FRESHMAN - SOPHOMORE GET WISE MEETING T h e S o p h o m o r e class gave the class of '25 a glimpse of her genius as avenger of broken rules and traditions at the. "get-wise " party last Friday evening, til the college gymnasium. T h e first part of the evening was given over to the persecution of the Frosh. T h e lights were dim and wierd, and stumbling blocks placed at convenient intervals prevented all possibility of escape, Electric shocks were applied to some of the victims, while o t h e r s were painted with a s t r a n g e mixture of paint and glue. After a number of Frosh had been forced to eat skinned grapes, under 1 -the impression they were their ancestors' eyeballs, they were requested to provide e x t e m p o r a n e o u s entertainment for their fellow sufferers, such as solo d a n c i n g and hair d r e s s ing. At 8:30, Vivian Hart, '25, and Grace Aronowitz, '23, came forward, and, as a material result, d a n c i n g began. At ten o'clock, four devoted subjects of King Jazz made a noisy entrance, found their way to the orchestra, and 1 joined its ranks. T h e a u g m e n t e d music was the peppy variety of jazz in which the players dance and sing as well as play. T h e last dance was a medley affair, for the new jazz orchestra played a resume of every thing given that evening. This is the first a p p e a r a n c e the new orchestra has made, and, as a surprise clement, it added g r e a t l y to the evening's e n t e r t a i n m e n t . T h e g y m was decorated in yellow a.nd white, and the banner of the Pilgrim Class held the place of honor, safely out of freshman reach, i c e cream and cake were served cafeteria style from a long white bar at the end of the g y m . Miss Pierce, Mr. and M r s . Suavely, Dr. Croasdale, and D r . E v a n s were the chaperons. Dorothy J o n e s , '24, was the c h a i r m a n of the committee on a r r a n g e m e n t s .

Now, one point will be given for attending a hike arranged by any college organization. An appointment must be made of someone who will get the names of all those attending the hikes and hand in the list to Lela Cackener. Unless the reports 'are made in this way no points can be given. Notice.also that points for swimming arc not restricted to G. A. A. parties. A swimming practice gives you a point no matter when you take your plunge, or what pool, lake or river you patronize, or who enjoys it with you. ft is advisable for each girl to keep a record of all her points, as well as reporting them to the captains, for she may know at any time how near the goal she is.

NEW JAZZ ORCHESTRA A new orchestra—one devoted to jazz music only—has been organized at State, It matlc its first appearance at the soph-frosh "getwise" party, and everyone is talking about it yet. The men and girls who make up the orchestra have been having regular rehearsals for some time, and they feel that they can now offer their services to State. Although the ranks of this new orchestra are filled by State people only, it is iin no way connected with the regular college orchestra. These jazz artists arc full of the idea of boosting State by providing "the real thing" at, the dances and basketball games this winter. 'The jazz orchestra has come, and all the dancers at State want it to stay. The members of the orchestra are well known at State as among the best of jazz player.-. Here ibcy are: piano, Vivian Hart, '25, violins, Grace Arouowitz, '23, and Herbert Horning, '25, banjo-mandolin, lidvvard Sherlev, '24, trombone, John Hays, '24, and Mute—a departure from the usual even in jazz circles—Crane, '25.

TO THE PACIFIC Continued from page 1 Many friends have asked me if I did not find the Middle-West very stupid and I've answered that I was surprised to find it so interesting. We never tired of watching the fields of barley, wheat, and rye, stretching out as far as the eye could reach, with their blucgreen pinnies rippling back and forth in the sunshine, We watched it ripen and saw it harvested in Nebraska. Against the clear deep blue sky of the western prairie, the golden-yellow grain made a color picture, absolutely impossible of duplication on canvas. The real West begins, f should say, in western Nebraska, and there we bad our first thrills at the sight and feeling of the prickly pear cactus, then in full bloom on the 'sage brush prairie. T shall never forget our first prairie camp beside a fine swimming pool. Nature made us welcome with a terrific wind storm which blew down our tents but passed over without wetting us. Wc were well repaid for our trouble by a most, startling exhibition of lightning and two gorgeous double rainbows, complete semi-circles stretching from the northern to the southern horizon.
