Wyflie THE Freshman Smoker Committee, after several important meetings and extensive planning, decided to hold the annual smoker in the living-room of the Harvard Union at 7:30 on the evening of April seventh. The Committee decided to change the custom of having some prominent business man speak and asked a well-known athlete, Mr. George Owen, Jr. '23, to relate some of his experiences. Another welcome innovation was the showing of slow-motion moving pictures of last autumn's Harvard-Yale football game. The Committee placed the catering in the hands of the Harvard Union and proclaimed on very artistic posters that abundant ginger-ale, sandwiches, and doughnuts would be served to all. Leavitt and Peirce furnished the cigarettes, pipe tobacco, and favors, consisting of copper match cases appropriately engraved. Cogan and Bullard, stars of the Hasty Pudding Club Show for several years past, enter- tained, and music was furnished by an orchestra assembled by B. D. Hanighen. The Committee arranged for a flashlight picture to be taken by Notmanls at the Smoker. It was an excellent program and its outcome was a very successful evening. l17l ,,.,-vYw,V......-W-...-,,,.,,,.,,, W F M a

Hanighen PROMPTED by suggestions from the debating team, the Entertainment Committee was drawn up and inaugurated in 192-1 by J. H. Holder, Presi- dent of the Freshman class, with the aim of fostering unity and furthering ac- quaintance between men from different schools. For a number of years the committee has achieved its purpose, and each Freshman class, realizing the need of such an organization, has given its support and encouragement. Last year's committee conceived the idea of making the Freshman night at the 'fPops into a dance with the view of producing a greater interest in class entertainments, but this plan, not meeting the approval of the faculty, was necessarily abandoned and the committee ended by providing no entertainment. This year L. W. Dickey, chairman of the committee, presented three ex- cellent plans for the approval and executive sanction of the Regent, Mr. Luce. The first was to hire a theatre for the best show in town, and the second was the same proposition as that of last year's committee, but the last and most promis- ing plan was to have a class picnic at Revere Beach similar to those formerly given by the seniors. With the University Theatre riot fresh in mind, the Regent felt obliged to discourage all three proposals and, for lack of other ideas of a sufficiently ex- hilarating nature, the committee was forced to forego all plans for this year. Because of the discouraging state of affairs for the last two years, it is thought probable that the Entertainment Committee will be discontinued in the future. l19l
