation, however, is going to present difficulties.
