A Mean F rick By F. A. MiTCHEL :ls evident that they would ruin it. '' ell, the crew went to the regatta, ihcie were more o f the women stu- o f the college at Poughkeepsie nat year than ever tiefore. They said hey had come to see their alma mater win. They formed a knot o f cheerers. though they had no leaders. Every -h i looked inexpressibly happy. There were six crews competing. At die signal to go they started together, but within a few minutes began to separate, the better crews leaving the poorer ones behind. When they reach ed the goal the college whose co-eds bad cotue to cheer a victory came in last, being a hundred yards behind the next last boat. Then the women students gave a •beer, but not a cheer o f victory. It wus a cheer for votes for women. Then they each and all went home, and their alma mater saw them no more. In time the true reason for the run ning down of the crew and its failure came out. At a class meeting of the women students on the 1st of June a committee of the most fascinating girls were appointed to lay in wait for (he members of the crew with a view to breaking down its efficiency. Each girl was assigned her object. Perkins was first captured and gave Etbel Cur tis a promise not to row. sbe suggest ing the story about his doctor and heart weakness. Bowers was snared by Louise Van Winkle. Tompkins was sent up the cliff for a flower by Wini fred Turulee. with the expectation that he would break something, and he came near breaking his neck. Charn ley had no mother to oppose his row ing. but Lucia Harker stood in her stead. With the success o f these four there was no need o f any other mem bers of the crew being lured. When the students— men only— reas sembled in September every member of the crew who had been seen in com pany with a co-ed during the preceding June was cut by bis fellow students. Not one of the men who had been duped had been rejected by the girl who duped him. There Is a certain college In New England in which until a few years ago young women were admitted to the courses. It is well known that It was the men students who brought about the passage o f the regulation that no woman should thereafter be admitted as a student to the college. Why the young men objected was a puzzle to every one except the faculty. The girls claimed that the reason of their being dropi>ed from the college was that they took the scholarships away from the men. so that women instead of men were being helped through college. The boys declared that the reason why they did not want girls in college was that they took up room that otherwise would have been taken by men and there were fewer men to draw from for competing with other colleges in athletics. This made the girls mad. It has been claimed that in order to take re venge on the men they put up a Job to bring about the defeat o f the college team that had been long In training for the annual regatta free to all col leges at Poughkeepsie immediately aft er the June commencement. There was every expectation that this team would win the race, and every one con nected with the college was anticipat ing the eclat that would attach to their alma mater on account o f the victory. The college was a small one, and it was hoped that the winning of ► a race so Important would attract stu dents—men, not girls.
