Thou must needs retire at thirty minutes past ten of the clock, for then do thy lights go out. But thou mayst burn the midnight candle, for to study and gain knowledge from thy scrolls. Howsoever, thou shalt not prevent thy sister in the next abode from being wafted to sleep by the gentle zephyrs. And above all else, conduct thyself ever in the manner befitting the dignity of a Wallace Hall maiden. And according as the maidens of Wvallace Hall obeyed these rules, they did live, and love, and have their laughter. L. E. D., '12, 1 UTA OTA CLUB. William Horne, President. Fred Carson, Secretary. Oscar Ellison, Vice President. Charlotte Burlington, Assistant. Fred Shimian, Steward. Mrs. L. J. Scott, Matron. Should a Sioux brave invade the Mac campus these days, it is a fore- gone conclusion that his first point of interest would be the Uta Ota Club, Heap big feed, ugh, ugh! Uta Ota has sprung up to meet the growing demands of M ster's increased attendance. The Club quarters are situated at the corner of Grand and Cambridge, and are handsomely furnished. Its parlor is equipped with a piano, with the aid of which soloists and a quartette drive away Dull Care -and its members-occasionally. Oyster suppers fare you guilty?l paddles, theological and sporting discussions, visitors, jokes and good fellowship have made this club one of the jolliest spots on the campus. Prunes and tariff are strictly tabooed. F. F. C., '11. 106

Head Second Floor Now, it came to pass in the days of Wallace, 'tPrexy, of the Macales- terites, that there was a noble band of co-eds, who had no place whereon to lay their heads. So it came to pass that a great building was buildezl and decorated within and without with great splendor. Yea, verily, it was builded where Summit Avenue doth intersect Macalester Avenue, and most lovely did it appear there. In honor of the Prexy of that time it was named Wallace Hall, and many did revere it. To this place came maidens from both far and near, who did abide there and did remain, some four years, some six, even so long as 'twas their pleasure. Here they dwelt in peace and happiness, as many as were not homesick. Unto such as were stricken with this malady came the old girls like ministering angels and did heal them. Thus the years passed. Many are the tales told of their midnight feeds and frolics and there are still those in Macalester who remember them. There did dwell with these merry maidens a noble woman who did guide and counsel them, and who helped them most wonderfully. She taught them to know themselves and their native tongue, and did love them exceedingly. Another woman there was, one who looked after their temporal welfare. She it was who did make for them good things with which to feast and make merry, and did see to it that the maidens were Warm and always happy. She was much beloved and good to look upon. Now, it came to pass that these merry, mischievous, mild maidens saw fit to make unto themselves these rules whereby to be governed: Thou shalt rise at seven of the clock that thou mayst be properly clad so as not to be too late to the first meal of the day, when thy fast is broken. Thou mayst not remain in thy bed past the time aforesaid, unless, perchance, thou or thy neighbor hast whereof to refresh thyself after miss- ing breakfast. Thou must attend faithfully to thy duties at the college, else thou mayest not be properly called a co-ed. Compel not thy man guest to stay to devotions. It becometh thee not to force any man to worship after a manner of which he does not approve. When thou goest forth at night, provide thyself with a chaperon, unless, luckily, thou be a worthy Junior or Senior. If thou hast a caller entertain him not with the hooded chairs turned to the wall, for in so doing thou mayst prevent thy sisters from finding out whom it is thou honorest with thy company. 1 105
