To the half hundred who fired that question this way yesterday we have this to say. Cover swell,印刷打印机,makeup an accident, copy above average and reproduce reproductions awful,a crime—Hamilton came through with a bit of something the next issue will un-doubtedly tell what-Lloyd's children's page typed in any room by Mr. Fowler revolution for the record readers. Our battle cry, "Get A Printer."
Another "queer" varsity will greet the hap hops this Saturday eve when the "Battle of Bands" will be staged in the Union ballroom, Kuhn and his manufacturers will hold sway on one side of the floor as they play their fight for your attention on the other side. To be sure that you are worn to a frazzie when the jig closes, an extra hour and an extra ten cents has been added to the program. The possibilities of an emergency squad to carry out those who can't stand the heat is under discussion. Wagers on each band can be placed with either "Red" or Louie.
The "Thank God it's Friday" Clut announces that it now has closed its membership. The ranks have beer and wine, but the Dor Junus. Need more be said?
The "Potted Petunias Preserver Patrons" have also filled their ranks. Membership is as follows: The gai yellow picket and Bird Wasson.

Among the Saturday night "Ha-Tippers" in the city someone found Ed Lane and "Brody" Shroff, all alone together—another angle on this Saturday night business is that no one came back until after the dawn on Sunday morn. Everyone thought that he or she was an ex-

Swing Rhythm Promotes Safety And Speeds Up Negro Labor Gangs
Harrisburg, Pa. Sept. 27. —(UP) Swing rhythm may be new to devotees of the modern pericorpheon art. Here is a collection of Negroes who is old, old "stuff."
On Saturday,
Douglas, native of Layburgh, Va.
who offers "do a swinging sleed
and biting pike," relates that rail-lin-
ing is an art and singing an essential
factor of the work. The gang's "prima
donna" calls it "labor by rhythm"
a working method as old as the rail-
road in the South, but comparatively
new in the North.
Warning Tickets
For Incorrect Parking
Issued to No Avail
The Pennsylvania railroad yards, far from the polished floors and soft lights of dance palaces and night clubs, are the concert halls of Foreman Art Nunley's rail gang, headed by husky boss, John Douglas, which employs "swing-sing" rhythm as part of daily routine.
"Some folk just can't understand an ordinary warning," said the traffic man. "It takes a fine to make them understand."
When the men are on the job, Douglas usually sings the words and keeps the time for the best of humour. He also sings in orchestra conductor, he must preserve the rhythm to the speed the ob requires.
Whereupon he related the story of the Campus motorist who wanted to return a green ticket yesterday.
Baton waving is only a dressed-up takeoff from the swing of sledgehammer against spike set to the heel. Southland chants, these boys assert.
"My 'ol captain might be blind, but he sure can line," is one of the chants choured by Douglas and his "band," as they push, tug, hammer and pick in union to fit rails in place before he can participate in program in the local yards.
George Snyder, Campus traffic of flier, said yesterday that from 45 to 50 cards had been issued calling for $1 fines for parking cars in unauthorized areas. The fines went to the avenue. The day before some 500 warning tickets had been issued.
Old Southern System
"It don't want it; it's yours," said Snyder.
"Didn't you get a warning yesterday?" asked the officer.
"What's that ticket on the seat of your car?" queried George.
"But I didn't know about the parking rules," argued the motorist.
Presumably the fine has been paid
Norfolk, Va. Sept. 27 — (UP)—Hugo L. Black, a board a ship that was fighting a stiff wind off the Virginia Cape came within a half day's sailing from port tonight. Before noon he will have a chance to answer on American soil charges that he was a life member of the Ku Klux Klan who took the role in the white supremacy justice of the United States supreme court.
Rumors raced along the waterfront that Black was preparing to make one final move in the game of hide-and-go-seek. His move, according to the rumors, would be to avenge from the ussrmer City of Norfolk far out at sea and getting aboard a special coast guard cutter.
Levitt points out that Black was a member of the senate when the supreme court retirement plan passed Congress. This act allowed supreme court justices who have reached the age of 70 and who have spent 10 years on the highest bench, to retire at a salary of $20,000 a year.
The Norfolk coast guard said, however, that no orders had been received to send the cutter out to pick up Black and Mrs. Black.
When the supreme court convenes for its autumn meeting Monday and Black takes his seat—barring his resignation—he will find on the docket a petition challenging his right to challenge the highest judicial body. This petition does not deal with his reported mem-borship in the Klan. It challenges him on constitutional grounds. It was filed by Albert Lewis, former governor of Arkansas, and asks the court to file a formal complaint against seating Black.

Lay Rail in Five Minutes
Lay kid in free minutes
Orchestrations best out by currently popular dance band the institution of railway train have nothing on Doug's beat as he rushes his men to replace a broken rail so that an "honest - to - goodness" express train can continue in its way without a hitch. The crew can lay a rail in less than five minutes to a fast tempo.
Rhythm is slowed when work is dangerous to insure care and exactness. When tearing up track, the Wayne King's famous slow waltzes. An experienced person may get a foot cut off when tearing up rails, Douglas said. He modestly adds that his crew is "the best in these parts."
Both Douglas and Nunnley are southerners and have worked their system often in various parts of the United States. Many of their gang follow them from one job to another, just as orchestra members follow their leaders from one town to another.
Spike-drive requires no human voice accompaniment. During such a "concerto" the sledges beat a natural rhythm much like trap drums.
Sledges Beat Rhythm
Swing rhythm may not have originated with this rail-laying outfit, but they know they introduced their parer to swing" long before it became popular.
Freshman
Election
Overshadowed
Riv al Political Camps
Are More Concerned
With It Filling Vacant
Council Seats
By Morris Thompson, c'38
Rendered not so important by the epidemic of enroligability in the Men' Student Council, the freshman election is getting off to a slow start, as the rival political camps are as much concerned with lining up petitioners for the vacant seats in the Council. Before the academic sciae the elimination of P.S.C.L.'s from the Council, Pacha-ceaam was sitting precariously on the upper edge of the legislative body with a 14-13 majority. While this condition existed, the freshman election held the spotlight of interes and party effort for the president o the University to seat and vote in the Council.
But Pacchacamie is down with a 9-11 handicap, and with five petitions from either party soon to be voted on for Council seats, it looks like a P.S.G.L. show. Politics have died out in the body, but it is entirely improbable that P.S.G.L will forget party alignment continued by the working margin. If P.S.G.L uses its present two-man majority to the fullest advantage and fills all five vacancies that party will stand with a 16-9 majority. However, should the altogether surprising and unusual spirit of co-operation and senatorial unselflessness continue to exist, P.S.G.L can concede a pair of seats to Pacchacamie and still be on to 14-11.
Even this concession would put them out of danger in the event of a Pachacamac victory in the freshman election, for the count would be 15-12. On the other hand, a P.S.G.I. would boost the major to 15-13.
But in spite of the aforementioned unusual spirit in the Council, this observer predicts a P.S.G.L. major, who will be 16-10 after the freshman election.
Death Takes
Victim of Coma
Chicago, Sept. 27. —(UP)—Death tonight ended Mrs Patricia Meunegue's long sleep after five years, months and fourteen days of illness.
The beautiful brunette sleeping-sickness victim died at the Presbyterian hospital at 8:35 p.m.
Bronchial pneumonia and a wasting tumor brought the end to the long fight of medical science to awaken the "sleeping beauty."
It was the end of a long battle for the beautiful one-time stenographer who in February, 1932, slipped into the endless sleep from
It was not, however, the encephalite letheres, medical name for sleeping-sickness, that caused her death except insofar as the asm prevented Patricia from summoning her to attack the ravages of her twin ailments.
She was taken to the hospita,
Sunday night. The tumor had cut
50 pounds from her weight in six
weeks, but she was unable to
die if it were not removed.
A few hours before she was scheduled to be wheeled into the operating room, bronchial pneumonia stepped in. The operation was postponed and an oxygen mask was brought to the bedside. While a nurse was in the room, the gen to the solomolent woman, doctors transfused the blood of a policeman in Patricia's veins. It was, however, a futile effort.
Women's Style Show To Display Hill Fashions
What to wear on the campus to impress that special Saturday night date, or to knock the stags at the big formal frolics will be demonstrated at a style show to be given Friday afternoon under the sponsorship of the Federation of Councillors.

All the freshman women are invited to attend the demonstration of the latest in campus wear as observed by women students on the Hill.
Roosevelt Expects Balanced Budget
With President Roosevelt, enroute to Seattle, Sept. 27—(UP)—President Roosevelt said today that he expected a balanced budget by the next fiscal year which begins July 1, 1938.
He made this remark almost casually in an address before he pressed a button which started the first production of power from the auxiliary equipment of the still incomplete 51 million dollar Bonneville dam project on the Columbia river in Oregon.
