The new university cafetrla opened yesterday morning. Heretofore the cafeteria has been on the first floor of the Temple building but it has been moved into the basement of the same structure. The entire basement has been re modeled and redecorated for the use of the cafeteria, and for rooms for the use of the faculty. The dining room Is decorated in cream and white and is equipped for a double serving line. The kitchen has been refurnished and has all modern improvements; includ ing electric dishwashers, potato peel ers and ovens. A suite of five rooms has been set aside for the use of the faculty men, and consists of a dining room, a reading room, a game room, a rest room, and a large hall. A cor responding suit, has been arranged for the use of faculty women. Both suites are decorated in cream, and have bur lap baseboards. The rest of the basement has been converted into a large storeroom where large quantities of food may be placed. This will enable the mana gers to buy the food wholesale. The old cafeteria was able to serve only about six hundred peo;ile, but now with a double line of serv.'ce and a more efficient check system, it is estimated that about a thousand can be served easily. In the old cafettria service has been given only at meal time, but now the cafeteria will be open all day. ' Monday the new cafeteria was opened for a reception and the stud ents and faculty were invited by Pro fessor A. A. Reed to come and inspect the rooms. Light refreshments were served. A large number of students and faculty members were present. 'FIJIS" FIND THAT BEVO BRINGS ONLY ILL-LUCK Chicago, Feb. 17. All the hard luck that happened at the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity at the University oi Chicago has been heaped on the mas cot, Bevo, and the dog is now adver tised for a new owner. In the last few weeks two men have fallen on the ice, resulting In a broken ankle for one and a broken shoulder for the other. Another man kicked his foot through the dining room window and had his knee cap servered. Then a freshman fell up the front steps and sprained his ankle. Bevo makes the third in a series or hard luck mascots the "Fijis" havo had. Last year it was a pole cate and iehtning struck the house, and the year before that it was a deodorized skunk and the whole chapter got scarlet fever. Who wants Bevo? He's a good dog otherwise. DID YOL KNOW THIS? Far away from the haunts of men, is a dusty room where the late after noon sun streams in througli grimy panes and the cob webs lead an unmo lested existence. This abode is known to the janitor as Room 8, U Hall. Al though no password is required and there are no secret springs or hidden recesses, so far few people have been able to find it unassisted. The seek er for this mysterious abode must find his way underneath the west stairs of U Hall into a tiny, vile-smelling hall that is blacker than the proverbial Egypt. He hears the tick-tack of dis tant typewriters and begins to grope madly about for the knob of the door which will admit him into the Inner sanctum. He first opens a door and finds him self looking into a place full of waste paper bales, and hastily departs. Much swearing ensues. He discovers an other door and pulls at the handle with Joy, but it refuses to yield. More oaths! With a few more sweeps through the air, he comes in contact with a third handle. He Jerks this with a grim determination and bursts into the much-sought room with a crash. He stands there for a moment and then flees in confusion. The next time he enters with a show of vast indifference and finds no one there. So he takes his time and glances around. There are several well, they were once called chairs but now they stand like drunken men trying to look respectable. One old pioneer has been deprived of its back and others are mutilated. Then there are several typewriters but then, let us not dwell uDon these. These typewriters, as one former part-time dweller hero has well said, are "notoriously bum' and make a good subject for discussion among those present when the wea ther and those absent have been dis cussed. The radiator rattles and wa ter drips down from the radiator In the room above on to one of the desks. The whole affair presents a cy (Continued on Page Four.) r7 . , , ?

Hastings "Mr. Steele Holcombe was a suc cessful student of law, remarkably so for one who had so many side inter ests. However, much he was distract ed by student activities, he none the less always maintained a high place in his law classes during the one year which he spent in the law school. He was a tower of strength in maintain- inc the honor and straightforward sincerity of the work of that year." From Dean Carl C. Engberg "Mr. Steele Holcombe, one of our graduates, who has Just gone to Egypt us a missionary among the Moham medan students, deserves the whole hearted support of the men of this university.
