Alpha Sigma Phi, last night on the
Coliseum floor, walloped Delta lau
Delta, 28 to 6. Although the score
seems lopsided, the Delts pushed the
Alpha Sigs throughout the game and
fought to the last whistle.
Many time during the conflict,
Delt "set-ups" went for naugh, which
can almost be blamed on Lady Luck.
From the beginning the Alpha Sigs
passed swiftly and shot fairly ac
curately to soon pile up the score.
Norling was the individual star in
the scoring column with 13 points to
his credit Urban was second in scor

on the floor although not scoring
many points. The box score is as

instructor in chemistry, which ap
peared in the January number of
the Journal of Chemical Education,
one of the several American Chem

In this article, Dr. Washburn gives
lecture demonstrations on the pre
paration of artificial silk and on the
froth flotation process, which is used
for concentrating ores. Much of
the work which led to the develop
ment of these demonstrations was
carried out last year by Myron John

Members of the debating team
have been formally assigned to the
sides which they are to defend, ac

day evening, at 4 o'clock and again
at 7:15 the eight men chosen for the

"Resolved: That Secretary Kellogg's
Policy in Central America Should be

Co-Eds Work
Professors
Not Subjects
Minneapolis, Minn., Feb. 6. (By
D. U. C. P.) Coeds at the Univer
sity of Minnesota find that the eaiest
way to get through college is to work
the profs not to work at their sub
jects. It was demonstrated here that wo
men do not do more work or better
work than the men, but nevertheless
they get higher grades. This is due
to the influence the female has over
a male's mind, was the conclusion
drawn.
Statistics show that, of those who
graduate under the present system,
a girl who measures intellectually 25
on a scale of 100 has as gcod a
chance at graduation as a man with
a mental ability of 35.

Invariable are Mrs. Ticknor's part

the affirmative, though sometimes
the tone is doubtful. She turns
quickly to the person next in line,
"I will take you next." And that per

which is immediately closed.

Opening Time
Of Library Is
Placed at 7:50
Extra Ten Minutes Will Give
Sufficient Timo to Check
Books Properly
Do you remember John the boy
who worried because 8 o'clock, the
official hour of opening the library,
was all wrong! John had come with
a bunch of boys who had eight
o'clock classes, and they were stand
ing in front of the library. It was
the ten minutes before eight that
John had to wait for the janitor to
unlock the library doors that caused
all John's grief. But let us quote
from the Daily Nebraskan:
"Bill rushed in on his way to an
eight o'clock with a, book, due in at
eight. He shoved it through the slot
in the locked doors and heard it tum
ble to the floor below. While John
waited outside, some fifteen or
twenty students pushed their books
through the door. Each time he
heard the sound of books crumpling
to the floor, some with bound edge
down, some open edge down, some
top or bottom up, but always thud
ding against the floor or the tumbled
books below. And the janitor stood
and watched the books pile in a
messy heap while he waited for eight
o'clock the official opening hour."
John's mind may rest in peace now
as far as the library books are con
cerned. No longer need he hear the
thud-thud of books falling through
the slot to the floor. No longer will
he have to stand on the outside look
ing on the inside while the janitor

Dakota Women Study
Scientific Pies in the
Homa Ec Department
Vermillion, S. D., Feb. 6. Scien
tific pies, m fact, scientific custtard
pies, are the subject of study among
the young women of the University
of South Dakota. The research is
being carried on in the home eco
nomics department under the direc
tion of Miss Agnes Mary Galvin, as
sistant professor of home economics.
According to Miss Galvin, "Even
the housewife whose omelets are the
fluffiest sometimes wonders how she
can continue serving that 'egg a day'
without defeating her own purpose
and making her family tire of eggs.
Here the custard comes into its own
as an intriguing way to include that
necessary egg in the hietary." And
so the state university coeds have
been devising new ways to serve
custards, tome of which they claim
are even more delicious than the
good old custard pie, which in the
minds of the movie-going public has
almost lost its right association since
the origin of the slap-stick comedy.
