Yet there are also certain rewards, for the males are gen- erally treated to eats afterwards, an expensive undertaking if they are as hungry as usual. Many girls found the cost well invested this year when Cupid's shining arrows struck down Southern and Spartan men on the night of February ll in the Thomas Iefferson gym.
