T H +,..i IC II [G 1"AN DAJ1, THE. MICLII......A...L. I kVAVA-, .f 4c:*. FAM TM &I m Cora Opines IWell, my dear, here we are al- ready to start theh few semester- that is the new semester is about to start, I really don't think we are ready. Yesterday was sort of a preliminary as it were to the real thing. That is, everyone went around to classes and took a lool at the prof to see if he was a good bet and worth taking a chance or for the rest of the semester. . Of course, there will be several people in this dear, old University of ours that will have decided not to come back this semester-or per- haps they had it decided for them -some people do have that hap- pen you know. But really, my dear, I do think it is quite an ac- complishment to survive these ex- ams. I was a wreck when I finish- ed mine, I mean I really was. You know, I think exams are horribly unfair because what's a poor girl to do when she has four or five of them in a row and has to study night and day for them, thus mak- ing herself look like a perfect wreck by the time she has to take them? You'll have to admit she can't compete with the girls who have gobs of time in between te keep the shadows from under their eyes and are consequently better fitted to flash dazzling smiles on their professor and to tell him sweetlg how much they enjoyed his course. Oh yes, that does help --sometimes. Of course, on the other hand, the overworked femme can cast an appealing look at her prof on the way out, and thus ap- peal to his pity. And, though I hadn't intended to mention it at all, I feel that I really must make known the fact that I did NOT write the letter addressed to me pertaining to a certain course in speech that I have just sur- vived. Really, my dear, I can't understand why anyone would think I had written such a letter to myself, and besides I should think that everyone would miss I that subtle feminine note that is characteristic of my opining. Any- way, that particular dear instructor gave me a passing grade in the course, so I really shall have to remember him in his kindlier mo- ments. UNEARTH ANCIENT TOMB Tut-ankh-amen's tomb has a rival for magnificence since the unearthing of the tomb of Moti Maris, the favorite wife of King Solomon. The &offin is of gold and there is a crown set with pearls, emeralds, and sapphires on the head of the favorite. By the side of the body in the coffin was found a scroll inscribed by the king, commending the vir- tues of his wife and describing her heroic death. The father of Moti Maris visited the kingdom with the intention of murdering the king and seizing the country in the. name of the king of Egypt. He had Moti Maris prepare a poisoned wine for the king, but just as Solomon was raising the cup to his lips she snatched it away and drank it her- self, dying almost immediately. I E EUROPEAN TRIP!

Title Is Still A Secret The title of this year's play, which has so for been kept secret, is to be announced this week. The author of the book, Frances Sack- ett, has received much favorable comment on the novel plot of her manuscript, and the announcement of the title is being awaited with much interest by the juniors and all others who are interested in the play.
