Carelessness of Co-eds With
Vanity Cases Results in
Caretaker’s Problem
What is it that causes a student,
when he loses anything to visualize
the object in another place entirely
from the place where he left it or the
place where it was found. Again, what
must be the reaction in the mind of a
student when week after week, month
afer month he passes the article he
lost stuck up in some lost-and-found
case in one of the campus buildings?
Why does he not claim the article and
take it? These are only three of the
many questions that the janitors of the
University buildings are pondering over
in their minds, as each day they add to
the already overflowing collection of
umbrellas, Eversharps, fountain pens,
caps, gloves, handkerchiefs, shawls,
books, keys and compact boxes.
Library Case Full
One of the eases in the library is
so full of caps that it has become a
worry to the caretaker of the building.
It was suggested that the large heap
of head-gear should be given to the
relief workers on “bundle day”. But
that day went by and still the caps
were there with the addition of one or
two more. So the library janitor has
it figured out now, that since the burn
ing of the green during Junior Week
end there may be some newly dignified
freshmen who may be glad to claim one
of the caps in the library.
“Carelessness, well may be,” said
the observing caretaker, adding, “but
who is the judge, since the instructors
forget and leave things in the build
ings, almost as much as do the stu
dents.”
Vanity Boxes Numerous
But added to the big job of picking
up articles and hanging them up in the
cases where the owners may see them,
janitors are overpowered with a new
worry—the compact boxes or the van
ity boxes or call tlie^j what you may.
Not only are these objects increasing
in number about the buildings, but they
are a pest in another way. “ I wish
that girls would be prohibited from
taking those things in to classes with
them,” says one janitor. “I almost
have to scrub the floors every day, be
cause I find them thickly coated with
very fine powder,” he added as he
pointed out white and pink streaks on
the floor, some of which had been there
for several days because even with
scrubbing it is difficult to get this
powder off the floor.
So it goes, day after day, week after
week, month after month, the articles
keep on getting lost, the janitors keep
on picking them up* the students keep
on passing them by in the cases, leav
ing them unclaimed, until every case
on the campus resembles some shop’s
window display, or sometimes a scene
characteristic of a junk heap.
BETAS, SIGMA CHIS, FIJIS
AND A. T. 0. WIN GAMES
(Continued from page one)
at critical times gave the Sigma Chis
the game.
The winners began the game with
three scores in the first inning and
with their heavy hitting made five in
the second and eight in the last in
ning. Only five innings were played
on account of the rain. The single
score made by the Delts was when Dod
son came home on a hit by Jost.
Neither of the pitchers showed any
brilliant playing and it was only
through their hitting and their oppo
nent’s errors that the Sigma Chis won.
Gowans and Farrel were the Delta
batteries while Young and Davis were
the batteries for the winners.
The A. T. O.’s won a close contest
with the Phi Sigma Pi baseball team
by a score of 5 to 4 in the do-nu* game
piayed yesterday afternoon on the var
sity diamond at 4:00.
During the first part of the game
the Phi Sigs had the lead by several
scores through a series of well placed
hits. However a rally in the sixth in
ning on the part of the winners brought
the score up to a tie—4 to 4.
In the seventh inning Brocher, the
A. T. O. catcher, crossed the home
plate for the deciding tally and the
score that gave the game to the A.
T. O.’s.
Louis Green pitched good ball for
the losers but was hit in the last part
of the game.
The batteries for the Alpha Tau O
megas were Hempv and Yonder Ahe;
Phi Sigma Pi, Green and Shontz.
The Fiji team walked through the
Phi Delt nine yesterday afternoon in
the five-inning game played on the
University high school diamond by a
total score of 12 to 0. The game was
an easy victory for the Fiji’s. Part
of the game was played in the rain and

at the end of the fifth inning the teams
were dampened into quitting.
Superior hitting and a tight playing
infield gave the winners the advantage.
Poor fielding on the part of the Phi
Delta and -errors gave -them the small
end of the score.
Parelius, the Phi Delt pitcher was hit
all over the lot, by almost every man
up to the bat. Jimmie King got a home
run but with considerable less effect
because there were no men on bases.
Altstock, the Fiji pitcher, played a
heady game and was backed up very
efficiently by the infield.
Batteries: Fiji, Altstock and Brown;
Phi Delt, Parelius and Wright.
Diana Short Hair Here
to Reign While Longer
Fads may come and fads may go, but
they usually return some time in the
cycle of a lifetime and we have a chance
to lamp them twice before we depart this
life. Years ago our grandfathers wore
coats that had about as much shape to
them as a gunnysack draped over a lath.
Today we have the opportunity to see
the same garb pass in review.
Perhaps the greatest revolution that
has taken place is the bobbed hair. A
year or so ago the women started to
j shear their locks and then the craze
died out and it looked as if the short
haired maidens were sponsoring a for
lorn cause. But alas! alack! They have
won. The oracle has it that the abbre
viated tresses are coming back with a
vengeance and are destined to stay for
some time.
The long haired Diana must make way
for her sheared sister. No more do the
knee length tresses reign. Their days
are numbered and soon they must take
the count, floored by their shorter op
ponents.
Why is short hair? Well, not beiug
one of the feminine sex, we hesitate in
answering, but we have a hunch. First,
it lookp real catty, keen you might say.
What is nicer than a thatch of short hair
with a marcel in it like the rippling waves
on a sand beach down in the South
Seas? Nothing, we’d say. Nothing.
Maybe there’s a certain amount of lazi
ness connected with shorn locks. Comb
ing the snarls out of a few yards of
tresses isn’t any fun in the morning. It
is easier to hop out of bed, take a few
stabs at the locks and then be off to the
races, than to sit down before the glass
and comb and wfap and twist and turn
the long strands into the semblance of a
doughnut over the ears, a running bow
line and a bucket of round turns on top
of the pate, or the hammer handle which
usually ornaments the head of a well
known character in the comics.
Then again, there is the matter of age.
Short hair seems to be a tonic for ad
vancing years. When the locks are piled
up on the head, the wrinkles have a
tendency to stand out more. But, let the
hair fall about the ears in little wavelets
and those wrinkles melt into nothing.
Women like to conceal their age. Some
of them who were little tots, swinging on
the front gate when Dewey and his gang
romped on the Spaniards at Manila have
affected the dwarfed marcel and drop
ped their ages several notches by the
move.
You can’t beat bobbed hair. It is a
blessing to the barbers also, and some of
these days, when the fad has hit the
country for keeps, there will be uphol
stering establishments and mattress fac
tories starting up which will specialize
in human hair products.
Think of it, girls. Bob your hair, sell
the clippings and prosper. Bob your hair
and save time in combing it. Bob your
hair and look young and kiddish.

VARIED RELIGIOUS IDEAS
BROUGHT OUT IN TALKS
Few Students Like to Attend
Only One Church
Class discussions and random inter
views on the campus again bring about
the University students’ ideas of the
divinity, and liken the representation
to a vast tent covering the variegated
acreage of world religions and cults.
Of some 25 people interviewed on the
subject of religion most expressed a
decided interest. Several did not pro
fess to be steady church goers, but said
they read the Bible a great deal, and
thought about religion quite extensive
ly. Others said they went to church
every Sunday, but not to the same
church. A very few expressed belief
in atbtending one church consistently.
Five people had studied world liters- i
ture in which course the Bible is con
sidered from the standpoint of its lit
erary value and they all proclaimed the
course to be a distinct insight into re
ligion.
One of the professors in the Univer
sity asked the students in his class to
write 15 names which held the most
meaning for them. One person men
tioned God and two mentioned the
Bible. Sweetheart came first in the
list, mother second, and davenport
came quite high in the list. Perhaps
the difference comes in the attitude
of mind.
The people who were interviewed on
religion had the subject fresh in their
minds, while the people in class prob
ably had not been thinking of religion
or of their belief. There were seven
girls in the class.
DAILY LIFE CAUSE OF
MANY ODD CONTESTS

Well, we’ve run out of dope, so we’ll
have to ma'ke a few little marathon con
tests of our ‘own and see how they would
be taken by the sporting public.
Golf! There you have it. Brilliant
idea. Why not have a few of the pellet
punchers engage in a battering bee, un
til one drops on the green too fatigued
to go on with the race? Bound and
round.
If that wouldn’t do, how about a
round-the-world-golf chase, batting the
white spheroid on the march and keeping
track of the number of strokes.
A study marathon might bring out the
talent. High grade students ,and those
who begrudge themselves time taken from
study by meals, ought to set a study
record well up in three figures.
Women, how about a long distance
knitting or tatting contest. A mile or
two of knitting would be a good result

Funny no one ever thought of a gum
chewing endurance test. With all the
shop and telephone girls and countless
members of other proficient in the art
of masticating the rubbery gum, an
intensive chewing contest would keep the
women from talking for a while at least.
There are many other odd little affairs
of the every-day life of the world which
might be developed into marathon events.
Variety is the spice of life, so hope that
they go in for soma new ideas, in the
line of long winded contest. Of course
there is one marathon race which will
outdistance them all and that is thg
human race, and by casting our optics
over the universe, we don’t know who
is leading in that. Tell better after the
