FOR FAVORIS., BAND,
Isham Jones and Johnny Hamp
Orchestras Are Being
Discussed.
DATE IS FEBRUARY 12
Lowest' TicketPrice in History,
Seven Dollars, Is
Agreed Upon.
Plans for the largest social func-
tion of the year, the J-Hop, took
definite shape last night when the
committee in charge of the dance
met in the Union to consider pos-
sible orchestras, favors, and decor-
ations
The Ho will be held from 9 to
3 o'clock, Friday nlight, Feb. 12, in
the Intramural gymnasium. Tickets
hav been reduced to, seven dollars,
the 1owest- price in the history of
this affair. They will be on sale at
the main desk in the Union lobby
where they may be obtained only
by juniors until the end of next
week. After this time they may be
secured by members of the other
classes...
To Choose Bands Soon.
Orchestras that are being con-
sidered for the dance are Isham
Jones, Johnny Hamp, and several
others. The committee will make
the selection of the band within
the next ten days. Campus senti-
ment seems to favor Isham Jones
over the other orchestras that have
been suggested.
As has been customary in the
past, fraternities and groups of in-
dependents may secure booths,
which will be set up on the sides
of the dance floor. They will oc-
cupy these with their guests dur-
ing intermissions. The booths are
at the present time being assigned
to the various houses.
Favors Are Selected.
Favors have already been select-
ed. They will be imported Floren-
tine book covers of-genrine- leather
done in various colors and of suffi-
cient variety to suit all tastes. They
will have, "J-Hop of 1933," inscrib-
ed on the face. Balfour and Con-
pany, who secured the contracts
for these, are at the present time
working on them.
Decorations for the affair have
not as yet been decided upon. The
J-Hop committee expects to take
this up in the next few days. It is
expected that the auto ban, as in
former years, will be lifted for the
week-end betwen semesters. Last
year it was removed at noon on
the Friday of the dance and did
not go back into effect until Mon-
day morning at 8 o'clock.
THREE SUSPECTED
OF BOMB OUTRAGE
Men Admit They Were in Easton
on - Night of Fatal
Explosion.
NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-(IP)-Three
men arrested in connection with
the investigation in the nation-
wide search for perpetrators of the
Easton, Pa., bomb outrage, tonight
admitted, authorities said, t h e y
were in that city the night of the
explosion that killed two postal
clerks and a bomb expert. -
The men found in the lower New
York East side were being question-
ed at the general postoffice.
The arrests were made in con-
nection with the investigation of
the bombing last week, in which
three men lost their lives, and the
finding of a dozen other bombs
there, and in numerous other cities.
The bombs had been sent to prom-
inent Italians and Italian-Ameri-
cans.
The identity of the suspects was
guarded closely, as also was the
chain of circumstances which4 led
to their arrest.
From unofficial sources it was
learned the arrests were made on
information obtained by s e c r e t
service men and postal inspectors.
They had followed a trail from Eas-
ton to Dobbs-Fe ry, where they
learned the dynamnite used in the
bombs had been stolen.
From'Dobbs Ferry, the trail led
to a house in Summit, N. J., where
it is believed the bombs were man-
ufactured.

"To anyone who feels hurt, we
read, "because we have omitted
their particular gripe we say that
we had something worse to say
about all those left out than we did
about the ones we used. We just
couldn'thprint it, that's all."
There is again the "Hmph of the
Month." This time it is about the
"daughter of a certain professor
hereabouts," and there is also a
little story about some members
of the speechdepartment faculty
and a convention in Chicago some
time ago.
A "Mythical All-Faculty B a n-
queting Team," is among the other
selections of the issue along with
an article under the title, "Profes-
sors," which contains some familiar
names and some than are not so
familiar. "Research," is another of
the articles.
"All Right, Mr. Treasurer, Pro-
duce that Live Stock," one - of the
articles under t h e title, "Your
Money, Where Is It?" demands. The
figures are taken directly from the
President's Report for 1929-30.
Grantland Rice writes for the is-
sue an exclusive statement /to the
