Freshman Frelic Plans Under Way by Securing Band
Collegiate Yellow Jacket of Kansas City Picked by Managers of Party
The 10-piece Collegiate Yellow Jacket orchestra from Kansas City will be master of orchestras of musical mature at the Freshman College-Varsity which will be held in F. A. U. Hall, Friday, March 30. Such was the encouragement by Mark O'Connell, cE1, and then Brian Ripa, cE1, managers of the musician after completing the concert performances last night. Dick Harper, cE1, has been appointed publicity director by the managers.
"The Collegiate Yellow Jackets have just completed their commitment at the ten room of the Hotel Baltimore," he said. "We were fortunate to obtain them before they departed. The band is under the direction of Hurley Kayce who directed the façade and Quond when it was at its best. We also played at the Piazza in Kuala Lumpur and also at the Família Gell of the Hotel Muralhack." The band was born formerly with Ted Wilson, a piano player was with Paul Wincenty.
The party is scheduled immediately after the midenovement examinations before the kaster vacation. Consequences convinced that attitude should change advantage of this party in celebration. The party is being given more than four hours later this year than it was last year. The date first year was Feb. 25.
"To avoid a deficit, which has been so characteristic of the Preakness races of the past Greek years, we have arranged our arrangements for procuring an award given by said O'Connell. The prize will be combined with the prize. Varisio in accordance with the well-known combination class partner and Variais recently won, to ensure that there will be no Varisio in the following night, and every time they present."

The Grandmothers, by Glenway Wescott
Through the eyes of a grandson of today Glenway Wescott recaptures a segment of American life, life as it was lived by the pioneers in the days following. This experience he presents his opinion of the personality and character of the mid-western settler as he was yesterday and is today.
Handling his material in much the same manner as does John Gwalworthy in his "Forsyth the Saga," Wescott reveals the happenings of the Tower family in chronological order beginning with the migration from New York to Wisconsin and concluding with the modern activities of the grandson, Alwyn.
A man came up, too loose of toon
And said no good to her;
She did not blush as Saxons do,
Or turn upon the cur;
As the name implies the central figures of the plot are the grandmothers—two of them, Grandpa and Miss Martha—and the portrayal of these two characters—courageous, sturdy, hard-working, yet subject to the weaknesses and sentimentalities of their sex—that Wesson attained that perfection with which he is credited.
Grandmother Tower secretly in love with her husband's brother is the dominating personality.

What Men Worship
By Peggy Huftman
She is just a wooden Chinese idol. I saw her first some time ago while making a tour through the Spooner-Thayer museum. Some ancient things have always taken hold of my fancy, especially if they are connected with different modes of ancient worship.
Ralph Hodgson.
I had wandered about amlessly inspecting the other items of interest, fingered the silken sheen on my right hand, and tranced iridescently in bits of jade, and finally straying back into the small alcove I found her. Whether she is Buddha or not, I do not know. I only know she attaches that manner that gave me a creepy and unrealy feeling.
Standing before her and staring at her coolly, I let my imagination have full away. Several cen- turies ago she was a member of the Mormon made great ceremonies in her behail, and sacrifices had been laid upon her altar. Did she miss these evidences of her rule, did her heart yearn for the times gone by? How could she—she was only made
Why had she been worshipped? Why had she been set up as an example before the people, why had they been under her heuray, under the spell of a devil? Why had they been wooden idol. A wooden idol worshipped as a god!
Yet dimly I could perceive why she had held hold with primitive people. There was an exotic power behind the half-closed, heavy-lidded eyes, a fascination with her outstretched hands, matching musket with her outstretched, empty hands.
Bould loose about her throat. I liked her purple showy gown And flashing velvet coat.
On a sudden impulse I grasped her hand in mine. With a shudder I found it grusely cold, hard and smooth. For several moments I held it, and releasing it, I had an uncanny feeling that she was looking into my mind, and reading my very thoughts. Foolish, of course!
She fawned and whined, "Sweet gentleman,
A penny for three tries!"
—But oh, the den of wild things in
The darkness of her eyes!
Turning to go, I tossed a flower lightly into her outstretched palm eyes. Was it only imagination again, or did I really see a flicker of an eye-lid, and a deepening of her mocking smile?
The Gypsy Girl
"Come try your skill, kind gentlemen,
A penny for three tries!"
Some threw and lost, some threw and won
a ten-a-pen prize.
She was a tawny gypsy girl,
A girl of twenty years.
I liked the flaring yellow scarf
I liked her for the lumps of gold That jingled from her ears;
She fawned and whined, "Sweet gentleman
A "Short" Tale By Marguerite Lescher
DOCTOR Short was "Shorty" *h* husband, and that is the only way I ever heard him referred to. It seemed that he was an eye, ear, nose, and throat specialist, and made a great deal of money. He was quiet, and disapproved of some of his wife's acquaintances. He was not interested in social fun, and attended them only when "Shorty" made it impressive. This story, however, is not about the doctor.
I met "Shorty" at a luncheon. Her friend was giving the luncheon for us and had telephoned her to come and help entertain us. After we had waited some time for "Shorty" our hostess decided to go shopping. We went to the roof garden where we ate to eat, and there was "Shorty" waiting for us.
"You thought you were going to get out of feeding me, didn't you?" she exclaimed to our hostess. "You might have known better, Elizabeth, than to have expected me to turn down a free meal."
Mrs. Short was a plump little woman. She wore her hair brushed back straight from her rather low forehead. When she was talking, she looked directly at her hearer with her clear blue eyes. She was smartly dressed in a tightly fitted black satin jacket and had long blonde hair in city, and was interested in any form of amusement that would keep her away from home. She gambled at bridge and was not averse to drinking.
After luncheon we motored to her home under the pretext of seeing her five year old daughter, who was a miniature of her mother. In reality, she had promised the gentleman of our party some straight whiskey that her husband had secured by virtue of his profession.
While the rest of us were enjoying ice-water, our besties told a very amusing incident about Mrs. Burton, who had been drinking as he was to her gambling at the bridge. She often went to card-pairs in the afternoon, but would hurry home to her husband when he had dinner, so he would not know she had been away.
On one occasion, it seems, she had attended a bridge party where "spiked" punch was served. She drank too much. As she returned home before her husband did, she changed her dress and went out preparing dinner when the doctor arrived home. He asked her where she had been. She answered that she had not left the house. Then he asked her where she was going and she answered that she planned to spend the evening at home. She wondered at his curiosity, but soon found out about it, for his next question was:
"Well, what do you have your hat on for?"
The Drug Peddler
A group of coe-ed sat on a bed in the room of a sorority house indulging in the popular pastime of college students—bull festing. The topics of men, women and children had haunted and conversation had turned to bootlegging.
The idea was hard for the girls to believe and the argument for some minutes on it, finally discarding the idea.
"Yes," said one girl, speaking with the authority of who has ones in information, "and liquor isn't all that's bootlegged on this campus either. Why, somebody told me that every day there is a man on the hill peddling drugs. Can you imagine it?"
Several days later on my way up the Hill I noticed a man half a block ahead of me whom I immediately classified as a "suspicious character." He was somewhat roughly clad and his clothes didn't match. His hat was a worn derby while his overcoat was of the service type and his trousers were a faded shade of green. He was leaning against a wall and he looked down, awkwardly smiling. Few people were coming off the bill at that hour but I noticed that he stopped all the men and said something to them. At once I decided he was a drug-pedder and marvelled at his nerve in stopping people so prominently.
I, myself, was inclined not to believe such a thing trock place on our campus but somehow the thought of it is so ridiculous.
As I drew near I slowed up, timing myself so as to reach him at the same time he stepped on a "K" machine. I literally pricked up my meter and pressed the button, which he use in approach? I wandered. I listened more closely.
"Howdy!" he said to the "K" man. "Do you have
old clothes to sell? I pay you a good price
for them."
JOHNIZE SAYS
I don't like to see a student do anything in a prayful way—unless to pray.
Coolidge says that nothing the farmer uses in farming is made more expensive by tariff. He asserts that even in the present era, tariffs are rising.
It would be a fine world if people would live up to the epitaphs on their tombstones.
You can preach murder all you want to as long as you preach the murder of the right people. "The barbarous Bulgarians; the fine, stubborn Young Rebels; the crazed Nazis." Do you remember hearing that during the war?
Lobbying consists largely of being courteous to the right people in the right way.
I once had the pleasure of reading the Congressional Record ten hours a day for two years.
I used to know a minister up in Des Moines who liked to compare Des Moines with Athens. Same size and everything. The only difference, he said, was that Athens had some great men.
Urban dwellers often have a notion that it is vulgar to be interested in anything. In New England they always tell a rough-nock by his hearty laughing.

ishing. Of course we are still in the primitive stages of retrogression, but retrogration it is, nevertheless, as evinced by the increase of facial decoration while that of the body correspondingly diminishes. One English writer even accuses our eyes of being like behind a black cliff, and perhaps this is true. But certainly it is preferable to hide the entire figure beneath bolds of silk or calice. If the present trend continues we shall soon have with us once more the truly old-fashioned gift of modest simplicity.
On the Cosmic Urge
(Continued from page 2)
so I knew better than to ask him if he had heard me, or if he was going to do it. I just told him that if he didn't accelerate a little, he'd have the heavy winter comforts to carry down. He sighed and poked off upstairs. He got all the kids to help him. He took the chair. I told him to lift the hibiscus sweep his room, and looked meaningly at the pantry. He recollected that he had get crumbs on my nice clean floor, and decided not to argue with me while I was on the war-path. So he proceeded slowly upstairs with the broom, having another kid get him the dust pan. Then he got a martyred feeling and began to set up the bed that Ma had been after him for months to set up. I came up just then and asked why he was so upset. He scrubbed the floor. He got scared then and tried to act as if he had meant all along to scrub it. And he did.
I went down and scrubbed two more rooms. Pa came in, and Ma came home. She told him to the room where he lived. He asked, "Where's Hennessy?" I acridly announced that I had set him to cleaning his room and positively would not have him bothered. Pa just said, "Well, I'm going to Gawka's sake don't disturb him!" and went out.
I swept the upstairs hall and the stairway, and put Myrt to work peeling potatoes. After while Henryn got through. Both he and the room had a very chastened look. It was sweep, scrubbed, aired and dusted, and the mattress beaten. But Henryn didn't protest. He knew better, after all. I took my shoes and made the doors floors. Next time I get a spell like this he may think to go fishing in time.
And now I am tired. Tomorrow I'll be too stiff to move. But what can I do when I get a Cosmic light?
