The band is going to Portland, and when it gets there and plays
"Come Arunnin Boys" when our football team shows the people in
Oregon how we play the game out here, when Cook makes a touch
down, or when "Tim" kicks goal from center, and we're all standing
"round the bulletin board in front of the Star office, making bets and
going wild, well certainly be thankful we dug down in our pockets and
paid our dollar to go to the benefit dance at the Auditorium, October
13, so that the band could be there to put "pep" into the players.
And we'll say that the Innocents knew what they were doing all
right when they gave that dance to raise the money. Won't we?
The Girl's club membership campaign starts this noon and by Fri

which is loaned to deserving women students at the University.
Wouldn't a big permanent concrete stadium be nice out there
where those ancient planks are placed?

Who put the hell in Pan Hellenic
Why, the United States postoffice,
Dantes' idea was aTJ wrong. The orig
inal inferno is a mob of intersorority
delegates chewing their nails because
their second week date books sup
posedly delivered bright and early on
the Sabbath morning by special de
livery were not delivered At all nntil
the gray gloom of lato Monday had
settled down over the city and the
rushees had made out their second
week social calendar -without know!
edge that all the cards had not yet
arrived.
There are many sad points in this
storv. but the saddest of all is the
complete disintegration of an ideal
The girls of Pan Hellenic had alwayi
thought of the United States postof
fice as a perfect, infallible, gray coated
organization that could do no wrong
Tie mail service downed the idiosyn
cracies of the past winter, has lived
through the Seattle fire and survived
the Christmas rush for more than fifty
years, but down it went last Sunday
under the -unexpected onslaught of the
350 special delivery letters directed by
the unseen hand of the eternal femi
nine on the University of Washington
campus.
And the brunt of the -whole misera
ble affair was an innocent fledgling
who had been left in charge of the
special delivery department while his
superiors went on a -vacation. The de
luge began to overtake him at 5 o'clock
Sunday morning. The girls stayed tip
all night to get their mail off in the
first delivery. They had a mental pic
ture of a phalanx oLmailmen on motor
cycles starting out in the foggy, gray
dawn with the letters in their bags
and grim delight in the pursuance of
their government's business written in
their faces.
What actually happened was a fren
zied scurrying of the postal service's
delivery staff of one over the hills of
the Queen City, in a vain attempt to
deliver fifty specials as opposed to the
usual five or six. By 4 that afternoon
weak and wan and "agin the govern
ment," the lad was beginning to see
the end of the awful siege. And now
comes the most horrible part of this
horrible tale. Triumphant, he reported
to his office, his duty done and food
sight and the man in charge pre
sented him with the answers to the
notes he had been distributing all day
One hundred and fifty there wore.
In the meantime Pan Hellenic had
called a meeting to consider the matter
calmly. One sorority was absolutely
without second week dates; not a
single card had been answered. Oth
ers had heard by divers means that
the precious letters had not been re
ceived. That was when everything
broke loose at once at the Chi Omega
house at 4 o'clock Monday afternoon.
hen the meeting was held. Conster
nation settled down on the group and
the jinx Tuled. Imagine a rushing sys
tem which it had taken months to
perfect gone flat at the most crucial
moment and all because the United
StateB mail gummed the cards. By
means the answers should have
reached the sororities by noon of that
Monday. It was 4 o'clock and few of
them had been heard from. The mat
ter was beyond even the feminine re
sourcefulness of Pan Hellenic and it
has concocted some of the most elab
orate schemes the" campus has ever
seen. The meeting broke up in dis
gusted confusion to meet again that
night.
In those few intervening hours the
lone messenger who had the key to
the situation and the special delivery
lotters Bald thumbs up on the propo
sition. By 8 o'clock all the answers
had boon received with the exception
of one sorority's answers that never
came back. The Jinx was off and the
girls breathed. They gave the sorority
without any second week engagements
the right to rush on Wednesday night,
which was to have been a holiday for
everyone, and agreed that when the
bids go out by special delivery next
Friday tight the postoffice should be
notified a day in advance. Exchange.
HOUSEWIVES MAY COME FOR ONE
DAY COURSES
A series of oneway housekeepers'
institutes may be held during the year
by the extension division of the Uni
versity of Washington under the di
rection of Mary F, Rausch, it such a
series would be desirable to the wom
en of King county.
Those women whose arduous duties
within the household have prevented
attendance at the five-day housekeep
ers' institute held on the campus are
nol to be deprived of the opportunity
for improvement in the arts of the
housewife. Miss Ttansch Is organii
ing a "'great drive,'" the objective of
which is to be the homes themselves.
Any group of thirty women can have
a conference in a private residence, a
school a club or any other place
where a room with a little necessary
equipment for demonstrations can be
had. The fee will be $1, for which
they will receive, in addition to the
advantages of the instruction, printed
recipes and rules for table setting and
serving.
""We do not care to get more than
$50 out of any course," said Miss
Rausch, ""but we have to finance our
work. So any time the nnmber I
students exceeds fifty the group may
have the excess fees to be nsed in
charity, self-improvement or as they
see fit. Churches, societies, parent-
teachers' associations and similar or
ganizations may find the giving of
housekeepers' conferences a profitable :
undertaking."
Different programs win be arranged
for each meeting. Exchange. i

The letter informs ns that there is

from educational institutions making
an investigation on this subject at the
