Perhaps some of this year’s economy can be made along the lines of decoration. Simplicity designed to camouflage the harsh interior of Recreation Hall should be the purpose of decoration, rather than the creation of an expensive fairyland. Although the student body thrills* to the knowledge that a nationally known dance band will play for its functions, it soon forgets this passing charm and looks deeper for more than a famous name. The quality of the music is the deciding factor of a band’s popularity and the success of a dance after the excitement has all died down. Fortunately for the students, uncontrolled checking practices are a thing of the past. The times are gone when a student was forced, by circumstances, to pay exorbitant fees for checking that was very poor. The practice of having regularly employed checkers charging a nominal sum is one of the milestones in the removal of potty graft from student activities. Indicative of the fact that the fraternities know what the present financial situation holds in store is the large number of houses that are holding joint dances at houseparty. At least not every house is going to proceed like the grasshopper of fable and have a pice deficit to make hideous the hours after revelry, ( ,Loud lamentations arise from the office of the keeper of grounds and buildings. For some time this department has been directing the cultivation of the campus that it might lose the aridity that came of ex cavations for new buildings. With the goal of a well groomed lawn almost a reality, misfortune has now struck. Thoughtless students who, insist on playing football on ground sacred to the appearances of the campus and those who must take short cuts across beau- tiful vistas of grass are the cause of the present sad ON LETTERS Believe it or not everybody likes to get mail. That may explain the fact that even such word/y-wjse per- sons as publications editors like to receive comments, suggestions, upbraidings, compliments, and other liter ary contributions besides the stacks of annoying prop aganda letters that request the aid of the editors in sponsoring democratic clubs, republican clubs, birth control clubs, the green shirt, movement, and so on. Letters arc interesting—especially those addressed to a newspaper. They can hurt. They can make warm, happy sensations run up and down the spines of people for whom they are intended. They can teach lessons. But most of all they are a help in giving the editor a well-rounded picture of all the things that are going on about him. * \ Especially welcome are letters of controversial subjects when they contribute something, to the building up of one side or the other. Their appearance in the columns of this paper arc reasonably assured if they fulfill two simple requirements. First of all they should be writton in recognizable English—experience has taught that there are such beings as ignorant under graduates who have thick fingers as well as skulls. The second condition is one of good faith. A signature means a lot these days on a letter even if its exchange value on a check is prnctically nil. Police Car 78 ALFRED W. HESSE JR.

How sad, how sad that a few of the more wayward souls should partake all too freely of whiskey-sours, highballs, cocktails, gin-fizzes, beer, and other alleged drinks! Well, anyhow one of the aforementioned became en amoured of a winsome lass outside the Hotel Statler and wended his precarious way in pursuit. Lam posts, taxicabs, pigeons, streetcars, all sorts of ob stacles arose to come between him and his find, but grimly he carried on . . . until at last he fell in the street exhausted ... to rise and fall and rise again to fa 11... crying, "I gutter ... I gutter ...” and now he’s going to sewer for damages! , Mao P. Kaplan '34 We spent three hours the other day watching a man giving a manicure. ‘He was standing right across from the Library tenderly coercing slices of reluctant wood from the top of one of the splendid additions in tho line of posts. Oh, there were lots of great big men giving manicures—and boring holes—and putting tiny chains through the little holes. And when they finished they all joined hands and rather boisterously, we thought, sang "Wring around the wrosy” ... and mamma, bimeby some other men in pretty blue uni forms came and danced and sang too , .really, Augustus, it was splendid entertainment. Oh, quite. Did yon go to the mass meeting? Did you see the Chi O's with Helen (call me Franklin D.) Hoover at the head make an entrance? And Johnny McAndrews dirty-looking the Frosh? And didn’t you think that Woody did a nice job of it, until that last, dulcet phrase which swept out over the hushed crowd, that whispered, that single Vallee-Crosby-Columbo-Dot Johnson word—"Goodnight'. . .” Now we know who really did the announcing for the local station! Here’s one we bet you hayen’t heard. There’s a Freshman in town who likes Spanish. He thinks it's great, and gets all he can from it. He has it so often that he dreams about it. His whole future is built around that, one thing. Yessir/he. told: a-pal of ours that he liked Spanish—-because -.there was iron in' it. Steel our stuff will you! Nuts.''.- He bolted ...!

Root, of Bethlehem, was re-elected treasurer at the same time. <, Speaking Of Books "Red Smoke,” by Isaac Don Levine No less an authority than President Hoover says that there are more min erals in the State of Montana than in the entire Soviet republic. "Red Smoke” portrays tho tragedy of the Five Year Plan—the tragedy of try ing to make a vast industrial state out of with a lack of raw ma terials and transportation. “The Fortress,” by Hugh Walpole This is, the third volume of a quar tette picturing an English family from the early eighteenth through the Victorian era. More romantic than the Forsytes—the Herries were yet a part and parcel of England and Judith was more Herries than gypsy. “Josephus,” by Lion Feucbtwanger One of the most widely read novels pi the nineteenth century in - the Unit ed. States .-was Lew Wallace’s "Ben Hur” perhaps because of its pres entation of biblical scenes. "Joseph us” —part novel and part history— goes back to biblical times in pre senting the life of the Jewish his torian of bible times, against a color ful -background and bringing out the for existence of the Jewish people. ‘‘Owen DeYoung,”' by Ida M.

Revenge would be sweet after fifty years of grinning and bearing it.

Nearly fifty men, who % are promi nent on the campus, have been stung ders how. long we. can continue to draw on public spirited men of ability to leave their private positions of re sponsibility for the public good. Mr. Young is a striking example of this for he has spent weeks and months of his time both at home and abroad solving public financial problems. “Through the Hawse Hole” By Florence B.
