Distracted and ill at ease,
I rested my head on my elbows,
And oh, how I wanted to sneeze!

Of all the assembhled throng;
I gurgled and gargled to suppress it,
And that sneeze was bottled forI

TOMTORROW1'S CONVOCATION
At ten-thirty o'clock tomorrow morn-

the University will have the opportu-

memorating the birthday of George
Washington. In an interesting~ pro-
grama, the most attractive feature will
be an' address by Dr. Edwin F. Gay,
a graduiate of the, University, and
piresident of the New York Evening
Post.

rial rewards in the formi of letters are
also prizes worth striving for. Soph-
Ioniores, in particular, are encouraged
to come out for these positions, since
they have the opportunity of workingj
upto the highest managerial posi-
Itions.
Entrants .into this field of work find
their compensation double. First,
there is the satisfaction gained in
serving the University in its athletics.
Isecond, there are' the material re-
wards and the opportunity for the de-
velopmeht of personal ability. If these
advantages were; fully understood
there would-doubtlegs be more try-'
outs for athletic mnanagerships.

A PLOT
EDear Sir:
1I love the co-eds; specially whlen
they bob up and down and their flufi'y
hair flops, so I will give 'emn a lblot'
.for their old Junior Play.
Why not adapt Will Shakespeaire
pl1ay? I found it in the wlhrary Oincst.
and read it, and I think with a little
doctoring it would be real good. And
nobody would recognize what it was
cause nobody reads that stuff no
more. It was about a co-ed that
dressed up in men's clothes and wan-
dered about the forest of Arden and
had an awful time.
Act'I. Instead of the Forest of Ar'-
den, have some co-eds, hantin'
around a sorority house. Some could
wear knickers, and golf socks. (I
