[Ads-l] _co-ed_: obsolete?

[Wilson Gray]

Narrator providing background WRT UC Santa Cruz and Cabrillo College:

"The female students are called 'co-eds'."

Well, of course. Everybody knows that "Betty Co-ed has lips of red for
Harvard," even though, during the years in which the relevant song was
popular, there were no co-eds at Harvard.

All say, "How hard it is that we have to die!"---a strange complaint to
come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
