Miss Swindler, “was discovery of a

iting professor at Yale’ University.

Help Make Garlands
Miss Brady asks all students who
have time to come to the basement of
the Gymnasium to assist in fixing over
the flowers that have already been
made, In the future will all students
making paper flowers please wind the
flowers higher up on the stem? If the
wire is too low, the paper slips loose.
The materials for making the
flowers were distributed to all the halls
at 1.30 p. m. on Friday and had been
used up by mid-afternoon. More ma-
terial will be here this week. A sug-
gestion has been made that students
seeking parts in plays make flowers
in the intervals when they are not

On Three-Year Basis
ese
-At a recentgmeeting of the Board
of the Athletic Association it was de-
cided to revise the point system on a
three-year basis instead of:a four-
year basis in order to take care of
May’ Day. Nobody will receive any
points for any sport,in a May Day
year.
According to this system a person
would need only three-fourths as many
points as heretofore in order to get a
stripe, class insignia, college blazer
or insignia. May Day year, then,
woulgdfot count at all. The new mem-
bers of the varsity hockey team ‘in
that year will get their little owl in-
signia as usual, but no one playing
hockey will get any points for it.
The Board of the Athletic Associ-
ation recommends that there should
be no swimming, basketball or tennis
attempted in May Day years. It was
tried this year in both basketball and
swimming and it was found. that
neither coaches nor students had
time enough to carry out any program |:
of practices or games.

To Come to Dancing
Music Room, February 11.
“Every student in college must take
the responsibility for coming to folk-
dancing practice two separate half-
hours a week,” Miss Petts announced.
Everyone dances three folk-dances,
“Peascod,” “Sellinger’s Round” and
(“The Twenty-ninth of May.” All
‘three must be done well and accu-
rately or the whole effect will~ be
marred. ©
There are, in addition to the regu-
lar .dances, four special dances, for
two of which the dancers have al-
ready been chosen. The country and
Morris dancers have been selected;
the other two are the sword and
horn dances, The latter is being ,
given here. for the first time this
year and is most effective, although
its steps are simple. The dancers
wear twelve-point antlers (probably
to be made of papier mache).
