Things are coming to a pretty pass when we high-strung, nervous men cannot walk down the campus without being shocked, mournified, and overwhelmed. We present themselves from behind windows facing the streets. One of the lads while walking by the Union building stopped in to phone Gertrude Fields at the Pt Phi House fields, asked her to please draw her blinds.
It seems one of the Delta Chi boys,
John Murray, has been bothered of
late by numerous phone calls from
one who says her name is "Bubbles."
Murray is most anxious to learn
more about the mysterious lady but
she refuses to talk about herself
and the call is untraceable. It sounds like
one of those telephone operators
playing pranks again this year, but
no one can figure out why she chose
the Delta Chi house.
The Theta mouners repented their sins Tuesday with a large box of candy, delivered by a taxi-driver, and the following poem:
A dummy would send Candy.
We repent for what we sent
--over to acquire color prints of contemporary art and enable the artist o receive a royalty on the sale of copies of his work.
"A louse would send a mouse
And being dandies, here are your candies."
The girls at that lodge said that they didn't think the poetry was good but they liked the candy.
As the paper goes to print, I realize that I failed to place one item in the society column, so it will have to appear twice. Two weeks before a party at Saturday night at Fourteenth and Cherry in the City, a fine time was had by all.
The three Alpha Delta Pi girls did pretty fair last night at the Mid-week. They were featured with three of their classmates sang two trio numbers. Not bad
Acceding to Louis, his band will feature some form of new Hill tail at each variety they play in the near future. It sounds like a good deal. These added acts will be surprises and anything can be expected, even John Milton Phillips doing a special tau-dance, they say.
When reading the "Beat the Freshman" lines on the sports page a few days ago, Lida Alena Brown mentioned that she thought they stopped freshman-beating last year Maybe she's right.

France Reopens Debt Negotiations
Paris, Nov. 18,—(UP)—France has reopened negotiations with the United States with a view of resuming payments of her overdue war debt, the United Press learned tonight.
The plan they contemplate is resumption of annual payment as soon as possible, a government official stated, once an agreement has been reached between the two countries to resolve the debt. (The United States government announced on Nov. 15, 1935, a total French debt of $407,075,341 amounts by France on principal and both funded and unfunded payments by France on principal and both paid to $486,075,881 as of that date.)
Windows Smashed By French Rioters
Paris, Nov. 18- (UF) - French communists loudly sing the "International" smashed windows of the apartment where Elisabeth lived in an angry demonstration over the suicide of Roger Salengruz, minister of interior.
Some members of the Chamber of Deputies fight in corridors of the chamber.
Solengeg, who held the most powerful post in the Popular Front government of Leon Blum, committed suicide in his bone at Lille early to day because he could no longer bear the rebuses and ridicule of political officers who charged him with deserting to the World War.
Remarks Cause Fights
The Chamber of Deputies' braw
ing started when a rightist deputy
shapped the face of a leftist col-
lege because of a remark about
Sagepier.
Shortly before midnight several hundred communists and socialists paraded up the Champs-Élysées, focal point of all political demonstrations in Paris, selling its special edition of the communist newspaper, the "Humanite," which contained a glowing tribute to Sagittarius.
Between stumaz of the "International" the demonstrators shouted: "Live Salengro, to the firing post with his assassins."
Police Stop Destruction
Fence Stop Inc.
Several windows of the night newspaper, Figure 160, near the rear of the building, arrived barned fountain, were amused. Similar damage was inflicted at the offices of Leer Bailey's newspaper, "Le Jour."
Police broke up the demonstration but in its participants re-assembled and paired with the demonstrators past the United Press offices, singing and shouting.
Thayer Museum Exhibits Pictures
Police succeeded in dispersing the leftist demonstrators at midnight.
Twelve color reproductions of works by living American artists are on exhibition in the water color room of Spooner-Thayer museum. This exhibit is the first in a series of four planned by the Amer-
The pictures included in the group of reproductions are chosen by a jury composed of Louis Bouche, Alexander Brook, Adolf Dehn, and Hughes Mearns. This jury is assembled in an arrangement proposed of George Gershwin, Archibald Macleish, Homer Saint-Gaudens, and Carl Van Danen.
The artists represented are Rico Lebrun, William Gropper, Aaron Bohrad, William J. Glackens, John Sloan, Louis Bouche, Raphael Sphyre, Pena Poor, Daiso Peggy Bacon, Reneal Mardis, and George Gross.
The reproductions are quite varied in subject, technique, and color.
Spanish Rebel Government Is Recognized
Seville, Spain, Nov. 19—(UCP)
The rebel radio station here
saved early today the various
parts of Madrid were hurrying
to seek out the bombing plosives had been dropped on the city by Nationalists' planes.
BULLETIN
The action was taken in concert with Italy, Europe's other fascist state. Plans for recognition were rejected by the French Foreign Minister Gaucer Carlo of Italy was in Berlin, but diplomatic had expected recognition would not be extended until the troops in fall possession of Madrid.
Berlin, Nov. 18—(UP)—Adol Hiller's Nazi government today extended the hand of friends and recognition to General Francisco France's rightist rebel government in Spain, thus stamping it from the German viewpoint as Spain's only legal regime.
Germany announced that its Charge d'Affaires in Allante would be withdrawn and then would be accredited to France's government The Reths action was announced in the following communique:
"Inasmuch as the government of General Franca has taken possession of the largest part of state territory, and inasmuch as the development of the last few weeks have shown always more clearly that there is no longer a question of the exercise of responsible governmental power in other parts of Spain than it has been needed to recognize the government of General Franco and take up diplomatic relations through the Charge d'Affaires who will be accredited to his government."
Rome, Nov. 18, (UP) - The Italian government granted official recognition to Gen. Francesc France's government in Spain.
Italy Follows Germany's Step
This action, which may result in openly lining up the rightist and leftist powers of Europe on either side in the Spanish civil war, was announced in a communique from the Ministry of Propaganda at 5:30 p.m. (12:30 p.m. EST) coincept with one issued in Berlin.
Observers noted that the Italian emmunoise was almost identical to hat of the German government and it was a social police nosed in close concert.
International crises, it is said, may be precipitated if the Soviet decides openly to support the loyalist government of Spain. It was assumed that the Italian and German heresy forthway may have been unintentionally imposed to France for the purpose of hastening his occupation of all Spain.
October was a banner month for the men's employment bureau, when $161.625 was carried by students through jobs secured for them by the bureau, Mrs. Frank Parker, secretary, announced yesterday.
Lieut.-Col. Kart F. Baldwin, head of the University R.O.T.C. unit, last night talked in Marvin hall before approximately 100 members of the local Reserve Officers association and senior R.O.T.C. classes on "Zone Al-
"This is the largest amount ever earned in one month since the bureau was established." Mrs. Parken said. "Last May students earned $1230 which was the record until the October figures were complied."
The record sum was earned through 270 different jobs. Of these, 81 were steady jobs and 189 were odd or part-time jobs. Of late, part-time jobs are paying a little more in wages, although the increase is slight.
Colonel Baldwin illustrated his slide with screens showing military naps of the Meuse Arxome offensive if the World War. Major H. E. Roy roast artillery service, presided at the meeting.

The report also shows that although the farm continues to supply the largest number of the students, only two of the 4,067 students enrolled plan to take up farming after they are graduated.
The totals show 298 students, or
26.93 per cent of the total, are self-
supporting, 1145 or 2472 per cent
of the total, and 4611 or
6431 per cent of the total.
Calls Politicians Agitated Pollywogs To Win Contest
Don Voorhees Takes
First Prize in Speech
Tourney; Thorpe, Second;
Maloney, Third
"The local campus politician is comparable to an agitated polywolf," said Den Voorhees, c38, who won first place in the twelfth annual campus speaking contest, held in Fraser the last night.
Voorhees was presented a silver loving cup, the award of the forensic council, by the chairman, William Penn, who received 200 persons heard the speeches.
"Everyone knows that our present self-government is less efficient than the 'Wee Willing Workers' club of a one-room country school." Vouchers for this program, The Plattitudes." He suggested that the student body elect two men from each party, abolish platforms, allow these four men to choose a fifth to complete their organization, and dates now released to the M.S.C.
"Of course, this would do away with the incentives for running for election, which everyone knows is a varsity dance pass," he said.
Work on New Dormitory Is Going Forward Rapidly
Thorpe Defends Forums
Thorpe Defends Forums
Bob Thorpe, c37, winning second place, defended "Forums," c27.-c27."
He was depended upon vigorous discussion of problems, both in school and of other forms of government," said Thorpe.
He stressed that the Administration of the University cannot, because of its position, sponsor speakers that take definite sides upon the issues. He said that such men can be sponsored by the Student Forum Board.
Working Student From...
Martin Maloney, e37, receive
three place in the contest, pointing
out that problems of working
students can be solved if the stud-
ent participates in cooperation
from their employers.
"Progress on Miller hall is going forward rapidly," Mr. Simmons, who is managing the construction of the new dormitory, said yesterday. "If weather conditions permit, he added, 'the building will be completed by June, 1987.'
Maloney said, "The dishiest employers who cause working students to fail in the University could be the power of the student body."
M.S.C. Twitches Time Away"
"The M.S.C. spends part of its time passing usels bills, part of its time putting itself on the back, and the rest of its time it just fritters away foolishly," said Don Metzer, e38, first speaker on the program. Metzer spoke on "Excess Baggage," as it referred to the student self-government now existing on the Hill. "When the W.S.G.A. orders all bathroom in women in a stewardship is preening too much," he continued. "Why not eliminate some of the excess baggage under which we, as a school, are travelled?" he concluded.
Working Student Problem
"You cannot tell me that a goal part of our 4,006 students stayed home nights, dragged themselves with caffee, and read library books the first two weeks of this month, simply because they had some noble desire to gain a broader education," said Dean Moorhead c38, advocating the adoption of a more diverse set of intensive tests, and grades of passing and non-passing only, in his consideration of "Fabe Goals."
Miller hall, Mrs. Watkins' latest contribution to the University, is to be identical in size, shape, and planning to its sister dormitory, Watkins Hall. We will work on it but a few weeks, the foundation is already completed.
"Those students were working for just one thing, grade! And grades are merely false goals which hinder the real work," she added with edification," he concluded.

Ships Tied Up in Gulf
And Atlantic Ports
New York, Nov. 18.—(UP) The S. S.Washington sailed from here tonight despite insignificant maritime strike, giving ship owners their first major victory since the eastern maritime walkout began. Strikers still claim 275 ships were tied to them in 990 nautical in Atlantic and Gulf ports.

Tugwell Accepts Executive Position
Washington - Resettlement administrator Rexford G. Tugwell, whose resignation has been accepted by President Roosevelt, will become vice-president of the American Molluscs company in New York. Dr. W. W. Alexander, assistant resettlement administrator, probably will take over Tugwell's government position around January 1. In returning to private life, Tugwell, one of the original New Deal principal trainees, will join two other instructors who are also influential educators in the early days of the New Deal. They are Charles W. Causse, president of the American Molluscs company, and A. A. Berle junior director.
Tugwell's resignation was no surprise. Washington has been gossiping for months that the early-bird former professor at Columbia University had left government services. He beere much of the attack that Republicans made against the New Deal during the presidential campaign and a friends said the only reason Tugwell did not want to quit fire.
The White House released Tug-well's letter of resignation and President Roosevelt's acceptance while Tug-well was in Memphis. He said that Alexander would probably succeed him as resentment dissipation who would fill his post as the Undersecretary of Agriculture.
The initiation banquet will be held at the Colonial Tea room this evening at 6.30. All members and pledges are required to be present.
