Miss Mary Graham, the dean of women, will be chaperone of the party. If the dance proves popular, another will be given soon, and yet another.

The College World SCHOOLS OF JOURNALISM BECOMING NUMEROUS IN COLLEGES OF COUNTRY Schools of journalism are becoming very numerous In the colleges and uni versities of the country, and from now on many of tho newspapers will take their recruits to editorial work from the ranks of journalism graduates.

A center buck, Oh. heck, what luck, Say, coach, you chuck That fullback. We've lost the ball, Go, get a maul, And brain them all, The greasers. Look at 'em go We've got no show, Our line's like dough Un(e)levened. A fumble, that, See, what a spat, Here, hold my hat, I'll part 'em.

YIDDISH NOW TAUGHT IN UNIVERSITY CLASS A study of the Yiddish language, a dialect of German and Hebrew spoken in Jewish communities, has been in augurated in the department of Sem itics and Hellenistic Greek at the University of Wisconsin and is being given for the first time this fall. Wis consin is probably the first university in the country to teach this language which is thought by many to be mere ly a dialect with an unteachable grammar. The first class In Yiddish is com posed of seven persons, all of whom have either spoken the language or have heard is spoken frequently. A knowledge of German Is necessary to the learning of Yiddish because so much of the language comes from Ger man. The only knowledge of Hebrew necessary Is an acquaintance with the alphabet. Not only will the students In the course learn to read and write Yid- f , ' ' i. Sv , S ' ' x - ' FRANK A PETERSON Class '05, Law '10 Democratic Candidate for COUNTY ATTORNEY dish, but they will make a study of some of the best works written in that tongue. The stories of "Mr. How-do-you-do," the recent Yiddish author who is J. Rabinovitz in life, will be studied especially. Mr. Rabinovitz is some times known as the Jewish Mark Twain for tb rich humor in his works. Some of the Yiddish newspapers that ,are published in America will be stud ied In the course. The course in Yiddish is especially interesting to journalists and other writers because the communities of Jewish people in the cities form al most an unlimited field for ideas in feature writing and fiction.

THE NATION'S SEED-BED A contented rural population is not only the measure of our nation's strength, an assurance of its peace when there should be peace, and a re source of courage when peace would be cowardice, but it is the nursery of the great leaders who have made this country what it is. , Washington was born and lived In the country. Jefferson was a farmer. Henry Clay rode his horse to the mill through the slashes. Webster dreamed amid the solitude of Marshfield. Lincoln was a rail splitter. Ben Hill walked between the han dles of the plow. Brown peddled barefoot the product of his patch. Stephens found immortality under the trees of his country home. Toombs and Cobb and Calhoun were country gentlemen, and, afar from cities' maddening strife, established that greatness that is the heritage of their people. The cities produce very few leaders. Almost every great man In our history formed his character In the leisure and deliberations of our village or country life. Exchange.

MORNING SALE OF STUDENT TICKETS (Continued from Page One) BAN PUT ON AUTOS BY CALIFORNIA SCHOOL Wealth is a harilcap to the college studert and the poor boy he 9 the ad vantage, according to Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, president of Leland Stanford university, in a statement today. As a consequence of this belief Dr. Wilbur decreed that beginning this year autoa may not be owned by stu dents; that too frequent dences, the purchase of expensive flowers for co eds and Eimilar luxuries will be banned. Dr. Wilbur is bo convinced he Is right about this that he has sent a circular letter to students' parents saying students with too much money football games are on the home grounds this year. Every game ex cept the Wesleyan game is a confer ence game, so the rooters are getting more for their money than ever befefre. Not only do the tickets admit to the football games, but they also admit the students to the basketball games and the track meets as well. There will be not less than half a dozen bas ketball games, and at least two. track meets on the home grounds.
