All the boys and girls who heared the Alpha Chi's serenade Monday night are still talking. But the Alpha Chi's arcn't talking much about what happened at the Phi Pai house, because as Mariann Lacey parked her car there she hooked bumpers with a parked car. And when Corrine Harrison rolled down the hill while she hung on forloring for help. Until it bumped into another Phi Pai car and stopped.
Chester, abbreviated to Chet, is the real name of the kid who sella eiksimo pleas and drumsticks at the baseball games. It is NOT "Christ" as some people have been led to believe.

It Can't Happen Now
Lindv Sees No War Threat
Copyright 1939 by United Press
Washington, May 4—(UP) - Col. Chas. A. Lindbergh has told friends that he is confident there is no immediate danger of war in Europe, it was learned today.
Persons who have conferred with Lindbergh since he returned to the United States and began a survey of aviation research facilities for the army, said he was discounting war talk in this country with the contention that people abroad are not concerned about war.
He made his views known in conversations with influential men close to the aviation problem. He expressed the opinion that unless the United States hastens its air expansion program, it will find itself at a disadvantage, he said, which he now rates first in planes and first in research facilities.
Once this country's program is started, however, he believes it can surpass Germany easily in mass production of planes.
These views of Lindbergh were learned at high official circles indicated that France is planning to increase its purchase of military planes.
France already has contracted for approximately 800 American planes. It was hited in military quarters that France *would* like to double that number but, because of this country's own huge air expansion program, production facilities would not al-ready be more than 500 additional ships now.
A French military mission, headed by Major General Andre Gavard, inspector general of ordinance, is now preparing to move on to the possible purchase of munitions."
The mission, which also includes a metallurgical expert of the French technical staff, called upon assistant secretary of war Louis Johnson Tuesday "to inform him of their presence in this country." This was part of an effort to charge charges of a secret military alliance between the two countries.
According to unofficial but authoritative military statistics, France is now a "Bad Fifth" in the European air race. The French air corps, it is believed, does not exceed 2,200 first-line planes. The strength of other European powers is believed to be about as follows: Germany 9,500; Russia 6,100; Italy 4,500; and Great Britain 3,300.
Forty more Chinese students may attend universities for 10 months as a result of the campus-wide drive for funds, it was announced today by John J. O. Moore, secretary of the M.C.A. and a leader in the drive.
★ Money Will Enable 40 For Eastern Students to Attend Universities
Lindbergh, it was, ranks Europa-air corps as follows: 1. Germany; 2. Great Britain - France
3. Russia said it would be uncertain about Russia
Culminating yesterday in a campus "tag day," the drive has already pushed the Chinese aid fund to $415.61. Money is still coming in.
Mr. Moore, who acted as adviser to the drive, said that he thought the greatest benefit accruing in the drive was the education those worked out of it. "I'm sure that all the students who helped feel a satisfaction in what they did and also a real disappointment that we can send only a little more than $400." said Mr. Moore.
Of the eightteen teams which conducted the tag day yesterday, the Y.W.C.A. team led with the figure 102, the M.I.C.A. team was second with $25.

Sordid Picture of 'War's Curse'
There is no glamor to the fighting in "All Quiet on the Western Front," a world war movie that had its first presentation on the Campus this afternoon, in Fraser theater. A second showing will be given tonight at 7:30.
Alva Powell, c'39
With all preceding war stories brought to the screen from "The Big Parade," to "The Journey's End," there has always been an inevitable glamor attached to fighting. "All Quiet on the Western Front," presents no glamor, but instead it is courageously bitter from the first disillusionment of a group of German children in a front
training-camp to the snuffing out of
the last of them at the front.
Only one scene of near romance is portrayed and this takes place when three soldiers swim the canal to get the compassionate embrace of the three French girls. Milestone and Anderson in filming this scene interrupt this romantic interlude with sordid patterns of actual warfare.
There is imagination in the final scene, which sounds the key-note. Here is a hillside sow' thick with crosses, and over it passes a ghostly procession of the dead who turn and look out at the audience with the implied speech, "To this end you have doomed us."
Germans object to the Remarque drama, from which this picture was filmed, on many different grounds, but chiefly because there are so many cowards in it, and because the schoolboy hero is made to say there could be no death more infamous than that of dying for one's country. One German authority said, "The recruiting, drilling, and school scenes as episodes in this picture, well-informed people must know are farecal."
The picture portrays in general how English soldiers retained their native humor in mud and discomfiture, under the heaviest of bombardment.
It has remained for E. M. Re-
marque, author of the book, to show to the post-war generations what pitiful types of Germans the war generation had to fight. Remarque says: "This story was to be neither an accusation nor a confession, and least of all an adventure, for death is not an adventure to those who stand face to face with German generals in the generation of men who, even though they may have escaped its shells, were destroyed by the war."
Carl Lemaume, assistant film director, says: "The purpose in filming this picture is to open display windows of the audience, such a feeling against war that no one will be able to look at a rifle without a shoulder."
year will be selected from this state, in 1930 and 1531, is a Topena at There will be opportunity for dis- journey and a graduate of Harvard.
The council Tuesday night made the decision that 10 members of the council will be selected at the meeting tonight and the council itself will vote in two additional members next fall. This provision was made because some freshmen who could not have some freshmen who could not be elected at this time on the board.
