Perfect weather and a perfect weekend are the immediate forecast for Mt. Oread.

Tomorrow night electrical engineers will dine and dance while Beta's and Sig Alph's hold their annual spring dances. Many students will journey to the City to attend the horse show while others swarm the local
theaters, venture out to the carnival, or do something different in the way of entertainment.

It's the Fit and Fittings For Chicness With Slacks
Do you ever feel like a cartoonist's nightmare when you put on a pair of slacks? Well, you needn't feel like that this season. Even moderate-priced slacks are well tailored. Get the slack ensemble that best suits your requirements.
Boxy shorties, fitted suit jacket, or boleros, have given slack suits a more formal look. Shirts for slacks can be worn tucked into the waistband,
Tailored slacks with correct shoes and accessories are appropriate at resorts, clubs, on beaches, in your own home. But we confess we don't like to see them on crowded streets in town or for sight seeing on a motor trip. Slacks, too, are not the best costume for very active sports.
For lounging you'll find the bell-bottom trousers that are graceful and comfortable. But even lounging slacks—worn comfortably at home—should be perfectly cut and well fitted.

A luncheon guest of Alpha Chi Omega today was Mrs. Nell Clarke of Troy.
If you select slacks with mannish cuffs, remember this—the bottom, or cuff, measurement should not exceed the length of your foot. Slacks flap unbecomingly if the bottoms are larger than your feet.
Saucy Hat--you might pay 100 or so people to page you at the Granada when you are sure she will be there. Of course, if she has any mind at all, she will probably suspect a trick, but then if she has any mind at all, you wouldn't want to know her anyway. On the other hand, if you wish to be a cave man, the thing to do is to bury one of your teeth in a spot where it will not be discovered by scientists for another 20,-000 years.

In the Spring a Young Man's Fancy Turns to Thoughts of Love--and How
As was appropriately remarked in a recent popular fiction magazine, anyone who isn't interested in wooing at this time of year is undoubtedly either vegetable or mineral and, in the latter case, will probably derive little interest from what follows.
Having eliminated the unfit by this classification, and you presumably having settled on the object toward which your attentions shall be directed, we submit that the first step in the chase to make a LASTING FIRST IMPRESSION. You might knock her into a bed of poison ivy or you might stick out your foot as she enters the classroom (in which case we can absolutely guarantee that she will fall for you.)
Before going any further, it may be wise to determine what kind of impression you wish to make. If you wish to appear to be a BMOC,
Having convinced her by now that you are a man of action and of very remote possibilities, the next step is to GIVE HER A PRESENT. You may have discovered in your recent efforts that the campaign you have embarked upon involves a lot of trouble and expense. Not nearly so much as you may expect in case you are successful, of course, but still plenty.
Now as to the present. It should
be neither intellectual nor cultural, but should be chosen to suit her personality. Something striking, perhaps, like a baseball bat. You might accompany this little gift with a note reading: "Use with discretion; swing well before applying." This is recommended to build up the proper emotional attitude on her part.
Now the actual courtship begins. You could take her to the City, but you could also go to the lake. Then, too, canoeing has its advantages—providing you can swim in case she gets rough. ("She" referring to the water, of course.)
To proceed to the actual proposal. In case you are on dry land, you place both feet firmly on the ground, head up, chin up, take a deep breath, and exhale the loving words slowly.
Dean to Organize University Choir
The first all-University choir will make its appearance on Mount Oread next year under the direction of Dean D. M. Swarthout of the School of Fine Arts.
Dean Swarthout will discontinue his direction of the Presbyterian choir next year and will confine his time to the new school organization. The group will have more than 70 members.
The University of Kansas led all other schools in the Big Six in percentage of alumni placed in the 1938 Who's Who.
