George Snyder To Clamp Down On Mag Salesmen
George Snyder, keeper of the peace atop Mount Oread, will follow the example of the downtown police force and clamp down on bogus magazine salesmen on the campus.
Women's Influence Felt On 1941 Mardi Gras
Proclaiming the salesmen a nuisance, George upheld his belief that such men are only shirking their way through college. He warned all students to discourage the salesmen.
New Orleans, Oct. 16—(UP)—Next Mardi Gras will give women a second invasion of the privileges that heretofore have been held only by men during the traditional merrymaking.
The Krewe of Venus, its membership a secret, have announced they will put "glamour" into the carnival.
"A number of us decided that the men have been monopolizing the fun long enough," the unidentified originator of the Krewe of Venus idea explained.
The other feminine invasion of man's exclusive right on Mardi Gras comes when the old Sazerac Bar throws open its doors to both sexes. On all other days of the year, only men are allowed to enter the bar and rest a foot on the brass rail.
For the first time, women will occupy carnival floats, when the newly organized Krewe of Venus stages its parade Sunday, Feb. 4.
"At least, the women will be a lot more graceful than the men maskers, taken by and large," she added.
She said the women will use more stylish costumes than those of the men who compose the parade crews and that their costumes will be of better material. The masks will be "brettier," she added.
Except for the extra "glamour," the Krewe of Venus expects to uphold Mardi Gras traditions of the crews throwing trinkets to spectators from the floats. But the women think they can substitute grace and beauty for much of the comedy the men crews count on to make their parades successes.
In all carnival parades so far, the male crews have adopted costumes and masks striving for fantastic and comic effects rather than for glamour, the Krewe of Venus leaders pointed out.
Grads Elect Club Officers
Election of officers for the newly formed graduate club was held last night when the club met for dinner and a business meeting in the Dean of Women's office.
Officers chosen and their former schools are as follows: president, Jane Willis, Leland Stanford; vicepresident, Pauline Schmidt, Illinois; secretary - treasurer, J e a n Lambert, Friend's University; publicity chairman, Edith Borden, Kansas University; social chairman, Emily Jane Yount, Kansas State college; group interests chairman, Dorothy Pollock, Columbia University.
Plans were made to draw up a constitution, and the first event on the social calendar is to be a picnic, the date of which is indefinite.
Horses' skulls, at one time, were regarded as a protection against lightning in England. For that reason, such skulls often were built into church towers there.
Here are shoes you'll love to live in! So light...so soft ..so supple, they put a lilt into every step you take. Cute stubby toes...glamour-girl heels...impudent young lines—that's Hooligan Kicks!
