"Well, what about them?” ask
ed Scott, his big brown eyes smil

was whittling away at a broken

"What do you mean, what aboui

poets? 1 thought you were a CBS
bandleader, song-writer, and cla-

I ve just written lyrics for a
song of mine called ‘In a Subway

There were four students who ! ^

Secretary Violet Hoffman told
about the splendid religious en-

Charley Pittman spoke on the
Physical Education Department,
He said that every boy was per
mitted to go out for the varsity
sports; also we have intra-mural
games such as: football, basket
ball, softball, ping-pong, soccer,
and horse shoes for any of the
boys or girls who want to play.
Mary Lou Hayes gave the so

as the Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A.,
Student Christian Association,
Fraternities, Sororities, and other
clubs on the campus. The pur

“'They were terrific. But foist, get
poing about them shoes, buddy.”
"Have you heard my new or
chestra, sir? We’re recording for
Columbia, Have you heard us
on the air? We’re doing Concert
in Rhythm for CBS.”
"I have," said your reporter,
"and the orchestra's got every
thing the quintet had, only more.
But," continued your reporter,
whipping out a tiny waxed mous
tache. "comment ca va les soulieis,
K.onsieur Scott? Hein?”
"You're wrong. I never write
out a song,' replied Mr, Scoll. It
was getting harder to tell which
was bigger, the grin or the crack
in the' ceiling. "1 compose them.
First I play what I want the
trumpet to play; and then I play
what I want the clarinet lo play;
then 1 play what I want the sax

it sounds. Sometimes it takes a

"Listen, Scott, how about those
shoes? "
"Well, what about them? " ask
ed Scott, sitting bolt upright, ana
fciinning in a voice of thunder.

Just a couple of feet in grey lisle

Your reporter turned to Scott
tor an explanation, out Scott was
already out of the office, leaving
only a slight breeze and his grin
l.ovoring coyly over the type-

By the spring of the year foreign
nations are expected to be spend
ing twenty million dollars daily
to purchase armaments from the
United Slates.
The present war is often de
scribed as a war of colors. The
"War of nerves " last summer was
the white stage. The present
stage of inactivity is described as
the Grey stage. The black war
of destruction is expected lo come,
A flea sitting on the bottom ol
the Grand Canyon would have to
look down to see an American
Nazi. The only thing lower than
that is an American Communist.
Articles commenting on Foreign
Affairs can be found in numerous
