TOM DAVIES, KOSMET
By Sarah Louise Meyer.
Although he violently ob
jects to being damned with
loud praise (you know, every
gal prays and prays for thein
ovrs and hair) and "let' skip
it's" about himself, Thomas Mock
ett Davies, of Utica and Sigma Al
pha Epsilon. has a friend or two
who will tell you freely that he's
pretty much on the acceptable

Tbe little habit of snapping his
Jaws together at everything at all
personal perhaps is a carry-over
from tbe spirit of the alligator In
tbe shadow of whoe skin he exe
cutes the affairs of the Kosmet
Klub. Then too, the Phi Delta Phi
pride Is "taking up law." which
somehow bushes one we near.
But Blackatone and alligator skins
aside, we're sure that in spite of
a reticence to talk Tom baa noth
ing to tide.
Concerning careers legal, bow
