INTERCOLLEGIATE NEWS A Pan-Helenic Whist Tournament is the latest amusement devised at the University of Iowa. The fraternities think that a whist tourney would create as much heat and blood as the base ball interfraternity league. The men of Iowa are said to be expert in manipulating trumps and aces, and a lively time is assured to the contestants. The tourney will be held at the beginning of the Winter Quarter. An interfraternity bowling league is also proposed. The upper-class women at the University of California have voted to wear corduroy skirts as the official class skirt. They will endeavor to make this custom a tradition. It has become a tradition among upper-classmen to wear corduroy suits. The students of Berkeley and Stanford now might be said to be dressed by tradition. There is a class cap, a class suit, a class tie, and at one time class shoes were introduced. The University of California is soon to issue a new song book. In issuing this book a radical departure will be made from the usual college book, as nearly all the songs are to be entirely new and distinctively Californian Professors and alumni have written most of the songs, the book being edited by a professor and an alumnus. The University of Indiana will not be represented by graduate or undergraduate in the competition for the Rhodes scholarships. An official of the university states that the reason for this is because the required examinations are too strenuous for the Hoosier candidates. Professor Martha Foote Crow of Northwestern has taken a stand in her English classes against the fad among the girls of covering the walls of their rooms with gaudy posters. She says that the university courses of today pay too much attention to practical matters and too little to aesthetic and artistic studies. NEWS ITEMS.

The native people are generally robust and buy but little medicine. The Americans and invalids who go that country to recuperate are their best patrons. THE LEAP YEAR RAGE The following from an exchange is but another example of the strenuosity of modern society life: "The young women of the Philokurian Literary society of Butler college have determined to take advantage of leap year, and have announced to the male students that they will furnish the escorts to all regular meetings and social functions during the year. "The matter was brought up through a motion, which the president of the society refused to entertain. The meeting adjourned in disorder, but the women members met in secret afterwards, and after a long discussion approved the plan and notified the male students of their action. In order to enforce it they also have determined not to accept a man as an escort if he makes the overtures." The men of Kansas University have taken the rather numerous leap year parties here as a joke. But if the rage continues, if the madness extends from the historic halls of Williams and Harvard to the western universities of California and Stanford, from Michigan to Texas, the chances are that the funny men in the funny columns of the funny papers will again perpetrate those atrocities upon innocent society known as the effeminate man and masculine-female jokes. 828Mass.
