Snooping Around News and Views from other colleges
Dad had his day at the University of Minnesota Saturday. He attended classes, met instructors, lunched at dormitories, sorority or fraternity houses, and saw the Minnesota- Indiana game.
After the game he attended the an-
houses, and saw the Minnesota-Indes-
sociation in the main ballroom of the Union. In the evening he took the rest of the family to the Dad's day banquet.
The first Dad's day was held November 15, 1924. the day Memorial stadium was dedicated.
Records for the Army
One thousand, old or no longer used phonograph records were collected from fraternity houses, sorority rooms, dormitories, and other campus centers at Louisiana State University last week to be sent to army camps and hospitals in the Baton Rouge area.
Records of any type, swing or classic were welcome contributions. The government has provided phonographs, but no records are available.
No Sloppy Joe's at U. C. L. A.
Bussing dishes is a new activity this year for U.C.L.A. men and women eating in the cafeteria and coffee shop, due to labor shortages.
The cafeteria has had difficulty keeping those few employees who have not entered war work. So now the students are stacking their own plates and cleaning off tables after they eat.
Tar Heelers Will Vacation
Extension of the Christmas holidays to a three weeks total and the abolition of the customary spring holidays was sanctioned by the University of North Carolina faculty in general meeting last week.
The extension of the Christmas holidays and the suspension of Thanksgiving holidays came as a result of o government-railway request to aid in alleviating the acute holiday transportation problem.
The resolution passed by the faculty places the opening date for Fall quarter examinations on December 11. The quarter will officially close for the Yule recess on December 16.
Students Voted at Virginia
In the largest student vote for some years last Monday the student body at the University of Virginia indicated their desire to leave the holidays as scheduled. There were 1003 ballots cast in the straw vote.
"College Topics," student publication, emphasized that students should understand that this vote is not of a binding nature and that the final decision is up to the University authorities. Doubtless, however this indication of student desire will influence those who make the decision. The controversy arose out of a form letter sent out by the Southern Passenger Association proposing the extension of vacations in that vicinity because of the crowded conditions on the trains now, and which will probably be much worse during the holiday.
NOTICE
Catholic Students: The Rev. E. J. Weissenberg will be at his office in room 415, Watson library from 1 to 5 o'clock Thursday afternoon for personal conferences.
What Does Grevvd Mean? ★★★ ★★★ Vice Versa Dance
Jay Janes are exciting curiosity by the question: "What does GREVD mean?" Exact definition will be revealed in a week but the women's pep organization asserts that it is conceived with the annual Jay Jane Vice Versa Dance, scheduled for Nov. 21, in the Memorial Union ballroom.
Begun last year to raise money for a Jay Jane scholarship, the dance has become the traditional woman-take-man affair of the social calendar. University women invite men, send corsages (usually made from vegetables), and escort them to and from the dance, standing all expense. The tickets are being sold by Jay Janes and cost 75 cents date or 50 cents stag, including tax. Only women may buy tickets.

Health Unit Blames Epidemic on Virus
The student health unit and city health department are both investigating possible causes of an epidemic of intestinal disorders which have been reported recently.
As safety measures, Dr. H. R. Chambers, of the Lawrence Health Department advises students who eat at restaurants and cafes to patronize only those establishments where dishes and silverware are properly washed. He also advised ordering drinks in paper cups and destroying the cups so that they cannot be reused.
Rumors that the epidemic was caused by impure water, milk, and food have been proven false. Doctors now believe a virus similar to that causing a common cold is responsible.

All-Girl Concert Band Members To Be Chosen
Something new for University audiences will be the all-girl concert band, being organized by Russell L. Wiley, director of the band. Fifty to seventy-five college women dressed in formalms, will play everything from the classes to swing.
Personnel will be determined at a meeting from 7:30 to 8:30 p. m. Wednesday in Engineering auditorium, Marvin hall. At this time instrumentation will be lined up, officers elected and a time set for rehearsals.
Any-woman who plays any band instrument, including the string bass, is eligible for membership. It is not necessary to bring instruments to the Wednesday meeting. Director Wiley said.
A nucleus of 14 girls from the University band and 21 additional players from the School of Fine Arts have indicated that they wish to join. Mr. Wiley said that the requirements were not so strenuous for membership in the all-girl organization as for membership in the concert band and urged women who had played instruments at some time to practice up.
Vocalists, Mr. Wiley hopes to recruit from within the band. He said that he intended to feature a soloist and probably a trio, singing with a small ensemble. The man shortage, the director said, is making the University more and more dependent upon women entertainers.
Miss Ruth Hoover, women's intramural director, advises all women interested in WAA to get their points checked immediately by Margaret Butler in Robinson. WAA awards will be presented Dec. 10 at the WAA initiation.

Hungerford Finds New Insect Species
With an enrollment change at each reclassification of the draft list, the few remaining men in the School of Law haven't had much time for social activity. The engineers have given up their annual barnstorming" because few besides women and freshmen remain to defend the "barn." The women law students, who call themselves "The Elite Four," decided to inject a little spirit into the life of the lawyers, and have invited the men to a 'mixer-party' at 4 p.m., November 22 in the lounge of Green hall. Members of the faculty, their wives, and Chancellor and Mrs. Deane Malott also have been invited.
Wednesday
GRANADA
A new species of the insect surinama has been classified by Prof. H. B. Hungerford, head of the entomology department.
The new species was contained in an air-mail package sent to the department from Paramaribo, Dutch Guiana, for determination.
Another species of the surinama found in the package represents the second known specimen of that species, Professor Hungerford stated. The significance of this discovery lies in the fact that this species was previously thought to exist only in French Guiana, he explained.
