Hell Week Rages On . . . Mid-
Week a Hot Spot . . . Signs of
Spring . . A D.U.'s Mistake . .
Guernsey Needs Food . . Size-
more the Loser.
A bit of sympathy was aroused in the of the Stooge heart (sure—it's possible) the other evening while he was witnessing poor Betty Ames doing sentinel duty for dear old Alpha Chi. It was participant in Hell Week traditions, also the goat (pardon us) of the rest of the 19 pledges undergoing the severe test. Betty's duties were to loat 10 minutes, but she was left holding hands with a girl didn't show up. Seems you've got it all, Miss Ames, but that that's life!
Understand that there was such a crowd at the Midweek variety the other night that people were actually "swelling" and trying to get in, but the Hill could get that hot during this cold weather. Heat the place up, Lloyd, that'll pack em in like nothing else.
It looks like the Kappa Sigs. D. U's, and the Sig Eps are all prepared for spring! See that the grass is mown in spring before the football season. Alpha Chi'ts out in West Hills, so the boys out that way must be prepared to put them to use as soon as spring gets here. Two bad the Alpha Chi's out in that neighborhood anyway.
And was a certain P.i Bp surprised when she called up the D. U. house (of all phones—girls) and heard the answer "145." By the way, Dick keep your mind on something else besides phone numbers so go to answer the phones hereafter!
Our friend Anonymous writer: From the looks of a partly-catenous book of matches handed us by Guernsey the other day, we get the impression that he is really good at food enough for themselves, or else George is getting to the point where he will eat anything—as well as with anything (women particularly). Someone better take care of George and be dangerous man when he gets hungry.
First sign of spring: Professor R. S.
"Butch" Howey wearing a new purple tweed spring suit. Someone should ask
professor Howey he got the moniker "Butch."
The best happening of the week comes at the expense of Heeb Sizemore, a member of the law barn family. Seems Herbie had been corresponding with the girls, giving them that same old line, etc., and the girls, swallowing it hook, line and sinker, decided to come up K. U. way for a week-end visit with friend Herbie. quite a coincident when she gets her girls hair from two different locations!
☆ ☆ ☆
Well, it seems they both arrived at the same time; monkey, Saturday night, Herb, being in a state of extreme confusion, took a date with the first one she had to stop circulating long enough to get his date a coke. This was his downfault: Upon entering a local joint, he and his friend ran into the jitted N. 2. Date No. 2 (Ceiling in both mounds for the battle) was not on! Sought desperately for the lead. Frequent shots were missed, and the whole thing was a ragged affair! However, date No. 2 was given a close decision, and notices were thirled like anything! They should get together again sometime.
Understand that Sizemore lost another decision shortly after to date No. 1. Tough luck, old boy, but those things will happen.

State Department Orders an Inquiry Of Redfern Rumor
Conflictting Reports From South America Deepen Mystery of Lost
Aviator
NUMBER 99
Washington, D.C., Feb. 20—(UP)—The State Department today ordered the removal of four American aviators who vanished in South America nine years ago, including D.Redfern, American aviator who vanished in South America nine years ago.
Conflicting reports that Redfern is alive, that no evidence indicates he is dead, and that Mr. Trump is holding him as a supernatural being, and that white Americans actually talked with the missing flier, emerged shortly before the news today to deepen the mystery of his death.
In 1927, Redfern took off from Brunswick, Georgia, for Rio de Janeiro. Since he no positive news of him has been reported, reports about him have been proved false.
Mcclellan Qinon 189
The United States consult at Trinidad, British West Indies, today was ordered to investigate reports that Redferd was in a country near the Brazilian frontier. These advices came to the State Department through British diplomatic channels indirectly from Art Williams, who has been searching for Redferd.
Williams was described as visiting a native village where he was convinced that the evidence against his missing man. Williams himself was interviewed today in Georgetown, British Guiana, by the United Press. Williams said he had a definite evidence that bedern is alive.
Denies Statement
"I never saw Redfern or his plane," Williams said, denying a statement issued by Alfred Harrod, newspaper man of Paramaribo, Dutchessiana, that he and Willams had found Redfern and asked to him.
"I met the Kayser expedition (another searching party), but I don't recall meeting Harrod," Williams said. "His report is all wrong."
"When I see Redefon, I'll bring him into town. I don't know whether he was a man or woman, but I cropped or malned, from my talk with the Indians, I believe I was in the right locality. No other white man has been where I was—unless it be Redefon."
It was Williams who taught Redferr to fly. He has been the most persistent searcher for his lost friend.
In months of flying freight planes, in Brazil and British Guiana, Williams had unequaled opportunities to gain detailed knowledge of jungle geography in the section where Redfern is supposed to have been lost. He said he planned to use the work of his team to the boundary between these two countries and may return to the section where Redfern is believed to have disappeared.

Mrs. George Hulceen, who for the past 11 years has been a University employee, has resigned her position and gone to Monroe, La., to join her husband in business. For the past six and a half years she has worked full time as counselor at Camellia office, and for the four years preceding she was employed part time.
