The offer of J100 for a Kosmet Klub play should certainly be an
incentive to some ambitious playwright. It is indeed an achievement,

When the autumn sun is lowering behind the tree-tops and the
air is filled with the tang of froBt and the smoke of burning leaves
and your classes are over for the day, are you going to. go home and
curl up on the couch and read a foolish magazine story, or are you
going to get out and see how red the sumac is, and how bronze the
leaves are? There is a feeling in the autumn air of relief and of
bouyancy, and relaxation from the day's grind will be sure to come.
People at a University dff not spend enough time thinking of their

At a certain university in this country, they had a clean-up day,
when every freshman was made to pick up the scraps or paper on
the campus.
It is an easy thing to crumple a sheet of paper during a class, and
wait until the waste-paper basket is passed and the campus is reached
before the paper is thrown away. The effect on th campus is sad
to behold, and it is a telltale story on the presence of mind and
thoughtfulness of the students.

An hour like this one brings!
Wondrin what the folks at home

Wonder if they all are there
They sure are, I vow.
Wonder If my best girl is home
Or if she has a date
With one of the fellows in the town.
And if she's stayin' out late.
Wonder if my dad 11 Bend

Or if I'll have to soak my watch
To settle those who seek.
Wonder if I'll flunk that qui

I've wasted all my time right here,
And I've myself to knock. '
