WILL HOLD TRACK MEET OCTOBER 22 Annual Fall Event la One of Series Planned by Coach "Indian" Schulte The annual fall track and field meet, which is one of a series of meets Coach Schulte has planned to hold this fall, will be held on the af ternoon of October 22. This meet will be the first opportunity this fall for the men out for track to score points toward the track numeral. All events will be of regulation A. A. U. distances except the hurdle events. Instead of the 110-yard high hurdles the GO-yard hurdles will be substi tuted instead, while the 220-yard low hurdles will be cut down to 110 yards. More than a hundred men have been out for fall track work this sea son including the distap" men who are devoting their time to cross coun try. Coach "Indiun" Schulte has been, permitted to give his entire attention to track in the fall for the first time in years and he has been taking advantage of this privilege. Assisting him are all of the older track men. Billy Hein has been working with the sprinters while Frank Wirsig has been helping the men in the pole vault. In the dis tances Jimmy Lewis has been in charge under the direction of Schulte who is handling the Husker harriers. The fall meet will give the men a chance to test themselves in compe tition. It is a sort of goal for the men who are spending their first year out for track, or who are not competing in cross country this fall. The numeral requirements which are posted on the track bulletin in the stadium will be the basis for the scoring. Twelve points in two ar more events must be made in order to win a numeral, 'and only eleven Points can be made (n one individual event Mortar Board Acts as Hostess at Weekly Tea The second of the weekly teas sponsored by the Associated Women students for all University women will be held this afternoon from 4 to 6 o'clock at Ellen Smith hall.

Tho traditions of her ancient cul tures saved Italy from communism after tho Great War, declared Dr. Hartley B. Alexander, chairman of tho philosophy department, in an ad dress to tho World Forum yesterday on "The Significance of Monuments to Civilization." Dr. Alexander em phasized tho importance of all such monuments as great works in liter ature, art, sculpture, architecture and other reminders of past artistic achievement. Tho civilization of the United States is still barbarous in that it has produced so littlo In the arts, declared the speaker who stated that it was not at all certain that this nation will ever have an important civilization. A good many nations which have gone as far as the United States have never attained civiliza tion, nor will this country unless more emphasis is put on the less materialistic side of life in favor of a national culture which is charac teristic American. Quoting a well-known architect to the effect that the United States will never produce a domestic architec ture until the development of the family has taken place, the speaker pointed out that this nation , will never develop monuments of civili zation until it has developed its cul ture. A start has been mado in architecture, stated the speaker, and he feels confident that there will eventually be an American art and literature which will be worth while contributions to world civilization. In opening his speech, Dr. Alex ander stated that Italy was now in the hands of the Facisti and not in the hands of the communists largely because the Facisti have stood for the ancient civilization of Roman times and have preserved the tradi tions of past culture which the com munists would have swept away. The civilization of France is hang ing in the balance and is in greater danger of extinction than was that of Italy, according to the speaker. He stated that if it is preserved it will be because of the love of the French for their traditional culturo and the expressions of the artistic natures of their peoples. There is now in progress a great exhibition of artistic productions in which the French take great pride because of the quality of their work represented in Paris. Although there is a great influx of foreigners who are replac ing the men of France lost in the war and in spite of the fact that there will be a new blood injected into the French population, Dr. Alexander declared that he thought their civilization would be preserved because of the pressure brought by their monuments of the past. PLAN PARTY FOR HOMECOMING DAY Committee Discusses All-University Mixer To Be Given on the Eve ning of October 24 Plans for the Homecoming party which will be given Saturday, Oct ober 24, were discussed at a meet ing of the All-University party committee held yesterday afternoon.

And .vhere the girls are, the lawn is fast receding from the sidewalks. But the co-eds are not without .heir defenders. Some proclaim for them, "Tis not their fault. It's the boys who despoil the lawns." But 'et one explain. "You see it's this way. The boys are so polite that they can't bear to see the girls walk in the grass. Of course, being in 1 hurry, or wanting to saunter along fide a merry group, the only way op n for them is to swish through the ever shortening grasses. So you see t would not be fair to place the blame other than upon the men of che University." Defense, alibis, etc, are fast and readily formed.

Will Complete Installation of New Gallery for Rifle Practice Monday The rifle gallery installation in the southwest basement of Mechanical Engineering building will be com pleted by Monday of next week. The steel plate protection back of the targets, and flood lights, hav been installed. All that remains to be done is the clearing away of some experimental apparatus now stored in the room, and installation of the equipment at the firing points. There will be eight firing points for the four standard positions of firing, and one for standing shooting only.

Mr. Jorgenson, who has heard Dr. Gilkey speak several times, calls him "one of America's greatest preachers. Many students of tho University of Chicago prefer going to Dr. Gilkey's Hyde Park church rather than attending Mandel Hall where a different nationally known pastor addresses the student body each week." The dinner which will start very promptly at G o'clock will be over by 8 o'clock. College songs, music and special entertainment are on the pro gram.
