Waa-Mu Beauty Judges Deny Charges of Flagg . (Big Ten News Service) Evanston, 111., March 24.

With Contemporaries (Continued from page two) such as that which marks the great gulf of change that lies be tween the Twentieth Century and the dark ages. Tenacious adherence to a policy of vener ation for the past gives to the world the pathetic condition of modern China. It was at the behest of the renaissance of the Sixteenth Century with its re birth of the whole social order that society was able to remove the mists that surrounds the medieval monasteries and to give to the modern word its boasted independence of thought and action. With the experience of the ages at our disposal, 1 we have opportunity to draw the, sanest conclusions the world has yet known. Therefore it is our problem to use the facts and figures of the past to stimulate independent thought and activ ity that will give poise for the task of adjusting the present social order to rapid and funda mental changes. As potential leaders of the future this prob lem's one we may not with wis dom shun.

Daily Texan. The U. S. A. Is a Nifty We have been accused of hav ing truck with Soviet Russia. Some say that we areSoso Sta lin's secret agent and that, if we ever had the opportunity, we would break a leg curtseying be fore Vladimir Ilyitch Lenin's mausoleum on the south side of the Red Square. What fantastic accusations to level at us ! No man in his right senses could question our Ameri canism. For generations upon generations our family has sweated and labored to construct the magnificent edifice of the United States on what was, in the eighteenth century, a revo lutionary commune. Our great grandfather died in the Revolu tionary War. We, ourself, will become a member of the Society of the Sons of the American Revolution when we become of age. And they call us a Red! Only the other day a young man called us over the telephone from the headquarters of the Hoover Loyalty League. He wanted us to enroll in his or ganization the nembers of which, he told us, are pledged to make the, welkin ring by writing letters to all the newspapers. And what did we answer the Hoover Loyalty League? This is what we answered : "The cam paign to flood the nation with laudatory comments on Dr. Hoo ver thrills and dazzles us. Count us in. . Readers, this is a great coun try, and it grows greater by the minute. Where else can you have so much fun for so little money?" In what other country could you read the record of the highest legislative body and laugh yourself into stitches? There is something inherently grand about this country. The U. S. A. is a nifty.

Lamb, President-Elect f Ameri can Chemical Society, Cites Advantages. "Chemical warfare is the most merciful kind of warfare I know about," said A. B. Lamb, Erving professor of chemistry and presi dent-elect of the American Chemical society, in an inter view with a Harvard Crimson reporter. "When chemical warfare was first used in the World War we thought it extraordinarily cruel and barbaric as compared with ordinary warfare.' And indeed chlorine, the first gas used, was frightfully painful and corro sive. But this gas was shortly abandoned for far more effective gases which were not painful when breathed and which did not warn of danger. 'Mustard gas' belonged to this class, and while it was responsible for something like half a million casualties during the World War, it, produced no pain what ever when breathed and little extreme pain at any time. "More important still, the gas casualty gets well. Accord ing to the statistics of the medi cal corps of the United States Army twenty-four per cent of the total American casualties in the World War died, while only two per cent of the American casualties caused by gas became fatalities. A gas casualty is put out of action for days or months, but almost always he recovers and recovcers completely. Per manent injury is rare. Compare this with the frightful and tragic victim of shell and shot. STUDENT AUDITING BOARD TO START WORK NEXT WEEK (Continued from first page) their accounts audited. No Salaries Regular members of the board will not receive salaries, but in the event that professional auditing services are required, the cost for such work .will be taken care of by the organiza tion concerned. At the end of each fiscal year in April the re ports are to be completed. The activities of the audit board will encourage careful bookkeeping, eliminate student dishonesty, and allow a readjust ment at the beginning of each new administration if such is deemed necessary from the re ports.

A Maid and 3,000 Men Miss Collire Cornell, feature editor of The Stanford Daily, in an article revealing (as per United Press) the most intimate secrets of 3,000 college men, says that five per cent of the men students at Stanford uni versity go to bed "raw" even on chilly nights. If they do wear pajamas, they neglect tucking the shirts into the trousers. Others combat the cold and still enjoy perfect freedom by sleep ing "in the natural" but under the bedclothes.

University of North Carolina and Washington and Lee are honored by having representa tives on the National -Steering committee. They represent the south. Horses and Barbers Not Used at Princeton in 1799 "Horses and barbers are ut terly unnecessary to students during the , sessions of the col lege, and there are more than two-thirds of the students who never use them, except now and then a barber on a public occa sion," declared Dr. Samuel Smith, then president of Prince ton, in ,an article dated Septem ber 5, 1799, and addressed to the parents of prospective Princetonians. .

Stripes and More Stripes in Ties Cay Neckwear Popular in Contrast to Quiet Tones' in Suits and Shirts STRIPES and stripes and still more stripes are revidenced by a mid winter review of men's neckwear. Furthermore, they are stripes of gay colors in contrast to the conservative tone in winter suitings. And they are not only gay but are of contrast ing colors in themselves contrasting but hormonious. One of the most pop ular colors ' 1 ties this winter is brown with stripes of red or wine color. Some shades of brown even have stripes of blue or green. Gold and red stripes are also seen on a dark brown back ground. Almost invariably, in the best shops or on the best dressed men, the stripes seen are in neat cluster groups spaced ratner rar part. Not more than three con trasting colors are found in a clus ter and as a rule it is two. Such gaiety in striped neckwear, it is noted, calls for conservatism in the shirt and collar This may be in the form of a demi bosom shirt of quiet pattern, with collar to mt.tch or white collar, or it may be in th A fnrm n v. : j. broadcloth, with separate collar or with collar at Uched.

Senior regalia, which is to be worn by all members of th- graduating class, will be a white, sleeveless slipover sweater man ufactured by Spalding, with a four-and-one-half inch seal of purple on which will be sown a one-and-a-half inch "32" in gold numerals. The emblem com bines the class colors, purple and gold, which will be sown on the front of the sweater.

The senior week committer, composed of Ed French, chair man, Harlan Jameson, and Wal ter Mason, urges all members of the class of '32 to place their orders for regalia within the next few days. OHIO STATE INFIRMARY DOES RUSHING BUSINESS At Ohio State it was estimat ed that the university hospital dispensed 145 miles of gauze bandage during last quarter. Other supplies given out during the same period included five and one-half tons of sugar, seven teen gallons of vanilla, eighty five pounds of magnesium sul phate, fifteen pounds of cold cream, and 50,000 aspirin tab lets.

Sharp color contrasts in shirts have also produced this winter some de mand for quiet, conservative colors and patterns in ties to go with them. Among these are observed such fig ures ajs the bird's eye, hound's tooth, neat geometricals and shepherd's crooks.- There is also a definite trend among some particular dressers for plain, ; lid effects in neckwear. These are found in solid colors with "self" patterns. They come in rich shades and are distinuisliable by their weave miniature he ringbone, chev ron stripes, dice patterns, small dia monds, etc. A new necktie feature this winter, which might be t rmed sportingly conservative, is a tie of solid color rearing miniature - sports figures. You have to look closely to determine whether the little figure is a dog's head, a horse's head, a golf club, a shot gun, v id aad reel or some other emblem of sport. Such ties are worn, not only for sports events and gatherings, but upon any occasion with a t r a p t clothes. Reports to neckwear manufacturers continue to sustain the old rule of good taste laid down for shirts, col lars and ties : Gay ties with quiet shirts and vice versa.. v
