Campus Heroicly Attacks Problem of Disposing of Hundred
Cakes and Brings Campaign to Successful Conclusion.
o :
An orgy of cake eating descended
upon certain fortunate sections of the
campus Tuesday and Wednesday fol
lowing the victorious return of the
winning Cake Racers to their rooms
laden with the spoils of the race. As
the victorious runners more or less
unwillingly played the part of the not
so. genial host to his . friends, many
were the prodigous tales told of the
subterfuges resorted to by entrants in
the: race imbued with the lust to par
take of cake, but doubtful of their
ability to win one in the manner pre
scribed by the Intra Mural authori
ties, to accomplish their ends. -
The Cake Race was the subject of
practically all theull sessions, whichj
were even more garguantuan than
usual. June Fisher's victory was a
popular one. The'redhead was -in a
rather bad way. when he staggered in
behind Barkley last year .after a game
fight, and he "passed out" for sev
eral minutes. His comeback to win
first place in record time this year was
hailed with popular acclaim.
One story widely circulated at the
bull sessions was . concerned with
brilliant plan said to have been con:
ceived and executed by one of the men
among the first few to finish in the
race. He is a freshman, and was
therefore unknown to Dale Ranson
and Luther Bvrd.' who checked the
men in at the start of the race. One
of his'' friends checked 'in his name
and ran the 'first half of the course
Then the friend dropped out, and the
first man, who had been Waiting a

ranks of the racers unnoticed and

ease. ... - '. -

The Tariff Commission was formed
in 1917. For the first five years it
worked all right, but from that time
on it has lost its working facility.
Its members are appointed by the
president, and the president changes
the" tariff on the suggestion of the
Commission. ; Two years ago the work
of "the Commission was almost stop
ped by a senate investigation of it
as a result of trouble within the
commission.
At present there is an investiga

"Several times one or another of
the two political parties has tried to
remove or to change members so that
they might gain power or change the
point of view of the commissioners,
Mr. Costigan said. The president
would appoint some of the members
to higher positions and thus get them
off the Commission, and it has had to
appeal to Congress on several occa

Several of the winners with more
speed than endurance were alleged to
have started out at a very speedy
pace, and to have maintained it until
they 'began to become tired., when they
stopped and rested for a few moments.
Then they resumed their race, and
continued it. until they tired again,
when they once more stopped to rest
This procedure "was repeated, several
times, but they were said to have over

inches in height, with ability and

director: Bill Downs, D. C. Wood,
J. A. Metz, and F. M. Brickman, Jr.
Just why such extraordinary stature
is requisite for this unit is not known
yet, but speculation is rife. Sugges
tions have been made, only to be dis
counted as worthless, that moon
V plucking or some other strange antic
was to be a feature of the perform

of the cast. No 1 knotty masculine
muscles adorn their calves, no hirsute'
'embellishments do they disport, but
alluring is their grace, adorable their
'.femininity, and captivating their vo
cation. These charming ladies are

mucn neeaea ana promises to give
the department much more scope and
efficiency.
j.ne main aepartment has never
before, in the history of the Univer
sity had .a "Home." Heretofore they
have had to have a room here and
there as they could get it. In the
past few years the department has
added many' courses of higlier math-,
ematics and has had an increasing
number of students so that the pres
ent amount of class room space is en
tirely , inadequate. The third, ' or top
floor, is given over entirely to the
nlath; department and satisfies a long
felt need.
On this floor there are four class
rooms, each twenty-three by twenty,
one smaller class room, and four
seminar rooms. One of the irfost uni
que features of the Math depart
ment's addition is ;a -"Model Room,"
seventeen by twenty feet in size, with
large glassc abinets extending the
full length of the room, from the
floor to the ceiling. In 'the center of
the room there will be a long table
about , which twenty or more students
can sit. This ."Model Room" is to
contain a great number of very com
plicated models, showing every con
ceivable plane and surface that the
mathematician has to deal with. Some
of the models are to be of glass, some
of metal, plaster of paris, others of
wire, and steel. Contrary to the
usual custom with such valuable
models, these will not remain in the
cases but may be removed and studied
by the students in the seminar and
higher math courses' Demonstrations
and lectures will be given in this
room with the models in use. ,
This additional housing and the in?
troduction of many new courses meets
the growing need for the higher
math department above that of any
University in the south. This state
ment has been verified by a 'compari
son with various other catalogues.
Our Math department now has the
best balanced curriculum and the most
adequate equipment of any Southern
University.
This addition to Phillips Hall is
nearing completion and will be turned
over for use in the near future.
