of the Liberal Arts College refused to sanction the hazing of incoming students. However, be- fore the Dean was able to fully nullify the ac- tivities of the agency and the D-Club, several freshmen were forced to perform specified acts. Roy Samson was seized by the D-men, taken to the Veranda fronting the Campus square and forced to make a speech on the merits of the athletes. 'lVly fine fellow friends, and worthy ath- letes, begins Samson. Louder, louder, put some life into it, yells Hank Tavener, D-Club president. Louder, louder, mimicked Samson, and they have some life in them, these stalwart men of the gridiron, but they are also a big bunch of overgrown sheep's wool knitted into a letter sweater. And with this declaration, a mob of athletes abruptly hauled Samson from the veranda, sent him through the spats and told him to return to the D-Club court to be re-sentenced for con- duct unbecoming a freshman. Many freshmen were thus initiated into campus life by upper- classmen until the officious interference by Dean Walters abolished hazing activities. O Fall registration at the University brings an influx of new students and the return of old students. The gymnasium forms the center of registra- tion, activities and the freshmen, flustered by their first contact with Collegiate life, seek to 0200 CARDS-CARDS-CARDS-CARDS! but it's not a game . . . it's registration time in the gymnasium.

Oh, no, Charley, let me play. Heh, heh, let me play. 'l'hat's good. Well, you might be a gentleman and let me wear your coat. Come on with me. l'm going to the 'psyc lab' to study. l'll let you wear it to your next class. b O ln back of the Mary Heed Library, a broad terrace runs the full length of the building. Here, students sun themselves or look through the range finder, which is mounted on the Wall supporting the terrace. On a clear day, it is possible to pick out the individual peaks which make up the Continental Divide. During the summer college terms, lawn parties are held on this terrace. I Collegians use Carnegie Hall as the place for the gathering of the coking clan. During the afternoon, when classes are not in session, coeds are constantly luring their males to the soda fountain, and there, by devious practiws, are able to secure soft drinks. Some coeds have to be bribed to have their pictures taken, as did Carel Turner, Dorothy lean Armor, Eva foe Babcock and Winifred Iacobs. The Clarion editor, seeking pictures for the Rotogravure section, asks, Say, will you come over to the soda fountain? I Want to,get some pictures. What's in it for us? asks Carel Turner. Nothing but a picture to keep as a sou- venir replies the editor. Well, if you will buy us all a 'coke,' We'll pose for you, declares Winnie Iacobs. How about it, girls? All the Coeds gave their assent on condition that the editor buy them each a drink. Don't let them make you bribe 'em, says Ross Wescott, standing behind the soda foun- tain. What do you think, Mrs. Regnier? the edi- tor questions of the hostess of Carnegie Hall. Why, sure, buy the girls a 'coke,' she avers. C The freshmen are subjected to good hu- mored hazing by the D-club and the upperclass- men during their first few Weeks at the Univer' sity. Most of the frosh are required to do stunts selected for them by the D-Club men. This year, the freshmen enforcement agency was unable to function because Dean Walters FLIRTATION WALK . . . with Prof Scofield, in the background. watching history mode. P CAREL, DOTTY IEAN.

The gym is crowded with freshmen who timidly present their program cards to various professors. Will you please sign this, sir? queries a coed freshman. Oh, thank you, as she takes 'her card away.

You'll remember that, Won't you? Of course, and thank you for being so nice, declares the freshman coed as she leaves. O Students who take astronomy classes at the Chamberlin Observatory become inured to the cold winter nights when they spend many hours looking through the telescope at the num- berless heavenly bodies. What's that funny little ball? lt looks like a fuzzy piece of cotton, inquires a bewildered Alpha Xi, standing on the platform mounted near the telescope. That's a comet, explains Professor Recht.
