"Thirty-three," some lusty voiced freshman in a rather brave moment yelled. "Thirty two," retorted an idle sopho more. Then the fun began. The battle cry was voiced far and near. The sophomores got out on the campus and gave an or ganized yell for their class. The freshmen "razzberried." Paper was thrown. The studious fel lows clamoured for silence. The unthoughtfiil "frosh" continued to yell. Words, unmentionable and otherwise, were hurled with equal force and vigor. In fact, the land, supposedly adjoining the river Styx, was raised and torn asunder. All this took prace on the uni versity campus Thursday night between the hours of 11 and 12. Whether Dean Bradshaw had the foregoing incident in mind when he talked to the freshmen in chapel Friday morning is not known ; but he did voice the fol lowing opinions which seem to supplement the thoughtless pro cedure: "The sophomores have been very considerate this, fall and it might be ventured that very few men have been" hazed in any manner. "It appears that freshmen should realize just how. fortun ate they are by being treated with such unusual courtesy. "They owe respect to men who have so leniently disregarded a time-honored institution and al lowed them to go unmolested."

Fraternity Real Estate Is Valued at $500,000 Real estate owned by frater nities here at the University is down on the town tax books at $308,000. Since assessed valua tion is about 60 per cent of real value, the houses and lands own ed by fraternities are worth about $500,000. Old-timers coming back to the village observe with amaze ment the growth in fraternity j propjrJyj, ' "Thirty-five years ago, when I was a student," one of them said the" other day, "there were only about a dozen fraternities. They did not have fine chapter houses costing $40,000 or more, as they do today. The members would rent a room somewhere which would serve for meetings. Sometimes they would rent a little house in a yard, one of the buildings that used to be' called 'of f ices' like the Kluttz cottage, for instance." There are today thirty-one national and four local social fraternities, thirteen profession al fraternities, and two sorori ties. A membership of over 900, including faculty members and students who are in college here now, is embraced in the men's fraternities, while the two wo men's sororities have a mem bership of nineteen. The chapter houses serve to ease the University's housing problem. Many of them provide sleeping quarters for their mem bers, and in some of them dining rooms are operated. Several hundred students, who would otherwise have to seek dormitory rooms on the campus, are thus cared for.

CARTER SAYS GREAT INTEREST IN SOUTH -.AMEBIC Representative of International Telephone and Telegraph Company Talks to Engineers.' That the college graduate who is looking to South America as a land of opportunity should make a careful survey of the ad vantages offered by a position with a corporation doing busi ness there was the keynote of a talk, by P. D. Carter of the International Telephone and Tel egraph company before the Wil liam Cain student branch of the A. S. C. E. Thursday evening. Mr. Carter, who is a gradu ate of the school of engineering of the university, lias been with the I. T. & T. for three years and has worked in Cuba, Vene zuela and Chile. In the course of his talk he presented the ad vantages of work with a corpor ation in South America and then what he chose to call the disad vantages. Among f he advantages he mentioned were rapid promotion and rapidly increasing respon sibility, the respect of the peo ple of South America for the American engineer, and the priv ileges of living in a metropolitan city. He urged that one considering a position in the foreign field take the disadvantages into con sideration before signing a con- tract. His group of disadvan-lw tages included the distance from home and relatives, the addition al expense of living in a foreign country at a standard to which one is accustomed, the lack of sanitation in some .places, and the many minor things such as the practical impossibility of obtaining a decent haircut or shave. In concluding his talk, Mr. Carter told many of his' experi ences during his three years' service and also of the activities of the I. T..&T. in the various fields in which it has established operations. .
