Gus Meyers’ orchestra will ride the ship in the center of McArthur court, and panels of life on the "bounding main” will be placed around the sides, decoration heads said. Tickets for the informal will go on sale next week. Sophomore rep resentatives in each campus living organization will act as agents.

Friendly hall, in 1899, it re- 1 mained there until the completion ' of the present building in 1907. ' M. H. Douglas, who is at pres ent librarian, took charge in 1908. At that time there were 10,000 vol-j ‘ umes in the library. The staff con- 1 sisted of two regular employees i 1 and two student assistants, a strik ing contrast to the 2£j on the regu- j! lar staff and 50 student assistants J [ which tiie library employed in the • peak year 1929.

Literary Digest (Continued from page two) mg names. This was done with telephone books, city directories, rosters of clubs and associations, lists of registered voters, classified mail order lists (for rural popula tion), and certain occupational data. Dr. Frederick E. Croxon and Dr. W. L. Crum, eminent statisticians, pointed out in early October sev eral loopholes in the Digest meth od. Voters in the highly urban ized or metropolitan districts were not adequately sampled, and there was doubt as to whether the wo man’s vote was truly representa tive, for the lists tended to cater to men. Certain economic, social, racial, and religious groups were weighed in the final result, The Digest poll was also cumulative and did not show last minute changes of un decided voters. New voters, those reaching the voting age since 1932, could hardly have been sampled under the lists already mentioned and thus were not accounted for. The fact that more individuals stating themselves Republicans in 1932 returned straw ballots than did those claiming to be Democrats also tended to create a bias in favor of Landon.

CIS. We all agree on this . . . cigarette paper is important. For Chesterfield we use the best paper that we can buy. It is called Champagne Ciga rette Paper. It is made from the soft, silky fibre of the flax plant. It is washed over and over in clear, spark ling water. | A lot of the pleasure you get in smoking Chesterfields is due to our using the right kind of cigarette pa per. Chesterfield paper is pure, and it burns without taste or odor. R.eincttlbcr this . . . two things make the smoking quality of a cigarette—the tobaccos and the paper. The Champagne cigarette paper on Chester fields is tested orer and orer for purity, for the right hurtling quality. Another reason why Chesterfield wins. © 1936, Liggett & Myers Tobacco Co.
