The contest was originated by the library committee under Miss Mar-gare t Gibbs, l ibrarian. Later it was submitted to the societies by the student council members. Student approval and support of the contest was asssured in a special meeting of the council Fr iday morning.

Warner .

to he r amazement, came a crowd of

lively cowboys prancing past . She waj? surprised to see a f a n dancer in the group. In one of the corridors stood two babies gazing at a s t range moving match. They were learning fas t how to play with harmful things.

For the res t of the evening s t range things were moving about the halls of the dorm tha t were impossible even to dream about.

Roberta Rawson was dressed like Mickey Mouse. Mickey wrote a paper on "Why I Squeak." She was sent to the Cosmopolitan house to get a Mickey Mouse.

Bashful Little Lulu (Helen Beck-er) was present in person, even her curls. Lulu had a paper on "Embar-assed"—Nuts!!" She was sent to the Knick house for a garter .

Doris Van Lente was Sweet Pea. The Cosmos were so kind as to give her a bottle of milk, but yet she wrote a theme on "I Want Some

Spinach."

Mary Bolema represented Spark-Plug. She went to Hadden's garage to obtain a spark-plug and wrote a paper on "Horsing Around Hope's

Campus."

Laura Roosenraad impersonate( J iggs . Af ter a Jiggs ' fashion, she had to get a cabbage f rom Reefer 's restaurant, and wrote a paper on "Why Corned Beef and Cabbage Has What I t Takes."

Jacoba Dalebout, dressed as Ma-ha tma Ghandi, with Helen Leslie, Rip Van Winkle, measured f rom Central to River on Eighth and found it to be 1093 potatoes.

Lois Hall was t he Little White Rabbit who lectured on why her carrots would give more knee-action to the Knicks while they hopped around the campus.

Freedom of the Press

"There 4s no longer any freedom of the press," was the verdict of three or four speakers at the small college press conference held at Olivet last Friday. Perhaps the reason for the other speaker's failure to mention the fact was because his subject did not lend itself to an utterance of this type.

The statement was not the prejudiced opinion of any par-ticular man because of his position in life. It was the opinion of a University of Michigan professor, age 86, who seemed as youthful in spirit as any man on Hope's campus. It was also the opinion of two newspaper men, who actually know "the game." Specific examples were quoted by each man in turn, ranging from examples on university newspapers to metropolitan dailies.

It is time that we cease being delusioned, ladies and gentle-men. It is time that we look at the facts in the case. It is time that we realize that the inalienable right of freedom of the press is fast becoming alienable, so much so, that it will soon be a figment of the mind! Only through popular demand can freedom of the press be restored to its former level — only through the demands of the public can the press be kept free.

Cooperation When the $500 drive for the support of the Arabian mission

was held last week, we couldn't help admiring the well organ-ized manner in which it was run off. The students and faculty supported the cause well, and each one who aided in the tabu-lating of the results did so in an efficient manner. A word of appreciation must be expressed here to those who were responsible for carrying on the project.

Although it had been postponed on previous occasions, the all-college carnival can likewise be pronounced a success. For this project, as well as for that carried on earlier in the week, a word of well-deserved recognition is in order for those who took part. If there was a moment of the evening in which you didn't enjoy yourself, it must have been because you had indulged too excessively in carameled apples or because you hadn't had enough sleep the night before.

In the two projects mentioned here, we have excellent ex-amples of what cooperation and real COLLEGE SPIRIT can do on a campus, and this cooperation, and the spirit which result from it, are imperative to the successful carrying on of any college activity.

The formal dinner at the dorm this month will combine the regular birthday party and the faculty din-ner. The date has been set for the last Wednesday in the month. Defi-nite plans as to the faculty guests to be invited have not yet been made.

Classical Club Members Bear Latin Papers, Songs

"Why Take Latin?" was a paper read by Laura Van Kley a t the last Classical Club meeting. John Wy-benga gave a paper on "Borrowing Words." Latin songs were sung, and Alma Weeldreyer rendered a piano solo entitled "Moonlight" After this part of the program, teams were chosen, and two cross-word puzzles were worked out in Latin.

Two new members were taken into the society, Nelva Zandbergen and Virginia Ver Strate. The total enrollment is now 24.

Alberta Kooiker, Betty Denison and Alma Weeldreyer are in charge of the next meeting.

Book Review And So — Victoria Vaughn Wilkins

And So — Victoria is a splendid-ly picaresque novel that will re-mind you very forcibly of that sen-sational best-seller of a few years back: Anthony Adverse. The old formula is quite true to form here; again you will find the young and dreamy adventurer faced with ad-versity, even death; again there are any number of scoundrels whose subtleties will make you hold your breath. Christopher Hamish is strongly reminiscent of the young Anthony; Madame de Boucher very much the venomous Faith.

This novel begins in those peril-ous days of the French Revolution; it ends dramatically just before the great Victoria ascends to the throne. Portraying as it does the royal family of England, the read-er acquires a rare insight of the politics, the mean, vicious plottings, and the sordid intrigues that in time must ruin a country and be-tray its people.

The book i t not in the college library, but you will find i t in pop-alar demand at "The Book Nook."

Angelinc Dombos will be heard in her junior organ recital on Wednesday, March 16, at 4 P. M., in the chapel. The program fol-lows: Finale Boellman Andante Stamitz Toccata, Adagio, and Fugue

The next student recital will be presented on March 23 by Dorothy Vanden Bout, also an organ major.

At Sunday's vesper recital the Chapel Choir was heard in three number for chorus. Freeman Van-der Ploeg and June Cook, both sen-ior students, shared the director-ship. The highlight of the program was the rendition of Finlandia by the choir with Prof. Osborne at the organ.

Last evening students of music classes went to Grand Rapids to hear John Challis, harpsichordist, in a recital at Trinity Community hall. Mr. Challis is a manufacturer of this rare instrument, and re-fuses to consider mass production of it. He played the music that was originally written for the harpsi-chord.

The program was preceded by a dinner of the Guild of Organists, which was attended by organists from Holland and Hope college.

C.W.L. Hears Discussion of Sino-Japanese War

At the weekly meeting of the Christian Workers' league Friday afternoon, Dr. W. J . Van Kersen spoke on the war between China and Japan today. "Many of the Chinese," said Dr. Van Kersen, "cannot understand why God per-mits the Japanese to ravage their institutions."

Last Tuesday night, Katie Van-denberg, Evelyn Ver Hoek, Lucille Ter Maat, Henry Voogd, and Gor-don Van Wyk took charge of a Christian Endeavor meeting at the First Reformed church of Grand Haven. Sunday night another group was sent out to conduct the evening service at the Calvary Re-formed church in Grand Rapids. The league has also been asked to lead the evening worship on March 13 at the Sixth Reformed church of this city.

Milestones Will Be Issued Early If Students Cooperate

The question which everyone asks is, "When will the Milestone be ready?" No definite date can be given as yet, but if the progress which has been made to date con-tinues the book should be ready a t least three weeks before the end of the school year.

The students are asked to coop-erate by handing all write-ups in before March 15th. Seniors must himd their activities list to Howard Schaubel or to the editor before March 15. Clever work in photog-raphy will be a leading feature of the book.

A literary section composed of the best essay, short story, and poem will be a new feature in this annual. The contest is open to all Hope students, except those con-nected with the Milestone. Short stories of not more than 2,000 words, essays of not more than 1000 words, and poems limited to 35 lines, may be entered. All manuscripts must be handed to the editor, Harold Leestma, by April which is the Tuesday af te r spring vacation.

In the absence of the regular chorister, Aibou Ben (Jim) Adams opened the Cosmopolitan meeting of .last Thursday evening by lead-ing the group in Hilarious singing. The serious paper was a commen-tary on the recent conditions in China by Girard Veenschoten. Mu-sic was poured upon the members by a duet composed of Bill Jesiek and Gordon Berkel, who squeezed the notes out of the few pipe fit-tings that comprise their clarinets.

The evening's humorist was Fritz Bertsch, who sponsored a drive to raise funds for the purpose of putting himself through SC1M>OI,

and for providing the bow-legged children of the African' pygmies with lollypops. Master critic George Ziegler then gave his criticism. The surprise of the evening came when Charles Bertsch sang his own birthday song without realizing that he was the honored person.

On February 25 the Dorian Liter-ary Society met in the dining room of the Tavern at 7:30 a.m. After a delicious breakfast a short business meeting was conducted by Presi-dent Ruth Van Anrooy, af ter which they all rushed back to chapel.

Last Thursday evening found the Dorians entertained by freshmen dressed as cowboys. Pledges sang original cowboy songs and per-formed for the benefit of members.

Sorosis court came to order last Thursday evening as the gavel of Judge Lincoln pounded the desk promptly at 7:30. A jury composed of sophomores conducted the cases of the various pledges. Sentences had been issued Wednesday upon black paper decorated with white skeletons and the pledges appeared as follows: Constance Muste as a shoebag; Mary Ruth Jacobs came disguised as a game of pick-up-sticks; Helen Van Kooy was one of the seven dwarfs; Ruth Stryker dressed as a soap bubble; Marthene Van Dyke as a thermometer; Phyl-lis Newcastle broke out in measles; Margaret Bilkert r e s e m b l e d a match; Marian Tysse appeared as Snow White; JeanT W i s h m e i e r donned the costume of a fountain pen; Thelma Van Dyke played the part of a short wave radio set; Helen Fairbanks assumed the role of Ferdinand the Bull; and Betty De Pree reflected a mirror. After trials and errors refreshments were served by the sorority and the Sorosis songs were sung.

Delphians met last Thursday eve-ning in their room to be entertained by pledges dressed as characters of comic strips. The following car-toons were introduced and sent out on quests: "Popeye" Marian Lam-pen; Laura Roosenraad as "Jiggs"; "Sweet Pea," Doris Van Lente; Mary Bolema, the "Spark-Plug"; "Little Lulu," Helen Becker; "Mic-key Mouse," Roberta Rawson; "Barney Google," Marjory Last; "Tarzan," Ruth Klaasen; and "Ella Cinders," Ruby Carpenter. The last laugh came when freshmen were sold as slaves to sophomores and refreshments were served.

The Sibylline room served as headquarters last Thursday night from which pledges were sent out on quests of the society. Eunice Scholten impersonated the book, "How to Win Friends and Influence People," Nina Fopma passed the time away as a clock, Beatrice Fair-banks entertained as the f a t lady, Eloise Boynton arrived as a special delivery letter, Betty Dennison blossomed into a sweet little flower.

Bertha Vis went into a fan dance, Helen Leslie imitated Rip Van Winkle, Jacoba Dalebout was dis-guised as Mahatma Ghandi, Edith Ramole and Lois Weeldreyer ap-peared as the Gold Dust Twins, Joye Van Oss played the role of a baby, Alberta De Jonge shone a r a bright star, and Lois Hall hopped into the part of a little white rab-bit. An amateur program concluded the entertainment of the evening. During this time slaves were auc-tioned off by Gladys Moerdyke, and the freshmen served refreshments.

Juniors of Alethea presented their class program last Thursday evening. The theme of the meeting was the "Children's Hour," and Jean McNeill read the poem in or-der to create the proper spirit. She also conducted family devotions, af ter which news flashes were re-ported by Margaret Laman. During playtime the junior Aletheans en-acted a drama in which Ruth Mep-pelink, Alice McClay, and Florence Meengs played the leading roles. "Lullaby Time" featured a violin solo by Florence Meengs. All young-sters who had been good were pre-sented with lollipops at the close of the sixty minutes.

Knickerbocker boys held a regu-lar meeting last week Thursday. David De Pree read an original paper on "Merchant Marine," a f te r which Maynard Van Lente favored with a humor selection. The music of the evening was provided by Charles Roberts and his trumpet. A brief business discussion concluded the meeting.

Fraternals were entertained by sophomores at their last meeting. David Plasman presented a humor paper on "My First Love," and Alfred Joldersma read a serious paper on politics. Chorister for the evening was Jim Grey, while Don-ald Poppen obliged with an im-promptu musical novelty.

Hope Professors Show Interest hi Meeting Of Michigan Academy

A great deal of interest ha s been shown among Hope professors in a meeting of the Michigan Academy of Science, Let ters and A r t s March 17, 18, and 19 a t the University of Michigan.

The ideal which has been set up before this f ra te rn i ty is the "Ad-vancement and the Diffusion of Knowledge." The club has 14 divi-sions and each professor is a mem-ber of the departments of learning that he is most interested in. An-thropology, botany, zoology, his-tory, philosophy, li terature, psy-chology, and mathematics are a few of the departments.

At the individual group meetings a member has the opportunity of presenting a paper and such dis-cussion as he wills. Each group has also some selected speaker of note.

The philosophy department has been warranted a meeting of the highest philosophic quality. Such men as Prof . Solmsen, formerly as-sociate professor of the University of Berlin, speaking on "Plato's Theology," and Prof. Henle, for-merly of Smith college, on "A Problem in Epistemology." Prof. R. Sellers, Leo R. Ward, and Prof. Trap, also comprise the program for the philosophy department.

In the midst of his 25th year as a coach a t Hope college. Jack Schouten today issued a call fo r t rack candidates to repoK for drills in preparation fo r the annual Mich-igan Intercollegiate Athletic Asso-ciation indoor meet to be held in the Hillsdale college field house March 16.

In his anniversary year, Coach Schouten looks forward to a lean t rack season. The point-getters of las t season, Don Martin, Ek Buys, Hugh De Pree and John Robbert, have all been graduated, and only the green members of last year's squad remain fo r winter drills.

He is hopeful f o r the showing a t the indoor meet, however, be-cause he can recall Hope men who were M.I.A.A. champions in 18 of 15 track events in the pas t 10 years. "Most of these boys made i h e i r marks when they were green," le said.

The record of Don Martin last yea r was most recent. Martin took championships in the 50-yard dash a t the indoor meet last season, and took firsts in the 100-yard dash, the 220-yard dash and the high mrdles at the league field meet last

spring. In the lat ter three events je broke M.I.A.A. records.

Martin's recent records were made as a senior in 1937. Ten years ago, he was registered as a fresh-man at Hope, and with Ray De-Young, Len Willits and Wally De Velder won the M.I.A.A. relay in 927. Martin held several records in

the regular army during his enlist-ment in intervening years between lis records here.

Also in 1927, De Velder placed second to Lee Bartlett, Albion's contribution to two Olympic teams, when Bartlett made the present O . A A . javelin record of 203 feet,

1 1 ^ inches. Willits was the cham-ion in both the 100 and 220-yard

(ashes tha t year, while Martin tfeengs was the low hurdle cham-

pion.

In 1934, Joe Esther copped the mile and two-mile titles fo r Coach Schouten. A group of champions performed for Schouten in 1936 and 1937. In the 1936 field day, Ek Buys copped the shot-put title, John Rob-bert won the 100-yard dash and the 220-yard dash, Hugh De Pree won the 880-yard run, George Douma won the 440-yard dash, and Clay Tellman won the broad jump. Buys repeated his honors and Mar-tin broke his three records in 1937.

With almost a full team of cham-pions competing fo r him at some time or another, Schouten will turn to the task of gett ing the green squad in shape here this week. Lou Northouse, who was ineligible last year, is one sure point-getter for n e x t spring. Hope's chances will be reckoned when the squad turns out fo r spring practices.

During his 25 years at Hope col-lege, Coach Schouten has been in charge of every varsity sport, al-though his duties now are con-cerned entirely with freshman bas-ketball and football, varsity track,

During his school days, Schouten studied physical training a t the University of Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan and Notre Dame.

KRONEMEYER'S

The last games of the In t ra f ra -ternity basketball race will be played in Carnegie gym Wednesday night. The play was postponed until Wednesday because of the Hope-Kalamazoo playoff on Monday.

In the games of a week ago, the leadership of the league remained the same; as the Fra ternals and Cosmopolitans successfully staved off the b i d s of the Independents and Addisons, respectively. With the completion of Wednesday's games, accounting fo r no upsets in play, arrangements fo r a play-off will .be made.

Wednesday the Fra ters take on the Knicks. Last week the Emer-sonians defeated the Knicks, but the Knickerbockers will be out to upset the Fra ters if they possibly can. The Fra ters are in fine shape for the battle, and feel confident tha t they can maintain their pres-ent status.

The Cosmos should have little trouble in downing the Independ-ents. Although the Independents have improved gradually, and have a fighting chance of pulling the unexpected.

The scores of last week's games showed the Fra ters with a 24-12 advantage over the Independents; while the Cosmos took the Addison five, 36-24. In the upset of the eve-ning, the Emersonians dropped the Knickerbockers, 15-10.

There is a possibility that the probable playoff will be played as a charity game, along with a game fea tur ing two girls ' teams. This may come under the heading of a Spring Sports Carnival with a small admission fee for a charitable cause.

SPORTING JOTS By Bob Wishmeier '

Before the championship clash between Hope and Kalamazoo bas-ketball games a t the Civic audi-torium in Grand Rapids last night, records conceded Hope a slight edge . . . Offensively, Hope was the best team, fo r the Dutch scored 594 points in 12 games to 523 points scored by the Hornet five . . . Kala-mazoo's defensive recor] was three points the b e t t e r . . . T h e Barnard-men had 357 points scored on them, and Hope opponents scored 360 points . . . Hope had another edge, f o r in five of six home victories Hope scored a greater margin than did Kalamazoo; and in three of five wins on foreign courts, Hope scored best . . . Albion heat both teams, taking Hope, 44-38, and Kalamazoo, 37-29.

In the game last night, only one

player on •the floor had ever played

a t the Civic auditorium before . . .

I t was Harrison Jones, Hornet cen-ter, who was Kalamazoo Central 's pivot man two years ago in the s ta te tournament finals when Flint Northern beat the Maroon Giants on the point system . . . Only one man on either of the two playoff

teams will be graduated this spring

. . . He is Don Thomas, Hope for-

ward . . . Six of the 10 s tar ters In

last night 's game are fo rmer play-

ers in four Southwestern confer-ence high schools . . . Of Kalama-zoo college's team, Jones and Red Hunt a re former Central high boys

. Thomas of Hope was a team-mate of Hunt's in prep school . . . On the Hope five, Boyink is a Grand Haven graduate, Brannock a form-er Benton Harbor star, and Marcus a former Holland High player.

When the associated voted to hold

playoffs in case of ties five years

ago, the members had no idea such

a game would be profitable business . Three playoffs have been held

since then . . . The money, sub-tracting costs and the expenses of both teams, goes to the M.I.A.A. sinking fund . . . Last night 's game was estimated to have taken in more money than was cleared by Hope all season . . . About 250 Cal-vin college students were a t the )layoff . . . They held student seats

next to the Kalamazoo student body.

Holland98 Safety Campaign Provokes Feature on Hope's Careful Drivers

Hail to the drivers! Drivers of cars on Hope's campus, we mean. They may not be the best, but "they'll be the best till the best comes 'round." In other words, the drivers among the student body are to be commended for their small percentage of accidents.

Of the Ave hundred-odd students it would be a fa i r estimation to say that approximately eighty per cent have qualified to drive a car. Whether they are all capable of holding their own with safe drivers cannot be said, but the general ten-dency for drivers of our fa i r school seems to be toward the conserva-tive side. Few are guilty of sailing around corners on two wheels or of squealing their brakes to meet a corner. Few drive with the acceler-ator on the floor just to satisfy a desire to hear the whizz of the wind. .

There is no denying that stu-dents do drive fas t on the high-ways—say 50 or 60 miles per hour. But this is only in keeping with the progress of the day and the ex-pertness of the drivers.

Ten years ago one didn't think of traveling as fast as 60 miles per hour. Today a speed of 50 or 60 miles per hour is the average of most drivers wl^o travel much and necessarily must save time by go-ing at such a pace. Ten years from now the speed of the average motor-ist will probably be f a r above 60 miles per hour.

Perhaps one of the reasons that there are as few accidents as there are on the campus is that the driv-ers of the cars are oftentimes also the owners of them. And it is easier to be careful with one's own prop-erty.

Since there are no specific regu-lations concerning the possession of cars by students-on the campus, they are allowed free reign to go and come as they please. This pol-icy seems to be a wise one. It sat-isfies the students and gives them confidence in themselves. The re-striction of cars a t other schools has led to serious difficulties. For instance, the violator of the law against cars at Michigan Univer-sity is grounded with a fur ther penalty.

Since a high percentage of Hope students live outside the city limits of Holland, cars are the most eco-nomical and convenient form of transportation.

The fact that a great many of Hope's athletic activities take place in other towns is a fur ther use and point in favor of the students hav-ing cars. The game with Kalamazoo emphasized the need for cars when the buses which were charted were filled to overflowing and the trans-portation facilities were augmented by a goodly supply of cars with safe drivers who could be relied upon to carry the students to and from Grand Rapids in safety.

With all but a home and home series of matches with Adrian scheduled on the 1988 spring golf card, Hope golfers will be ready to get into practice as soon as weather permits.

Dr. Bruce M. Raymond, coach of the Hope IciUlsuiue, iiaTalfchedule of 15 games already, but needs to add two games with the Bulldogs to make it complete. On the sched-ule are matches with Western State, Grand Rapids Junior College and M.I.A.A. tournament, besides regular M.I.A.A. matches.

Coach Raymond has Bob Marcus, Bill Van Uusen, Les Hopkins and Mayo Hadden as returning letter-men. Two newscomers to the squad this spring are Ed Heneveld, jun-ior, and Ade Slikkers, sophomore. Bob Marcus will probably carry the freight as number one man, while Slikkers, Van Dusen and Hopkins will follow in that order in four-man matches.

Coach Raymond pointed out that the boys- on the team this year were 'playing at a personal sacri-fice, because expenses are given only for transportation to-matches, while the expense of equipment is borne by the members.

The schedule of matches is ar-ranged so that early season meets are played on foreign courses. The arrangement will give the Holland course a chance to get into excel-lent shape before matches are played here.

The schedule is:

Grand Rapids Junior away, April 21; Kalamazoo away, April 27; Al-bion away, April 29; Hillsdale away. May 3; Western State away. May 6; Olivet away. May 7; Alma away. May 9; Kalamazoo here. May 11; Hillsdale here. May 16; Albion here. May 19; Alma here. May 20; Olivet here. May 23; M.I. A A . tour-nament a t Kalamazoo, May 27; Grand Rapids Junior here. May 31; and Western State here, June 1.

In an overtime battle oh the en-emy floor, Hope frosh were defeat- seven games played, much experi-ed for the second time this season by a Kalamazoo frosh Ave. The game was played as a prelim to the Kazoo-Olivet game. Kazoo won its second game by a 31-29 squeeze.

Starting out fas t , the Hope frosh gained a large lead, which they held for 16 minutes of the first half. Caging all types of shots, the frosh took an 11-i first quarter lead, and at one time in the second period maintained a margin of 14-5. However, the Hornet yearlings gradually crept up on the leaders, and as time waned in the first half they came dangerously dose.

The last period of the regular game proved to be the most thrill-packed of the entire encounter. Scoring was heavy during this quarter; many long shots featured the scoring. . Hope held a three-point lead with two minutes to go, but Kazoo caged two foul shots and a basket to take a 29-28 lead. As twenty-five seconds remained in the game Nordhouse, who had played a fine game a t forward for Hope, dropped a foul shot to tie up the tussle.

In the overtime, many wild shots were attempted, but the one made by Dick Lemmer, Kazoo substitute forward, was enough to give Kala-mazoo the win. Nordhouse, with ten points, led Hope, while Hunter, midget forward, was high for Kazoo with 12.

The game a t Kalamazoo climaxed the basketball season for the frosh.

A1 they lost four of

ence was gained by them which should be useful in the immediate future. As in football, they played better iball in the last part of the season.

The season started successfully with a 36-10 defeat of the inter-fraterni ty champion Cosmos. In the next game the Fraternal society handed them a 25-16 setback. The Grand Rapids Junior frosh made it two in a row by dropping them 24-16. A little improvement was shown in the next game, as the frosh beat the Catholic Junior col-lege ifive of Grand Rapids, 27-23:

The following game j)layed with the Bethany church five of Kala-mazoo, the frosh took in a thrilling overtime punched battle, 25-20. Their next game was played, a f te r a long rest, with Kalamazoo; and it was a hard one to lose a t 18-17.

According to statistics, the frosh outscored their opponents 166-151. Individual scoring was varied, but it might be said that Coach Schou-ten had hy the end of the season a well balanced scoring attack.

CLEANING OUT HARVARD CLUB

There have been many stories attendant to the break-up of ath-letic relations between Harvard and Princeton some years ago, but the best was recounted to us the other day by Harold McCracken, motion picture photographer, famous ex-plorer and author who attended both Ohio State and Drake.

"Shortly a f t e r the schism," re-calls McCracken, "a group of Princeton grads were discussing the matter a t an impromptu party in their New York club. One of them quite emphatically asserted that they should make a mass at-tack on the Harvard Club and throw the occupants out into For-ty-fourth Street. The others readi-ly agreed, but as time (and drinks) passed, no one made a move. Fin-ally, the instigator announced in a loud voice tha t the rest were just softies, and t%at he was going, if necessary alone, to clean out the enemy's camp.

"Arriving a t the Harvard Club, he strode into the spacious lounge, but as it was rather late by then.

the Harvard barroom floor.

When the Princeton man finally got back to his own club, a f te r pausing on the way to have a drink in celebration of his single-handed victory, he found the group still loudly denouncing all Harvard men. Then he noticed that one of the group showed unmistakable evi-dence of having also been in a fight. He had a black eye and his face was badly bruised. Here, a t least, thought the returning hero, was a Princeton man worthy of the name.

"When did you have a fight?" he queried.

"You, so-and-so," retorted the other, "I 'm the guy that went along with you to clean out the Harvard Club*

This Collegiate World

(By Associated Collegiate Press) Now that you are all nicely set-

tled in your dormitory room and have been attending classes for at least five months this school year, we are giving you a gentle jolt from an educating easterner that maybe it's all a waste of time.

Simmons College's president is the jolter, and here's the jolt: "Don't assume that your. ; . life is blighted. . . if (you don't) go to college." "But, if you're already there, says he, "college work should be above all, an intellectual exper-ience." i

But before this gets you down in the dumps too far , we'd like to introduce you to the University of Washington's Dr. E. R. Guthrie, who's been doing research on the "Big Apple"—of all things! Sez he:

"The popularity of the Big Ap-ple in America indicates a red-blooded race above all, and it is probable that such a dance could not have originated in any other nation which is considered civil-ized."

Go ahead! You've a logical ex-cuse now for saying your collegian-tics are just a part of a program to determine how dates should be secured.

Washington, D. C. — Sons and daughters of senators, representa-tives, cabinet members and foreign diplomats are a dime a dozen in Washington. They attend local col-eges and nobody pays any parti-cular attention to them. They are judged on their own merits ra ther than on the fame of the illustrious parents. There are so many great and near-great men here in the realm of politics that no particular atention can be paid to their chil-dren.

But it's a different story when someone near to stage and screen stars is around. A Senator's daugh-ter might be greatly sought a f t e r in Hollywood, and of no particular importance here. Conversely, a screen star 's sister wouldn't, per-haps, make any great difference in Hollywood. But when a star 's sis-ter comes to Washington that is, very emphatically, something else again.

This is proved by the presence here of Kathrine Hepburn's kid sister who is a student at Benning-ton College in Vermont.

She is down here working for a few months before returning to her studies, and the local papers have all run her pictures together with elaborate write-ups. In a few weeks she has become better known than many daughters of famous states-men.

Young Miss Hepburn is attrac-tive in her own right, and, of course, that doesn't hurt, but if she had been the lovely daughter of Congressman Whatnot, she

might have stayed here a year without the newspapers printing her name.

Many movements are s ^ r t e t only to bog down before they are completed. However, it is very rare for anyone to profit when such an event transpires. The exception be-came apparent here this week when the plans of the George Washing-ton Memorial Association were for-mally abandoned and more than a quarter of a million dollars was given to George Washington Uni-versity.

The association was formed a number of years ago to promote a two million dollar auditorium as a memorial to the first President. Some $800,000 was raised, but that wasn't enough to carry out the plans. So, af ter spending about half a million without coming any closer to their objective, the mem-bers of the association decided to call the whole thing off.

This they did in court here this week, and turned their remaining assets, more than a quarter of a million dollars, over to GWU.

It is a commonly accepted fact that acting as a prophet is the poorest paid business in the world. None-the-less this commentator is going to take a shot at it. I t is a long limb, but out on it he goes!

mediately a f te r the s t a r t of the

second half. Marcus scored on two

free throws, but Spalsbury coun-

tered with a fas t break. Brannock

then got two baskets, and the lo-

cals had whittled the lead to 23-

18. Wood got a basket from under

the hoop, but Brannock scored a foul, and Thomas dropped a basket to put Hope within reach a t 25-21. From there on, however, Kal-amazoo came back into fas t action and outscored the Dutch to gain their 13-point margin at the end of the game.

Spalsbury Leads Kazoo Spalsbury stood out fo r the Hor-

nets. He dropped 17 points through the hoop to lead the Kalamazoo attack. Howard also stood out) in the game. His floor play with that of Jones under both baskets ac-counted fo r much of the Hornet ball control. With the two men caging the ball from off the board, Hope's five found itself playing a defen-sive game.

The game ended the season fo r the local players, and ended the career of Don Thomas, only Hope senior. Hope now roosts in second place, and although the Dutch fail-ed to gain recognition as the first team to take two cage titles in succession in more than a decade, the boys maintained Coach Bud Hinga's record of never falling be-low third in the league since he be-came coach here.
