Green Begs 'Rebels' To Return To A.F. of L.
Tampa, Fl. Nov. 16—(UP) President William Green, gained a "no surrender" edict to John L. Lewis and his colleagues today, but begged the "rebels" to return to Florida for support of their ful and many settlement of all feuds. He made his plea in formally opening the 56th annual convention of the Federation—the most momentous one in organized labor's history. In addition, than an hour the union chieftain faced his tense audience. Alternately pleading for peace in the ranks of the nations toilers and shouting defiance of those "cone" of six personal and political ambition.
Green pointed out that the depression is over. Labor stands on the threshold of a better day, which would be hustlered by union leaders to listen to the "humble voice of men and women in factories and shops pleading for better working conditions" and said the door to labor peace will was open because "rebels" wanted to come through.
Stepping easily into the role of a stern-school master, Green then almost screamed the Federation defiance of the insurgents. Waving a clenched fist in the air, tossing his head agnibly he said,
"Woe be it to him who strikes a blow at the heart of labor by driving a wedge into it—dividing it."

Flash! The Theta pleges gotta mouse. I didn't learn whether they really got one through the mail or not. It might be that in either case it's a good go.
**way the way. I smell a mouse. One of the Sigma Nu boys told me weeks ago that he had broken a date with Isabelle Basha to the Sigma Nu barn dance in order to take some photos that she didn't take the date from him as she had a date with a Beta boy to the Beta party. The Sigma Nu had another date for his party alright, but it was broken by the lady, a Pi Phi, a week before the party, accused of the part of the affair came yesterday afternoon when I learned by phone call to the office of the Dean of Women that the Beta's didn't have a party authorized by that office Upon learning this, Bash said that she really had a fine time, can't figure out what the score is can't figure out what the score is
A few years ago a phone Russian count disturbed the tranquility of the Theta house and took the girls "out for the Count," but last week a magazine peddler hit the best lick and didn't even convince his activities to one house. It seems that Betty Edison received a call saying that Mr. C. L. Friederich was on the first floor of the Theta house. Upon meeting the gentleman, she was told that he had been sent by Betty Lou McFarland and Gertrude field of the Pi Phi house. After accepting his offer to ride up the Hill, Edison subscribed to $8 worth of magazines to aid him in getting points with which to attend some University somewhere, or something. She further gave him the names of several of the other lassies about the Hill, to find out later that she really liked the magazine as all but that he had outsider eyes you can imagine."
The net result of the crusade was: Betty Gibson, $19; Bettie Edison, $8; McFarland, an unknown amount; Gertrude Field got it; Peggy Landon took for $9; he took Peggy Anne Landon for something but nobody knew what; and Betty Schwartz was taken on to lunch by the charming salesman after stating his desire at Notre Dame. Others who were caught in the salesman's dragnet are: Jean Wyatt, Peggy Lynch, Betty Ruth Smith.

Electrician Discusses Jooss Ballet As He Manipulates Lights for Show
Pert little permanented heads perched precariously on the backs of rumble seats and dashing individuals clinging to the running boards of speeding cars are the pet aversion of George, the genial campus cop. George feels that such port heads and dashing individuals are in vast need of training. The department of hospital reports about concessions, bruises and abrasions—and besides, they're violating a campus traffic regulation. George expresses the wish that students would please refrain from such dangerous practices, and declares the intention of enforcing the law to the fullest.
"None of them are out of the twenties and some are young. They are given an examination by Mr. Joos and are told whether they are capable of taking up ballet work or not. Six months later they are given another examination and are told frankly whether they are any good or not. There are no stars, but some of them are given are the prominent parts.*
"Where are you from," was the first question.
Many Nationalities
"New York," was the reply. "I joined the ballet when it came to this country Sept. 29. You realize," he went on, that they are working under different conditions over here. In Europe, they must buy equipment and get used to our stages. They must also give new costumes so that they can better portray to the American mind what they with to express. In Europe, they are appealing to one trend of thought, in America, which is a focus of their whole care for comedy and lighter things, while the European cares more for the art. This is a different audience, however, because you are college people and have been trained to appreciate the finer things." He turned his attention to the stage.
The light flared up as the electrician turned the handle of the light higher to flood the stage in golden light. Then he leaned over his little granddaughter sitting near him and explained the significance of the dance so that the child might understand. It was told so simply and so clearly that all in the vicinity of his spotlight leaned forward eagerly that they would inform the company express his interest. Then he turned and spoke to them answering any questions they might care to ask.
American Mind Different

Cellophane and velvet, satin and grease paint, these were some of the things that formed the background of the Jooseb ballet Thursday night. The ballet required only their hands visible struck out crashing chords that sent the little figures flying over the stage in studied abandon. The spotlights also played a great part in the final results; for example in the "Green Table" when the light turned from white to green as the dancers approached the figure of Death to fade into blackness and an empty stage.

"How do they happen to be on this tour?" was the final question.
"In Paris four years ago, "The Green Table" won the international prize for originality and performance and was thus sent on a trip around the world. The spotlight demanded that he then continued: "We leave America to the Orient, Japan will be our first stop. There is still some discussion as yet to whether or not we will go to Russia because we cannot take any money out of the country, and whether it will be worth while to go to Russia to board and room, I do not know. We leave here tonight for Kansas City, and play Friday night in Des Moines Iowa. Except for the larger cities, we play only one-night stands." The final curtain went down and the spotlight was kept busy playing over the casters as they took their curtain calls.
As the curtains closed for the last time, the electrician stood up stretched, and lighted a cigarette. Another night's work was over.
Cold Epidemic Cycle on Campus Explained
"It's always easy to predict an epidemic of common cold," says Dr. Caranutson of Watkins Memorial hospital. The first and second months of the school year, and the weeks following Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays always are notable for such outbreaks. At the beginning of the fall semester about 4,000 students come into contact with each other and exchange new strains of bacillus. Thanksgiving they have developed an immunity to the University crop of bacteria; then they go home for the weekend, eat too heavily, tooe little, meet new sorts of bacteria and bring them back to the campus and io, another common cold epidemic.
An unusually large number of colds among students was reported
City Dump
Off the main highway, a strangely little by-road curved and twisted at random. Great humps of black soil impeded our progress, and the ugly weeds that were growing in the dirt snapped defiantly as our wheels crushed them. Overhanging branches jolted on until, abruptly, all foliage stopped and we saw ahead of us an expanse of abandoned land.
However, we drove on because the road was too narrow for us to turn around there, and presently we came upon a ludicrous gray shack whose upper side walls leaned in toward one another like four intebiates, in a clumsy effort to maintain an erect position. But this shock had been drunk too long, and it seemed more than a little weary of so much attempted respectability, so that the clownish slatternly print, spawned the white words, "City Dump", and unsteady and overgrown with green mould, the shany hung precariously near the edge of a deep ravine.
At the bottom of the ravine, lau-
thousands of empty cars, bottles,
rags, broken wheels, rusted iron and all sorts of indiscriminate incinerate. The sun signaled to the upturned cars which flashed back their blinding answers, furnishing the only radi-
tion source for the brazen these darts of light offered some relief-by exposing the pitiful things around them, they effaced the land-
for the month of October just past. During that month 150 students were treated for colds, approximately 250 for rhinopharyngitis, and 69 for nasal pharyngitis. Colds always rank first among the illnesses which bring students to the hospital. Infections, pneumonia, tonsillitis hold second place; in October 20 students were treated. Tonsilitis likewise affected 20 persons. Third place in general is held by minor injuries such as sprains caused by falling down stairs, and participating in sports. Stomach upsets come next in January. During October This group includes appendicitis gastitis, and enteritis.
At the present time conditions are gradually settling down to normal at the hospital, only to await the new report of December. M.F.
At the Varsity
scape more by the contrast. The dump, as a whole, had a semblance of grayness, upon closer scrutiny. I perceived in scattered patches, green and brown and sickly yellow blobs of color.
Janet Beecher, the Governor wife, reunited with her long-lost son Tom Brown, gang killer, while Tom's sweetheart, Frances Drake, happily looks on, in a dramatic scene from "I'd Give My Life" which opens today at the Varsity theater.
Across the ravine, structural eruptions of broken board and gummy sack flopped up against the barren slope, and offered only an uncertain protection to the wretched inhabitants dwelling there. This dehumanized group lived there like maggots existing in rotting refuse. The barren slanted at the brown gumy sack flaps covering the paneless windows, and shook the skimmy ribs supporting the slanting roofs.
A dump truck snorted back to the edge of the rubbish trench, and loosed its clattering burden into the space below. When the clamor subsided, several lupine-featured ants jumped up from the mean abode to wait for the departure of the trucks before beginin g their base search for subsistence.

A Corner On Books BY G. V. M.
The Way of a Transgressor by Neyg-
Farson. Harcourt, Brace and
Co, N. Y. 802 pages.
"It's a book, I think, this blooming world,
Which one can read and care for just so long."
Negley Farson cared for all the leading countries of the world and read it in his broadminded way for eighteen years before he decided to retire to write this Anthony Adverse of an adventurer and journalist. He is a famous college athlete from Pennsylvania, civil engineer in London, war agent in Czarist Russia, Royal Air Corp飞艇 in Italy, American Naval Hospital in Europe, extensive world travel—and then he is a foreign correspondent, rushing from London to India, to Egypt, to Poland, to Germany and on, to cover the news of international interest.
Above all Mr. Farson is a journalist. He writes of all his experiences from a purely personal interpretation, photography, journalistic writing and in its journalistic and geographic scope, it is meagre in its literary and personal value.
Green Hills of Africa by Ernest Hemingway. 1935. Charles Scribner's Sons, N.Y., 295 pages.
In the foreword Hemingway gives the justification and scope of this, his latest work. "Unlike many novels, none of the characters or incidents in this book is imaginary. Any one not finding sufficient love interest is at liberty, while reading it to insert whatever love interest he or she may have at the time. The book may also be used to show him absolutely true book to see whether the shape of a country and the pattern of a month's action can, if truly presented, compete with a work of the imagination."
His intention was to write of the hunting trip in the Green Hills of Africa, but in doing so he has more of himself in it than he does of Africa; which is very commendable. He would have written kuthus, sable, etc., but no one could write so effectively, so virality of Heminway as he does himself.
