1.U .- ..It-.IS At the early i)art of the year a free telephone service was instituted, and this accommodation was given to anyone living within a radius of one mile from the club-house, and many people took advantage of the reduced rates. This institution met with so much approval that at the end of February a check for forty-seven cents was given to all the poor unfortunates for the purpose of furthering our work of charity , and this was extremely helpful to Father and the Boy. But no longer does the fraternity retain these great institutions, so charity is a thing of the past. Such hackneyed expressions as My ife . and I want my pie , are not permitted to be used in the clu1)-house. Although there have been hut few social e ents thus far, owing to the fact the brotherhood has been devoting its time to the help of the poor and needy, yet. as the Swastika goes to press, the fraternity is planning a house-party for the near future, which will undoubtedly be as uni([ue and enjoyable as anything which has been given in college circles this year. 119

Los Solteros, or The Bachelors ' Glub. was organized in .Scptcnihcr iqoS, fur the ])uri)i)sc ni furnishing some interest to the bachelor fraternity of the College faculty, where it would not he sul jcct to the con- stant interruptions of that sly little fellow — Cupid. In spile nf tlie cozy quarters, good things to eat, and various stag celebrations, the little s])rite is working ha oc with the fraternity, and has enticed away our worthy brotiier, Mr. B. P. Fleming. Mr. F ' leming is a non-entity, Ijut for the sake of better language, we insert the words ' Honorary Member . May he rest in peace! In a short time this dangerous little god will again make an inroad into our [)eaceful midst, and it is (piite probable that with our small membership this year, we shall have to submit to his wishes, and permit him to take away with him, one — perhaps two — of our loyal brothers. (We feel that it is not necessary to mention anv names, for thev are known to everyone in this community. ) 118

The organization was for the purpose of giving the boarders an opportunity to make their own rules, regulating meal hours, the quality of the Chuck , the price of board, table etiquette, and other matters. Perhaps the most prominent rule of the club is its exclusiveness; no one is admitted to the club without first having been unanimously voted in by those present at any club meeting. The e ening meal is con- sidered the regular meeting and business matters are always discussed during supper time. Some evidence of the quality of our food is given by the fact that Harry Lane gained fifteen pounds during his first month with us. Not only do we have quality but also quantity ; complaints are few and far between. 120
