NUMBER 23


TRACK SEASON OPENS AT McPHERSON COLLEGE WITH SEVERAL MEN REPORTING FOR PRACTICE


Bulldogs Are Unusually Strong in Weight Events but Are Lacking Badly in Several Other Things


Humiliations, Insults, hurt pride. and Inferiority feelings were all heaped upon the new W. A. A. members on the day of March IS when they were Initiated Into the Women’s Athletic Association. The first warn-that all was not as it should be was received on Tuesday when all new members received slips of paper Informing them that print dresses were to be worn backwards, one arm was to be carried In a sling, while the footgear for the following day was to consist of bedroom slippers and ank lets. Worst of all the would-be members were required to walk-backwards and food salted peanuts to all superior W. A. A. members. That was the program for the day. but at night the pledgee learned that the miseries of initiation has Just begun At exactly seven o’clock all the new members were required to assemble in the music room on the top floor of the Science Bunding. Blind-


NEW W. A. A. MEMBERS INITIATED • WITH HUMILIATING EXPERIENCES 


folded, each girl was led Into the secret room where she was humbled Into subservience by being required to kneel on the floor before the court of old members and taking a humiliating vow of allegiance. Then there came a gruelling hour of answering personal questions which the - old members relentlessly tired at them.

Still blindfolded each girl was taken through the agonies of electric shocks, jumping on tacks, and slippery hikes through sticky, slimy molasses. At last the blindfolds were removed but still the horrors ware not over, for each girl was forced to take a dose of good old olive oil. But finally the nervous strain was over and Maxine Ring. Ruth Tice. Lola Richwine, Agnes Bean, Clarice Evans. Alice Egbert. Cleora Follmer;. Esther Stegeman, Verna Mae Hevertson, and Lenore Johnson were elevated to the same high status as that enjoyed by the old members of the organization.

“IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST IS NEXT WEEK

Interesting Characters To Be Presented By Members of Thespian Club

Gay repartee and quick retorts characterize the Thespian farce-com-edy. "The Importance of Being Earnest" by Oscar Wilde, which is to be given In the college chapel Thursday and Friday. March 30 and 31. This well-known play by the author of "Lady Windermere's Fan" is often used In the study of the development of the drama.

Two sophisticated men play the most Important roles. John Worth-ng Is played by Donald Evans. "My name is Ernest In town and Jack In the country.” "It Is a terrible thing for a man to find out suddenly that all his life he has been speaking nothing but the truth.” The other gay young man of society is Algernon Moncrieff played by Fred Nace. "The very essence of romance is uncertainty. If ever I get married. I'll certainly try to forget the fact. . . . The only way to behave to a woman is to make love to her If she Is pretty, and to someone else If she is plain."

The parts of the girls who play opposite them are taken by Una Ring as Gwendolen Fairfax and Edith Bechtelheimer as Cecily Cardew. The vi-vacious Miss Fairfax says that her Ideal has always been to love some-one by the name of Ernest." "Men often propose for practice. I know my brother Gerald does. All my girl friends toll me so.” The naive Cecily tells her young man frankly. "I hope you have not been leading a double life, pretending to be wicked and being really good all the time. That would bo hypocrisy.”

Marjorie Brown ably plays the role of the formidable Lady Bracknell Gwendolen's mother. As she says "Thirty-five is a very attractive age. London society is full of women of the very highest birth who have, of their own free choice, remained thirty-five for years."

Hobart Hughey is Lane, the man-(Continued on Page Four)

Wed.. Mar. 32—Education film in chapel.

Fri., Mar. 24—Four one-act plays presented In chapel at 7:30 by dramatic art class.

Sun.. Mar. 25—Local peace oratorical contest in college church at 7:30 o'clock.    

DRAMATIC STUDENTS WILL PRESENT PLAYS

To Be Given in College Chapel at 7:30 o'clock Friday evening

ALL ARE CHARACTER ROLES

Student Council to Serve Coffee Between Plays—Admission 10 and 15 cents

The dramatic art class will present throe one-act plays on Friday evening In the college chapel at 7:30 o'clock. Although they are student coached they are all under the direction of Miss Della Lehman.

'•Moonshine'’ will not be given as was planned, but will be presented Monday. April 3. along with a fine arts recital.

Almost every player portrays a character role greatly different from himself. For Instance. Is It easy to picture Melvin Landes keeping files brushed off the baby? Or Agues Bean as his twin? There is also the fair Clarice Evans as a gaunt and awkward mountaineer their mother. Florence Dresher Is easire to imagine as an aristocratic northerner. All of them appear in "Pink and Patches" which Is being directed by Una Ring.

Alex Richards is no longer Alex Richards when he appears as a be-draggled. yet Industrious, old farmer with a scrubby beard. Genevieve Crist Is his stolid wife. Blanch Harris Is unusual as a saturnine half-breed who goes A. W. O. L. whenever he smells lilacs In the breeze. Bernice Fowler's role of a frail girl from the city Is slightly more In keeping with her own personality. Raymond Dunkirk Is an unimaginative farmer lad. who fails to understand the dreams of his fiance. These make up the cast of "The Chinese Water Wheel" which Is coached by Blanch Harris.

Marjorie Brown is directing the production. "Blackberryin'." In which she also plays, but can you imagine  her talking of men as sheepstock?

Odessa Crist really looks picturesque In her pink sun bonnet, but a different adjective would be applied to | Leta Wine, a bobbing, snoopy, old  lady. Corinne Stuer may be a col- lege student In the daytime, but on Friday night she will be a somewhat decrepit old lady with a sharp eye. Mary Miller becomes a loud-voiced overpowering head of the berry-pickers.

The student council will probably serve coffee In the Y. W. room he-

ween plays. Only .10 cents will be charged for all students. Including high school and grades, and 15 cents for outsiders.

ELECT BRADSHAW PRESIDENT

World Service Group Chooses Officers at Meeting

At a recent meeting of the World Service Group, new officers wore elected after which' Prof. J. Hugh Heckman reviewed a chapter from the layman's report on "Rethinking Missions.”

Delvis Bradshaw was chosen as the new president; Jo Wagoner, vice president; Clarence Sink, secretary: and Martha Andes, treasurer.

ANNUAL W. A. A. BANQUET IS GREATLY ENJOYED

St. Patrick’s Motif Carried Out —Genevieve Crist Is Toastmaster

St. Patrick wove his spell when the girls of the W. A. A. entertained their boy friends In a "wee bit of heaven fallen to earth,” at the Brethren Church parlors. Thirty couples gathered around the five appropriately decorated tables to enjoy the five course banquet which Included such delicacies as Irish delight, Bridget's special. Emerald Isle, and mineog.

Myriads of Irish jokes began circulating about amid the shamrocks, tall green candles, and flowers.

The item that headed the list of program events was "Shillalah Whacker” by Genevieve Crist, toastmaster for the evening. This turned out to be a brief statement of the purpose of the organisation, and a few jokes Introducing Loren Hock, president of the M Club, as the next speaker. "Toime Out” was granted Rock, presumably for the purpose of taking a deep breath. Loren, allas Pat. gave "Pat's View of It," "It" meaning the W. A. A. Clarice Evans and Chris Johansen granted a "Bit of a Chune" on a pair of violins. Ruth Tice's talk. "Treadln' the Wheel.” was a review of all the humiliating. undignified experiences prospective members were obliged to endure before being allowed to Join the club. Maxine Ring's "Ripples from Ireland" were two Irish dialect readings.

Genevieve at tills point apparently became fearful that her abundant supply of Jokes was going to give out before enough fun and merriment had been provided, and so she called on the boys for Irish Jokes. Hero the "Irish Fun" began and resulted In the judges, Coach and Mrs. Binford. awarding the first prize to Clarence Sink and booby prize to Charles Austin on their Jokes.

"Colleen's Farewell” by Esther Brown, was the farewell speech of the senior girls who will become associate members after, graduation. The last event, group singing, wax dubbed "Killarney and Tipperary" on the programs, and was led by Ruth Ihde and Lois Edwards.

The first letters of each number on the program spell St. Patrick.

Those who served were Lois Lackey. Guy Hayes. Faithe Ketterman, Milton Early. Ann Heckman, and Warner Nettleton.

GRADUATION AFFAIRS ARE

PLANNED IN CLASS MEETING

Arrangements were made for ordering their caps and gowns and com mencement Invitations by the seniors In a class meeting held Friday morn ing. March 17.

Maxine Ring gave the Introduction of Henry C. Haskell. International News Editor of the Kansas City Star, who gave the main address at the banquet Friday evening. He spoke on the subject. "Some Economic Problems Facing the Incoming Administration."

NEW "Y” CABINETS BEGIN RESPONSIBILITIES

_ The Y. W. and Y. M. cabinet members for the following year have been elected and duly installed. The ones who hare Just completed their year of helpfullness to the college served faithfully and wall; the ones who took their office a little over a week ago should do just as well or better, for they have the example of those who have gone before. They know what ideas may be continued and what errors are to be avoided.

But no group of officers or set of leaders can carry out an efficient successful program through the year without the co-opperation of those who are supposed to help them, and the Y cabinets arc no exception. The thing for each student to do Is to stand back of his organization, both now and in the future. At the first of next year he will be told of various commit tees on which he may choose to work. He should not adopt a plan of work on one of these committees without serious thought: first, of how he could best help the organization; and second, of how the organization would be of most aid to him.

Choosing the committee, however. Is only the beginning. Get In and work. The student should not be afraid to tell the chairman of Ideas that he may have, and he should not be afraid he has too many other things on his mind when the chairman asks him for assistance. A little helpfulness never hurt anyone seriously, and has, really encouraged a number of persons who would otherwise be discouraged about life In general.

. Finally, attend the meetings. The cabinet members will then do their best to make the organization interesting and worth while for everyone on the campus: and anything that is worth while on the campus Is sure to be worth while elsewhere. .

Just as we expect more, from ministers because they are ministers: so we expect more from cabinet members because they are cabinet members; why not expect more from the average member of the organization because be is a member of such an organization? make the work of the Y. M. and the Y. W. felt In the life of the campus; not only on Tuesday mornings at the regular meetings, but also on every other day.—A Y. W Member.


Ellen Steinberg spent the weekend at her home near Lorraine.

. Gordon Kraus and Harry Frantz spent Saturday and Sunday at the former’s home In Tampa.

Esther Brown. Ruth Hobart, and Mildred Pray spent Saturday In Hutchinson shopping.


On Saturday evening Mrs. Emmert, her daughter, Mrs. Stone, and Prof, and Mrs. Voran dined with Or. and Mrs. Schwalm.


Genevieve Crist and Martha Hursh spent the week-end with Hope Nickel at her home in Wichita.

On Friday evening Miss Della Lehman went to Wichita to see some Little Theater plays.

THE STUDENT AND HIS READING

Pages and pages, volumes upon volumes. There is no end to the length of reading assignments In the library. Far back ip the stacks the librarians dig out copies this treatise and that review to place on reserve The conscientious student is so completely swamped in required work that he doesn't have time to. read those things which are really of beneficial Interest to him. It seem useless to spend so much time reading things which will he remembered only for a short, time.

The immediate value of reading so extensively on subjects which are not concomitant to the student's major interest may assume a pseudo-worthlessness when compared to reading on subjects of primary importance. Some consolation may be bad from Professor R. D. O'Leary's statement last week that regardless of the fact that no person will ever remember half of what he has read, be will have benefit ted by reading It.

Professor O’Leary understands the student's reading problem and bas given many students In his classes an opportunity to acquaint themselves with the library facilities by his system of "browsing". The compulsion that so often accompanies any required work. Is done away with, and the student reads not to cover pages but to gain what be can from the material.

It is reading with this attitude of mind that is of supreme benefit to the student, and other courses might benefit if the assignments worn not based on the number of pages but on mastery of material.—University Daily Kansan.


Say, I’ve a funny feeling or hunch we have a magician on our campus. At least It seems like someone’s playing card tricks! Here I go and "plank" down a nice big "Joker" of a feature story to the editor about our lovely spring lover, when along comas Mister Weatherman and drops a big "Ace"—of cold winter—upon my "play". What in the "deuce" can one do in that case but play another card for the next "trick". Henceforth it means another feature story so here I "play my cards":

I had just sat down at my campus table, when I found I had to "make Six Books’’ with two extras added to make the "score’’ In my Child Psychology lesson.

1 decided to be a '’Dummy" In the next "deal", so I sat on and watched Five Hearts" pour out to us their knowledge learned at William Jewell and songs they sang while passing over "Bridges" on the way. Later I saw "Four Clubs” dropped down upon this card for higher "Honors"



OUT-GOING CABINET

ENTERTAINS FOR NEW


Old Members Give Symbols to Their Successors

The out-going Y. W. C. A. cabinet gave a luncheon Monday evening in the "Y” room In honor of the now cabinet. After the luncheon each member of the old cabinet formally gave over her duties of office to her successor on the new cabinet. To each new member was given some symbol of office, a description of her duties, and the well wishes of the out-going member.

Gulah Hoover, accompanied by Bernice Dresher, sang "Be the Best of Whatever You Are".

Marlene Dappen, former social chairman, and her committee were in charge of the luncheon.


THE STUDENT IN PUBLIC AFFAIRS

In time of stress In public affairs and when confusion reigns on ovary hand, even the student in hit secluded place of life It affected. It would be Impossible for the student to take an indifferent attitude toward the outside world even In his narrowed work. The serious student Is aware of the world's problems and is conscious of bis duty to find a solution. These solutions, however, seldom reach a stage of maturity above theory.

From Oklahoma University comes the report that a "Indent is running for mayor In his city. Even though be fails in election this Incident portrays the attitude of some of our fellow students. Their attitude is not indifferent and many are taking an aggresive step toward, the formation of public policies and the solution of many of our country’s difficulties.

The vital need of our nation Is that the student of public affairs may Inject a spirit of vigor and Idealism Into public policies.


IN LOVE WITH THE DAY

If there Is anything that delights one it is to meet a human being who is so In love with the day that be fairly exults In mere existence, delights to be alive

If we are In love with the day we will get infinitely more out of it than If we drag ourselves through It. and regard our living-getting as a disagreeable necessity.

Many people mm to find no joy In anything. They spend their time fretting, whining, compaining, and frowns are seen always on their faces, looking as if life had not produced what they most desired. Such people carry gloom with them and cloud the day for all who cope into their presence.

Give us the man who is In love with the day. who sees in It a chance to make good, an opportunity for delightful experiences, for glorious service! Think of the possibilities of a day for doing good, for scattering sunshine, for helping others for giving the weaker a lift!

There is no greater joy or satisfaction than that which, comes from helping others day by day, as we go through life, giving a lift to those who are down; a bit of encouragement to those who are disheartened, cheering on those who are lagging behind. The possibilities of love had service in a single day are beyond all computation.

The "King" and "Queen” of the Y "Clubs” were thrown Into the pile” and proved to be "High" at another "round".

I understand the "Jack of Hearts’ has been up to mischief in the Queen of Hearts" kitchen. We wonder if he stole any "Diamonds”?

Signs of Spring have set Forney busy with his "Spades". Do you suppose the "Ace of Clubs" (Student Council) will make It a "Point" for us to have the "Honors” of helping Forney make a "clean sweep" of the college? And why not "Bid" to "Double" the holiday so we will get more time to "play”. Or will the faculty "Trump" It?

One "Ace” (Professor) made a "grand slam” In chapel and told us to grow up. We wonder if he meant to have the "Jacks" and "Queens” "draw” up a "Partner" "Contract” and go on a "Honeymoon”!    j

C. DOUGLAS BOOTH

BOYS CONTINUE VIEW OF WILLIAM JEWELL

Charles Douglas Booth Is Featured Speaker of Conference

Friday morning Charles Austin, Lester Pote. Delvis Bradshaw, and Guy Hayes, who were the boys that attended the International Conference at William Jewell College, Liberty. Missouri, gave brief reports on their view of the convention.

Charles Austin, the first speaker on the program, gave a brief description and survey of the appearance and Ideas of Yukio Kato. a Japanese student now studying at Wichita University. Wichita. Kansas. Mr. Kato was formerly a member or the International Relations Club at Waseda University, Tokyo. Japanese action In Manchuria was strongly upheld by Mr. Kato In the Sino-Japanese round table discussion.

Lester Pote, in his talk introduced to the student assembly the general characteristics and achievements of Charles Douglas Booth, the featured speaker of the conference. Delvis Bradshaw, summarized Mr. Booth’s Friday luncheon address which was entitled. "The British Foreign Policy." and Guy Hayes concluded the program by reviewing Mr. Booth’s Saturday luncheon speech: the subjects of which was "Economic Nationalism In Europe."    \


In one state teachers college, the following plan has been tried. Campus clubs will compete with each other to see which one can return the most books. The one returning the largest number will receive a cash prize of $10 and the club returning the next largest a IS reward. Other clubs will be given five cents apiece for each book brought in.

Eight men and women are kept busy throughout the school year repairing more than 1,000 books at the University of Minnesota bindery.


The fallow who said that the average woman’s vocabulary is limited to about 600 words, certainly has never dented a fender for one of them.

.Between two    distinguished so little    that

they choose them both. Just to be sure that they have chosen the least.'


JUNIORS HAVE MEETING

The Junior class held a meeting early Friday morning to discuss the possibility of having n Junior-senior banquet.

It was voted to hold n banquet this spring and President Guy Hayes appointed Mary Miller head of the committee in charge of the banquet la general. Gulah Hoover was made chairman of the program committee.

The treasurer made a report of the dues which have been paid.



Proof is Offered That McPherson College Campus Is Stricken with Spring Fewer

After sixteen hours of stretching and pulling my imagination and tossing end whirling my gray matter about. I feel as if I were on a plateau of my learning plain; that is, I'm ready to end it all and jump off sucha precipice— But yet. Just as I feel this impulse forcing me to do much a cowardly act. the radio throws forth the new little tune. "Love is A Dream" What do I think of? Three things and SPRING FEVER is all three of them. Yes, I believe that is the "life save" for me and I'm to catch the disease to see what life has In store for me    .—

This thing called "Spring Fever"

I understand is very catching and my object Is to prove that the Mc-

Pherson College campus is soon to he quarantined with this quickly-get-ting-aickneas.

Let us Imagine we are studying— say—geometry, or some kind of mathematics where they prove theorems to professors. Today then, for our lesson, we'll hand to Prof. Bowman our Theorem on Spring Fever:

Given: First, an approximate number of "romantic cases"; second. the rectangular tennis courts with the Fatars"; third, the circular track grounds with track men: fourth, the strollers who go for triangular, circular. etc., walks; and lastly, the miscellaneous curves and lines as lack of study, causes of sleepiness; etc.

To prove; That Spring Fever is catching at M. C.

Proof: (1) The approximate number of "cases” at M. C. proves that several students are "parallels”, oval least they think so. Of course? signs of these "cases" have appeared all winter, but spring produces the most evidence of romances. 'Tis true every season has Its romances, but tis. Spring that’s fresh and new— therefore, the signs thrown forth by our college cases prove some students are getting the spring fever.

(2) Rectangular tennis courts are flooded by popular players—tennis Is the racket!—Yes. the "stars” are at St and here's hoping the fever sticks until our "collegiates" win the tournament. This mobbing of the courts gives proof of Spring fever, too.—What say?

(3) The circular track grounds are being "warmed up" nowadays. Daily we see some follow running three turns about the track and oh—-the exercise and training surely proves that the coach and track men are feeling signs of spring In their hones.

(4) Often on these sunny days we see students strolling—the walks sometimes form a square (a block), sometimes a rectangle (two square blocks), sometimes a circle (around the flagpole), and even sometimes these strollers prove that a straight line is the shortest curve (to town from campus). And, doesn’t this suggest that students want the fresh spring air in their lungs?

Lastly, we have various lines and curves mixed in to show our signs that spring Is here. Students often neglect to study, some sleep, some day dream, some dream at night, some signs of different wearing apparel are in evidence, etc.—these things all cluster about the fact that students are aware of the fact that spring Is here.

Therefore, we have proved to all professors, teachers, students, and to whom it may concern, that Spring Fever is certainly catching at M. C.

I’ve now finished my feature story, and I’m glad I didn't jump off the precipice.—Reasons?—sure. I'm off for a good time with— Yeah, I guess I've caught the Spring Fever already! Toodle-doo.


LEARN NEW EXCUSES FOR REFUSING DATES

Boys Give Various Answers to Girls When. Invited to Banquet

o

Well, the W. A. A. Banquet Is over and wasn't It fun—and wasn’t it distracting and hair tearing. I tell you I am glad that I am a girl, 'cause If I were a boy I would be a thousand wrecks already—that is. If I had asked for a thousand dates. Agonizing over who to take; standing In the Ad building for an hour waiting for a certain boy to pass, then be rushes by without even looking my way; going to the library each hour of the day to see who. is there; calling 72 on the telephone, then trying to look innocent when girls get Inquisitive— these are Just some of the trials preceding a W. A. A. banquet.

Anyway I know some new "excuses" now. besides the old trusty, "I have to study". Anything from a corn on the toe to an earthquake In California is legitimate. Girls, list


QUIPS AND QUIBBLES



all or 'em you have heard in the last two weeks and try ’em out on the boys—they'll be amazed at your originality.

Anyway, by the time you have persuaded someone that he is lucky to get the chance to go with you. you will probably forget all about that new "formal” that you intended to buy and at the last minute will have to rush madly around to borrow one. By that time It is too late to polish your finger nails, and Just as you start to put on a stocking the bell starts to jingle from down stairs and you hysterically catch your ring In your stocking—a big runner! The bell rings again. Grab a necklace— that green one will do—may not look so good, but this Is St. Patrick’s. The bell rings frantically! Grab your hat and coat. You’re off! Have a good time!

Oh boy. the fun Is worth all the trials and tribulations.

LIBRARY GETS BOOKS

Three new books came to the library last Saturday morning. One Is "Difficulties In Religious Thinking” by Lankard. It contains clear discussions of real religious questions.

Another Is volume I of "History of the George Washington Bicentennial Celebration." The first part is the complete story of Washington's life told in episodes, taken from trustworthy sources. "The George Washington Atlas." "Highlights of the Writings of George Washington." "George Washington Play and Pageant Costume Book." and "George Washington Plays" are other parts of the book. It is a gift to the library from the Bicentennial Commission.

The third book is "The Rise of the City" by Schlesinger. It Is the tenth volume of "A History of American Life."

LINGENFELTER'S SMALL PUPILS GIVE RECITAL

Last Monday evening in the college chapel a piano recital was given by twenty-one students, eighteen of whom are students of Miss Lingenfelter. Miss Brown teaches the other three. In ages, the children ranged from about five to thirteen. One had taken lessons only seven weeks. The recital was very successful.

Spectator :

A young gentleman who attended the regional tournament last week found himself In a very—to say the least—embarrassing situation. He had eaten an eskimo pie and then pulled out his handkerchief to wipe his mouth. Then he reached back and began to cram his handkerchief into his pocket. He stuffed and stuffed. Suddenly a rosy hue arose about his ears, as he turned and said to the woman sitting-on the bench behind him, "Oh. pardon me!" with deep Inflection In each word. He finally explained that he had somehow been trying to take the lady's dress by putting It In his pocket. He had thought that the handkerchief seemed yards long.

Everyone seems to get busier every day even though they all think they can't possibly get any busier than they are already. The other evening Lilburn Gottmann was trying to find a room In which to do a little practicing on his oration. In the chapel an educational picture was being shown; In Miss Lehman's room, the Thespian play practice was In progress; In Prof. Blair's room Another dramatic group was practicing lines; downstairs in Hess's room someone was declaiming another oration.

Maybe Lily (short for Lilburn. only we've never heard it) gave up In despair. At least he seems to go around In a trance. Maybe it's the weight of the oration upon his mighty brain. Or possibly it's the weather.—-Or maybe something else.

The principles of interpretation classes had Just finished studying Poe's poem "The. Bells". Announcing that Tuesday was to be the last session on this literary work. Miss Lehman said "We'll drop 'The Bell*' now". ,We wonder that their clamor and tolling didn't arouse the whole school.

Professors are absent-minded—especially Dr. Schwalm. Yesterday at 9:30 he told his English Lit. class that he had to leave because he had made an appointment with his dentist. forgetting that he had a class at that hour.

Wednesday was W. A. A. initiation day. Among other tortures, the Initiates had to carry a sack of salted peanuts around and give some to every senior member of the organization. Maxine Ring had peanuts about a year old; Clarice Evans had epsom salts in here; and Agnes Bean mixed climalene in with her peanuts. Really worse for the members of the club than for the Initiates!

Maybe It Isn't spring yet. but the number playing tennis daily, the lovers strolling around, and a general let-up on studies are all evidences of the approach of this season.

In keeping with St. Patrick's Day some few freshman girls ventured forth In their green berets which they wore at the beginning of the year to show their classification.

The dorm girls of William Jewell College drew up a petition for later hours, the privilege of their boy friends coming In the dorm parlors on week-end nights, the privilege to have dates to all school activities, and other matters and presented It to a board made up of faculty members. The committee passed all the requested desires. Initiative, eh what?

A member of one of the numerous play-casts came to practice last night barefooted In his shoes. When someone remarked about it, he looked-er-rather odd and Mid that he took a bath, slipped on his shoes, and evidently forgot his socks. Maybe it’s just an old Spanish custom—or possibly a new collegiate fashion.

As Larsen came out of the library yesterday he called out to Wine, "Tuffy! Hey Tuffy!” A little girl who was skating on the campus said to him that he must be a kitty because she had a cat named Tuffy. Quite catty, eh?

When Kraus and Harry Frantz came back from Tampa Sunday after noon In Harry’s open Ford they almost froze their physiognomies When they finally reached their des-tination they took practically all the hot water in the boys' dorm. Although a top might have kept off a little of the blizzard wind. Harry. said that it would have, made It impossible for them to move. They were happy to maintain a stationary position at times and not be blown backwards.

We hear that the boys are getting unusual odors on the spring breeze for the woodwork department below has been using unusually strong varnish—or maybe It’s paint.

Carrots seem to be springing up. No the garden hasn’t sprouted yet. but we understand that the vegetables have been tossed about recently at the dinner table. Is this what Emily prescribes.

And the boys had to leave the table so. that the W. A. A. initiates could talk without breaking their rule of silence in masculine presence? We never before heard of men making women tongue-tied.

TRAVEL A LITTLE IS

ADVICE GIVEN TO ALL

There Is no frigate like a book To take us lands away.

Nor any coursers like a page Of prancing poetry.

This traverse may the poorest take Without oppress of toll;

How frugal is the chariot That bears a human soul.

Emily Dickinson.—A Book.

"The Little World" by Stella Benson Is a collection of articles and sketches which have been reprinted from newspapers and magazines. An excerpt of a review given by the American Library Association says that It is “a travel record of unwonted freshness, telling of journeys In America. Japan. China, and India." The Illustrations are all very quaint.

For one who likes to read only fiction. "Outre Mer” by Longfellow might be recommended. It was In-tended by the author to tell of the richly picturesque traditions of old Europe. For this reason the travel element overshadows the romance of the book. Those who do not care to go so far afield will enjoy "A Stepdaughter of the Prairie" by Margaret Lynn, which will give a greater appreciation of Kansan. Here also, the vividness of the description overshadows the story.

Although it is a hook for children, any college student will enjoy V. M. Hillyer’s "Child's Geography of the World." It really Is as entertaining as fiction, and the numerous sketches which illustrate It are fascinating. It is certain that many of us would

The University Players at Wichita U are going to repeat performances of "Saturday's Children" and "The First Mrs. Frazer." A sliver offering will be taken in place of charging for admittance.

have enjoyed our grade school geography much more if we could, have used Mr. Hillyer's work as a text book.

“Across Mongolian Plains". by Roy Chapman Andrews Is a "naturalist's account of China's great northwest." It is the narrative of the travels of Mr. and Mrs. Andrews through Mongolia and North China, and is written entirely from the sportsman’s standpoint, the author having purposely avoided uninteresting and wearisome scientific details. The illustrations given are photographs taken by Mrs. Andrews.

No one wants to quit traveling until he has had a little excitement; we’ll gain ours from the "Book of Real Adventures" by Charles J. Finger. There is only one story which the author thinks Is untrue, but read them and decide for yourself.

We can bo sure that the student who rends any or all of these books will enjoy his trip; and It In to be hoped he takes many more journeys In the same way.—Bookworm.

A passenger on the Limited, looking under his berth In the morning, found one black shoe and one tan. He called the porter's attention to the error.

The porter scratched his head in bewilderment.

"Well, If dat don’t beat all,” he said. "Dat's de second time dis mawnin' dat mistake's done happened."

"Why so sad, Joe?"

'Oh, I just heard a good recipe for home brew, and I haven't got a home."

Johansen’s Yellow Jackets Cap. ture B Championship


CHOOSE LEAGUE TEAM IN INTRA-MURAL GAMES

Custer, Replogle, Weddle, Min-ear, and Kraut Make First Team

All-League Teams, Class A First team—

Forwards: Custer and R. Replogle. Center: Weddle Guards: Minear and Kraus Second Team—

Forwards: Gottmann and H. Replogle

Center: Bowman Guards: Wine and Austin Honorable mention: Brubaker and Lytle.

The final came of the Class A league of the intra-mural was played early this week and then attention was given to the picking of an all-league team.

Like any all-league team the above will probably not suit every Individual. but this will be considered as official.

Coach Binford had charge of the selections and the final choices were based on a point proposition, (roach Binford and some of the coaches of the various teams plus some varsity squad members all picked teams and two points were giving for a first team vote and one for second with the five receiving the most points placing on the first five.

The forward positions went to Ralph Replogle and Custer. Replogle was probably the class of the league having played considerably with the varsity. He was a unanimous selection. Custer was a high scorer and Is s good ball rustler In spite of his small stature.

Weddle scored well and his defensive play has Improved considerably since early season.

Minear was a unanimous choice for a guard position and was also high scorer of the league. Kraus was the other choice for a guard position. Although he played much of the time at forward, he is placed at guard on the all-league five.

The second team Is largely a repetition of the first and In some Instances the men could probably bo used interchangeably.

All-League Teams, Class B First team—

Forwards: Landes and Williams Center: Whitcher Guards: Pote-and Buskirk Second team—

Forwards: E. Sweetland and Booz Center: Brammell Guards: Suttle and Johansen Honorable mention: Evans and Fasnacht.

With the aid of varsity squad men Coach Binford has picked an all-league team from the Class B teams. This was handled on a point basis, the same as the Class A selections were made.

Landes besides being a unanimous choice for a forward position, was high scorer for the league. He was the scoring are against all opposition. Williams was given the other forward position, He is tall and has a pretty good basket eye.

Whitcher, was a unanimous choice for the center position which proved his popularity for the position. He was second high scores of the league. Pote. who was placed center on the  championship quintet was given a unanimous vote, but was shifted to a guard position. He Is tall and also scored well.

Buskirk. a tall man, who also played with the championship team is given the other guard position. He was probably the best defensive guard in the league.

Three of the first all-league five were picked from the championship team and the other two played with the team that finished second.

In some cases the voting was close between first and second team selections, but probably the first team Is a little more aggressive.

W. A. A. GIRLS CLOSE BASKETBALL SEASON

Tice, Carlson, Pote, Stegeman, Crist, and Hawkins Make Varsity Team

In order for a girl to be eligible to play In the tournament she must be present at three-fourths of the practices held by her team during the five weeks of practice. The manager of the basketball schedule, Martha Hursh, made the ruling that three tardies to practice would be equivalent to an absence, thus eliminating tardies.

The three teams Into which the girls wore separated were the Snow-stormers, Red Jackets, and Dizzy Dames. The Snowstormers consisted of the following girls: LeNora Johnson. Adelyn Taylor, Esther Pote. Maxine Ring. Lois Fry, Clarice Evans. and Edith Richards. Edith Richards was captain of her team. Those girls playing on the Red Jacket team were Verna Severtson.
