May Day decided to pull a Lawrence Tibbett act today and stay South for another month, while March winds and white clouds haunted summer-starved students on Mt. Oread. The sounds of music have failed to reach many parts of the Campus yet, but tonight Hoch auditorium will house the biggest event of both Music Week and the mid-week social season, when Richard Crooks, radio tenor, presents his concert. Petition-signing students have failed to accomplish anything in the way of scheduling
mid-week dances weekly, so Campus socialites will be only spectators at tonight's activities.

Sunshine Changes To Rain; Parasol To Umbrella
With showers and sunshine taking turns on the weather docket comes the question of when is an umbrella a parasol, and vice versa? Happily, the question requires no answer. The new umbrellas are so gay that they could be carried on nice days, "worn" without a hat for instance. And they ought to make going out in spring rain a much less cheerless business than it usually is.
Consider a snappy new number of black-and-white check, with long crooked red handle and red tips. It's much too nice to save for rainy days. Checks, plaids, and prints in brilliant colors are predominant in the new umbrellas. A blue-and-white shado wheck umbrella has a blue crooked handle and tips. The plaids—in crimson, bottle green, and white crossed with yellow bars—to cite one of them—are bright enough to knock the gloom out of any gray day. In sunny weather they would be positively dazzling.
