If straws show which way the wind blows, the recent blizzard hasn't gotten away so very big with most of the knowledge seekers. One can drop in on most anybody's conversation and listen to how he or she carefully paced the weather man.
Deacon Ground Hog Fumbles Near Goal
It does seem like a shame that just when folks had started to roll the tennis courts and some of the fresh water enthusiasts were already dickering for a canoe, Deacon Ground Hog had tog and fumble on his own goal line. Why here a week ago you could see all kinds of couples strolling hither and thither, and look at us now! Noth! To do but bush the hill, noth! To bush the hills, go down, do not, three squares up, and hit the hay at nine fifteen—ad limitim. It doesn't seem right, for a fact.
But there's great gobs of comfort in one little co-eds Pollyanna enthusiasm. "Just you wait," she said as she gathered the cushions out of the porch swing. "I'll be all the nicer when I'm sitting here than to wait." You guessed it, gentle reader. We've been talking about the delayed spring all the time!
Hungerford to Decide On Insects Classification
Six small boxes of insects, commonly called water boatmen, but as yet unclassified scientifically, have been received from the Deutschen Entomologisches Museum of Berlin by Prof. H. B. Hungerford of the department of entomology. The insects were sent to protetio in the hope that he might be able to determine the classification of the insects.
In the box is a specimen from Texas, which had previously been sent to Berlin for classification. One specimen from Melbourne, Australia, is a new genus, and one most primitive, Professor Hungerford believes.
"Water life has a fascination for anyone," he said. At present Professor Hungerford is engaged in research work upon a case of water boatman collected from twenty different countries. The water boatman is a small insect that swims upon its back.
The Ell Dorsey Post of the American Legion will hold a meeting Wednesday evening to which all University student members of the American Legion are invited. Entertainment is planned for the visitors.

Attention Flappers!
Now "Flap Out of It"
New York, March 1. (United Press)
If one could presume to give advice to the flapper it would be, "Flap out of it, the flapper."
Buck up and get a little individuality. You are an alike as two dandelions and be becoming as uninteresting as the morning mush.
Try to get away from being one of a type. It is such an old idea. Flappers are the same today as they were in the days when they all wore blue pleated skirts with middy blouses and had red braids. The war rather did away with the uniform idea and the flapper who wants to express her individuality should know that "She who flaps furthest flaps alone."

Had Part in Aphrodite and Also Did the Benda Mask Danees

She had parts in the May fetes and when she left the University she announced to her parents that she intended to become a professional dancer or at least a teacher in dancing. They finally consented to her teaching and later to her professional career.

Igorote Chiefs Say Dog Market of Boguio to Go
Manila, P. I., March 2. (United Press)—Igrotes chiefs, meeting recently with Governor General Leon and Wood, promised they would give up the food that made them famous, for the more high-brow food of goats and sheep. The dog market at Bayuio, in the main provinces of North Luzon island, is one of the show places of the Philippines. Every Sunday morning all the big and little Igrotes gather from their hillside homes and barter in dogs. The leaner the dog, the better show he makes and the higher price he brings. The enter bury the leached dog, fattens him on rice for several days—and then roasts him. “You folks are beyond this primitive, stone-age stuff,” Governor Wood said. Citizens of America think of the Igrotes when they think of the Filipino. And we're not.”

He'll sing for you to the tune of an old guitar
Carl Sandburg specializes on the old songs, the folk-songs,the dreamy, melancholy songs with a bit of lilt in each stanza.
He's a poet also—but not the usual kind. His poems deal with brawn and steel, with sweat and blood, with the crude, active things of life. They are verses of work and knocking about; of love and adventure.
He sings the type of songs that Theodore Roosevelt liked. He writes the type of poetry that Theodore Roosevelt liked.
Versatility is his middle name.
