Show University Of Illinois Reveals Cow Grads Champaign, 111. '(CPS) Allegations Al-legations that the University of Illinois is a "cow college" were apparently substantiated recently when it was learned that the Alumni Association in 1963 listed list-ed 1,223 dairy cows as graduates of the university. NAMES SUCH as "Daisy," "Bessie" and Nellie" were included in-cluded on the computer-prepared mailing lists that the Alumn. Association uses to send dues notices, Alumni Association newspapers, and other information informa-tion to its members. An official of the Statistical Service unit at the university explained that the records of the Dairy Herd Improvement Assoc iation became mixed in with the Alumni Association records in March 1963. THE COMPUTER, in a glor ious burst of individuality, prepared pre-pared a mailing list with "Elsie," "Flossie," "Gertrude," and 1,220 of their bovine friends designated designat-ed as university grads. The Cattleman's Association could not be reached for comment, com-ment, although it is rumored that they suspect the cows are unsuspecting victims of a plot by an unhappy Illinois dropout. THE ALUMNI Association is said to be withholding comment until they can decide who are the cows and who are the grads. |
