What good is a mail box when we have no males?" When the Poiighkeepsie damsels heard that the whole scheme was a hoax, they vigorously denied that they had taken it for any thing but a juke In the first place. Vivian Liebnian, editor of "Miscel lany News" ran a kidding article in the paper the next day to prove that everybody knew it was nil a "Mouth mmm, mmm." "We raise our voices to disclaim publicly our sympathies with the Lmely Hearts club. We know from past experiences every I'rinccton man l a combination of Adonis. Taizan and Socrates, and wc have seen stacks and stacks of rented envelopes that dally block the threshold of his room. Is it then conceivuhle that any r re lent atives of Old Nassau should rtnop to advertising for more mail, more contact with the fair sex? Vale men suffer from loneliness, rmt a Princeton man Is surely shove such weak and paltry emo tions." "Hump" and "Oil," who opened sml real the Vassar correspond ence, weren't so sure that the girls were only kidding. How, they mid, would you explain a letter which rend: "My hair is coppery drown. Kyes like autumn leaves, they change color. Mouth mmm, liniim. of course , . ." Or another; "I am so darned tired of seeing n empty mailbox every day. I'll do anything. Kven a freshman will do." Before the two Prlnce'on soph omores let it be known that they were no longer in the market for lonely hearts, letters began com ing in from aged widows and bachelors, popeyed at accounts of the club in metropolitan dallies. Lonely females as far west as Iowa took pen In hand to beseech Information, and breathless, ex cited notes filtered In from models, stenographers, and young girls In big Eastern cities.

Ice skating addicts on this cam pus will have an opportunity to show what they can do in the way of fancy tricks in this winter sport. The four tennis courts east of the coliseum have been inundated and converted into an ice skating rink. According to Harold Petz, who had charge of the construction work, the rink should be ready for use Sunday. Work on the project I was begun last Wednesday, and up to Friday night eight coats of ice had been applied on the net playgrounds. Spring Thoughts Make Dr. Hudson Snake-Conscious I Catching and classifying snakes is a ticklish business. Our own Pr. George Hudson of the zoology de partment, who does this as a hobby, is looking forward to spring because he hopes of catching pos sibly a half hundred or more live rattlesnakes from a reptile in fested cae reported by Pelmer Feterson of Burge, Neb. Dr. Hudson hopes to duplicate the trick with which Peterson was able to capture every snake which had crawled into a cave situated on Snake river canyon near his home. This is the way he' did it. Placing a stovepipe into the mouth of the den, he stopped up the open ing so that the only way out was by way of the pipe. Trap In Oil Barrel. In the latter part of March when the snake& were about to rome out from their winter's hid ing, Peterson placed a large oil barrel beneath the extended end of the pipe. Looking into the bar rel one day, he was surprised to find 45 rattlesnakes, all of them alive and safely trapped inside tne drum. Each time a snake wig gled into the sloping pipe It slid on down Into the barrel. Along about "snake time" next spring Dr. Hudson expects to visit Peterson and has hopes of captur ing an even larger number next year, inasmuch as the country around Valentine is particularly j suited for the propagation of rat- , tlesnHkes. Record All Types. At the present time Dr. Hudson is making a collection of the vari ous kinds of snakes found in Ne braska so that in the future, rec ords will be available of all the reptilea, poisonous and otherwise, that live within the boundaries of the stat". Because most individuals nre afraid of snakes and are ignor ant of the various species, several poisonous varieties have been re ported, some of which Dr. Hudson does not believe are natives of Ne braska. During his visit in Valen tine, Dr. Hudson hopes to disprove or verify the reports which he has received.

The popular notion that the bright boys and girls today take more Latin and mathematics while their less intelligent associates shy away from those so-called "tough" subjects in the high school curric ulum is without foundation, ac cording to a recently completed study of freshman students in the teachers college of the university. The survey was made by Dr. Dewey B. Stuit, associate profes sor of psychology and measure ments, who essentially compared uimovi(,r tin1 Infot'irtt- rliiQi OTIIlt erl students and found that (1) the superior student averaged a con siderably higher score in tests of academic ability; i2, that the su perior student is considerably more proficient in his ability to compre hend difficult reading matter; l3i that the superior student is some what improved in his ability to read rapidly; and 14 1 that he is about a year younger than the average inferior student. Dr. Stuit studied 112 students, 2d of them men. Kour of the men ranked in the .superior group and Id in the inferior. The individual was ranked xuperior if his .scho lastic average placed him in tin upper ouarter of his class, whil. the student falling in the lower quarter was defined as inferior Differences In Vocabulary. After analyzing the results of the silent reading teats, the unl veisity educator concludes that the difference in the scores is one of vocabulary. "While the inventory test given each individual indlcutes that the home, health, and emotional ad justment of inferior students are less favorable than for the other group, the difference being most pronounced In the case of health, we feel that these results are not significant enough to explain the underlying differences between the two groups," says Dr. Stuit. "Neither did we find that the av erage number of units nor the pat tern of high school subjects taken Is greatly diiferent for the two classes. There Is a slight tend ency, nowever, ror tne superior students to take more mathematics high school, but the actual differ and foreign language while In superior and Inferior students Ink enco between the percentage of ing these subject is in no caac more than 18 percent. Thus, one can hardly explain the difference in the performance or these collage students on the bnsls of their high school choice of subject matter." 1 Year, 1 Month Difference. The test revealed that the aver age of the superior students at the time of entering the university was 17 years 10 months and that of the inferior students 18 years 11 months. This difference can prob- SFXECT YOUR I CHfllSTMAS CAIUIS fiiilff Siofs S I I i5w PERSONAL CARDS WITH YOUR NAME IK is Mighty It I U "bly be ac(iunted for by the fact lllrtt Lilt-It: llrt.T Ut-ll I eLrt I U.ILIVMI 111 ranks of the inferior students and accelaration among the superior individuals.

The Htudent was arrested Friday evening by Sgt. Kegler and fined in municipal court Saturday morning. Kegler reports that there have been from 10 to 15 violations of these signs each day, but the vio lators have been stopped and warned until Friday evening when one student decided to argue the point, and was taken into court. Kegler says, "The.se signs were in stalled to be obeyed. In the future, any violator will be taken into court and prosecuted. And your traffic tickets csift be "fixed"; that practice ent out several years ago." FROSH PLANWELFARE GIFT Commission Groups Place Box in Ellen Smith.

Credit for the nearly impene trable Cornhusker line goes to "Link" whose forward wall pro teges have handsomely profited from his years of playing experi ence.
