happenings on the hill
Did you know that the three-hour weekend dance no longer has a place in the modern college? We have this on the word of Fred Littooy, varsity dance manager for the last two years.
According to Littooy's report which he delivered to the Men's Student Council Monday night, there are only two or three times during the year when it is possible to make money on a weekend varsity here at the University. "The only profitable time to hold var-sities is in the early fall on nights following football games," says Littooy.
"It is worse than useless to attempt to make money on all-University weekend dances in the spring. We've tried everything along this line—served cokes in the ballroom, had four hours of dancing, provided the dancers with two bands in the same evening—and still we lost money."
"It is foolish to spend money which belongs to all students in order to entertain 50 to 70 people for an evening."
To what does Litttoy attribute this death of varsities? The overabundance of juke-box hangouts. Students would prefer to go to one of these spots where they may sit around informally and still take time out for a dance when they are seized with the urge.
"The increased number of parties in the spring also hastened the death of regular weekend dances," said Litttooy, "and the same situation exists in colleges and universities all over the country."
This thing of receiving letters from war-torn England is becoming slightly common place, but here's a new angle. Cline Hensley, college
junior, got a letter from a soldier in the German army.
The letter had to come to this country by way of Siberia and Japan, so it took about six weeks enroute. Hensley started the correspondence when he was studying German three years ago, but since the war he had almost forgotten about his former "pen-pal."
The young German soldier, Eberhard Tuerke, writes partly in German and partly in English, but all of his writing reflects a deep-rooted hate and contempt for the British.
In the letter Eberhard says, "This war will be over soon, and when it is, Britain will be no more. The poor misguided British led by war-loving prime minister and their own desire to kill are trying to fight with garden hoes and rakes against our tanks and stukas."
Not one, but two appendectomies were performed at Watkins Memorial hospital yesterday. The patients were Clarence Ketterman.
college freshman, and Barbara Brooke, fine arts sophomore.

So much that's important is happening today-in America, in Europe, Africa, Asia. And you know about it almost as soon as it happens!
