SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF COLBY WERE BANQUETED MONDAY NIGHT
President And Mrs. Johnson Play Hosts To 47 Members And Guests
The societies of the Sons and Daughters of Colby, composed of stu- dents whose parents attended the col- lege, were guests of President and Mrs. Franklin W. Johnson at dinner in the Alumnae Building on last Mon- day evening at 6.30 o'clock. There are 47 members of these two societies now in college, including six whose grandfathers and three whose great grandfathers attended the institution. Five members of the faculty and staff who also are descended from Colby Alumni were present. After the din- ner the large delegation went into the reception room to enjoy an informal program. President Johnson was the first speaker. His address follows :
The first Colby son to graduate from this college was Samuel W. Mathews of the class of 1854, son of Asa Mathews of the class of 1829.
The Society of the Sons of Colby was founded in the fall of 1920 with 16 members. The group was invited to the home of President Roberts for a dinner which thereafter became an annual event until the President's health failed. The society of the Daughters of Colby was established a few years later.
Looking, now, at the group of Col- by sons and daughters now in college, I find 27 men, 21 girls and five mem- bers of our staff, making a total of 53. The sophomore and junior classes are tied with 13 members in each. There are nine seniors and 13 fresh- men.
The oldest class represented here tonight is the class :of 1825, 107 years ago, in which was graduated Harrison A. Smith, the great-grandfather of Francis Smith. The youngest class to have ..a Representative is the class of
^9^^of^wluch_.thecmojher„qf Beach is a; member.
From 1902 to 1914, only one "class fails to have a representative in col- lege now. The first prize goes to the class of 1903, of which eight members have representatives at Colby, namely : Marion Lewis' father , Ruth Atchley's father and mother, Mary Dudley's father and mother, Donald Smith's mother, Horace Daggett's father, and James Poulin's father.
Tho class of 1909, however, is a close second, with the following mem- bers represented: Lucile Blanchard's fatheV, Evelyn and Norman Taylor's father, Grace Wheeler's father, Clark Chapman 's father, Stanwood Pullen's mother, Harold Kimball's father, and Otis Read's father.
Of the students, 28 had Colby fath- ers, six had Colby mothers, and 10 of you had both parents attend Colby. What might bo called "Third Degree" members of this organiz ation are the seven of you whose grandfathers were Colby graduates, namely: Louise Smith, grandnughter of Stephen Co- burn, '30 ; Hope Bunker, grand-daugh- ter of Aaron APPloton Plaisted, '51; Donald Smith, grandson of Samuel King Smith, '46, who wns a much be- loved professor here for over thirty years ; Clark Chapman , grandson of Wilfred Goro Chapman , '88, Arthur Stetson, grandson of Walter C. Stet- son, '70 ; Hugh Beach, grandson" cif Albert F. Drummond , '88; and Gum- mings Waldon , grandson of John B. Cummings, '84. ' But, I am not through yet! Wa have three .sophomores "who qualify for a still higher degree: Clark Drum- mond Chapman , great-grandson of Josinh II. Drummond , MO; George Putnam , groat-grandson of Hugh Dompsoy, '40; and Francis Smith, groat-grandson of Harrison Avery Smith, '25.
And now, wo should havo some uoi't of a super degree for Laura May Tol- man who is a descendant of Jeremiah Chaplin, the flrst president of this col- Iobo, ! , Tho othor speakers wave Professor Wnvron for tho faculty, Ruth Rams- dell for the women, pick Cummings for tho men , and Miss Grnoo Foster «s a representative for tho women on the faculty.

NINE HOCKEY LETTERS AWARDED STJITE CUPS Maj or "C's" This Year , Good
Prospects For '3 3
Lettermen for the 1932 hockey sea- son have recently been announced. This year the men will receive major letters due to the fact that the State Championship was won by them. It is understood that gold pucks will also be distributed among the letter- men. Those winning their "C's" are :
Captain Malcolm Wilson, '33. Wil- son was a very capable leader whose playing was always an example for his teammates. Center.
Ulric Pomerleau, '33. A fast skater who could elude the best of defense men. Left wing.
Baker Ross, '35. Said by Millett to be the best freshman hockey player ever to pull on skates for Colby. Right wing.
Ewald William Hucke, '34. Aggres- iive,-reliable—best defense.— man in Maine. Hight defense.
Myron Hilton, '32, Lacking in ex- perience, hut a good skater playing a hard steady game. Left defense.
Raoul Henry Violette, '33. Violette was the making of the team. His work at the net could not find a counter- part in a hundred colleges. Goal .
George Macdonald , '33. Macdonald played an important part in making the defense of the team the strong wall that it was. Left defense.
Donald Robitaillo, '34. Playing in three different positions Robitaillo proved to be indespensable. Utility.
Manager John Hill, '33, Might bo seen between periods commanding a gang of ice scrapers. Good work in managing the team brings the remark that he was an excellent manager.
The fine spirit shown by Thomas Hickey, '34, Henry Raneourt , '33, Theodore Taylor, '34, and Thomas Fuller, '3 6, cannot be underestimated in tho development of the team.
In glancing over tho numerals which follow tho above names wo con- clude that in losing but one man that Colby should bo directly in line for another state title.
SORENSON TALKS ON HIS NATIVE ICELAND
Colby Student Enlightens Men on Subject
A very interesting nnd enlighten- in g talk concerning Iceland was given in Friday's chapel by Martin Soron- son , n Colby student from that coun- try. He explained how most people picture Icelan d, ub n small island sit- uated In tho North Atlantic , covered with Ico and inhabited by Eskimos. This idea lie quickly dispelled nnd gave a short history of tho Island and Its inhabitants. Mr. Soronson brough t out tho facts that tho Island 1ms n democratic form of govern- ment , a strict enforcement of tho pro- hibition law, and has no army. It has a tropical climate because of tho beneficial effect of tho Gulf Stream. In tho slimmer tho temperature rises to SB or 00 degrees, and in the win- tor it ruvoly fulls below tho freezin g point, Tho two principal industries nro fishin g; and aheap raising.

SOPRANO AND PIANIST APPEARED IN CONCLUDING CONGER! OF YEAR
Miss Gladys de Almeida And Jose da Costa Were Well Received
The Colby Concert Series of 19321 tones of the singer's voice. These two was ended Tuesday evening, by the brilliant concert of song and piano se- lections given by Miss Gladys de Almeida and her accompanist, Mr. Jose da Costa. The sweet tones of the soprano's voice and the pianist's studied technique captivated and

thrilled the audience. In her first group of songs Miss de
Almeida included "Se il ceil mi di- vide ," an Aria by Piccini, in which hex- voice reached gorgeous heights, ring- ing out in strong; sure notes. The next two songs were lighter in qual- ity and brought out clearly the sweet
numbers were, "Freschi luoghi," by Donaudy, and "Amor Commanda," an Aria by Handel.
The next selections were played by the accompanist , Mr. da Costa and in- cluded "Praeluium," by Macdowell, which required intricate technique; "Saudade," by David de Souza; Cho-p- in 's "Nocturn e in F minor ;" and tlie "Rigoletto Paraphrase/' of Verdi- Liszt. The two most interesting num- bers of this group were: the Saudade antl the Rigoletto Paraphrase. The former is a Portuguese -word which it is impossible to translate into Eng- lish, but which in its meaning both

musically and verbally- stands for the longing which comes from separation , but which in being.' contemplated brings joy and not sadness. The Rigoletto, was..a_familiar;;tu.ne. placed with skill in an interesting interpreta- tion. It seemed almost as if the musi- cian were making the piano talk, his notes were so vivid.
Miss de Almeida's selections which followed were, all French songs with their charming plaintiveness which be- came especially lovely , when inter- preted with the gentleness of . tone which she was so capable of using. Faure's "Claire de Lune," gave an op- portunity for her to bring out not only the sweet high notes, but the low full tones as well. In "Apres un Re-ve," by the same composer, she reached an emotional depth by her sympathetic interpretation . which thrilled the lis- teners, The song, following was De- bussy's "Fantoches ," and in singing tliis Miss de Almeida certainly grave an excellent rendition, of this exotic type of music. She brought oixt a gayness which had dejth beneath, its seeming levity, and although the song was short it was, oh, so expressive ! The last of • these ¦ songs, "Si j'a.-vais vos ailos/' by Message., had a lilt which carried it along joyously,
These lighter songs wore folio-wed by compositions of a more intense typo, two of them being . Gorman songs and three written by American composers, Tho two German pieces brought out tho full clear tones of hor voice , being rather dramatic songs. Tlie first, "Un d gostorn hat er," by Mnrx , showed an intensity of emotion , whilo Ruhonstoin 's "Es blinkt dor Thau ," seemed to bo a plaintive plea of haunting tones fad- ing out into one soft noto. The song "Spring," written by Margaret Starr McClnin , nn d sung from manuscxipt, ¦wns a joyous hopeful bit of music, in keeping with its title; whilo Charles Hopper 's "Cnrmoncita ," which was dedicated to Gladys do Almeida, had the swing wo always associate with «uy singovB of tho southern countries. The (lnnl song in this group was tho moro familiar "Song1 of tho Open ," hy Prank La Forgo, brin ging out in its wild pattern of not o tho careless abandon of the Gypsy soul.

Treasure Hunt, Prom, Ball Game and Open House
Plans are under way to resume the Junior Week-End which has not been held for several years. This -will take place on the fifteenth and sixteenth of April. As it is now planned "the week end will begin with a mammoth treas- ure hunt on Friday afternoon. This will be rather unique in that instead of running around on foot , as is usu- ally the case in an affair of this kind , the sleuths will dash around from "Dan to Boersheba" in their gas en- gines, Otherwise than this the hunt will bo quite similar to the treasure hunt as we know it, This treasure hunt is an experiment. It is also a good experiment. In order for it to be a success, though, tho student body will have to polish up their kitty-cars, brush off their bicycles, and fill their gas tanks.| A fitting prize will bo awarded to tho winner. Lot's get out and bring homo tho bacon,
Tho gala event of Colby's social calendar will be tho Junior Prom on Friday evening, The services of Lloyd Rafnoll and his Georgians have been secured for the danco. Neither ho nor his band need any introduction to Colby students, So af tor you have re- turned from tho treasure hunt, dig out your tux and your host girl and trot thorn both to tho l ig formal danco of tho year, Tho dance will bo good , and tho music will bo good. You had bet- tor not miss it.
On Saturday afternoon there is to bo n ball game, This game is already being arranged by Coach Roundy, Following tho gnxrie, during tho after- noon and onrly evening, chasers will bo hold in the -various fraternities. There will bo dancing in the different houses, ouch of which is to bo open to nil tlio -mon of Colby,

INTERESTING SCIENTIFIC LECTURE CONCLUDES THIS SEASON'S SERIES
Dr. A. H. Pillsbury Presents First X-Ray Moving Pictures Ever Taken
The final lecture of the Colby Lec- ture Series was given by Doctor A. II. Pillsbury in the First Baptist Church. This last lecture wns a fit- ting conclusion to the 1031-32 series. Doctor Pillsbury is a man of wide ex- periences. He is a scientist, explorer , naturalist ; bu.t, as Professor Chester said in introducing him, ho is above all a hum-in being. Dr. Pillsbury has made some exceedingly interesting observations of great scientific value by moans of his lapso-timo moving picture camera. By moans of this camera it is possible to watch plant growths which ordinarily tako weeks, take place on tho screen in a few min- utes. This is done by taking compar- itivoly fo-sv exposures. Dr. Pillsbury has arranged a device by which pic- tures can bo taken at tho rate of from thirty a second to ono ovoiy thirty minutes,
Dr. Pillsbury showed to tho enthus- iastic audience six reels of his pic- turos. Five of them depicted plant life. 'Die films showed tho plants ns seeds, showed thorn sprout , grow, blossom ,-md thon dry up. Special at- tention was paid to tho blossoming of tho buds, All of thoso pictures woro tinted In thoir natural colors, This lent n realistic touch to thorn that made thorn all tho more interest- in g.
Another development of Dr, Pills- bury 's is tho X-Ray moving? picture, This is dovolo pod on the snmo princi- ple as tho lapso-timo moving picture only that tho films aro X-Ray films, Results woro obtained which later proved to bo not 6nly Interesting but also of enormous scientific -value. It Involves ei tremendous oxponso to tnlco pictures of this typo, , A third typo of picture •which Dr. Pillsbury presented was tho micro- scopio lapso-timo moving picture. Horo ho showed what ono sees on looking through tho most powerful of mlcroscoiioH, Only instead of having to watch for woolts nt n timo bent over tho instrument, nil that ono has to do Is to watch-tho screen for a fow
brief moments, By means of this Di\ Pillsbury has taken pictures depict- ing tho fertilization of plants. One could see all that happens in tho growth .of plants and in their forma- tion. As a concluding reel Dr. Pills- bury showed some films that depicted plant life at the bottom of tho sea.
The pictures were exceedingly in- teresting to the average layman, but to the person of scientific mind they woro far more than that—they opened up to this man a world which ho know existed but which he never before hnd hnd the chance to soe.

"The Problem- of .Liquor" is the title chosen for the next editorial con- test sponsored by the Intercollegian. A subject uppermost in the minds of thinking people, a problem which will have to be solved eventually by those who are now college students, the Intercollegian urges that as many as possible give the matter thorough consideration, and furthermore that they contribute thoughtful, constructive proposals. This contest will have great significance by stimulating- local Associations which strive to initiate discussions of the kind.
A social problem which is as important in its relation to the future as it has been in the past should indeed be carefully pondered by every intelli- gent individual. The benefits derived or not derived from the Eighteenth •Amendment have long- been a moot question. This contest provides a way for the person who feels strongly in one way or another to give expression to his opinions in an orderly, thoughtful, and logical manner.
WHY WE ARE HERE. In an earlier issue of the ECHO attention was called to a production of
"The Dreyfus Case" at the State Theatre. The value of this production was educational rather than that of entertainment. It was a source of en- couragement to those who would like to have the local picture houses im- prove the character of their offerings, that such a large number of Colby students patronized the performance. It is gratifying that the manage- ment of the State Theatre has announced the intention of bringing other educationaLfilms to Waterville. Indirectly this will be of educational value to the college, student body, and that section of the city's population which happens to have a taste for the better type of movies.
Furthermore, it is to be hoped that the response of the college commun- ity will be such as to -warrant , the management of the State Theatre to con- tinue this-laudable project. - f On next Monday and Tuesday, March 14 and 15, at 4.30 P. M. and 10.30 E. M. . a .motion picture presenting the story of evolution and entitled tho "Mystery of Life" will be presented. In another column of this issue there :is a description of this much-discussed film. It is understood that Profes- sor. Chester plans to give ono or two lectures explaining its significance,
As a .pictorial achievement and in its human interest , the "Mystery of Life" has been widely acclaimed in the larger cities. The students of Colby College for whose immediate benefit the picture is being brough t here, are to be congratulated in having this and similar opportunities in the near future.. The admission fee will bo very moderate.

"Hollyhock Hop" One of Seasons Best Dances
The sophomore members of the wo- men 's division established a reputa- tion as excellent entertainers at their Hollyhock Hop, which occurred at the Alumnae Building at 8.00 on the evening of March 12. The decora- tions carried out the idea of a garden party, tho walls being bordered with crepc-papo. fences and flowers. A ceiling ol crepc-paper streamers had been arranged , and colored lights were hung corner-wise across the hall.
This attractive and spring-like set- ting furnished an appropriate back- ground for tho gaily-colored drosses of tho feminine element. Seventy- odd couples danced to tho orchestra of the Midnight Sons of Colby,, who interspersed their program with di- verting specialty songs. During inter- mission ice cream , punch , f.nd cookies were served.
Tho dance was under the chaperon- ago of Dean Ninctto M. Runnals , Dr. and Mrs. William J. Wilkinson , Miss Muriel J, MacDougall , and Professor Walter N. Brockonridgc. The com- mittee , under tho competent loader- ship of Mary Ellen Hodgdon , ','14, chairman , is to be congratulated on its fino work. Other members of the committee were tho Misses Mary Burs , E.

CHI GAMMA SIGMA IS NEW PHYSICS GLUE
Officers Elected; Group Is For Best Physics Students
Colby 's newly organized Physics Honorary society is arousing consid- erable interest at its meetings.
. Steps taken last semester , resulted in tho organization of Huh student society, now known as Chi Gamma Sigma, in an attempt to fill a long felt need. Tlio first open mooting took place .on February 19th of this somes- tor.
At this meeting, Bernard PI. Por- ter, gavo u talk on tho life and accom- plishments of Michael Faraday. Mr. Porter presented a resume of the groat experimenter 's life , and illus- trated the latter part of his talk with lantern slides, The speaker succeeded in making Faraday, a very real per- sonality to those present , and vividly described his problems und accom- plishments,
At this sumo nicotine;, Clayton F, Smith developed the principles .of electrical .oscillations and current fro- yuon cies, , Each principle cove rod was well illustrated , for llio whole lectin . table . was .cluttered with appnrutus, The explnnation s may have boon dry to some, hut ono or two of tlio audi- ence wore "shocked" by the nppro- prlatnnos s of tlio experiments. This , In . particular , when Smith , a stoel rod In .each hand , touched tho termiiui l of iV. ToBtln coil.de vel oping over 1,000 ,- 000 'volts , thus brimrin ir his body to that potential , and thon with the other rod , caused n wpark of several inches to jump to nn obliging specta- tor. , The second mooting wns hold on
March 11th. This lime the mooting: was attended hy u lurgor group,
Mr, Kin o Hill presented , tho first piipor , tills on the life nnd work ol.' Jumos P, Joule, Mr.. Hill told of tlio difficulty which Jotilo experienced in tfotthiff yocognition , nCtor his d iscov-
ery of the quantitative relation be- tween ' work, and heat energy. He wont on to show how gradual refine- ment of apparatus resulted in more accurate values for the mechanical equivalent of heat. In closing, Hill displayed and followed through cal- culations based on a recent determin- ation of tlio equivalent which he had made , and thon demonstrated the ap- paratus used , which was on the table before him.
Tho last pap er was presented by Emery S, Dunfce , on sliort radio -waves. This talk was up to tho min- ute. Tho thora pou tic vnluo of short waves was discussed , including refer- ence to tho "Radio fever," and tho "Radio knife." Mr. Dunfce also dis- cussed tho workings of the low capa- citance vneumo tube , which makes possible these ultra-short wave lengths —waves so short that they resemble in ninny respects, ligh t waves.
Discussion nnd questioning fol- lowed both of those papers , and later tho audience broke up Into groups , to continue tho discussion, Many pres- ent stopped to admire a neatly de- signed nnd compact four tube short wave receiver , built by Forrest C. Tyson , Jr.
Tho next mooting of tho society will follow soon after the spring vaca- tion , at which time Tyson , an d G. Donald Smith will probably present papers.
Eligibility for membership requires un average of 13, or better for two years of Physics , though all Inter- ested students of both divisions ore invited to attend all announced meet- ings,

"Vacation finds Colby students wend- ing their way to their homes. Vaca- tion today -is a simple affair in com- parison to the features of by-gone days. Little does the student worry about the time or convenience of travel. Olden times found very dif- ferent conditions confronting hopeful ¦vacationists. The record of change in Colby vacation travels is a descrip- tion of the typical growth of modern American methods of travel.
Two of the Colby men this year are to fly by plane to New York in order to save a day of their vacation. Tlie actual time will be between two and three hours. Compare this with the methods used by the first president of this college, who spent nearly a week coming from Boston.
Jeremiah Chaplin , the fixst presi- dent of the institution , came from Boston in the summer of 1818, accom- panied by his family and a few stu- dents. They set sail in a sloop from Salem on a Saturday, proceeded along the coast and entered the Kennebec, finally docking at the "port" of Au- gusta the following Wednesday. There they changed to "long boats" and went up the river propelled by wind part of the way and towed by oxen when the breeze failed. Not until the next day did they step ashore at Waterville. The whole ti'ip from Salem taking about the same length as a rather slow liner needs to go from New York to Liverpool today.
Even a number of years later, travel was no easy task. We have the
record of James Upham, of the class of 1835, telling of his trips from Bos- ton by ship and tho inconvenience of being becalmed for a week near the mouth of the Kennebec. Stage coaches also were available, but the winter trips in these -were none too comfortable, according to his descrip- tion.
"Tete a tete in stage coaches with travelers whose tongues soon stiffened with the cold that stiffened their fin- gers, with drivers who warmed up in- wardly at every bar >ve stopped at, and became very Jehus down the icy hilts; rides till midnight, with an early start the next morning—in one of those midnight rides we were over- turned and 1 still carry the scar of a long gash which laid my skull bare— these things, and the like, suggest that some of us who climbed the hill of Science in those days did not find all tlie difficulty in the climbing. Still , tliey are now like the ship-wrecked Mariner 's experiences, 'very pleasant in the distant retrospect.' "
But it took more than a few hard- ships in those days to discourage such Uicls with a craving for knowledge who came to Waterville College and went through the rigorous intellectual grind and stern discipline of the old college.
So my dear readers, as you. roar along towards home let your thoughts wander to scenes of the past. Pic- ture yourself as back in those times of tedious journeys and perhaps the passage of time will not seem so irri- tatingly slow.

There was a "Pastoral" (Portxiguese) by Viiumn da Motta with its sweet flute-like sounds made even sweeter by Miss de Almeida 's voice, _Y Span- ish Folk-Song was among this group, "Mo gustan todns," whilo the con- cluding number was "Pnpoulas," a Portuguese song composed by Alber- to Sarti. As un encore the soprano sang an intriguing Spanish song about a little street gamin entitled "Cnrn Sucin ," by Canaro. ¦ ¦ ,
At tho conclusion of the concert tho members of tho Concert Board served eoil'oo in tho reception room for Miss do Almeida , Mr, da Costa , and Mrs. do Almeida , who accompanied her daughter on tho trip, President and Mrsi Johnson and Donn Ruimuls woro among the guests invited.

COLBY DEBATERS MET TUFTS MONDAY
Lemoine and Finch Repre- sent Colby
Last Monday afternoon at 3.30, Colby college met Tufts on the plat- form of debate considering the ques- tion , Resolved, That the several states should enact legislation providing for compulsory unemployment insurance to which the employer shall contrib- ute. The Colby affirmative was made up of Harold Lemoine and Robert ..'inch. Charles Geary and Edward Yearns upheld the negative for Tufts, Jhis interesting non-decision debate vvas presided over by Sumner P. Mills j f the deba ting squad.
The affirmative presented the pres- ent deplorable conditions existing in the world today and contended that die fundamental cause for unemploy- ment is the lack of purchasing power. They intended to continue this pur- chasing power by installing compul- sory state-wide insurance. This would tend to level the peaks of the busi- ness cycle thus making more -uniform living conditions throughout the coun- try. Tlioy also showed the inade- quacy of charitable organizations to
¦' In women's chapel, on March 14, Doctor Robert Dexter of the Ameri- can Unitarian Association gave an in- teresting talk on the critical, social, and economic conditions in the coal mine districts of West Virginia. ' He said that the greatest problem of unemployment brougbt about by the decreased demand for soft coal, was the result of substitution of oil for coal for marine purposes, in- creased use of water power, the re- suit of scientific study of coal, and the increase of mechanization. He furthermore stated that shut off from any outside contacts, the inhabitants of the districts are unable to obtain a living in other fields of work; hence starvation and lack of clothing is common among the larger families.
At present the Quakers are doing a great deal to help better the living conditions in the mining districts, and Dr. Dexter pointed out that since modern industry in its strife for suc- cess entirely disregards the human element, it is our duty to do all -we can to accelerate the betterment of conditions.

(Editor's Note: We received the following letter from the Hotter, and have decided to print it in its entirety. —R. B. A.) ^fe Dear Ralph:—
A slow, jerkbig train speeding thru the night to Watsrville may seem liie a funny place to write a Plotter's Col- umn, but, althc out of touch with tie gossiping angle of the Colby campus, the week-end cables that I have re- ceived at my Commonwealth Avemie pent house from my many assistan-ts, have allowed me to keep a thumb on the pulse of the Blue aad the Gray. Tell you about it soon.
But I've got a new idea, Ralph. You know I have to watch the column pretty carefully for fea_ it will go stale on me, and to put some new Life into it, tell me what you think of this poetry angle: Kay King- was a girl from Augusta. . . Her eyes had a delicate lusta . . . To Colby she came . . . and she will win fame . . . For she has half the men all ailusta . . . . Get the idea? Or something like this maybe: To call for a girl . . . at Mary Low . . . A guy's gotta have . . . A pile of dough . - . Or, ho-w's this: A girl you'll like . . . is Ginny Haight . . . She never fails . . . to keep a date ! That ought to go over big with you. And try this over on your musical saw: You'd better be wary of Do Donnell . . . Her smile could send . .. a man to—heaven ! Or this: A girl you'll worry about . . . is Cleo Tuttle . . . The things she does . . . Are much too subtle! And finally: A girl you'll like . . . is sweot Lib Swanton . . . She's got the stuff . , . that you'll be wantin'! Well, how do you like it? No? Ho-hum, let it go! Olney Anthony, my travelling companion , didn 't think much of it either. Ev Cole sent nae the follow- ing:
© HODGDON'S HOLLY H O C K HOP: The dimly lighted girls' gym was the scene of another of the Colby undergrad frolics last Sat. evening when the sophomore co-eds enter- tained their partner addicts of rhyme and rhythm -with a few flings on the hazardous floor. The gym itself was decorated with red-green-blue and pink streamers with the same assort- ment of colored bulbs interspacing then, while the walls were banked with an attractive imitation of a hol- lyhock garden . . . but enough of
landscape . . . In the receiving line we shook palms with Pete Mills— those of us who couldn 't escape in through the other door . . . Stan Clement and Marion Ross found no fault with the over-waxed floor . . . Al Vose and partner danced senti- mentally . . . the Caddoo-Dignam combo was smooth . . . and we don't know yet whether Perkins came with Malcolm or Caddoo . . . also noticed Watson and "Skip" Flood with Maine Co-eds . . . Irv. Malsch. and his big moment . . . We don't blame you for not -wanting to swap a dance Packert but supposing some of us want to do a little course crabbing in Geology? . . . Keno Rolfe and Bertha added the finishing touches to a successful affair by making a grand Slam. . . . we're purposely omitting theMaestro's customary, after the dance dirt for the benefit of C. T. and P. R., but we can't fail to give credit to Mary Ellen for the success of a huge evening. @ And here, Ralph, is where I go into my act, taking a wild guess at what's probably happened during the past few days. Stay with me!
DID YOU KNOW! That Mary Low has gone the Deke's one better and have both a Black List and Gigolo List ? . . . That Dot Campbell lias to stand on a chair to answer the phone? . . . That the girls haven't found out yet who my M. L. spy is—and tliey're way off the track ? . . . That six peo- ple told me that Libby forgot, and wore his pin? . . . That Elsie Maun- der and Evelyn Taylor checked out for C. G.? . . . That the co-or-ds are taking advantage of Leap Year—and phoney nickels? . . . That Geo. Mac- Donald is seeking a beautiful co-ed for the Zete formal? Qualifications: Chi O, five feet two, platinum blonde, Brave!! . . . That he's in the wrong section of the country ? . . . . That there is a most interesting story teller at Foss Hall, and I may give you names some day? . . . That Nita Viles confirms a rumor started by Sarah Toab e (unconfirmed) that since Bates has decided to run their Prexy for Gov., Brit Webster is backing Jim Blok for President on the Socialist ticket? , . . That we'll have to give our Congrats to Don Taylor, and our best wishes to Mary Barbar^a . . . That Pussy Foot Williams and that charming Judge's daughter from the western section of the city may land at city hall for contempt of court? . . That a fellow is rushing his room- mate's gal ? . . . That Sug and Eddie Rick weren't allowed to dance more than three dancea Sat nite? . . . Haw ! . . . That Frosh Berry's measles are the cause of some co-ords losing their school-girl complexion, . . . That with the approach of springtime and all that's sweet and beautiful, a daily figure basking in the warm sun at the corner of Main and Temple is Henry P. "Dizzy" Ran- court? . . . That since one girl it calling her boy-friend "Angel," things have been heavenly ? . . . That we're going to call Mary Smith "Miss At- lantic City" because she has a bored walk? . . . That if you redly like those poems, how's this: A.nnoying girl . . . Verna McGoe . . . Doesn 't give . . . a hang for me I . . . That from his remarks we may assume that Dr. Parmenter forgot all about Chem- istry when ho was in Paris. . . and speaking about Paris, Georgie Mann , the old pretzel bender , thinks he is going to lease a studio there next year . . . That's all, Andy, if you can make a column out of that—go ahead!

meet the needs of our unemployment situation. Unemployment insurance would not only act as a relief in times of depression but would also have cer- tain economic advantages.
The negative advocates showed that compulsory unemployment insurance had failed in the countries where it has been tried. T.iey quoted figures from England, Germany, and Italy which proved conclusively that Euro- pean systems had been nothing more than government subsidies. The nega- tive further maintained that the plan presented by the affirmative would be detrimental to the employer, the em- ployee, and to society as a whole. The gentlemen from Tufts were very suc- cessful in refuting the arguments pre- sented by Colby.
