A part of the variety ol' University life consists of loaling outside the corner Drug. Here the fraters discuss the qualities of passing blondes, lolllng conveniently in the meantime against plate glass windows. But a more important part of the variety is the epidemic of hard-times parties that assails the campus about the middle of the fall quarter, Fraters and sorors alike indulged in them this year. Black paint and bowery costumes characterized them all. For the moment cyncism disappeared. ln contrast to this frivolity, several hundred students attended the lecture given November -l by Bertrand Russell, scientist, philoso- pher, writer and speaker, Your philosophy, said Mr. Russell, should be a well-balanced combination of idealism and practicality. llis lecture was the opening one in a series sponsored annually by the extension division under the direction ol' F. W. Reynolds and ul. M, Adamson. ' 1bo1,'e-BERTRPND RUSSELL, , ,, ,--X Page ll

I :ff f . l l NEOPHYTES or THE SCABBARD AND BLADE 5'5'x . 1, A! Y. CHI OMEGA Luucu Dwi s c lo P1 KAP GOATS i A sudden avalanclie of luncheon dates, two weeks of helter-skelter activity, one day of lamenting, and the social world of the Greeks fell into its routine of parties, poker and bridge. A week or two after fall rushing. initiation of the previous spring quarter's pledges began. Temporarily there was a cessation of social nicities on the campus.

Their lingers ilched to practice the grip. Initiation was over.

Right-ENGINEERS VISIT THE FAIR BEIGE'-FORECASTING THE B.Y.U. DEFEAT The engineers, they have tin-ears, they live in caves and ditches, Maybe that's the reason why they take so much interest in the annual Utah State Fair. Or maybe it's because of their avowed gate-crashing Vadi- tion. At any rate, fair officials were wary, and when the Engineers reached the grounds, rattling up in their ereaking old trolley after having made a tour of Main Street, they were met with the vision ol' an entrance care- fully guarded by an extra assignment of Salt l.alte's Blue-coats. Vice- President Walter Dauncey was caretul to see that the proper entrance fees were paid. The first big football rally of the year was held in the R. li. O. theater the night before the B. Y. U.- Utah game. The discordant crash ol' n hastily mustered band, a howl- Yoo-o Redskins -, the harangue ol' yell leaders and the hiccoughing ol Baccliztnally-disturbed youths, and the Utes were all set to win another loot- ball game. About this time, too, the Gamma Sigs got into the swim and tossed at Page Masque party, with the l-lallowe'en mode predomlnatnig.
