Any (lay at Salem. Dear Mother, Next time you see me I .shall be as thin as a rail, and through no fault of my own either. My quota of food today was next to nothing, although the usual large quantities of food were being brought forth from the kitchen. It was my room-mate’s time to get breakfast; so I slept late and then rushed down to the dining-room expecting to enjoy a surprise meal. It was a surprise all right! “I didn’t get any grapefruit, it looked so little and sour — and I knew you wouldn’t want any of that mushy old oat meal. It reminds me of —, well, you know what! And the eggs weren’t cooked long enough, but here’s some greasy bacon and cold toast. I’m sorry, but it’s the best I could do,” ex plains my room-mate. “Y.ou know, they ought to have more of a variety of breakfast foods here!” Well, mother, by the time she had finished I was weak ly agreeing that we should have steak ajid apple pie, too. But when I think about it, there are more different things to eat and larger quantities than we should go to the trouble to have at home. When 1 walked in the dining room for lunch I was met by groans of “Oyster soup again, ugh! How can anybody like those horrible slimy things? Just think of all the dirt in their stomachs,” and much worse remarks which won’t bear repeat ing. “Let's go to the ‘drugM” You know how I adore oystei*s, so il bravely stood my ground although almost knocked down by the general exodus. When I was at last served I raised the spoon to my lips in happy anticipation, but the memory of those deprecating comments turned me green and I carefully re placed the spoon in the dish. I decided to try the sandwiches. “Please, may I have the potted-ham sandwiches?” “You mean the dog-food sandwiches,” corrected one of the girls. At the end of the meal she too supplied, “Oh, look what we have for desert, ten-cent-store-perfume cookies! Let’s go, there isn't anything tit to eat! Everyone’s through, isn’t she!" The whole table rose and so did I, hastily gulping a glass of water and wiping my mouth, because I was ashamed to admit that I have a secret passion for some of the foods they seemed to dislike so. By dinner-time I was exceedingly hungry and had dressed long before the six o’clock bell rang. I did manage to eat a little something before the late arrivers came straggling in and I had to stop to serve them, but I wondered through the whole meal whether we were going to have a vegetable. When the maid was clearing the table I saw a bowl of spinach being taken off and moaned out loud. “Oh, did you want some?” exclaimed the girl who had Representatives of 12 eastern uni versities and colleges, selected by campus elimination meets, will enter the first annual Intercollege Bridge Championship at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in New York City this week end. (April 2ti-27). The tournament, which will be played in two sessions, Friday eve ning anil Saturday afternoon, is an invitation event and is sponsored by a comiiiittee of graduates from the various colleges. The seven Ivy League universities auil five women’s colleges which will enter their best bridge pairs in the competition are Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Harvard, Mount Holyoke, P(‘nn.sylvania, Princeton, Radcliffe, Sarah Lawrence, Smith, Wellesley, anil Yale. A permanent trophy has been established by the sponsoring com mittee and smaller replicas will be awarded to the two winners. In ad- !ition, each pair will receive a week end in New York City with all ex penses paid. The Championship is not only the lirst bridge event ever held among a number of college.s, but it will also be the first tournament of any kind in which women’s and men’s col leges will compete on an equal basis, it was said. COIN FRANCAIS »i«th club ELECTS OFFICERS A THEOPHILE GAUTIER (Sully Prudhomme) Maitre, qui du grand art levant le pur flambeau, Pour consoler la chair besoigneuse et fragile, Rendis sa gloire antique a cette ex- quise argile. Ton ame a done re.joint le somnolent du tombeau! Ton corps va done subir 1’outrage troupeau Des ombres sans desirs, oil I’atten- dait Virgile, Toi qui, ne pour le jour d’oii le trepas t’exile, Faisais dcs Voluptes les pretresses du Beau! Ah! les dieux (si les dieux y peu- vent quelque chose) Devaient ravir ce corps dans une apotheose, D’incorruptible chair I’embaumer pour toujours; Et i’ame! l’>nvoyer dans la Nature entiSre, Savourer librement, eparse en la matifire, L’ivresse des conleurs et la paix des contours! asked the maid foi- her drink instead of asking the hostess. “I didn't even bother to jjass it because i thought nobody liked the horrible stuff'!” The girl next to her had passed back her plate with the request that I remove the piece of meat which she “couldn’t stand.” 1 tliought every one knew that she should say nothing about food already on her plate. Seeing my favorite pie, cocoanut, my disappointment over the spinach was somewhat lessened. 'O-o-oh, those first three bites were wonderful! Creamy and ricli, with juicy threads of cocoanut i‘uiuiiiig tlii-ough them! “1 hate to say this, but don’t you think this pie tastes like wet chicken feathers?” giggled one of the girls. The power of suggestion is great. We filed out of the dining room. Would you mind sending me a box of food, as soon as possible so that I can eat in private? Love, from your starving Daughter. —B. W. CATHERINE HAKRELL At the meeting of the Mu Alpha Theta (Matherwatics)' Club Tuesday night, Catherine Harrell was elected pre.sident for the coming year. Other officers ar^: Eleanor Hutch ison, vice-president; Wyatt Wilkin son, secretary; Barbara Whittier, treasurer; Doris Shore, assistant treasurer. LET’S BE FRIENDS Every day of our school year we have classes with day students; we see them on campus, we see them in the libraiy, and we see them in the post-off’ice and in the drug store. Even though we see them as often as this, there is a feeling not too friendly and cordial between a number of day students and boarders. Some pass each other without a slight “hello,” nod, or glance, It is true that sometimes we are together only in class meetings or some other meeting, but there is always a constrained feeling as if there is a “gap” between the two groups of students. The boarders are really anxious to know the day stu dents better by whatever means open to us. There are some of us girls in both groups who are the best of friends, there are some who know each other well enough to speak, and there are those who don’t exert themselves to the point of the least recognition. Let’s all try in some way to fill this “gap,” and make all the girls more friendly. —B. II. MUSIC NOTES RADIO PROGRAMS Toscanini conducts the NBC Sym phony Orchestra at 10 p. ni. Satur day.

Since the electric record- player has been added, this entertainment may be chosen at will. Unfortunately the will of the owner of this amazing instrument is not always in accordance with that of her neigh bors’. She may enjoy the nasal twang of a blues singer; her friend down the hall probably prefers the New York Philhar monic. It is just possible that somewhere on the floor there is an ardent jitterbug who, in spite of an overwhelming de sire to dance, has some work that must be done. There might even be someone who has a headache and would like to sleep. These people exist, but their personal preferences are ignored by the owner and operator of the machine in question. She blithely plays her favorite record ten times in succession. She merrily leaves her pet program on at full blast—while she takes a bath. She must know that she does these things, unless, per haps, she is deaf. But there is one fact of which she seems to be totally ignorant. There is, on most radios, a small knob, usually at the extreme left, which, of all things, diminishes the volume. We think that someonfe ought to tell her. —B. P.
