Beginning Saturday, March 30, and continuing every Saturday until May 18, those unfortunates who receivedsingle F's in one or more courses will be offered an opportunity to retrieve their failures through taking conditionexaminations.

By a recent vote of the Faculty, the customary system of giving these examinations at the end of the term hasbeen varied so as to extend the period over the entire remaining Saturdays in the semester. Students who do nottake the examinations at the scheduled time will forfeit the right to any further chance.

Next week copies of the schedule will be sent to every student in the Institute, together with an application card.Those who are entitled to any condition or postponed final examinations must list the examinations they are to takeon the application card and return it to the Records Office, Room 3,106, by March 12.

The fateful news of the results will be mailed in the form of reports on the Saturday-immediately followingthe ones on which the examination takes place.

Bright Soph is Answerto a Maiden's Prayer

Thanks to the brilliance of oneperson most of the members inthe Sophomore English Optionclass, which met in Room 2-390last Saturday noon, were ableto pass the usual fifteen minutequizz which is inflicted uponthem. At the beginning of theperiod Professor Penfield Robertswrote the day's question on theboard: "What considerable epi-sode in Victorian thought do youassociate with Newman? "

After the customary first fewminutes noise had subsided, thestudents were all deep in thoughtwhen suddenly a voice piped up,"I don't quite understand thequestion. Do you mean that weshould explain the Oxford Move-ment thoroughly."' Since thatwas the correct answer to thequestion you can imagine the em-barrassment of Professor Robertsand the delight of a~llthe otherstudents. Well, as Barnum said,"One is born every minute:'

SUCCESSFUL RIOTINGTECH SHOW 1929 has passed on to the realm of by-gones. With

it has gone much adverse criticism, and from it has been gainedmuch experience. The efforts this year were an innovation-en-tirely changed from the old idea of imitating the costly and im-pressive musical comedies, the production was made up of shortskits and chorus numbers.

A bad impression of the new idea was made at the outset. Atthe first performance of the Show before Prom, there were a num-ber of difficulties. Intensive work had begun hardly three weeksbefore, and there was much room for improvement. Added to thiswas the fact that the show that evening was late in starting, thedelay hurrying the players and resulting in cutting a number ofthe acts.'

General disapproval of the production was voiced. Surely itwas no better in any'respect than that of previous years, and manythought it considerably Worse. Pessimists looked for completefailure, and Optimists were doubtful that it would ever become inany measure a successful affair. While the cast was working hardall this past week, it looked as if another activity had failed.

And then came a pleasant surprise. At both the Friday andSaturday night performances, the "Sold Out" sign was hung outat John Hancock Hall, which meant that nearly a thousand'sawthe show each night. Audiences which had come to the showskeptical and scoffing stayed to enjoy the evening. It was neces-sary at times to be somewhat charitable, but on the whole the castprodu6ed an excellent show. The novel idea is sound, and experi-ence is a good teacher.

The managers, coaches and cast of Tech Show have done some-thing of which they may feel justly proud. Not at all perfect,"A Tech Riot" came up from a poor start to finish in a truly credit-able manner. The chorus particularly deserves much praise, fortheirs was a smooth exhibition, showing good training. Packedhouses, the goals which have been striven for so vainly in pastyears, indicate the public's approval. We may expect much in thefuture.

The acceptance by Technology of this year's arrangementspoint definitely to an end to the old Junior Week. Junior Promand Tech Show have been more successful this winter than theyever were in the spring. The managers of both affairs reportfinancial solvency. While students generally criticized JuniorWeek last year, they are favorably inclined towards the 1929 plan.There is no reason for not making this plan a permanent one.

UNCLASSIFIEDI N catalogue form the Institute has listed the various technical

courses and their various options and other variations.There is, however, no listing or classifying of the very genu-

ine benefit and pleasure derived by the students from the associa-tion with the professors. These men who are in every case at thetop in their particular work are so eminently satisfying from everystandpoint to the student body. Of course there are peersonal likesand dislikes as there are bound to be in every form of community,but viewed and judged in the calm light of impersonality the pro-fessor-student attitude is extra-curriculum of the highest order.

The real and ever-present assistance that the professors ren-der at all times from discussing whole-heartedly with an eagerfreshmen the possibility of making gold from mercury to the coun-seling of a senior on his life-work is as fresh and enthusiastic andthoughtful on the thousandth repetition as it was on the first. Noris assistance limited to discussion and counsel. There is a pleasanthalf-secret of a professor who has an uncanny capacity for findingthe impoverished youth with only moderate talent and ability whois toiling his way on half rations through the Institute. The ex-ceptional and gifted students usually grasp some one of severalscholarships and pull'through on those. But the boy who is indus-trious, eager, near-starved, but whose limited talents keep him outof the scholarship class is usually obliged to drop out unless helpedfinancially. Here the professor steps in, advances the money,keeps in touch with the boy and encourages him. Afterwards theboys pay it back, bit by bit, and the system goes on.

It is the Spirit of this sort of thing that casts its influence overthe enitire student body and can never be measured in terms oftuition.....

of Lambda Chi Alpha came to an endyesterday, and they received theirpins. There is to be an initiation ban-quet on March 16 to welcome' the newmembers into the bond.

PHI GAMMA DELTAThere was a closed dance at the

Phi Gamma Delta house last Fridaynight with about one hundred andforty couples. A large part of thegroup was made up of alumni who ad-journed there from a party of theirown. The music was furnished byDick Edward's orchestra, and it iswhispered that some of those whowere disappointed at the early end ofthe Sigma Chi dance sought entrancein vain, in the wee hours.

SIGMA CHIOne of the first dances of the new

season was the party at the Sigma Chihouse last Friday evening. The Or-chestra was Phil Handelman's, and itwas pronounced by those present as"plenty hot." There were about onehundred and seventy-five couplesdancing, and it was rather a shock tothe whoopee-makers whien the or-chestra refused to continue after 1:15.

Tech Show may be a riot to somepeople, but t4he Lounger was coldsober Saturday night. Wet as helloutside, (The way Bill Greene callson the gods, you'd think that he couldhave done a little work on old JupiterPluvius) but dry as a bone inside,and you needed to see some of thoseskits to make anything funny out ofthem. But even so. "A Tech Riot" hasimproved plenty since the Loungersaw it on the night of Prom.

Putting their best foot foremostwith a snappy chorus, the show mana-gers opened the show with Let's DoIt. Was a pretty good number, andjudging from past shows, it was damnlucky for the audience that hits fromsuccessful revues were used insteadof home talent stuff. At least themusic was good.

The first skit, as they were called(what does that high-falnut-in' wordmean anyhow?) was a Bum Voyage.The Lounger was disappointed in that-along with the other grey-hairedcracks he was expecting to hear "Whowas the lady I seen you with lastnight ? "

The Lounger almost got up andput on a little act of his own andShear Murder wouldn't have been init for gruesomness. These dub ush-ers! All during the first few num-bers, they broke up the performanceby seating people. Why in hellcan't they show a little decent cour-tesy and wait till the scenes are beingchanged? Here's lots of sympathyfor the pinch hitter for Sam Evanswho was in bed with a cold andcoudn't sing. It is a job to put over"Pale Hands" to that raucous audi-ence, and with such usherial commo-tion, it's funny he didn't stop andswear.

Chorus Makes the ShowFree publicity in carload lots should

go to Huyler B. Ellison G. Thatwench had-Old Howard stuff stoppeda mile when it came to giving thetired business man a big thrill. No-body could say that the chorus hadBodies by Fisher, but then, they madeup for it in the complicated gymnas-tics of their bony legs. (P.S. A littlepadding also added a touch of real-ism.) Good training by LangdonMatthews! The chorus numberscame between every little dramaticpiece, and they gave the audience achance for enjoyment.

The fellar who wrote the Last ofthe Conw'ay's ain't never been no'tho'Boston, nosir! The Lounger heknows how them Maniacs talks, andby cracky, what he :heard on th' stagewan't nuthis' like Whut-them Yankeessay. This horrible example of what

, liquor can do to the coming generation1 fell pretty flat.

Clever Skit Raises HopeBy about the middle of the firs,

act, opinions differed as to whethethis was the worst show ever givenAr' then along came a Pure Girl'-Progress, and its pantomine wasbig relief. The rest of the acts hat

; had too much talking about nothingbut this one had no talking about any-

- thing. Not a bit bad, this skit. Bu-. the chorus men in the next song ant

dance act musta been plenty hot ir3 their dog coats while Doin' the Rac-coon. Monkey suits and iron shirtsand hats alone are bad enough, bu-the Lounger was glad he wasn't uithere, wrapped up like an EskimoHe was glad that he had a chance tcrevise his opinion of W. Gabrie-Houck '29, for if the little funstercouldn't do better than that Voo Docdance, he certainly wouldn't exhibi,his wim, wigor and witality as Houckdid.

It would have been better if the can-nibals had eaten up all the cast inCook's Tour-rather forced fun thatwas, like the subtlety of its title. Butthe chorus of Doing the New LowDown, the finale to Act 1, broughtthings up to standard again. Thatchorus was good!

Intermission: "Line forms on theright, gents!"

Anybody that came to the showerwas more or less a sucker, but theacme of gullibility was shown duringthe intermission. People who will buya week old newspaper, even the ProsmNumber of THE TECH-well, theLounger's bosses capitalized on Bar-num's examples. Of course it was agood bargain. Says Bill Greene:"That's a hell of a low trick-Twouldn't even expect it from VocDoo."

Classy Audience AttendsThe Lounger is all for more Riots,

if they would continue to produce thefeminine pulchritude which composedsuch a big part of the large audience.Why it should have been there hecan't see but some of those girls werepotential Miss Boston's, or his Welitrained eye has gone back on him.And damn, there he was, beside anold maid and behind an older one!

Things looked up when the secondact opened. Making Whoopee, theopener by the chorus was a cleveridea. Then followed the Drama-shop's offering, Action. It had that.but such a mess of killings, shouting,Yiddish and stuff nobody ever wit-nessed. The Lounger never couldmake head or tail to Bill Greene'ssigned review of the show in the PromIssue, but the effect of this act sheda little light on that literary hodge-pudge.

"Red" Page was either "looping"or he should drop engineering and bea lawyer. His bullying in "Shear

amused at .qrst, and would soon getused to it, Caters would boil at thenicknames that they are now secret-

ly called. If the purpose is to bridgethe gap of formality that exists be-tween the average student and in-structor, such a method is hardly asafe one to take. The instructorswho would appreciate it are the oneswho get along well with the studentswithout the need of such a steptowards informality. For instance,

can anyone imagine the effect of call-ing Bill Green "Profanity?" Or Pro-fessor Phelan, ."Beaker?" Or Pas-sano, "However Small ?" In the opin-ion of the Spectator, it would not onlybe unnecessary, but rather childish.

On the other hand, between someof the faculty and their students there

is a gap that it would be well tobridge. A student who can regard hisinstructor as a normal human beinggets much more out of his schoolcareer than one who can see only ateaching machine who one aim is toforce him to work hard. When thepersonality of the instructor is suchthat he does not readily make friends,it is up to the student to see that heis not a stranger to him. Wherecalling him .by his nickname wouldonly antagonize him, a cheerfulgreeting or a casual discussion oftopics other than what the course cov-ers would do much good.

In looking through the papers ofdifferent colleges the other day, theSpectator came upon an article in theLehigh "Brown and White" consist-ing of pro and con on the questionof whether faculty members shouldbe addressed by their nicknames out-side of classes by the student body.Four students and a professor ex-pressed their opinions on the subject,two being in favor, one in favor on thecondition that it be taken in the rightspirit, and the fourth student and theprofessor against it on the groundsthat it would necessarily lead to abusesof the custom and hard feelings.

It is amusing, when one thinks itover. If Lehigh is anything like mostschools, it would be rather hard onsome of the faculty. The Spectatoris of the opinion' that although itmay be all right in some cases, it ishardly to be sanrctioined as a generalpractic e. Some ' instructqrs would be

Lounger Tu rns Critic;Pleased With Tech ShowMETROPOLITAN

The lure of the cities at the bot-tom of the world is depicted on thescreen at the Met this week, where"Captain Lash," featuring Victor Mc-Laglen, is filling the house at all per-formances. When science develops"Smellies" to augment "Talkies."Singapore may be more realistic, andSydney, Australia, may be depictedmore vividly. But even now one getsa perfect picture of the rough dockdistrict, the hot streets and gamblinghouses, and the sweldering stoke holdof a trans-Pacific liner.

"The best stoker on the sea" Cap-tain Lash is not a handsome fellow.Hard-boiled but soft hearted, andheroic, he gets into a difficult situa-tion when he is "vamped" by thebeautiful Claire- Windsor. Her seem-ing refinement is out of his line, andher motive in cultivating his acquain-tance for her own purposes is not un-derstood by him.

The gap between the promenadedeck and the boiler room is no troubleat all for the woman. A peculiar chainof events implicates the unsuspectingfireman in a net of intrigue, by whicha wealthy passenger is relieved ofsome supposedly priceless jewels. Inscenes full of swift action, clevercomedy and good acting, the plot con-tinues to a happy ending. It is apleasing production in which theminor characters add a great dealto its success.

Bobby Agnew, a Paramount star,appears in person in the stage show.In this show, called "Happy GoLucky" for want of a better name,the "Three Swifts" give as clever anexhibition of juggling with Indianclubs as it has been our pleasure tosee. The Aubrey Sisters carry out avery novel idea in their offering, theold favorite "The Doll Dance." Thechorus has some equestrian help thisweek-the six trained Shetland poniesare a novelty reminiscent of childhooddays. Altogether, you will approveof the show.

The tanksters took all but twofirsts as they defeated Bowdoin veryeasily, capturing nearly every event.Torchio flashed to the front to seta new pool record in the hundred yardfree style, and apparently was a pacesetter for his team mates who pro-ceeded to set three more marks forthe Bowdoin lads to strive for.Jarosh in the 440 came next andlowered not only the pool record butset a new Technology time which hehad previously held himself.

Relay Team Sets RecordThe medley relay, composed of

Captain Larry Luey, Mackay, andAppleton set the other Technologyrecord when they flashed to the foreafter a hard battle in that event.

Next Wednesday night the mermenwill meet Brown at the UniversityClub in the stiffest meet of the season.The Bears have waded through theseason without having suffered asingle defeat, and the Cardinal andGray will find its hands full when itsets out to sink them.

FRESHMAN CAGEMENBEAT TILTON 22-18

In a very close game the M.I.T.freshman Basketball team defeatedTilton Seminary at Tilton, N. H.,Saturday evening by the scoreof 22 to 18. The outstand-ing player for the freshmen wasJohnson, the left guard, who scoredthree baskets and one foul for a totalof seven points. Castleman, left for-ward, made two baskets and two fouls.Butler, the Tilton center, played afine game, scoring four baskets.At the end of the first half the score

stood 12 to 4 in favor of the hometeam, but the freshmen took a newstart in the second period and over-

BOXERS LOSE TONEW YORK U. 4-3

Knockouts Made by Both Sidesin One of the Hardest

Meets This Year

By the narrow margin of one point,the Engineer boxing team was defeat-ed by the New York University mitt-men in the Bates Gymnasium at NewYork, last Saturday afternoon. Thebouts were very fast, and both teamsscored knockouts, with one dis-qualification for hitting in clinches.

Orleman started the meet by knock-ing out Hoffman in the 115 poundclass, in the first round after 4minutes and 34 seconds. AlthoughOrleman is one of the fastest, andcleverest boxers on the team, it wasalways thought he lacked the punchto floor his man. Orleman disprovedthis Saturday afternoon when he putall he had in a hard right, and senthis man to the floor for the count.

Lamoretti LosesIn the 125 pound class, Kleiman

defeated Lamoretti of Technology bya three round decision, which wasone of the surprises of the meet.Ducking and weaving, Lamoretti whohas won most of his bouts this year,was unable to keep away from thepunches, and although he put up ahard fight, the New York man wasawarded the decision.

Captain Bolanos was again vic-torious, defeating the fast NewYorker after three rounds in a fourthround decision. This leaves Bolanoswith his record still unmarred, andone of the most outstanding 135pounders in running for Intercol-legiate honors. Bolanos showed hissuperiority by his. coolness in punch-ing, and his cleverness, which madehini again victorious -over his op-ponent.

Jameson Wins on FoulSuffering from a sore hand, and

consequently in a poor condition, thehard-hitting Jameson again sent hisopponent to defeat. Gold of NewYork was disqualified for hittingJameson in a clinch. Although hewon the victory on a foul, Jamesonwas undoubtedly the better boxer, andwould have knocked his man out ifthe fight had continued. This isanother addition to the long string ofvictories, marred by no defeats whichhas made him one of the mostdreaded contenders for the Inter-collegiate crown.

Engler, who is a new member on theVarsity this year, was defeated bya knockout in the first round afterI minute and 19 seconds of boxing.The end came when both men werefresh, and going hard. Celbaum, the Istrong New Yorker, was able to senda stinging right over when he hadpushed Engler to the ropes, and theEngineer mittman went down for thecount.

Horton Down in SecondHorton, the Engineer 175 pounder,

also lost his bout by a knockout, whenSirutis, knocked him out just onesecond before the second round closed.Horton, who weaved and ducked about,looked good in the first round, andthe knockout came as a surprise whenthe New Yorker worked a fast one-two on the fast Engineer to send himto the floor. The unlimited wasforfeited to Sargisson of N. Y. U.

Another , of the annual interclasstrack meets passes into history withthe numerals 1931 of the SophomoreClass chalked up as the winner. TheJunior Class took second place, withthe freshmen close upon their heelsto take the honors of third place. TheSenior Class was put completely outof the running by the three lowerclasses as it trailed a poor fourth. Inthe meet four interclass records werebroken, one of them being a new trackrecord, namely the 300 yd. run markof 34s made by F. A. Ladd, Jr.· Coach Hedlund and the runners

were particularly fortunate in theImatter of officials for the meet. Themen who took charge were the creamof the officials in New Englandathletics. They are men who officiatein all the big new England meets and,consequently know their job to per-fection. Among those present werethe President of the New EnglandAssociation. Under the guidance ofthese men the meet went off ex-tremely smoothly, with accurate tim-ing, that may be relied upon.

Ladd Captures 300Fred Lad d kept up his record-break-

ing performances when he cut 1/5 ofa secon d off the track record and2/5" off the interclass 'record in the300 yard run, both former recordsbeing 'held .by himself. In the 600yard- run Jack Hallahan took 2 3/5"off' the old mark of 1:18 2/5, heldjointly by ex-Captain Meagher andMarshall Fay. Leon Thorsen alsolowered a jointly held record in the1 1/2 mile run. He took 6 9110" offthe mark that both he and Chuteformerly held when he ran the distancein 7:25 1/2s. In the shot put Grondalbettered the old mark 'by 1' 5" whenhe put the sixteen pound shot 40' 11".The former record of 39' 6" was heldby Brodsky.

Freshman Wins MileProbably the most pleasing race

for the spectators was the one milerun won by Donald Gilman. Beinga freshman and matched against someof Technology's best distance runnershe was expected to be outdistanced,but on the tenth lap he spurted tothe front. During the remaining twolaps he stayed -out in front andstretched his lead to win by several

LAST GAME ON WEDNESDAY

In the roughest 'basketball 'gameof the season the Cardinal and Grayquintet lost to the University of NewHampshire by a score of 34 to 24 at;Durham, N. Hi., Saturday-night. Thogame was marked by the high num,bet of personal fouls and it wasprobably the poorest corntest of theseason.

From the first of the game thbeplay was rather slow and there vasino exhibition of real basketball play-ing throughout the entire game. TheWildcats managed to get the leadearly in the gamne andl'ept it through-out the entire contest. 'The, gn'gineers' shooting was poor, as a largenumber of their shots would hit therim of the Vasket only to bounceaway again. Brig Allen, who wvastaken out on four fouls, was theCardinal and Gray's high scorer, witha total of four baskets.

Varsity HockeyTeam Loses

Last Minute Rally Fails to Win!Game Freshmen Defeat

Brown Yearlings

A desperate last minute rally bythe Engineers proved futile in a gamewith Brown, last Friday night, whenthe puck chasers were defeated threeto two. Brown scored all its goalsbefore Technology started its finalattempt to gather in a victory.

Moulton who went in to replaceCrance as left forward for Brownproved quite a threat during most ofthe game, scoring the first point ofthe game, and worrying Riley theTechnology goalie by his brilliantdashes. Most of the game was playedwell into the Red and Grey territorywhich gave Linghiam defence man hischance to swoop down to score thesecond goal for the Bruins. This wasXfoilowed shortly by the third andlast point which was made by Cranewho came back into the game justIlong enough to make this last point.

Two Points in Final PeriodThe Technology team then stiffened

its defense considerably and the gamecontinued uneventfully up to the lasthalf of the final period. The teamsuddenly surged down into the Brownterritory and succeeded in chalkingup two points .before they were suc-cessful halted. From then to thefinish of the game all other ralliesproved vain.

The freshman hockey team whichhas displayed considerable strengthwas again victorious -when it tookthe Brown yearlings into camp on thezero end of a score of one to nothing.Marvin, the Technology center, playeda fine game during all three periods,making frequent sallies into the Brownterritory and scoring the only pointof the game.

First prize forthe required design of a tea-house inconnection with an open air swimmingpool and garden was awarded to PaulF. Nocka, a fifth year student, and'Walter C. Wurdeman, who receivedhis Master's- degree from Tech lastyear placed second.

The donor, Guy Lowell, was a dis-tinguished architect, and, realizing thevalue of foreign travel and study toyoung architects offered a scholar-ship of $1000 to be used for six monthsof foreign travel and to be competedfor annually by draughts men orarchitectural students whose prepara-tion included three years of officetraining. Thirty-nine designs werejudged this year by a jury consistingof Professor Emerson, head of theTech architecture department, andfour practicing architects of Boston.

On exhibition at Rogers now is atraveling exhibit of the design ac-complishments of several architec-tural schools in the country, includingCarnegie Tech the Universities ofKansas, Michigan, and Texas; Syra-cuse University, Harvard, and Prince-ton. These works are greatly varied,running from a "Headquarters forShip Pilots" and a "Metropole for theSocieties of Fine Arts of a Nation"to public utility buildings, skyscrapers,private libraries, art museums andmemorial staircases.

All tradition shows that thesefreshmen will now learn how to playthe game. What game? The past-time age-honored at Rogers of get-ting around these preliminarysketches, of changing their poorpoints without disqualifying thefinal renderings from the competi-tion on March 30.

The first of a series of charactersketches will now be offered for theentertainment of engineers in par-ticular. We do not feel that it isnecessary to give the actual namesof our victims. Any of your archi-tectural friends should be able toidentify the first one.

He is a dignified person this, pre-miere character. In accordance withthe peculiar nature of most archi-tects let us christen him Wheel-wrong. Imagine if you can, oneof the most magnificient of Boston'smale blue-bloods, tall in stature,lithe and slim of figure, his handmade precisely to carry a cane; (andhe does flaunt one.) His walk setsoff the cane so gracefully, much bet-ter than Charlie Chaplin. Uponglancing down at his noble feet (forhe is noble above all else) we arepleased at the appropriateness of hisspats-colors for all occasions. Nowlet us peer up into his facial geog-raphy. It is a face full of character,decorated as we should expect be-tween the keen nose and sensativemouth Wnith a beautiful brush ofsoft silky whiskers sweeping out fromboth sides downward, sideward, thenupward in the distinctive manner ofthe weeping walrus. This is the

I Beau Brummel of all the architects.Stand by for further news and

Corporation XV Meeting

Mr. C. K. Moser of -the Departmentof Commerce at Washington addressedCorporation XV at their monthly din-ner meeting in the Walker Grill onTuesday evening. The speaker gavean outline of the Alsace-Lorraine ofAsia, the Province of Manchuria. Hespent much of his time in this landand explained the interesting problemswhich exist in Manchuria which hasbeen the battleground of China, Japan,and Russia.

Mr. Moser traced the history of theRussian advance into Manchuria andthe Japanese opposition to it. Heshowed how powerless China wasagainst these two forces, but how itwould "pick up the crumbs"· of what-ever happened and swallow up itsoppressors. He said that the Chineseand their old civilization would neverbe taken over by the opposing powersand would succeed in slowly develop-ing their rich resources.

Railroads and other means of trans-portation are behind the wholeeconomic importance of Manchuriaand the fertility of the soil can onlybe made use of if the products canbe shipped away easily. Mr. Mosershowed that the lack of stones andpebbles in the soil made it impossibleto build highways into the mostfertile parts.

THE LOUNGER(Continued from Page 2)

Murder" was worthy of The Trial ofMary Dugan. Whether it came nat-ural or the work of Wm. CrysakeGreen, the whole cast cursed con-vincingly. The Lounger was forcedto laugh a little satisfied chuckleat the way all the Walker activitieswent for a good ride in this piece.But as someone in the show remarked,"They had a hell of a time findingan ending for that skit." It was acomplete hoax after all.

Chorus Again PleasesSuch bathing beauties as There's

a Rainbow 'Round My Shoulder dis-played! What the little colyumnistcan't understand is why the SigmalChi's bring all the Walker stenog'slto their dances. All they'd have to|do is array their little Jimmy Dun-llap as he was Saturday night, andhe'd get a rush like Polly Walker'sThat boy has IT, them, or whatever,and is a HIT.

Old Oil was just that-the same oldstuff in older cloths. But the chorus'sfinale was Okay. Digga Digga Do0was well done and by the time he hadseen the final curtain fall on CrazyRhythm, in which Houck made a fineshowing, the Lounger was glad hehadn't stayed at home and playedbridge. Even the god-awful jam atthe check room didn't sour him-hehas spent much worse evenings.
