The present Student Publica- tions Building, opened in 1932, was financed largely by The Daily's earnings.

Garg Staff Brings Wit To Campus The name of the University hu- mor magazine is Gargoyle. Every time Gargoyle is sold on campus it rains. Except on cer- tain beautiful warm days in the spring when it snows. The magazine got its start quite a few years ago when a couple of young men. They later went into Vaude- ville. They reigned in Vaudeville for quite a few years. Meanwhile, it was raining in Ann Arbor. Early in the nineteen twenties, a copy of Gargoyle so amused the rajah of Kawja that he neglected to go on his usual hunting trips. The game animals of Kawja took advantage of his absence to grow exceedingly populous and lay waste to the surrounding coun- tryside. The natives became so in- sensed at this that they forced their Gargoyle-loving ruler to abdicate. This was the first time in his. tory that reign was called on ac- count of game. Meanwhile, it was raining in Ann Arbor. NEW PRESS-The Daily's City Editor watches the morning run of the three-year-old press at The Student Publications Building.
