Young Ladies Plan to Obtain New Equipment for Place of Study on Campus. There was more fun and frolic at the gymnasium on last Wed nesday night than that old his toric structure probably ever saw. As someone remarked, it .pas just a wee bit of gay Paree. The co-eds ought to go into the carnival business. Theirs would be the .most successful show on the road. They had the gym artistically decorated and the different side shows ditto. Every thing was fixed up in the most alluring manner-in such a way to allure the nickels and dimes from the pockets of those mak Ing the rounds of the stands. - They were all there, the me nagerie, the guessing contest for a jar of candy (by the way who got that candy anway?), the ven ders of confetti, peanuts, pop corn, and other cqnfectionery vended by pretty co-eds with short skirts-who could refuse to dig for a nic'kel or a dime in those circumstances? There was the fortune-teller, the Spanish beauty, the rambling roulette wheel (which was, by the way stopped by the fair ma nipulator), the sellers of red wine, and 'nally there was the most heightening trip iI the aeroplane. Confetti and tapes found their way into the scented atmosphere and fell on the per sons who happened to be pass ing that way. Somq very artis tic dancing was another feature of the evening. The costumes worn by the co eds were very attractive and elajaorate,". reminding one - of a masked ball, with the masks missing. Everyone departed from the scene of gaity with a very happy feeling and wishing that the fun could have lasted longer. from'their yells seemed to en joy it very much.
