P.U.
  
     My father went to Cornell University about 1935.  One cheer went:
  
To hell with the U. of P.
P.U.!
  
   Maybe Cornell, like many other colleges, has a book of cheers?
   I don´t recall seeing P.U. before the turn of the century.  I do recall seeing it in some cartoons--maybe Billy DeBeck´s Barney Google and Snuffy Smith?

MEXICAN DRINKS (continued)
  
   The cafeteria at Monte Alban serves a Cocktail Donaji, which is Mezcal, grapefruit, pineapple, and orange juices.  It´s named after a native princess.
   A place in Veracruz (where I am now) serves a "submarino" (coca-cola, limon) and a "licuado" (pina, melon, papaya).
     
FWIW:  There´s a special November city council election in my district that it looks like I´ll miss.  I don´t know why I can´t register to send an e-mail absentee ballot...What´s a "real taco"? :)
