Spharo Styx, the yearling mlnlstrel

at the Oliver theater Saturday to a
falrlv well-filled house. It was a stu

written to catch the eye and whistle
of a student crowd. A threepart pro
gram of vaudeville, minstrelsy, and
dancing was the hill, with skits and
music written by home or student tal
ent. However, while some of the acts'
"got across" the footlights, the audi

form the standpoint of attendance and
moral Inspiration, met every respect
of the committee's In charge. At the
morning services of nearly every
church in the city special addresses
and music had been prepared for the
special interest and benefit of the
students. And In support of this In
terest shown in them, the university
student body responded In large num
bers. The Methodist denominations were
foremost In attendance:
St. Paul, 400; Grace M. E., 150;
Emmanuel, (10; Trinity M. E., 40; Tot
al 77f. Sixty men enrolled In the
Bible school classes, mostly afllll
iated with the St. Paul church.
The First Presbyterian church re

student Bible class enrollment was
also reported hut no figures were
given.
At the First Congregational church
there were 1(!0, present; Plymouth
Congregational, (10; Vine Congrega

school enrolled 2A new students.
The First Haptist church reported

total, 140.
CABS TO THE DISCARD
FORMALS TO COST LESS
tunes, and the Glee club got a real
touch of college spirit into the act
by just " acting natural."
Quoting from the State Journal
however:
"The Bluebeard dancing the closing
tango revel and some of the vaudeville
Btunts were not in harmony with the
things the university stands for. Why
they did not win the enthusiastic ap
plause of the gallery which so often
voices its Independence of thought and
Judgment in the song to the effect that
the gang Is all present and is (mite
indifferent to critism is a mystery.
Something was clearly the matter with
that gallery. It did not give a single
university yell during the evening.
Perhaps the whole performance
limped because the young people went
too far out of their real character.
The student body is made up of the
finest folks in the world. Give them
straight plays and music and real col
lege fun and they almost invariably
get it over the footlights with success.
When they try to become vaudeville
stars and Bohemians and public tango
dancers all at once they lack the brass
and vulgarity that sometimes can be
made to take the place of experience.
