Hill Women Uphold Lantern Tradition
ON YOUR KNEES
Somewhere, somebody must have had a drought. Maybe the Bantus or Hottentots.

Despite mud puddles and rainy weather, 200 University women will staunchly struggle across the campus tonight to keep the 25th observance of the annual Lantern Parade. one of the University's oldest traditions.
After dining buffet style in the Memorial Union ballroom, the women will participate in group singing led by Jean Edlund. The first half of the program for the evening will be ended when the cheerleaders will lead the group in the Rock Chalk yell.
At 7:30 p.m., headed by Doris Twente, persident of W.S.G.A., and Margaret Learned, president of Y. W.C.A., the paradrs will make their way across the Hill carrying the symbolic Japanese lanterns, to the home of Chancellor and Mrs. D. W. Malott.
The Chancellor is scheduled to speak a few words to the lantern paraders if the rain doesn't interfere.
At the Chancellor's home the women will serenade. After the serenade the Chancellor and Mrs. Mallott will be presented a bouquet of flowers from the two organizations represented.

Whoever the gods are who are cooperating so earnestly and intensely, they should develop guilt complexes if they knew to what extremes these "things in the air" (Webster) are driving us.
According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, rain is "the most difficult of all meteorological elements to treat in a satisfactory manner." Agreed. To cope with the situation, Hill puddle-jumpers have rescued dirty duck hats, skipper's helmets, white fisherman's boots, battered umbrellas, worn-out reversibles, and every type of raincoat the weatherman ever thought of.
Outstanding among such junty costumes is the coed who goes all-out for the skipper idea: knee-high boots, yellow slicker, and yellow skipper's hat, giving that streamlined effect. To set the atmosphere for this odoriferous outt, she sloshes down the campus with that "I-go-on-a-10-mile-hike evrey morning before breakfast stride.

More suitable art the coy ones who bury the old s.a. under a bulky white, blue,or rose, not-water-repellent garbardine raincoat, with duck hat to match. These are considered quite the latest in rainy weather apparel.

Anyway you do it, you'll feel awful. Water trickles down your nose, your hair is soaked, you're sniffling—and just when you're about at the saturation point, some gay fool drives madly down Oread drive at 40 per and splashes water and mud on the one dry spot left.
