All who were not in Wisconsin swarmed to the Phi Gamms ' open house. It was a good thing it was an open house instead of a closed house, for if they had closed it up everyone would have suffocated. As it was, everyone stepped on everyone else ' s feet. Of course it was nice. Insignia Day comes once a year. £ Prexy and Miss Loomis preferred that the Juniors should not do any rowdy stunts this year when the Seniors had their Insignia Day. So the Juniors just buried the hatchet with the || Seniors, and that was all there was to It was a sad occasion, so Les- ter acted as the crepe in the fun- eral procession. It was a per- fectly nice Insignia Day, but some unkind persons continue to insist that the Juniors were a rowdy sight. The social celebra- tion of that day was held out at the Golf Club, about three days after the day itself. The Juniors thought it would be nice to give a nice play. They did not think that an operetta was a nice thing, but further still, they did not think it would be nice to give a Greek play. Tim Lynch would not make a very good red-headed Greek. The Juniors postponed their play until the second semester. The Sophomores did not appreciate the idea of the fireless, old-original, English Barbecue which had been put on the year before. The fire department did. The fires were started, but the brave fire laddies put them out. The Sophs tried that old stunt of handing out wienes for food. They went on the theory that every dog has his day. Many of the little Freshmen looked quite angel-like as they went up among the clouds that evening. 191 3 ' s barbecue is the best yet.

October is the month for nut-brown ale, but this is a dry town. Still, autumn seemed to get around just as regularly without the nut brown as if there had been two or three kegs of it on tap. In fact, autumn came in the same way as it has during the nineteen hundred-odd years of the earth ' s existence. How sweet are the rustling leaves in the autumn time, but yet how happy it makes some poor crea- ture that the lawn on the campus has to be mowed no more. Dramatic Society enter- tained, and undertook the work of show- ing the new girls that they could be real men on the stage, when garbed in the regulation bloomis cos- tume. That thriving adjunct of the college, the Motten Lecture Bureau, had a howling success in its first lecturer, Dr. Bacon. No re- 1 a 1 1 o n to Francis. The Wyom- ing foot- ball team and Mr. Bur- gess stayed a few days in Colorado Springs. On one of these days, the Tiger boys took ' ' twenty-nine points away from them, but in return they gave nine. A few elections were neces- sary to fill the vacancies on the Stu- dent Commission, the Athletic Board, and the Tiger Board, but ward-heelers were prohibited. Contemporary gave their annual German. A German band furnished the music, and a beautifully appointed Dutch lunch was served. All favors were thankfully received. Prexy entertained the Freshmen. They had a much better time than they expected, and decided that they were going to have a great liking for him. Everyone ' s heart went pity-pat quite a considerable number of times on that day when we sent oui Tigers to defeat the University of Wisconsin, but no one was the least bit 16 • . ■£i:$ ' $ !.«• ' « •. .. .• ' .

This is the month when the lussers begin to despair the idea or more fussing in the Jungle. The days get very chilly, and it is much more comfortable to sit together up in the cozy little parlor in the girls ' hall. These are the days when the football man v begins to envy the easy life and habits of the fusser. j Now there had been a new set ol rules adopted for the regulation of the young in Colorado College. R The rules meant well, but to some it seemed a «| Ht little too much like — well, hardly like taking U the candy from the baby. Thereupon there was dissension and discussion, it was of a silent kind that did its work when no one knew — in the night, as it were. But like all things of this sort, this was finally settled, and every- one was left feeling most happy. The dea of having two fraternity nights a month, and all fraternities to have their social, functions on those nights was adopted by the faculty, and was accept- ed by the fraternities. On the fourth day of this month, a large part of the college made a general exodus on a special train to that side station in northern Colo- rado known as Boulder. There the Tiger football team played a game. Then we all came back to Colorado Springs again. The Boulder rooters did not act in a rowdy manner this time — just simple. Prexy and Mr. Bowers were Q both rather put out because of the fact that Mr. Statton, as manager of our team, did not bring back more than half of the gate receipts. And by the way, the score was 8-2, with C. C. having the 2. A week later the Tigers went up against another rather tough proposition. This time it was the Mormon boys from out in Utah. Those Mormon boys were fast, too, and no 18 « V ' M « • » « .-. ' •■.• • » , i . . , » « .1 • « « • « . ' . ' • . .. • T, v. . ' ■ ' - ' •■ . f» •• • . • • - . • • • ' • » •
