Students Rejuvenate Campus
A volunteer army of 2,000 students and 30 faculty members staged a successful campaign to clean up the campus at the University of Washington. After a morning of path building, gardening, and leaf-raking, the campus had one and one-half miles of wide, straight pathways replacing old mud trails. Garden patches had been rejuvenated, leaves were raked into piles, and a large amount of underbrush was removed. Following the campus day activities, participants attended a free show in Meany hall.
Freshmen and sophomores at the University of California arranged a Harvest Day Brawl for the student body at Los Angeles. After harvesting the perishable tomato crops in the San Fernando Valley for four hours, the students proceeded to a nearby park for an old-fashioned picnic and the brawl proper. Points were awarded the class with the greatest representation, the class harvesting the most produce, and for events of the brawl. Wearing apparel for the day was blue jeans and checked shirts.

Although he did not participate in any of the scoring, Marshall Hulett turned in a fine game. He made many nice catches of passes to bring the Phi Gam's down the field.
The Blanks defeated Kappa Eta Kappa 6 to 0 in a hard fought game. Frank "Whitey" Stannard scored the touchdown after snagging one of Delmar Green's passes. The play of Stannard, always something marvelous, was up to par. He continually pulled passes out of opposition arms until nearly the entire

Illustrating his talk with examples of old English ballads, Dr. John Ashton discussed traditional ballads at the first departmental meeting of English majors in the Kansas room of the Union building yesterday.
Characterizing ballads by their conservatism, simplicity, and fluidity, Dr. Ashton contended that they represent the most real blending of the arts of poetry and music. Stories told in rhymes to music, ballads have been the means for esthetic satisfaction for many generations, and traditionally follow three principle patterns: riddles with answers, heroic ballads, and love ballads.
Comprehended by the illiterate as well as the literate, ballads stated Dr. Ashton, are truly the literature of the people.
