The oc casion should be held in the spring and at a time when some special stu dent function has been planned. A dramatic production, special vesper services, and glee club concerts could well be a part of the program. Many of our mothers have never visited the University and beyond a doubt they would enjoy such a visit especially at a time when the entire University would be playing hosts to them. Such a visit would also be an aid to us in launching a drive for the passage of the millag© tax in May. NO LEMON PUNCH TODAY At a recent meeting of the Em erald and Lemon Punch stalfs it was decided to discontinue the Lemon Punch as a weekly feature of the Emerald. It will be continued from now on as a monthly feature and will be enlarged and contain more features. The chief reason for the change is the heavy printing cost which the Emerald is now struggling under which makes a continuance of the Punch as a weekly addition unfeas ible from a financial standpoint- Ex tensive plans are also being made to launch a monthly humorous magazine in the near future.
