CLARIOSOPHIC SOCIETY The Clariosophic Society was called to order by the president, Mr. J. FI. Hikins, who made a plea for all the men who could possibly find time to go out for the coming contests. After the talk by the president, two new members were initiated into the so ciety and both made short talks. The two new members were Messrs. J. C. Faucette and W. J. Thomas. A motion was made and passed to in vite the other two societies to a recep tion two weeks hence.

The invitation was accepted and all the niem [ers proceeded to the luphradian hall. -U.S.C. MARSHAL CANTEY DOING MUCH GOOD WORK Altho the University was closed dur :-g the hi,lidays and things appeared deserted in general, yet all was not dead on the old campus. There were a few people who could be seen hustling around from building to building. They were the janitors and members of the Mlarshall's army. Many of the roons have been scrub bed, dusted and the flo4prs oiled. In otler' words a general housecleaning took place. With all of the above some work has been done on tle outside. In the past many of the buildings have nct been hearing a proper method of identifica i4n1 tI the visitor in the campus. Many (If th(Il have spent much time in trying ti find a student in Legare, and not be ing able to find it because there was io sign tO be seen. Likewise with the 1',x tension Department and the ScliooIl of Jurnalism that are ntw housed in the (ld President's Building. Now these buildings bear piee ottractive signs that can lie seen by all. v such little things; Marshall Cantey is greatly ben efitting things in general over the cam puls.
