KSK Dance Is
Brilliant Affair
Decorations Effective
Leo Downs And His Orchestra
Furnish Music For
Festivities
One of the seasons most brilliani
dances sponsored by the girls K. S. K
took place in the University Gymna.
sium on Friday, November 2. Music
was furnishel by Leo Downs and his
orchestra. Decorations of shrub oaks
formed an effective background for th<
nattily attired gentlemen. Boutonnieres
were conspicious in the boy's cos
tumes. Dandelions and pink roses
were favored, especially with dart
blue outfits. From the dance, on(
would gather that straight hair is
definitely "in" and that flowers in th
lapel will probably replace the gooc
old stick tie pin.

roommates in more or less anguished
silence, but a University of Wisconsin co

cently, and in a communication to the
Gripers' Club, student paper column, set
forth the woes of all roommates every
where.
"My dear, dear roommate," she wrote,
"we have now enjoyed each other's de
lightful company for three whole weeks.
When I first met you, that beautiful
maiden's smile of yours, your ever-gay
disposition, your happy-go-lucky air as
sured me that our school life together
would be semester after semester of
bliss. Certain minor things have come up
that irk me. I have tried to tell them
to you time and again, but when I see
you go blithely through the day, a per
sonification of a ray of sunshine, I
haven't the heart to take the chance of
spoiling your happiness. So, my beloved
roommate, I am taking this opportunity
to get these irksome things off my mind
out of my hair. I know you won't read
this, and even if you do it will do nc
good. At any rate. sweetheart. here i<
what I increasingly can't stand.
"(a) Wipe that perpetual silly grin ofl
your kisser.
"(b) When I lend you silk stockings
I expect them back. Christmas is a long

"(c) Who cares how popular you wer<
in your home town? The fact is thal
my boy friend is sick of forever fixing
you up with dates, consequently making
himself Man to be Avoided No. 1 among
his friends.
"(d) Give me at least a 50-50 chanc<
at the candy I get from home.
"(e) If you can't stand having your
clothes in order, at least let them accumu

Writers Must Be Born
Not Made Of Nothing
New York (ACP)-"Insidious adver
tisements" which claim to teach people
to write constitute "one of the worst
rackets of the present day," Mary Ellen
Chase, novelist, recently told a class of
Columbia University extension students.
Thousands of people, a high percentage
of them, young men and women, are being
mulcted by the "racket," Miss Chase de
clared.
Considerable ability, plenty of time and
patience and an independent income were
classified by the author of "Mary Peters"
as important prerequisites for a literary
career.
-U. s. .
To give recognition to the college stu
dents submitting the many fine essays
which do not win the first, second or
third prize, it is planned to annoumce an
honorable mention award to not less than
15 students.
