discussed.
Stops Naval Rivalry
Dr. Clarke declared that the
declared that the greatest result
of the conference is that it stops
the naval rivalry between the
world powers, even though it
makes for decreased naval arma
ment only for Great Britain. It
was declared that the United
States was deriving all the ben
efits of the League of Nations
without bearing the burden Of ex
penses necessary for its support,
but any hostility Jn the United

Melodion Stands Mute
# * * *
Heirloom Long Silent
Among the antiques of various
sorts on the campus, perhaps the
most famous is the Hendricks hall
melodion. Everyone has played
it, yet no one has heard it emit
the slightest melody. Why? It
doesn’t. That is one thing which
proves it conclusively to toe an
antique.
Its musical ability long since de
parted, the melodion acts as a
receptacle for the hats and over
coats of various gentlemen visit
ing the hall. It stands in the hall
way, facing in stoical silence the
grandfather clock that noncha
lantly ticks away the minutes,
never seeming to mind when some
freshman rudely thrusts his min
ute hand back ten minutes to safe
guard her wandering roommate
who, if not in on the dot of half
past ten, will have telephone duty
hanging over her head. It silently
guards the “Sign-out” book, that
book which has "library" written
after every freshman’s name. It
doesn’t tell, however, how many
freshman girls—those girls who
decorously sign out to the library
—come home with interesting
specimens of “Man and His En
vironment.”
From whence it came and how is
not known to many. It is sus

Co-ed Braves
Death in Waters
Of Tricky Race
"Help!” a terrified feminine
voice cried. Genevieve I’iluso,
senior In the University, yester
day afternoon had fallen into

“Help!” But much to her
dismay her friends only stood
on the hanks and stared at her.
No one dived to her rescue.
Those memories and regrets
that come to all drowning per
sons came to Genevieve. She
uttered one last, desperate
“Help!” and closed her eyes.
Thud! She struck the bottom.
Slowly she stood up—and found
that she had been “drowning”
in three feet of water.

Music Professors Enjoy Chuckles
At Summer’s Travel Experiences
By JESSIE STEELE
“I toured the seas with him
once before and we’re still speak
ing. We even shared the same
stateroom, and let me tell you,
that fellow can think up more
irritating remarks in two minutes
than I could in two hours. When
they are sharp and clever enough,
he sets them to music and the
limericks are so good I almost
forget their sting. That’s where
I got my good disposition—toler
ating his wise cracks.” And as
he said all this, John Stark Evans’
mefry blue eyes twinkled almost
as much as Dean John Lands
bury’s brown ones, if that is pos
sible.
The two musical cronies were
chatting about their vacation
plans for this summer. Dean
Landsbury had just expressed his
desire to go to the South Seas,
and Mr. Evans disclosed tentative
plans to go along. Before that,
however, Mr. Evans plans to leave
the afternoon following com
mencement for the Middle-West,
where he will visit friends in
Michigan and Illinois, returning by
way of Seattle and Puget Sound,
with a possible sojourn at his sum
mer home near the beach.
“I don’t know when or where
I’m going, but I know it’s going
to be as far away as I can get,
and I wouldn't be a bit surprised
if this prof goes with me. If I
stood for him one summer, I sup
pose I can endure another,” said
the dean. And chuckling about
their mutual attachment, the two
parted and left a freshman re
porter with a new view on famous
musical personages.
