Colorful Affair
Lantern Night, the annual ceremony
which is to the women wh'at Cap Night
s to the men, again made Palmer
Field the scene of festivity last night.
With the appearance of the Freshman
Pageant, the affair was a brilliant re-
'iew of color and beauty throughout.
More than 1200 onlookers crowded the
surrounding hillsides.
A picnic supper, which has become a
iustomary part of the evening, was
held at 5:30 o'clock, and the specta-
tors were amused by stunts given by
the various classes. The sophomores,
,n white, assembled in the form of the
number 1926, doing homage to the
senior class. The junior group of-I
fered a representation of "required
gymnasium", while the seniors, in
large hats and long skirts, were the
participants of a Lantern Night base-
Pall game of 1890.
The stunts were followed by the
picturesque Freshman Pageant. The
pageant represented all the numerous
hopes and dreams and fears that enter
into the life of the three joyous maid-
ens who "trip onto the stage of life."
There is the jester, mocking all; then
cpme dreams, beauty, grief, toil,
doubt, fear, courage-and last of all
the wild exultation of joy.
After the last soft music of the
pageant had died out, the Lantern pro-
cession was formed. The seniors in
caps and gowns came first, bearing
brilliantly colored Japanese lanterns,
symbolizing the brightness of college
lays. Next came the juniors with
their, gay hoops, followed by the
sophomores and freshmen.
Marching to the strains of the Var-
sity band, the line descended and cir-
cled the field. The seniors then
marched down the center with a row
of juniors at each side, the sopho-
,,ores to the right and the freshmen
to the left. The senior line broke into
pairs and passed under the arches
]eld by the juniors; the sophomores
crossed over, marching through the
ranks of the freshmen, the four classes
finally assembling in a block M, with
the bright rays of the lantern outlin-
ing the whole.
Singing of the senior song, and the
innouncement of elections into Mortar
Board, Senior Society, and Wyvern
closed the program.
Irene Field, '27, was captain of the
procession. Miss Janet Cumming of
Barbour gymnasium directed the
pageant.

(By Associated Press)
PHILADELPHIA, May 18.-Re-
turns from 1,088 districts out of
8,281 in Pennsylvania tonight
showed Rep. Williant S. Vare,
Philadelphia, a lead of 75,731
votes over United States Senator
George Wharton Pepper for the
Republican nomination for United
States senator in today's primary
election. Gov. Gifford PinchotI
was in third place, 28,505 votes

The figures were: Fare 11,420;
Pepper, 55,6i89; Pinchot, 27,184.I
The returns included approxi
muately one-third of the 1,492 dis-
tricts in Philadelphia, among them
the Vare stronghold which Sena-
for Pepper and Governor Pinchot1
have conceded to the congress-1
man.
PHILADELPHIA, May 1.-Polls
closed tonight in Pennsylvania's state-
wide primary election after the most
desperate campaign since the days of
Cameron, Quay, and Penrose.
Approximately 1,500,000 voters cast'
their ballots for their choice for nom-
inations as United States senator,
governor, congress, state officers, and ,
legislature. When the voting ended
at 7 o'clock standard time, political
leaders predicted the count would I
show a record total for a primary.
Today's battle centered in Repub-
lican fights for the senatorial and.
gubernatorial nominations. Two is-
sues, attractin national attention, pro-
hibition and party control, predomin-
ated in the contests.
Three candidates, Gov. Gifford Pin-(
chot, Rep, William S. Vare, and Sen.
George Wharton Pepper, each pledged
to support President Coolidge and his
administration, sought the senatorial
nomination.
When the President remained silent
on his attitude towards each, Secre-
tary of the Treasury Mellon entered
the contest as a supporter of Senator'
Pepper, speaking, with James J. Dav-
in, secretary of labor, at a political
meeting in Pittsburg.
The prohibition issue was stressed
by Representative Vare and Governor
Pinchot, the former as an advocate
of modification of the Volstead act and
the latter as a supporter of even
stricter enforcement laws. Senator
Pepper, while classed as a dry, de-
Glared it was not the paramount is-
sue of the campaign and asked sup-
port on the basis of his record in the
Senate.
Senator Pepper declared Represent-
ative Vare had injected the liquor is-
sue in an effort to extend his control
of the party into the state outside of
the city of Philadelphia.

Listen to this tale of romance,

Came they forth, the stoics valiant;
Forth they romped to paleface wig-

Wigwam once of friendly Great Chief,
Paleface mighty 'mong his kind;
Came he forth to take their token
Of the warpath they would tread.
Then to the mighty oak of Tappan
Dashed the screaming, yelling red-
men;
To the tree of Indian legend
Where the white men pale and
trembling
Stood around the mighty oak;
Warriors choice of paleface nation. t
Choice of Tribe to run the gauntlet.
Down the warrors, painted demons,
Swooped and caught their prey like
eagles,
Loud the war cry stirred the stillness
As they seized their hapless captives,t
Forth they bore them to their wig-
wam
There to torture at their pleasure.
There they ate round glowing camp-
fires,
Heard the words of mighty wisdom,
Smoked the pipe of peace and friend-
ship. -

New Plan Will1
End Delay Of
Health Exams I
---
Medical examinations, long the
chief cause of delay in registration,
will be taken care of before the new7
students arrives at the University, by
a new plan announced by Ira M.
Smith, registrar, yesterday.
The new ,plan, it is expected, will
do away with the registration delay to1
a great extent. It provides that in-
stead of undergoing the usual medical
examination by University physicians,
the prospective student may be ex-
amined at home by his family doctor.
A standard blank is provided and the'
record is later scrutinized by officials
at the Health service upon arrival and
then accepted instead of the usual'
record.
It is hoped by officials that the plan
will do much to eliminate the delay
and confusion of the registration
period both for faculty and student
alike. While the total number of en-
tering students will not take advant-
ageof the plan it is expected that the
majority will and the policy is in line
with that of making easier the transi-
tion from high school to university.

United States
Promises Aid In

D isarm Parley
(By Associated Press)
GENEVA, May 18. Nations will fear
to disarm because other nations ac-
tually weaker but potentially stronger
can in the long run conquer them--
I that is the supreme stumbling block
Ito disarmament which loomed today
at the opening session of the prepara-
tory commission.
France mentioned it; Belgium,
overwhelmed in the great war, em-
phasized it anxiously, and Premier
Mussolini's spokesman even declar-
ed: "If you do not take account of
every kind of potential military
strength in a country then you show
a desire to weaken a weak state and
strengthen a strong one."
From the United States came a
I message which evoked considerable
favorable comment, as manifesting
sincere determination to cooperate in
the huge problem of disarmament, and
as showing sympathetic knowledge of
1 the complicated questions facing other
nations, which make the limitation of
armaments diricult, though not im-
possible.
In the first place, as if meeting in
advance any lukewarmness on the
part of the others, or any diposition
to temporize with or postpone difinite
action, Hugh S. Gibson, chairman of
the American delegation, urged all to
devote their "earnest and continuous
attention" to the work.
