"Cross-Word Puzzleitis" Infests University, Displacing Students' Interest in Traditional Subjects
The victim receives the bag from his compartment and after a week's incubation, this same student becomes in raining maniac. And all destruction can be laid at the feet of the victim. Franklin—the cross-ward puzzle.
*Cross-word puzzles* is "is especially prevalent in universities. The groups of earliest students sprawling over our campus and in all the buildings around it are the deepest mysteries of nature study or the unsolvable math problem, but are frequently looking for a ten or eleven-year-old Professor in the department of

Commons Will Try to Supply Patrons' Desires
Suggestion Box Installed
A "Suggestion Box" has been placed beside the office door in the University Commons, for the use of its patrons. The purpose of the box is this: If anyone has a favorite dessert all he has to do is to put it in the box, if someone wants it into the box, and if the request is possible it will be supplied.
The idea was suggested by Chancellor Lindley, who saw the same idea used in the Stratton hotel in Puffalo, while on a recent visit there, and he thought the idea a good one for the University Commons.
In speaking of the suggestion of the Chancellor Mrs. McClaurey, director of the University Commons calls: "I am glad to help the student who is making a request for the chancellor's suggestion, ideas as to food, service, or anything within reason will be welcomed. In order that we may be sure of the sincerity of our request, I have received that the slips be signed, and they will receive prompt attention."

Statistics show that the scholastic standard of the eastern universities has dropped four per cent. Ditch diggers drive in the quotations of Shakespeare, strikers fail to stalk students to diploma, students fall to date.
What is the world coming to?
At the Concert
Louis Grauveur proved himself not only artistic but gracious as well, when he appeared in recital first evening at Robinson auditorium. Ms. Grauveur displayed an excellent technicolor symphonic musical understanding.
By Jacqueline Stice
His program was varied and interesting—and pleasingly lacking in many of the stereotypical baritone selections which are frequently used in orchestral works. His control was excellent, his enunciation clear and distinct, and his tenons resonant and powerful. All of his selections were colored by his vivid personality, yet there was a charm to his music and reserve about his stage presence.
His German songs, opening with the full, round tones of Laazs's "Ea muss ein wunderbares seil," including Schumann's "Roebeelchen, Roseen," and Bertolt Brecht's "gehende Sonne," and ending with the brilliant rather tempestuous "O lieblie Wangen." The second group—of old British songs—was colorful in contrasting moods and gave Mr. Gravesne an opportunity to play his music which makes him the popular artist he is. His French songs were likewise skillfully done, from the dainty delicacy with which he sang "Petite Main" by Sai-Suad to the unusual lyricality of Moehler's "Vision fugitive."
The graceful ease with which he sang his last group of English and American songs made them the favorites of the program, especially his 'Heroes' Heroes, her exquisite beauty sound not noticeably.
Mr. Graveur was gracious with his encores. He sang Handel's "Largo" with a delightfully coarse tone, the Birdie' Courting Song" by Hallett and the Singer's song, His "Toreader Song" from "Carmen" displayed a volume and a depth which many of the other selections did not offer an opportunity to show. His last encore, "Tommy Lady," was one of his individual terpetitions.
Mr. Graveur's accomplice, Arpand Sandor, had a powerful touch, but he was lacking somewhat in the reserve force and restraint which mark the artist. His interpretation of the Brahms' "Intermezzo" was rather colorless, but he made a vivid picture of Bela Bartok's "Hungarian Peasant Song." He famously sang "Ascension," as an encore, he played D'Bussey's "Second Arabene" with a pleasing charm and grace.
The concert was unusually interesting from the standpoint of personality. Both Mr. Gravure and Mrs. Gravure graced the audience with charming in their presentations:

Department of Art and Speech to Give Modern Play Series
First Play to Be Presented Is "The Pigeon" by Galsworthy;
No Date Set
A series of outstanding modern dramas which have received marked reception in metropolitan theatrical circles recently will be presented under the auspices of the department of dramatic art and speech, recording to its announcement made by Pro. Allen Coady, head of the department.
The first of these plays to be presented will be the "Pigeon," by John Galsworthy. Others being considered are Sutton Vane's "Outward Board," an outstanding musical play, and Eugene Onille's "Anna Christie"; "The Show-Off," a recent play by George Kelly and one of the best modern light comedies, and one of the recent productions of the Moscow art theater, which will have its premiere on "He Who Gets Shapiro's Barrie" new play "Mary Rose" and Sam Bernilis "The Joost" are also under consideration for production.
The plays will be cast from the faculty, townpeople and students of the University in general, according o Professor Crafton.
No dates for the plays will be set far in advance, the members of the department working on the theory that the play should be presented when it has reached a sufficient degree of hair and smoothness. "The plays are to be presented through an order to be presented on a set date," said Professor Craton.
"We want those who are interested in the drama to benefit by these productions. They are an innovation in the University and will have served their purpose in entertainment to say nothing about their presenting the theatre, London stages or London stages in our own limited way," said Professor Crafton.
The plays will be presented in the Little Theater in Green hall, which since the installation of new lighting equipment is adequate for small productions. No admission will be charged and everyone is invited.
During the last month a cast has been working on the Galloway fantasy, "The Pigeon." The ply "which is appropriate for the Christmas season," will be presented Dec. 15 and 16.
The candidates for the women's tie sound who were retained after the first elimination, have been divided into four teams of fifteen members.

All firing in the inter-team matches will be fired in the
