A movement has been started at

fratercltie. this would be very ap-jrof.riate.
If anT casual observer should have
glanced in at Miss" Howell's public
speaking class in U-106 at just the
right time Thursday he would have
gone right over to the registrar's of
fice and registered for the course, for
he would have seen a banquet, yes,
a regular banquet going on and dur
ing school hours, too.
At CftCCn SiiuutcS alter 1 o'clock,
the banquet being over except for the
toasts, this casual observer would have
noticed Ivan Beede as toastm aster
standing at the head of th table and
introducing the various speakers of
the afternoon. He weald have heard
Victor Graham give a very intelligent
and at times scathing description of
present-day politics. His subject was
"Saving the Country rrom tne poli
ticians." Mark Hooper, in response
to bis subject, "God Give Us Men,"
delivered a stirring appeal to the
young men of the University to do
their bit for their country on the fir
ing line as oncers of the army in
stead or seeking bullet-proof jobs In
the ordnance and civil service depart
ments. Harry Rcci vas give. th Sub
ject "Safety Raxors." He showed the
development of the raror from its
earliest stages op to - the modern
safety, the acme of perfection. He
then brouRbt out that democracy In
its struggle through the ages has fol
lowed closely in its development the
evolution of tho safety razor until
now, or as soon as the war is over, it
will have reached Its enlth of posM
hilltb.
Other banqueters who responded to
toasts were Robert Moody speaking
on "The Value of Experience," Merlin
Springer on "The Art of Camouflage."
Francis Flood, mhos subject was
Heeling the Council of Defense." and
Phil Jones speaking on the present
military outlook.
It in true, by the way. that no actual
food or physical sustenance was
served but the food for thoughts, be
sides having more lasting qualities, is
more in accord with present war-time
ideas of conservation and removed the

TURN INVITATIONS INTO BONDS
Orders for senior invitations are
b-lng taken today and Thursday. In
vitations are forty cents ea(h. in
leather and twenty cents In card
board, in either cane ten cent cheaper
than last year.
It has been suggested chat seniors
send but few invitations this yenr.
Eliminating invitations will be a
really patriotic thing to do. The
mails mill be relieved of just that
much of a burden. A car load or
two of relatively useless gifts mill not
be brought and shipped In conven
tional responses to invitations. The
prlc of the Invitations saved If in
vested In thrift stamps would in many
cases buy a baby bond.
Many teniors are planning to send
announcement instead of invitations
thus eliminating the probability of
presents, and at the same time saving
enough for a contribution to some
patriotic work, because of the inex
pensiveness of the announcements.
The number of Invitations ordered
Is immaterial to the Invitation com
mittee, which makes no profit. One
graduates from college only once, of
course and naturally wants the long
anticipated occaMon to be as Joyously
perfect as possible. But in the pres
ent national extremity wouldn't the
little sacrifice be more than Justified?
