Princeton 'Lonely Hearts'
Club Hoaxes Vassar Girls

when we have no males?"
When the Poiighkeepsie damsels
heard that the whole scheme was
a hoax, they vigorously denied
that they had taken it for any
thing but a juke In the first place.
Vivian Liebnian, editor of "Miscel
lany News" ran a kidding article
in the paper the next day to prove
that everybody knew it was nil a
"Mouth mmm, mmm."
"We raise our voices to disclaim
publicly our sympathies with the
Lmely Hearts club. We know
from past experiences every

then conceivuhle that any r re
lent atives of Old Nassau should
rtnop to advertising for more mail,
more contact with the fair sex?
Vale men suffer from loneliness,

sml real the Vassar correspond

were only kidding. How, they
mid, would you explain a letter
which rend: "My hair is coppery

they change color. Mouth mmm,

"I am so darned tired of seeing
n empty mailbox every day. I'll

Before the two Prlnce'on soph
omores let it be known that they
were no longer in the market for
lonely hearts, letters began com

Tennis Courts Inundated
For Ice Skaters.
Ice skating addicts on this cam

show what they can do in the way
of fancy tricks in this winter sport.
The four tennis courts east of the
coliseum have been inundated
and converted into an ice skating
rink.
According to Harold Petz, who
had charge of the construction
work, the rink should be ready for
use Sunday. Work on the project I
was begun last Wednesday, and
up to Friday night eight coats of
ice had been applied on the net

Spring Thoughts
Make Dr. Hudson
Snake-Conscious I
Catching and classifying snakes
is a ticklish business. Our own Pr.
George Hudson of the zoology de
partment, who does this as a
hobby, is looking forward to spring
because he hopes of catching pos
sibly a half hundred or more live
rattlesnakes from a reptile in
fested cae reported by Pelmer
Feterson of Burge, Neb.
Dr. Hudson hopes to duplicate
the trick with which Peterson was
able to capture every snake which
had crawled into a cave situated
on Snake river canyon near his
home. This is the way he' did it.
Placing a stovepipe into the mouth
of the den, he stopped up the open
ing so that the only way out was
by way of the pipe.
Trap In Oil Barrel.
In the latter part of March
when the snake& were about to
rome out from their winter's hid
ing, Peterson placed a large oil
barrel beneath the extended end
of the pipe. Looking into the bar
rel one day, he was surprised to
find 45 rattlesnakes, all of them
alive and safely trapped inside tne
drum. Each time a snake wig
gled into the sloping pipe It slid
on down Into the barrel.
Along about "snake time" next
spring Dr. Hudson expects to visit
Peterson and has hopes of captur
ing an even larger number next
year, inasmuch as the country
around Valentine is particularly j
suited for the propagation of rat- ,
tlesnHkes.
Record All Types.
At the present time Dr. Hudson
is making a collection of the vari
ous kinds of snakes found in Ne
braska so that in the future, rec
ords will be available of all the
reptilea, poisonous and otherwise,
that live within the boundaries of
the stat". Because most individuals
nre afraid of snakes and are ignor
ant of the various species, several
poisonous varieties have been re
ported, some of which Dr. Hudson
does not believe are natives of Ne
braska. During his visit in Valen
tine, Dr. Hudson hopes to disprove
or verify the reports which he has
received.

PROFESSlONAL r
HIGH SCHOOL SUBJECTS SELDOM
CKITEMA OF COLLEGE-STUI T
Superior Student
YounfifCr '
Than Inferior One,
Survey Shows.
The popular notion that the
bright boys and girls today take
more Latin and mathematics while
their less intelligent associates shy
away from those so-called "tough"
subjects in the high school curric
ulum is without foundation, ac
cording to a recently completed
study of freshman students in the
teachers college of the university.
The survey was made by Dr.
Dewey B. Stuit, associate profes
sor of psychology and measure
ments, who essentially compared
uimovi(,r tin1 Infot'irtt- rliiQi OTIIlt erl
students and found that (1) the
superior student averaged a con
siderably higher score in tests of
academic ability; i2, that the su
perior student is considerably more
proficient in his ability to compre
hend difficult reading matter; l3i
that the superior student is some
what improved in his ability to
read rapidly; and 14 1 that he is
about a year younger than the
average inferior student.
Dr. Stuit studied 112 students,
2d of them men. Kour of the men
ranked in the .superior group and
Id in the inferior. The individual
was ranked xuperior if his .scho
lastic average placed him in tin
upper ouarter of his class, whil.
the student falling in the
lower
quarter was defined as inferior
Differences In Vocabulary.
After analyzing the results of
the silent reading teats, the unl
veisity educator concludes that the
difference in the scores is one of
vocabulary.
"While the inventory test given
each individual indlcutes that the
home, health, and emotional ad
justment of inferior students are
less favorable than for the other
group, the difference being most
pronounced In the case of health,
we feel that these results are not
significant enough to explain the
underlying differences between the
two groups," says Dr. Stuit.
"Neither did we find that the av
erage number of units nor the pat
tern of high school subjects taken
Is greatly diiferent for the two
classes. There Is a slight tend
ency, nowever, ror tne superior
students to take more mathematics
high school, but the actual differ
and foreign language while In
superior and Inferior students Ink
enco between the percentage of
ing these subject is in no caac
more than 18 percent. Thus, one
can hardly explain the difference
in the performance or these collage
students on the bnsls of their high
school choice of subject matter."
1 Year, 1 Month Difference.
The test revealed that the aver
age of the superior students at the
time of entering the university was
17 years 10 months and that of the
inferior students 18 years 11
months. This difference can prob-
