Vacancies to Be Filled
Italian Commends Skilton
Pettitions to fill these offices must be handed in to Charley Embree, secretary of the Men's Student Council, as soon as possible. Each petition must be accompanied by $12 and $50 checks.

Foreign Musician Is Impressed by "Suite Primeval"
"Pettitlers are urged to attend to this matter immediately," said Ember, "as important problems are being faced." He should be filled as soon as possible.
This noted Italian musician believes that American composers are neglecting a fertile source when they do not go more to Indian music.
Prof. C, S. Kilton's work with Indian music is known and valued in Europe, according to Alfrefo Casellia in a recent interview in the Detroit News. Ms. Casellia appeared recently with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra in the role of guest-conductor, composer, and pianist.
"In this country," he said, "you have not yet commenced to realize on a great storehouse of music at your door. I mean Indian music. This is what I have done great things with it. Skilton has done great things with it. I have heard his 'Suite Primal' only on the phonograph, but I am immensely impressed with it. Jazz is, in my opinion, the best thing it is surprising that the Indian has not influenced American music."
As a result of an extensive study of student opinion in regard to the value of campus organizations at Ohio State, a plan has been proposed to dissolve the Men's Student Council and give its powers to an organization with which it is a representative group of all the organizations on the campus.

One day, by means of a crystal ball, he is permitted to return to the place and time in which he was living previously.

Finders Are Keepers,
But Don't Want to Be
The old maxim of "finders keepers losers wowers" would be at leas partially disproved if some of the weeping losers would take time to delve into the boxes of found articles preserved at the business office.
Be it said to the credit of careful students that a great number of lost and found articles find their proper owners through the medium of the business office, which is according to the latest statistics. However, five months of school with their finding and loosings have resulted in an interesting collection

It is urged by Karl Khooz, chief clerk, that students seeking lost articles call at the business office.
Among the most conspicuous of the atrays are a valuable watch and a pin. There are glasses, fountain pens, paras, penicals, dorines and gloves in great quantities.

Requests for Grades at Registrar's Office Show Little Interest
Reports of All Schools Handler This Year for First Time by One Force
There has been no rush at the registrar's office for grades, according to George O. Foster, registrar. Apparently the majority of the students have already secured their grades from their instructors.
It is a rule that students must get their grades on the day their letters are announced. If they come in the day before or the day following their grades will not be given to them. This rule is enforced to prevent confusion in the office. The letters for classwork and homework will be issued a bulletin of the Kansas every evening. On Friday, Feb. 11, grades will be given from M to R.
The grades for fraternities and sororites are being made out and lists of those eligible for initiation at the major organizations will be ready soon.
This is the first year that the grades for all the schools are given out over the counter in the registrar's office. While it makes a little more confusion in the office and is more work for the office force, it saves time and is providing more satisfactory grades in years according to Mr. Foster.
After this week an hour will be announced for each day when students who did not get their grades when they were turned in can get them if they wish them.
Rare Plant Specimens Counterfeited in Europe
Nearly ten years ago, Brother G. Arsene of the Christian Brothers religious order, and enthusiastic botanical collectors, brought the plant to France, extensive collections of Mexican plants.

Puppets Are Real Interest Center in Sarg Company
Marionettes' Life Is Easy Dolls Do Not Worry About Strings and Parts
A Kanaan reporter spent a pleasant hour behind the skids at Robin's Burg, where Sergio uniqueness were playing. And it was an unusual experience too, for there the interest was not in the people who travel to the company, but in the surprises they mispeach.
Marianettes are an ancient thing, but in them Mr. Surg has developed models which are almost human. Even closeup they appear real, move as though they were alive, and are made up as convincingly as are real actors and actresses. In only one respect Marianette is different from the stage—there is no display of temperament on their part before they appear in their scenes.
Dolls Take Life Easy
They are content and happy, hanging most complacently from books fastened upon a platform above the stage. Nor are they much interested in what is taking place around them. All Baba, Naginatir, his wife, or his son, attend school, and mind their own business. They don't even seem to worry if the numerous strings which control their actions and their fate are in proper order. Contrary to popular belief, Mr. Sarg does not travel with his famous puppets. He remains in New York conceiving new shows while his current production is on the road. He has however, a group of talented persons in his company which is manned by five instructors, three men, three women, are professional actors, each having had years of experience on the professional stage. It is necessary that they live the parts of the puppets they would if they were appearing whom they manage as skillfully as upon the stage. Each puppetster, as he is called, has managed all the activities of their own business.
Mr. Searle, besides being manager of the company, is really responsible for the show, for it is he who designs and constructs the puppets properties, and effects after Mr. Searle's introduction. The middle aged man, is a true artist as is evidenced by his work with he puppets.
Searle Real Artist
Mr. Searle appears to live just for his puppets, and it is them that one hears about instead of members of the company. He, however, as well as many others, always stakes out an aesthetic about the audiences here. They like to play before college audiences, on this trip they are showing in many college towns. Recently they played in Ames, Iowa, and from here they traveled to a town where a normal school is located.

Her address to men and women was unusually strong and could not help setting those who think it thinking.' Ted Shultz, Y. M. C.

She deals quite frankly and with厚度 with a rather delicate subject. Doctor Swift has a profound confidence in the youth of today and does not come as a de

Hell Week Pranks Must Be Curbed Says Dean of Men
Arrest of Fraternity Men After Dangerous Prowl Leads to Advice by Dawson
An arrest of 13 fraternitypledges last night was resultant of hell-week activities in which the men were engaged.
Shooting Might Occur
The men were arrested about 2 n. m., today by police who were called to a store owner whose suspicions had been turned off of his store. They were taken to the police station where they were detained but released this morning after their names had been taken and their records filed. Frank Dawson, most student adviser.
According to Dean Dawson steps must be taken to prohibit such activities by fraternity elites. "According to the storeowner," and Professor Dawson, "it was only by chance that he did not shoot at them. Usually he keeps a gun near at hand for such cases, but fortunately it never came to him. He told you if he had bad one at hand his could have shot at them.
"Other activities which they inflict in at late hours, provoking around as they do, are dangerous and the next time a shooting is liable to occur which might be fatal to the once involved.
"Several complaints have been made of the midnight prowling which has been going on. The police have reports of students proving around chicken houses and batten late at night, as disturbing the poems in wordly."
Meeting Will Be Held
"It is not as much a problem arising from the trouble it causes to offensils, as it is one of protecting the students from harm which might come to them through their nightmares. It is so easy for them to be mistaken for burglars and the like when they go into the house to do the things they have had to do." A meeting is to be called soon to discuss hell-week activities. "It is certain that something must be done, some steps taken, to prevent such occurrences that might lead to serious consequences," said Dean Dawson, an unable to say what action will be taken at the meeting.
