WITH 98% of its members either in Florida or deeply involved with revenue regulations overlooked by Al Capone, the Chicago Association has, on the surface, bogged through a dull month. However, the inner wheels have turned, and big events are in the offing.

First comes the Annual Banquet on March 11, with President Hopkins dominating an all-star cast in this key event of the season.

The Musical Clubs will perform at the Drake Hotel on April 2. To date, no one has gone on record to the effect that he will not attend. Some lines are out to obtain Hanover talent on a radio program from Chicago. Brothers Obermeyer '23, Goodwillie '31, Critchell '33 and Kreer '35 are arranging to have the Clubs and an audience together at one definite time and place, with everything set now except a definite audience. A rumor is gathering currency and momentum about police investigating some alumni who hope to equal their loud performance of last year, when the Glee Club assisted these firemen in a spirited final liurnber; apparently, neighbors object to vocal training after midnight.

The big weekly luncheon for April is set on the 6, at Mandel's Green Room, with Professor Leon Richardson, chemist and noted Dartmouth historian, as guest speaker.

Politics reared its ugly head. The nominating committee has composed a full slate of candidates for Association offices, and the thing is a left-right affair defying party lines. At this writing, the opposition is unknown and probably disorganized, though one candidate has been pressed to promise drinks for the support of a cabal of locker-room hecklers.
