dozens. "One poor little innocent, after
having approached the store at least
ten times, only to lose his nerve' at
the laBt moment and pass on, finally,
becoming desperate, he stepped nerv

lady stopped forward to wait upon him.
Ho tried to call for help, but his voice
failed him. His heart immediately
started for the outer world, but caught
In his throat some way or other. He
tried to force it back down, but could
not. He tried to spit it out, but was
equally unsuccessful. Finally "Is
th-th-this- whore they keep chewing
gum?" 'Just then a hole (a small one)
opened up In the floor and he dropped
through. He was then carried, ten
derly to his home. This man expected
to dance the latest dances, too.
IVY DAY TOMORROW.
r
Tomorrow, friends, on May the sixth,
We have a holiday, ,
So put your books upon the shelves
And drive dull care away.
'Tis Ivy Day, a day of fun,
The last of all the year.
When we can leave our work behind
And all get out and cheer.
In the morning comes the May Day
speech,
And planting of tradition's ivy;
While crowning the queen and the
May pole dance
Will help to keep us lively.
-Xhe-aftemoon-will-find-usall-At
one of Lincoln's parks;
The girls will try athletically
To set some record marks.
The Sphinx and Spikes will then cross
bats
And play a game of ball;
Then, when that's done, there'll be the
eats
And eats enough for all.
The Band, with dreamy melodies,
Will keep the spirit moving,
And then's the time to get your girl -For
one long evening's "spoofing."
And so forget the morrow's class;-
Let it take care of itself;
Just think that it is Ivy Day
Forget the books on the shelf.
Now, ypu who haven't bought the cards
Will feel most awful lost
When all the rest go out to play
"Now, fellahs, come acrost."

Alpha Sigma Phi Move Their Resl-
dence to Corner of Eleventh

Following the "southern Invasion"
on mo part or several other Greeks
at the Opening nf nnhnnl Innt fall,
Alpha SIgma-PhI-has takeiniir Its'
abode south of O street. Its new
home is the H. At Ensign place at the
corner of Eleventh and F streets.
At least one other fraternity and
two sororities wore after this place,
"but were unable to break the leases
on their present quarters. The Alpha
Sigs beat them to it by subletting
their house at 1437 Q street and- signing-
the contract with Ensign before
the others had awakened from their
slumbers.
It is rumored that the Kappa Bigs
will iollow suit next fall by moving

the Chi Omegas will move to -a .house
near the corner of Twelfth and E.
These three, together with the Phi
Taus and Delta Chis, will make quite

SENIOR HOP IS CHANGED
TO SATURDAY, MAY 9TH
Bad Weather of Last Saturday Forces
a Postponement Crowds
Disappointed. " ;
-Buo-tothathrflatenlnigwfifttheptt-
last Saturday, tho Senior Hop ' was
postponed. The hop waB first post
poned until noxt Friday night, but on
account ot Engineers' Night it has
Binco been changed to Saturday, May
9. Nice weather had prevailed all last
week until Saturday morning when It
began to rain, which was at exactly
tho wrong time. Although the- rain .
was not heavy, it .would' h'ayo been
sufficient to spoil an otherwise good
dance. Not long after this action the
rain stopped and the day turned out
very well. This was rather disgusting,
but not being, weather prophets, the
committee was unable to foresee this. '
Yesterday Glen Tunks was notified by
Miss Graham that Friday night is En
gineers' Nlght. For1 this reason the
date of, the dance" must be again post-'
poned- and tho date has .been finally
set for Saturday night, May- 9, - .
