Freshettes DineSumptuously

SPAGHETTI AND JELLY BEANS

E'even o clock—and all is well . The

freshettes have been purged of at leas t

some part of the greenness, and now ar e

homeward bound, in as gooey-messy-

sticky, a condition as the fertile imagina-

tion of the gifted committee could con-

ceive . It would he impossible to sayt' at the girls of Arts '24 were at all sub-dued, but they somehow seemed les s

bumptious when they had been pu tthrough the process ; which, after all . wasquite mild .

The question, "Must I roll it with m ynose?" signified that a young lady ha dgone through the first stages of havin gher face painted with boot-black, and wa sabout to chase an onion down the stair sin the approved fashion, i .e ., on hands .knees and nose . This was a good begin-ning, and, when they had completed th eonion promenade and had dutifully take na nice little bite out of the onion, eac hwas allowed to he anointed with a littl edog-fish oil, receive a shave and be blind -folded. This being complete . each fresh-ette was conducted down the hall to th ecommon room .

"Get down on your knees—keep you r

head down, " said the kindly Soph . incharge, using a nice wet sponge wit hmore or less discretion . A' few more we tsponges, some slimy macaroni, a fire -cracker, and the innocents were allowe dto stand up. A jelly bean, soaked i ngrease, was administered to help brea kthe monotony .

"Down on your knees again! Craw lthrough here! Now, stand up! " \Vow !Just a piece of ice! " Oh, oh! " —only atooth-powder shampoo moistened wit hperfume . And then each green (blackand blue) freshette had had sticky lock stied up with a suitably colored ribbon .She was led to the men's common room ,where she sat in state with a fellow -sufferer in a similar condition, only mor e

so. They fed one another syrup—a littl einside and the rest outside. After beingtarred and feathered, they finished up b yswimming on a piano stool and crawlin gabout the auditorium.

A cup of coffee, some animal cake, an dan all-day sucker were the rewards fo rbravery to the young innocents, whil erefreshments of the usual order and ex-cellence were served to the others pre -sent . Then they danced" until eleven.Hurrah for '24!

U .B.C. StudentsReceive Honors

WILLSON COATES-RHODES SCHOLA R

It was with considerable pleasure tha tthe many friends of our former president .Willson Coates, learned of his recent ap-pointment as B . C ' s . Rhodes scholar for1920 . The choice was a popular one, a sWillson was a general favorite among th estudents of the Un i versity .

Coming from japan where he reside dthe earlier part of his life, he took up hi sh ; gh school work at King Edward . U .B .C .and Willson became acquainted in the fal lof 1916 . when he began his college career .He was a valuable acquisition to Arts '20.as during h ; s four years' sojourn wit hthem he held positions on almost everyexecutive within the 'Varsity.

College activities and Willson went wel ltogether, especially after his return fro moverseas . when he re-entered student lifewith all his former zeal . Athlet cs, acting.singing and directing meetings were hisdiversion. His capability resulted in hisbeing elected President of the Alma Materin his final year, and the choice was awise one .

A capable student, a conscientious work-er and a good fellow—with a high regardand a high standard of ideals,—Willsonwill, without doubt, do great credit to hi sUniversity and Province over in Oxford .The best wishes of his fellow-students ar ehis in his journey across the pond.

Crossing TheGreat Divide

FRESHMEN ENTER UNDER -GRADUATE SOCIET Y

Groans and dull thuds, pierced no wand then by a shriek, sounded above th ehum of humanity within the Scienc ebuilding during the early hours of Satur-day night . The poor freshmen were be-ing initiated . There they were, a curiou slooking gathering, huddled in the Phys-ics lecture-room. Some were clad i nunionalls and others in their old clothes ,but all seemed prepared for the worst .The room was quite warm, but manywere shivering and trying in vain t obrace their knees . Each one answere d"Here, sir," to one whom they seemed t orespect very highly, and then a couple o fobliging sophomores took charge of him ,blindfolded him and led him away .

As he crossed the door-mat his fee tslipped suddenly from under him, and h ewent sprawling to the floor, to be gath-ered up and led backwards to the restin groom on the first floor . Here he was in-vited to sit down, and, glad of the oppor-tunity of a rest, he took his seat, but, t ol .is surprise, it was into a tub of wate rthat he sat . Dripping from this, he wa sled backward again, up to the operatingroom, where he was well bathed in paint sof various colors, to be passed on to thenurse, who tenderly bandaged his ears t othe back of his head with some nicesticky flypaper . The dentist then had theo pportunity of ins p ecting his teeth and o fplacing a liberal ration of shaving soa pwithin his mouth . The barber came nextwith a thorough shampoo of some ne wtonic . In the convalescent room he wa sroused into action by means of an elec-tric vibrator and a scientific boost, whichcreated within him a desire to go for ajoy ride . This desire became well satis-fied as he was placed upon the gloryglide ; down he went along a ten-foo tslide sweetened in three places by over -hanging sacks of moistened coal-dust .This was the end of his travels, and h ewas then conducted to a room in whic hwere gathered others of his sufferin gcomrades .

Shortly before nine o clock nearlyevery member of the freshman class hadbeen initiated into'the mysteries of 'Var-sity life, and each one was possessed wit hthe desire to "tell the world," so a down -town parade was organized. Eightabreast they marched along Broadway t oGranville Street, where a circle wa sformed and some College yells given .

For three years Pa thas devoted almost all her time to workingfor us . Her loyalty is still expressed afte ra few weeks at Toronto in the followin gstatement : "Don't believe anything aboutthe poor finishings of U.B .C . ; even ourtemporary quarters have not a few excel -lent points . "

In her class work here Patricia has al -ways ranked first . Still, each year, sh ehas represented Arts '20 in the inter-clas sdebates . During her junior year she wa sclass representative to the Women ' s Liter-ary Society, Associate Editor of th e"Ubyssey" and the first President of th eSigma Delta Kappa. In her Senior yea rshe retained the latter office and added th esenior editorship of the "Ubyssey" and th erice-presidency of the Historical Society .Since leaving us Patricia has had a ne wexperience—she has learned to get he rbreakfast in a kitchenette .

Walter James Couper was born in Scot -land and came to Vancouver with his fam-ily while he was still of public school ag eOf a modest and retiring nature, he ap-peared to be quite harmless as a freshma nat U .B .C . While taking an active inter-est in all branches of student organiza-tions . he became prominent as a speake rand debater when he twice represented th eUniversity in inter-collegiate debates, an din his fourth year won the gold medal atthe oratorical contest and was chose nvaledictorian for the graduating class .After return i ng from overseas shortl yafter the armistice, his progressive tend-encies became evident . A man of kee nintellect . he has an earnest desire to arriv eat truths untainted with false prejudices .Last spring his capabilit i es were recogniz-ed by the University of California when h ewas awarded one of the Flood Fellow- ~ships in Economics . His studies this fal lhave been unfortunately interrupted by th esudden death of his father . He w i ll be re -turning shortly to Berkeley, California .with the family .

CLASS MEETINGS

Arts ' 2 1

Mr. Joe Schell was elected President o fArts '21 on Monday, when the specia lmeet ing of the class was held . He wil lfill the vacancy caused by the resignatio nof Mr . James Mitchell . Mr. Sammy Gal -braith was chosen Treasurer, to replaceMr . Winston Smith, who is not attendin gUniversity this year . The members of th esenior class decided to hold a meeting onc eevery month in order to plan their activi -ties . The class executive follows : Presi-dent Joe Schell ; Vice-President, Miss M .R . Munro ; Secretary, Miss Mckee ; Treas-urer, S . Galbraith ; Class Reporter, H . W.MacLean .

Arts '2 2Plans for this session' s activities wer e

outlined by Arts ' 22 i n their first meeting ,which was held last Thursday. Thejuniors are planning an active programm eof hikes and parties for the session . Thefirst event will be a hike, which is plan-ned for Saturday, October 16th . The clas sparty will be held in the first week o fNovember . The juniors adopted the pla nof levying a class fee of $2.50 to cover th eyear's activities.

Several vacancies on the class execu-tive were filled at the meeting. The com-plete executive follows : Honorary Presi-dent, Dr . Sedgewick ; President, J . P. G .MacLeod ; Vice-President, Miss K. Grant ;Secretary, W . McAfee ; Treasurer, MissA. Watson ; Literary Representatives, Mis sMary Munro and C . A. Woodworth ; Ath-letic Representative, L . McLennan ; Clas sReporter, C. Clarke .

Arts '2 3Arts ' 23 have prepared an ambitious pro -

gramme for the session . At the first meet-ing of the sophomore class, held last week ,the following list of events was approvedby the members : October, Hike to Grous eMountain plateau ; November, Class Partyand Skating Party ; December, Theatr eParty ; January, Skating Party ; February ,Valentine Party and a second hike .

In order to carry out the most immedi-ate of these events, the following commit -tees were appointed : Hike (about October20), Miss E. Eveleigh, Miss Beth McLen-nan, Mr. H. M. Cassidy and Mr . JackShier ; Skating Party (about Novembe r30), Mr . R. L. MacLeod, Miss B . Pearce ,Mr . G. H. Scott .

The class decided that in order to fin-ance the events of the year, it would b ethe best policy to follow the example o fArts '22 and collect a class fee of $2.50.This is somewhat a departure in class fin-ance, hut the reasons supporting it areobvious .

Dean Coleman was elected as honorar ypresident to fill the vacancy caused by th edeparture of Professor Russell .

Arts '24The men of Arts ' 24 elected their clas s

executive on Tuesday of this week . JackWilson was chosen President and Garre tLivingstone Vice-President . Harry Pur-dy was elected Secretary and J . Bloom -fie l d Treasurer. The literary and debat-ing activity of the class will be under th ecare of Don Baker, and the athletics un-der that of Greggor . Prof. Mack East -man was elected Honorary President .

THIS SESSIO N

Probably we will enjoy a greatermeasure of success in our College publica -tions if we commence the session with adefinite program or policy . The constitu -tion of the Publications Department call sfor certain things to be aimed at : (a) Thepublication of hand-Look and student peri -

odicals, (b) The raising of the literar ystandard of the University, (c) The bind -ing together of the whole student body .

As previously explained, we had to giv eup the publication of the hand book, owin gto the increased cost of labor and thematerials used in it, as paper and theleather for the cover. This was done inorder that we might have sufficient fund sto carry out the publication of the othe rstudent periodicals, the Ubyssey and theAnnual .

Under the prevailing conditions, the sizeof the weekly cannot be enlarged, and w edo not think that it is possible to carry o nwithout our advertising in order to mak eour weekly a Literary Magazine, hence w eintend to devote the Weekly to the news o fthe college, including some jokes and othercontributions which may come in. Dur-ing the session two literary supplementswill be published. Mr. Coope and Mr .Stevenson, both of Arts '22, are to be theeditors of these supplements, the first o fwhich will appear just before the Christ-mas examinations and the second on eabout Easter .

We can try to bind together the wholestudent body by encouraging the keenestof College spirit, that is by publishing Col-lege yells and songs to be memorized an dto be used at games and at student gather-ings, such as Alma Mater meetings an dtheatre nights .

We want to have at least four specia lnumbers this session, one number for eac hUndergraduate Society, that is, an ArtsMen's, an Arts Women's an Agricultureand a Science number . The material fo rthese numbers is to be contributed by theundergrad ., for which the number is in -tended, and edited by the regular editoria lstaff of the paper .

This feature should develop some inter-est, and we are looking forward to it sbeing supported by the whole student body.

The Annual will be the last publicat io nduring the session and will appear lust be -fore the close of the session. In it we wil ltry to have recorded the activities of th edifferent organizations . as well as som eliterary work and jokes, together wit hp i ctures of the executives and possibly th e

FRESHMEN, AHOI !

To the members of Arts '24 the"Ubyssey". extends a cheery welcome . Formost of you the entering of college marksthe first serious decision which you havemade. May you, as a freshmen class, lear nto appreciate what it means to belong t oan Alma Mater and to understand thatyou are passing on to an entirely new stagein your experience, in which you haveceased "going to school, " but in which indi-vidual respons ibility has become the pre -dominant force in your lives . The bene-fit which you shall receive from your Uni .versity course will depend, almost alto-gether, upon your own efforts . If you areserious and prepared to do a fair amoun tof work there will be no regrets . But i fyou are a time-waster, well—Christmas i scoming and so are examinations .

It may be cruel for us to mention any -thing so repulsive in our first issue . Butthe worst has been told, for there are man yfeatures connected with a Universitycourse which should make it the happiestperiod in one's life . There is the oppor-tunity of making friends among thosewhose interests are very similar and whoseideals and standards of life are of thehighest character. Through the medium o fmultitudinous organizations, each withtheir aims and pursuits clearly defined ,students are invited to indulge in thei rfavorite hobbies or to receive training i nany branch of activity for which they ma yhave special aptitudes . It may be well t oremember, too, that the individual wh ocomes to college merely to study—to be -come a storehouse for facts—is not gettin gan education . Only by enter ing whole-heartedly into college activities can on ehope to develop the fullest possible life—the aim of the true student.

We make haste to advise, however, thatall new students should exercise carefu ljudgment in deciding between the variou ssocieties wh ich are awaiting you withopen arms. The policy which we wouldsuggest is that everyone show an intelligen tinterest in all organizations . but that youreserve your active support for one or tw osocieties in which you are especially inter-ested and from which you may derive th egreatest amount of satisfaction and pleas-ure. Members of Arts ' 24, we expect grea tthings of you. By your numbers and un-spoiled enthusiasm, you have the power t oput new strength and vitality' into thewhole student body and to make this ses-sion the most profitable of our existenceas a Provincial University . Will you do

it ?

THANKS,

EVERYONE

We were sincerely glad t o

have you on Saturday last—

noise and all .

And we regret we do no t

have seats enough to accom-

modate the whole studen t

body .

WHEN "GREEN STOCKINGS "TOURED THE OKANAGAN

The scene opens at the C.P.R. station ,one Sunday night last May . Outside th ePullman, the church bells are ringin gpeople to evening service ; inside, bedlamreigns . Valises, coats, hats, professor sand chaperone are all piled in one cor-ner; while from the open window svarious pairs of wriggling legs are endea-voring to keep their excited, yelling own-ers at least partially attached to the train .When, at length, the last adieux hav ebeen said, and Vancouver left behind, or -der, but not peace, begins to take th eplace of chaos . It is discovered that Dr .Sedgewick is also on board—an excus efor more noise .

Kamloops greeted us sleepily at 6o' clock the next morning. A livelier wel-come was given Bert Scott, on rising, b yan irate old gentleman, who insisted o nblaming the pains of his lumbago to th eexquisite midnight serenade so thought -fully rendered the passengers by seve npairs of healthy male lungs, instead of t othe rough jolting of the sleeping car ,which was, of course, the real cause .

When, after dancing until 1 o'cloc kMonday night, 7 a .m. Tuesday mornin gsaw us awaiting the train for Vernon ,some of us wondered if lumbago was in-fectious, or merely the gentle tempera-ture that goes with it .

Vernon and Kelowna met us with ope narms and magnificent hospitality. TheCountry Club at Vernon and the ne wAquatic Club rooms of Kelowna weremuch admired and enjoyed .

The sail up the Okanagan Lake wasone never to be forgotten . Neither wa sthe mock boxing match staged, im-promptu, by Father Faraday and "Fish-er, mum, think o worms, " on the deckof the "Sicamouse ." Our sympathy wa sentirely with the latter, for truly "MassaLawd" was very insulting ; nevertheless ,we were glad to see the fierce combatend as tenderly as it did . Indeed, thetouching farewell with which the tw ochampions bid each other adieu move dus to tears, although we must say wethought the last embrace rather too re -sounding for two such practised youn ggentlemen .

Penticton remains forever pictured inour minds as a mixture of ice-creamsodas, charming auburn-haired youngladies, and Chinamen . Will we ever for -get the round, fat face and frightene deyes of one paralyzed Oriental as he be -held a mob of yelling, excited lunatic srush into his highly respectable cafe on eevening near midnight and take posses-sion ?

One other precious memory remains t ous of that never-to-be-forgotten tour . Itwas on the train, coming home, that th ewriter, happening to glance up from amagazine, beheld Prof . Wood, a coquet-tish maiden ' s hat placed rakishly over oneeye, simpering and smiling foolishly (ala Freshette), while Art Lord boldly at -tempted to "vamp" him, making hideou sgrimaces in a vain attempt to mimic Wal-lie Reid in a "fade-out . "

As Phyllis remarked, "This was th elast straw that broke the worm's back . "As I returned to my magazine, I though tthat perhaps it was just as well, for thesake of the far-famed dignity of som epeople, that the trip was so soon to com eto an end .

ALMA MATER ELECTIO N

Upon the withdrawal of the nominationof A. M. Hurst for Treasurer of the Stu -dents' Council, W . O. Banfield, Science22, has been elected by acclamation . Thenew member of the Council was formerlyon the executive of the Science Under -graduate Society.

C . P. Leckie, Agriculture '21, has beenelected to fill the vacancy on the Counci lcaused by the resignation of E . Clarkefrom the presidency of the AgricultureUndergraduate Society . Last year "Dick"was Treasurer of the Council, and shoul dfeel very much at home in the presenceof that august body .

WRITE THAT LETTE R

Next week the "Ubyssey" hopes tocontinue the correspondence column a sin previous years . Help to make it snap-py and interesting . Send us your firs tletter to-day .

BY THE WAY !

President Klinck visited " Bill" Sutcliff eat Howard last spring and hobnobbedabout in regular student fashion. Accord-ing to "Bill, " the Harvard fellows who metDr . Klinck were greatly impressed wit hhis pleasant, jovial manner and strong per-sonality.

At last the "Ubyssey" has found a rea lhome. Last year's council room is soconvenient that we almost feel like issuingthis sheet every day .

If the initiators could only have found a" Sun " reporter Saturday Evening—oh ,well, we hate to think of what "might hav ebeen ."

Speaking of turning the hands of pro-gress back makes us think of the decisionof our Provincial Government to chargestudent fees this session.

Freshmen keep your eyes on the notic eboards . There is sure to be somethingthere to interest you. Be on the alert andup-to-the-minute all the time .

THE LIBRARY AND THEREADING-ROO M

A Personal Word from the LibrarianIt is a fact not generally known tha t

ours is a larger book collection than i sowned by molt Canadian universities . I tis more than twice as large as either tha tof Alberta, of Saskatchewan, of Manito-ba . It is considerably larger than the li-braries of such old and honored institu-tions as Acadia, McMasfer and Moun tAllison. Indeed, in the whole Dominio nit is exceeded in volume-total only b yMcGill, Toronto, Laval, Queen's an dWestern. The 35,000 volumes, wit hnecessary working equipment, represen tan outlay of nearly $100,000, and, withthe rapid increases in book prices durin gthe past five years, perhaps could no tbe replaced for well nigh twice that sum .

While we can congratulate ourselves

on a good and growing book collection ,the annually increasing student body pre-sents problems that every session In -crease in difficulty, and for which no sat-isfactory solution is possible while theUniversity is housed as at present . Thisyear between 900 and 950 degree cours estudents are enrolled—and the accommo-dation in the reading-room is 102! Thetotal registration last year was 1,320 .Study facilities in most universities rangefrom 25 to 40 per cent . of the total regis-tration . On this basis we should havereading table room for at least 350 stu-dents .

Inadequate as is the seating capacity ,the circumstances are worse even tha nthey appear . Students are crowded, el-bow to elbow, six to a table ; the workingspace for each being only two feet inwidth and eighteen inches in depth ; anopen Britannica and a note book cove rmore space than is available for one stu-dent . The aisles between tables should

be at least twice as broad, while thos ebetween the chairs and wall stacks hard-ly permit a person to stoop to the lowe rshelves . One has almost always to stan dto consult the periodicals in the magazineracks—"dog-kennels, " as they are not in -aptly named ; while the main catalogue i scrowded into a corner, flanked by the"Pooles" and the "Readers' Guides," sothat three or four persons consultin gthere at once make satisfactory wor kdifficult, while half-a-dozen render it im-possible .

These are the reading-room condition swith which this session every student is ,or will be, familiar . These condition scannot be improved .

But while conditions are admittedl ydifficult, they can be made endurable . In-conveniences can he minimized by cheer-ful acceptance of facts, by considerationfor others, by co-operation. Though ,without question, "cursed propinquity"promotes unnecessary conversation, the

tradition of silence that prevails in ever ywell-regulated reading-room can be at-tached in our own . All that is needed t oaccomplish this is a personal resolutio non the part of each individual student .

If any student has an imperative inne rurge that makes necessary immediatesettlement of some matter, are there nothalls, and corridors, and common rooms,that can be used for the purpose? An dif every student, on leaving a study ta-ble, moves his chair beneath it, progres sdown the aisles would still be possible .Sometimes, when the gong sounds an dfifty or sixty students move to lecture -rooms, it takes several minutes ' work tomake any semblance of a pathway dow nthe room. And if, after use, other stu-dents return Reserved or Referencebooks to their proper positions on th eshelves, you will be able to find the mmuch more readily than if you had t omove, or edge between, chairs, an dsearch for them over six or ten tables ,disturbing twenty or fifty other student sin the process .

These and similar matters can be, an dare, covered by reading-room regula-tions . But I would like to suggest amuch more excellent way . This session ,let us try to do whatever is necessary ,not because of law, or rule, or regulation ,but because we are impelled thereto b ycourtesy for others, and by a spirit ofco-operation . Let us "play the game, "and develop an "esprit de corps" for stud yperiods in the reading-room that wil lmake formal discipline something wholl ysuperfluous. Every true democrat ca nmove with perfect freedom within th elimits of any law he fully approves .While any ingenious student can "beat 'almost any system of regulation, non ecan evade his own personal ethical code .Conduct is always the mere manifesta-tion of outlook, of attitude of mind . Lif ein a university, as elsewhere, is largely aseries of adjustments of personal rela-tions . On the temper and spirit withwhich we meet, and deal with, incon-veniences and difficulties, such as ar eunavoidable in the reading-room, wil llargely depend whatever of satisfactio nor otherwise the work of the session wil lbring to the student body, and to th elibrary staff.

All members of the library staff wil lendeavor to give to students assistanc eand service, and so, by mutual considera-tion and helpfulness, the session of 1920 -1921 may be the most pleasant and th emost successful in the history of ou ryoung University .

ALMA MATER

• The first general meeting of the Alm aMater Society was held on Monday, Octo-ber 4th, when Mr . Art Lord delivered th eaddress of welcome to the newcomers . Heoutlined the purpose and organization o fthe society for the benefit of the freshmen ,and laid emphasis on the necessity of ob-serving several by-laws pertaining t osmoking, gambling and kindred crimes .

Thi sextra assessment was proposed, and afte rit had been changed to include even themover, it was seconded by Mr. Les Four-nier Arts '21 . The motion carried by alarge majority .

An unconventional mode of introduct i o nwas used at the reception . All the youn gladies were tagged with a ticket hearin gtheir names and years, and this informa lmethod proved very successful . A buffe tsupper was served .

"BIG EATS" AT THE "Y "

Does "Alf" Rive like pumpkin pie ?Well, you should have seen him at the"get-together " supper which the Univer-sity V . M .C .A. held for out-of-town fresh -men last Wednesday evening. Severa lshort talks, of rather a happy nature ,were interspersed with i "Clementine, ""Riding Down from Bangor," and othe rsacred ditties . "Ted" Johnston preside dover t' :e throng, while Dr . Todd, Honor-ary President, told the fellows of the put -pose of the "Y, " and explained the posi-tion which it occupied in College life .Rive and Webster orated upon the mys-teries surrounding their special interest s

the Literary Department and the Pub -'ications Board, respectively . "Jimmie"Mitchell sang the praises of the Musica lSociety, and Roy Vollum unfolded th esecrets of the Chemistry Society . Th eFarmers ' Party was represented by"Ernie " Clarke, who voiced the man yvirtues of his comrades. But when theprincipals had reached the end of thei rtether, the real fun began . Every fellowat the table was responsible for intro-ducing the person sitting next to him o nthe left, and, in truth, it is a pity that th eeditor of "Life ' was not present . Inspite of all these distractions . the fresh -men were made familiar with the variou sdepartments of University activity, an dwere. incidentally, infected with the spiri tof good-fellowship and student loyalt ywhich pervaded the meeting .

FRICASSED FICTION

GOSHANGERBy DARNOLD PENNETT

Edwig Goshanger was polishing hi sboots . T-le applied the blacking with asmall brush, inserting it with meticulou scare along the crack where the sole join sthe upper . He twisted himself violentl yto make sure the backs of the heels wer ecovered . Then he brought the surfac eto a polish by means of a larger brush ,finishing off with a velvet pad . Finally ,he stood up, grunted, and wiped his fin-gers on his trousers.

For the first time in his life he was t opay a social visit, so he put on his yello wnecktie with blue roses on it . Edwig was5 feet 2/ inches tall and weighed 10 3pounds .

When ushered into the Orfuls' parlor ,he became pale green from terror an dturned his toes inward . The seventee nchildren of the Orfuls were variously en -

. gaged in playing on the trombone, mixin gcocktails, and arguing on theology. Itwas the happiest family gathering Edwi ghad witnessed . He was introduced to avisitor, Miss Crosseyes . With a slightdeclension of her head, she turned he rback on him . She was the ugliest crea-ture he had ever seen ; her shaggy eye-brows overhung strong spectacles ; shehad an indubitable moustache, and largeflat feet .

II .At dinner, while Edwig was meticu-

lously raising four peas upon his knife,Mr . Orful said, "The rain was heavy to -

.day .""That was an unexpected storm las t

Tuesday, ' Edwig replied . His kneesknocked together with a thrill of joy tha the should converse so easily with a gen-tleman of leisure.

"The farmers profit by this weather . "Edwig was inspired to say, "It's an il l

wind that blows nobody good . ""Have a cocktail? " remarked Mr . Or -

fu' . Edwig did. It was his first .

III .On his way home, staggering slightly ,

he passed along the Orfuls' wall . Afigure suddenly scrambled over, and tw oeyes b'.azed green in the darkness . Eve nas he dodged, he knew instinctively i twas Miss Crosseyes. She seized him b ythe collar . "You have solved my soul ' sproblem," she grated .

" H—how? ""By that wonderful phrase about a n

ill wind. You are the greatest man Ihave known. '

She shook him violently ; then graspe da branch of a tree, and, with a statel ygesture, swung herself over the wall .

Edwig scratched his head. Then wit hmeticulous steps he avoided a puddle .

"She ' s taken a fanshy to me, " he mur-mured ; "she musht be off her chump . "

"CROSSING THE GREAT DIVIDE "(Continued from Page 1 )

From here the procession formed up i nfours and marched to Fourth Avenu ecorner, where more yells were given .Then in twos they led across the bridgeto the down-town section of the city ,where yells were given at the corner o fDavie and Robson Streets . The Vancou-ver Hotel was favored with a visit from

En route there was plenty of entertain-ment along the side lines . The trafficwas stopped for blocks, and, judging bythe smiles that some of those affected di dnot have, the 1920 initiation was at leas tnoticed by others than the University stu-dents .
