an informal dance held in the big gym

MAY FESTIVAL IS A
FINANCIAL FAILURE
Prof. Glen Discouraged—Prob
ably No Fe tival Next
Year
In the financial report of the May Fes
tival, the results are not encouraging,
in vjoh an undertaking, there is a
gi cm expense attached, which includes
he advertising and printing, the hire of
orchestra players and soloists. A large
number of tickets sold is necessary to
make the festival pay but this year it
was not supported heartily enough by
either students or faculty. The deficit
was about three hundred dollars ,but
this amount is paid by different or
ganizations and individuals so that the
members of the Choral Club will not
be held responsible for it as they had
expected. Professor Glen worked hard
for the success of this and the con
certs merited a much larger patronage
than they received. There will prob
ably be no May Festival next year.
Kappa Alpha Theta, Kappa Sig
ma, and Lambda Rhos to
Have New Homes
1 he construction of several sorority
and fraternity hones is under way. It
is expected that they will be finished
in the fall ready for occupancy the be
ginning of the first semester. The Kap
pa Alpha Theta and the Lambda Rho
houses are already started. The Kappa
Sigmas expect to begin building soon
on the corner of Eleventh and Alder
streets.
Three Hundred Women to Take
Part in the Fern and Flower
Procession
I lie Fern and Flower Procession is to
oe made a big event in Commencement
Week this year. 'Ihe Woman’s Council
lias appointed a committee of juniors,
Cecile Wilcox chairman, Edith Wood
cock and Mabel Hill, to take all execu
tive responsibility. On Saturday morn
ing, June the 18th, there will be a mass
meeting of women in Villard Hall to
perfect all arrangements. Every alum
na, as well as the undergraduates, is
urged to be present at this meeting. The
committee expects three hundred women
in line in the procesion. The represent
atives from the oldest class present will
lead, and the rest will follow in order.
All the women will wear white, and the
seniors will appear in cap and gown.
Each class in the University should meet
and decide on its color scheme, report
ing their decision to the committee in
charge. It is rumored, and indeed the
Council confirms the report, that the pro
cession will end by forming an immense
U. of O. with the flowers, on the grass
between the library and Deady Hall.
In endeavoring to make college life
more interesting, the seniors of the Col
orado State College have started the
custom of taking a holiday without the
knowledge or permission of anyone.
This holiday has been named "Sneak
Day.”
The Lambda Rho house on the cor
ner of Fourteenth and Alder streets
is to be a three-story, Southern colonial
house, and the Kappa Alpha Theta house
on Twelfth and Hilyard, is also to be of
the colonial style of architecture.
Several other clubs are contemplating
new houses, but their plans are not
yet complete.

Example of Experts Dangerous
To Novices According to
Faculty Resolution
Fearing a fatality might result, the
faculty has passed a resolution against
shooting the rapids in the river in ca
noes.
A number of University students have
recently shown their skill and dexterity
in handling a canoe under circumstances
requiring great presence of mind, ac
curacy of vision, strength of muscle and
luck, to the extent of shooting the rapids
successfully at the head of the island.
I he danger, according to the faculty,
is that other students, less competent
and experienced, though equally daring
and courageous might make the attempt
with disastrous results.
“ I here is a moral responsibility,” says
President Campbell, “resting upon the
expert for the amateur which is not a
light nor trivial responsibility.”
