Nose- Trouble - cont. would appreciate it if we could hear what the hero ' s saying to the heroine during our weekly cinema, instead of listening to Doughlinking lee laugfgh yheueh with a few echoes popping up gratis, and straining our imaginations to find out what it means. Of course, the building ' s old, but that ' s no excuse. We have it on good authority that even the ancient Greeks knew enough about acoustics to keep their ancient auditoriums — or whatever it was they had — reasonably unlike an echo factory. It probably wouldn ' t cost much to have a little sound conditioning done to the place, and it surely would pay great dividends in student comfort. Somebody might listen to a speaker occasionally if they could hear what he was say- ing, and we ' d surely have less trouble in sleeping inconspicuously. Speaking of chapel, I wonder if the dog which wandered up on the stage October sixth knows how lucky he was. He was one of the best to appear there for quite some time. The applause he got was sincere. He didn ' t say a word, and consequently no one made any remarks about his speech. And he left immediately. If there were only more humans like him. So far, at least, we ' re forced to conclude that this year ' s freshman class is pretty smart. Any- way, they aren ' t dumb. To the point of this writing we don ' t know Compliments of H. F.

Of course, some of them have had trouble figuring out the financial set up at the Bursar ' s office, but then who doesn ' t. And several have gone so far as to buy Orientation Books, but then they may be either innocent or conscientious. We wish they would do something silly, though. We were counting on the frosh for a lot of material for this first attempt, and they didn ' t come through. We hope they won ' t let us down when the next deadline rolls around. Sands Electric Co.

Fraternity Rush Weck-cont. out that everyone was treated alike, except for those who have a car or know a lot of freshmen After returning from the first fraternity house on our schedule everyone felt that the fra- ternity he visited that night was the best. The fellows were all swell, and the house and rooms were beautiful. And each fraternity assured the novices that their fraternity had the best athletic teams and had the most important connections and men on the campus. And if that wasn ' t enough, thev would show you their secret arch- ives wherein lie the numerous thousands of test papers handed down from generation to genera- tion, in the hope that by studying them you could pass English or Math for dear old Beta Kappa Nu. But enough of this tawdv witticism. By the ruling of the Inter-fraternity council upper-classmen were not allowed to talk to freshmen during the days of Rush Week. So the freshmen sat together at mess and all the noise and bad manners of the upperclassmen were re- vealed. Sunday I had the opportunity to go to the Phi Kappa Tau house. There we were served rovally and treated to a glimpse of the Phi Tau thespians, which included among its company Mr. Carl Geenan, actor and playwright extraor- dinary. He told us many jokes and anecdotes, among these many fairy tales. Then on to Sigma Nu. There we were served the usual refresh- ments with the addition of cider. The origin of the cider is contestable. Many freshmen still think that they must have pressed the apples with their bare feet. By this time the freshmen group were in a quandry. All the fraternities had swell guys, swell rooms, swell stories, and swell exam papers. Which one to pledge? That was the problem. And while this wood-burning process was going on, the homework began to pile up at an ever faster rate. It seemed that the teachers had never heard of Rush Week, or else they were dead set against it. By now, some of the boys had made up their mind. One boy wanted to pledge Sig because a few of his relatives had (one dozen uncles, six brothers, etc.). Another wanted to join the Beta ' s because their piano was in tune, and spurned the fraternity whose C sharp was more like C flat. But the majority of boys had not made up their minds yet, so we continued our exploration of the remaining fraternities. What could we find that could finally make up our minds? A hidden storeroom of sugar or a few cans of gasoline? But no, all we found at the KA ' s were a group of swell fellows and at the Beta ' s a nice set of drums and some entertaining records about golf and bull fighting. Rush Week had ended. We finally had to make up our minds. The fellows gave their views on rani: of the fraternities. Why they were no good because one of their actives was taking out his girl and why, the were good because they had a ping pong table with four even legs. Few minds were left unmade by the end of those bull sessions. Friday we went to the fraternities of our choice, then registered our decision with Mr. Hettler. After being told if we were prospective fraternity men or not we went to our respective houses to acquire our pledge pins. Some of us are pledges others are not. Rush Week is over. There is rumor says, more to come . . much more . . Requiescat. « Olmstead Bros. Co. Paper 1 1413-15 MAIN STREET % WHEELING, W.
