Greek Sneak
After a pledge “sneak” Theta
Xi members were minus one cook,
one house president and plumbing
fixtures. The members resent
their enforced hunger strike, loss
of plumbing is causing “consid
erable embarrassment,” and the
house misses the kidnaped presi
dent. Persons with adequate ref
erences may apply to Theta Xi.

bo That's It
Studying the fermentative
abilities of yeasts used in indus
trial work, advanced bacteriology
students delve into the ancient
arts of wine-making. The micro
organisms are isolated at suc
cessive stages of fermentation,
the researchers discover the ex
act processes by which almost in
visible blobs of yeast transfer
fruit into more than the 20 per
cent legal alcohol limit. A couple
of yeasts can change grape juice
to champagne or burgundy or
even beer, Prof, H. D. Douglas,
said.

Repetition
Red was the face of one senior

Russian Soldiers
(Continued from page tivo)
France has and as Germany is
attempting now. Yet Russia
fought all through her history,
had to fight. For centuries Rus
sia was the bulwark of Europe
against countless eastern invad
ers—Petchenegs, Cumans, Kha
zars, Mongols, Tartars, etc. The
proportions of this struggle
against the East were titanic, and
its historical significance tremen
dous. Later Russia had to fight
mostly western foes, and, to note
the two most striking examples,
proved to be the grave of the in
vincible Swedish army in the be
ginning of the eighteenth cen
ttury and of Napoleon’s French
army in 1812.
Russia was not always on the
defensive. For example, Russians
took Berlin in 1760, Paris, to
gether with allied troops, in 1814.
In all these numerous campaigns
Russian generalship was often
deficient, the provisioning of the
army was usually bad, but the
soldier was always good.
Best Expression
Now that the Germans are
smashing Russia for sixteen
months one sees again the value
of the centuries-old Russian
bravery. Allies call it heroism,
Germans often name it heroic
fanaticism. Its meaning was, per
haps, best expressed in words
a long time ago by a young Rus
sian recruit. In his first battle
this recruit showed maganificent
courage. After the engagement
an officer asked him, “Were you
not afraid?” The young soldier
answered: “Nobody can die twice,
nobody can escape one death.”
With this understanding of the
necessity to die for one's coun
try and the perfect naturalness
of such a death, the Russians
are meeting their latest invader.

another jazz great from Daven
port, 111. (Remember Bix, et al?).
About 'Gene Leo: There has
probably never been any jazzist
in these parts so consistently
sought after, listened to. and ad
mired. His fresh, imaginative, in
cisive playing make him a peren
nial favorite. At the moment he
is the chief attraction at the Hol
land, and last year he drew for
Bob McFadden. Ted Hallock, Hal
Hardin, and probably others I
couldn’t count. I’m flunking math
10. But even if Genie had no rep
utation to rely on. he just couldn’t
help attracting the praise that is
ever showered upon him.
We have heard the immortal
Hal Hardin say a praise-be-the
lord for Verne Spaugh and Daryll
Renfro, so, like the aforemen
tioned laddies, they must be
strictly au reet.
Harry Nelson ? He's president
