LESSONS FROM THE MIX
On the whole, last Saturday’s Un
derclass Mix was satisfactory. It
served the purpose for which the Mix
was instituted—that of a safety valve
to the natural rivalry developed be
tween the two lower classes each fall.
There was plenty of good sport for
both spectators and contestants, and
no casualties.
With this, the fourth Mix, the idea
may be fairly said to have passed the
experimental stage and to have won
a place among campus institutions.
Each year the program has differed
radically from those which have gone
before. Various events and “stunts”
have been tried and discarded as
lacking in the essentials of a good
interclass "scrap.” From the expe
rience of four years, it should be pos
sible for future Junior committees to
adopt the ideas which have proved
successful, and stage a far more in
teresting Mix than any that has gone
before.
For one thing, most of Saturday’s
contests, while highly absorbing to
the participants, were unsatisfactory
from the spectator’s standpoint. The
flag rush, for example. From the
inside it was the most exciting of all
the events; but to the crowd it was
merely an agitated conglomeration of
arms, legs and other members.
„ The reason for the popularity of
the sandbag contest and tie-up with
the spectators is that they are fought
in the open.
Saturday’s Mix was also partly de
moralized by the shifting of the are
na from Kincaid Field to the cam
pus, so that the last two events, the
water fight and tug-of-war, could be
contested. We believe it is better to
hold the entire program on the field,
especially since it is no longer possi
ble to adjourn to the duck pond for
the tug-of-war.
We also believe that the interest
in the Mix on the part of both spec
tators and contestants will be inten
sified if the program is cut down to
three or four events which have stood
the test and have proved real “thrill
ers.” Tlie sandbag contest and the
tie-op seem to have qualified. The
most successful of all contests from
every point of view, however, was the
pushball battle which was the “head
liner” of the Mix the first two years.
It gives every man in both classes an
opportunity to distinguish himself;
the contest itself is exciting; the
spectators cannot lose sight of the
ball, however thick the fray; and
there is an absence of the personal
jousts such as developed Saturday.
But here a difficulty arises: in the
past two years the managers of the
Mix have been unable to obtain a
pushball. It costs money for that
much ball, and the owners of the only
two in the Northwest now refuse tn
take the risk of loaning them with
out the protection of a larger bond j
than the Junior class has felt able
to pay.
Why should not the Student Body
own a pushball? The saving in trou
ble and expense to the Mix managers,
would offset its cost in time. If nee-1
cssary, the money could be raised by '
a special campaign—perhaps one sin-1
gle benefit entertainment. Here is a
pretext for reviving the late lament
ed County Fair, which went so far
toward making the Y. W. C. A. bun-,
galow possible- and which went so
far in other ways.

In the issue of the Emerald for
Tuesday of this week, an editorial
states, “We have received a sugges
tion that a panoramic photograph be
taken of the Student Body. We be
lieve the suggestion a good one. The
project has never been accomplished
here,’’ and then makes the pertinent
inquiry, “Is an assembly of all the
students possible?”
Indeed, such an assembly is possi
ble, for such a project has been ac
complished here. It was in the in
auguration of the Pledge Day at the
University, some two years ago, and
the entitle Student Body was assem
bled and a successful panoramic mov
ing picture taken. Unfortunately, of
course, it was not possible to print
this picture, and so its permanent
value was lost.
But let us stage another successful
picture this year and keep its value.
And we can do that through the rea
sonableness of one photographer who
has said to me, “I will make a pano
rama picture of the Student Body of
the University forty inches long and

fifty cents a picture. I will also make
all the necessary preparation* for
taking the picture, so it will not re
quire more than ten minutes of the
students’ time.” Could anything more
reasonable than this be asked?
1 spoke to administrative officers
concerning the project and they hearti
ly endorsed it and said they would
back it. oAsked as to when they would
suggest a date for the taking of the
picture, they thought the first Wed
nesday in November would be a suit
able time. The first Wednesday of
each month at assembly hour is the
regular time fpr the meeting of the
classes. Then with all the classes as
sembled, it would be an easy matter
to march en masse to the selected
spot and with the faculty have a pic
ture taken that to each of us would be
invaluable.
All that is now needed is the co
operation of each student. Let’s co
operate and on November 4th have* a
picture taken that means so much and
costs so little.

ALLEN EATON WILL GIVE LEC
TURE ON PARISH THREE TIMES
A number of students have ex
pressed a desire to be present at Mr.
Allen Eaton’s Art Appreciation class
when he lectures on the work of Max
field Parrish. The lecture will be
given three times during the week,
Tuesday at 9:00 and 10:00, and Thurs
dey at 11:00, in the new Architectural
building.
“This will be interesting and in
structive to the students, I am sure,"
said Mr. Eaton, “and those wishing
to come will be welcome, and I shall
obably not repeat this lecture dur
ing the year, and those interested
should attend during the coming
week.”
During the last week Mr. Eaton’s
classes in Art Appreciation have treb
led in size, which shows with what
interest the students are taking up
this work. For the coming lectures
Mr. Eaton will show and explain a
number of Mr. Parrish’s works and
books he has illustrated.
