One K.S.K. said, "Gentlemen, must we allow cause for such acrid comment from supposedly dlisinterested quarters to continue, or will we shrug our shoulders and go to a show while one-tenth of the stu dent body, half-afraid to be seen be cause of the smallness of their number.. eases uptovwn with an occasional quer ulous yell?" Other enthusiasts arose and offere i suggestions for another parade after the meeting. The K.S.K.'s have suc ceeded in gathering together a group of men who are of one opinion on a variety of subjects, and the parade and torch-light procession was decided upon and carried out, as Coach Lightsey, to whose house they marched, found out. The new freshmen caps were men tioned, and the president informed the group that the headgear had been or dered and paid for by the canteen, but it was impossible to say just when it would arrive. However, it is expected "almost any time no.w."
