Excerpt from editorial in issue 3

"It astonished everyone that the first issue was such a great success. We sold everything that we printed and the momentum given us by our first success led us to printing out another issue on the next Monday.
This issue came out on Monday and on Tuesday we were notified that since we were selling it on campus we were in trouble."

Our motto

IF ANYTHING IN THE WAGGERY DOES NOT AMUSE YOU,
IT IS BECAUSE YOU HAVE NOT UNDERSTOOD IT!

So, we were an underground publication without even knowing it! We meant no harm.
But we got in trouble because we didn't know any better.

Rules and regulations
at least they didn't torture us
