Show '•"msm™ten of our live and loyal Japanese students then staged an exhibition that was a corker. Followed the blind race by the same group; then additional fencing.After the Varsity trimmed a pretentious alumni baseball nine to the ragtime of 1 7 to 2, we felt ready for a transfer of activity. In a transformed gym, now spic and span with every trace of the luncheon banished, we danced the afternoon away.That this is a fond retrospection does not free us from the bond of speaking the truth. Our annual vaudeville of this evening was inferior in preparation and presentation. However, a much greater blemish than the careless fumbling of this harmless bit of nonsense might easily be sustained by a "U" day, so lusty and exhilarating in all other respects. Those of us who will be here next year may look forward to improvement. Those who are leaving can look back upon this as the greatest of all "U" days to date."U" DAY COURT.-On April 18th, student court, presided over by Hamilton Gardner as judge, convened to mete out punishment to delinquents, pikers and barnacles who failed to report at the "U" for work on "U" day.Twenty-six charges were preferred by the student body. In ten of the cases the students had left school, three of the accused were upper classmen, some offenders gave satisfactory excuses, and others were given first, second and third degree sentences. In the case of Victor Anderson, the first defendant, the jury, Lon Romney, Warren Stratton, Melvin Naylor, Jack Sullivan, Howard Barker and Edwin Spencer, returned a verdict of not guilty. Roy Mclntyre received a third degree sentence, the penalty of which was the wearing for one week of a "piker" sign. Since he was in the police court on "U" day Mclntyre escaped a heavier sentence. After the session of the court, Dahlquist suffered a ducking, Roe an eardeep immersion, and Higgins, the loss of his hair; Scott who had defied the court by not appearing also lost his locks. L. C. Cahoon, J. Jacobson, and C. B. Snow are the remaining criminals to be sheared when caught by the vigilance committee.-J?;v^ACr*&^~At^'S^»^~%t^*3124 |
