A
ROUND
AND
BOUT
With
Sarah Louite Meyer
FOR years mere man lias . been
reiterating: Bill Shakespeare's
famous "Frallity, thy name is
woman!" It can't be beat. But
Nina Wilcox Putnam has formu
lated a right fair come-back: ,"Men
are as transparent as cellophane
and as hard to get rid of, once
you become wrapped up in them."
Such adept verbage might be
relished by Dr. Ti. W. Franz.
That worthy professor of En
glish savors a well turned out
phrase as the epicure gloats
over culinary perfection, cher
ishing it, lingering over it with
a frantic gleam in his eye.
He Is also a superior racon
teur, choosing each word with
the utmost care and chukling de
lightedly when a particularly
apt verbal dish results. He has
even been known to smack his
lips at a choice bit. Perhaps it's
a carry-over fro his charming
wife's southern cooking.
I still like the explanation of the
old belief that ghosts could be ad
dressed only in Latin; It seems
that that medium of expression
was successful because it is a
dead language.
Ability to speak of anything at
all, however, is not a lost art with
Prof. Harold Stoke. He has mar
velous talcs to tell about the bliz
zards of his childhood, the early
days of the university, or the trials
of keeping a handsome son in
funds. Loyal to the school with
which he has been associated lo
these many years, he keeps par
ticular faith with those employes
of the school who have grown old
in the harness and been retired.
Last year he sponsored the
cause of one Jack Uhl, for over
three decades in the service of the
university, who had been taken off
the payrolls at the age of 76. He
has long been advocating fair
pensionings for worthy but inse
cure aged, with all the fire of a
true instructor in political science.
And we don't mean sissy poli sigh!
I wish Arnic Levin would cease
gloating over his brain child:
Tarzan Stripes forever. Perhaps he
should have a chat with the little
pledge who commented that yes,
thank you. she had met some very
nice boys on the campus, but not
one had aroused the animal in
her. ..!

"Summer" school having con
tinued for two weeks and the
general enthusiasm of the stu
dents having decreased cor
respondingly, the spell was fi
nally broken by a little rain
and the lack of energy on the
part of the students was left
without an alibi.
Would be philosophers pon
dered on the possibility of
spring in autumn and whether
or not it would last into winter
while they "caked" and waited,
with the rest of the campus
population, for the little shower
to cease. Those who were over
ly enthusiastic about the
change in weather enjoyed the
walk home thru the rain and
the sprinklers, which had been
left on by those pessimistic
enough to think the small

attainments and traditions, for one
additional week witbout paying a

nounced bv Howard Kirkpatrick,
director of the school of music and
conductor of the choral society.
The course, which offers one
hour credit, requires two hout of
class attendance each week, enner
on Monday and Wednesday at 11
or on Tue.day and Thursday at 2.
and meets in Morrill hall.
"This semester the work will
include the study of the or itorio.
The Elijah' by Mendelssohn,
which we will present before the
holidays this year in place of 'The
Messiah'," Kirkpatrick stated.
"Men aie especially needed in the
classes this year, although the
registration Is about 200, practi
cally the same as in former
yeais."
The choral union, now in Its for
tieth year, was founded by Carrie
B. Raymond and is the oldest
group organization in the univer
sity. It is open to all university
students who are interested in
singing and attempts to give a
cultural knowledge of music to
the greatest possible number of
students. Singing, it Is believed,
is the best medium by which this
may be accomplished.
"The Messiah" was presented
last ;car for the thirty-eighth
time 'and although It will not be
produced this year, it will prob
ably be given again the next
year. "The Elijah" will be pre
sented to afford variety for stu
dent and give them a chance to
sing something different.
