And tuned myself to sing, To troll « little stave of glee About 'most anything, To show I haven’t any lack Of joy when I come rambling back. fcOXG - How well, I remember the old scenes that stamp us Old grads from the U with sweet mem ories dear, When the Deady bug roamed, in the spring, on1 the campus, And the stores out in Springfield all peddled near beer; The mill race excursions, the trips to the mountain, used to slosh; But O. since my day, they have got a nice fountain. That bents the old duck pond to dis cipline Frosh. This morning I saw them go gleefully scootin’ To Delta Tau house, in a hurry to sieze And drag from his beauty sleep, poor “Skinny” Newton To heave in the fountain in his B. V. D’s. And Morris and Morrison, Bain, and “Kewp” Spangler They heaved them and hurled them with vigorous “splosh”, And then dragged them out with the zeal of an angler From the lovely new fountain where in they duck Frosh. When I roamed the campus, in days now departed. We had many ways, in our subtle device To make the Frosh happy and gay and light-hearted, Bue never, O never, so fine a device As I saw this morning, when I stood there countin’ And heard them go in with a bubbling; “Gosh!” In that dear and delightful, superlative - fountain, ' That lovely new fountain to discipline Frosh. Food Problem Hits Fraternities Hard; House Managers Worry, So Do ‘Soldiers’ “It’s simply scandalous the way those heathen eat.” Such and many others are the uncomplimentary ejaculations deliv ered by the heads of the various houses when the subject of war and military drill is broached upon them. Following the present unheard of prices comes this catastrophe precipitat ed upon these dignified heads whose one object is to banquet their “heathen” on regular rations with a scant allowance of cash, which is barely enough to feed them three “squares” a day. And what has caused these unheard of and unbefit ting remarks from such? Well, mostly Ed. Shockley with his “few short min utes” of setting up exercises each and every afternoon, which, of course, takes place at the time when the average stude is wondering whether he will be lucky enough to get a life-sized spud as his share of the evening rations. Perhaps these so called few minutes are of ut most importance to the soldier but like wise food is more than utmost importance to the stomach—it’s of paramount im portance. But it's a fact. One house manager absolutely declares they eat three pounds of meat more than previously at each meal. But they’re lucky—some places, it is understood, they don’t even get the three extra pounds but are served with about twice that amount of substantial beans. The idea, it is said, is to pre pare the fellows for the army and make army life easier and hence more attrac tive to them. Sounds simple, why not? But, of course, everyone has a right to his own opinion.

This drastic action was brought about by an upperclassman's statement that a "first year dub ate seven slices of butter during his meal." At that rate something undoubtedly should be done for the butter supply in Eugene is certainly in danger of being substituted by oleo margerine. At still another house they are think ing of baking what potatoes they have left and compelling all participants at the dinner table to eat the skins, for po tato skins really do clear the complex ion and stave away unsightly freckles from one’s nose. At least that is what the doctors told the fellows, or did they read it somewhere? Well, they heard it anyway and it's undoubtedly the truth for anyone knows potato skins are healthful and beneficial.

The girls in the home economies de partment at Purdue are working out an entirely new idea. They are conducting a co-operative boarding club, in which they manage and do all the work except cooking and dishwashing. They say that the approximate cost of equipment is $1&8. At a recent test held at the University of Iowa, five hundred first-year students were given fifty hard words to spell. The girls made an average of twenty one errors; the men thirty-two. A fact brought out was that there was a close relationship between mental ability and ability to spell.
