MUSIC DEPARTMENT: Jack Halpern whose recorded radio program and published articles have pegged him in Rockefeller Center as an expert on South American music, says Dartmouth's songs are not conducive to neat drinking. They jerk, Halpern says, and the beer spills. To prove his thesis, he's written a Dartmouth song you can wave a stein to, flowing, like a Strauss waltz. It's called, Will They Singof Eleazar? It's good.

MILITARY INTELLIGENCE:
Lt. Don Tenney is in charge of 500 Marines at Norfolk, Va. Typical Tenney Day: Dictate letters to his secretary, answer two telephones, act as prosecutor on a summary court martial board, drill the troops, go for a ride in his station wagon, think about the war, have a drink with the colonel Howie Stockwell, enlisted in the National Guard at Detroit, wonders pretty frankly if he could ever bring himself to shoot anyone or slip a bayonet through a stomach.
Frank Wright is in the infantry at Camp Edwards, Mass Ensign Chet Brett of the U.S.S. Honolulu writes of a Gilbert and Sullivan career—"while the warrior on duty goes in search of beer and beauty"—running a new roadster around the banks of Wakaiki Page Smith has been drafted in Baltimore Dick Bowman is on the U.S.S.

Nineteen hundred and forty graduate students are not counting on further exemption. Most of them are signing up as of the end of this term Doc Aulman's check to the Alumni Fund, mailed from Des Moines where he works for an iron works, was dated April 2—which makes him first on our records Richard F. Babcock was number one man in his class
at Chicago Law. EDITORIAL:
Glendinning's choice as newswriter of the fund letter was a mistake which has caused your class agent, your Secretary, and the College authorities no end of worry. President Hopkins considered cancelling the appointment, finally decided to wait until public opinion and events made the move seem easier—an administrative technique at which the President is a past master. But let us build a standard in our Alumni Fund to which future classes may repair. Men will forget Glendinning. VOX POPS:
To Don Rainie: The reason I am personally not very confident of the success of the Sharon experiment, Don, is that I don't think the boys have any immediately workable objective—except for themselves. They want sincerely to do good, and they are doing good; they talk of the reality of living on the soil and of the virtues of the Vermont farmers whom one of them termed, "these humble folk." These principles are high and clean, if romantic, but as objectives for a national experiment they seem to me to be somewhat limited. I don't see why anyone should help the experiment unless they want to help these men personally; I don't see why anyone should join the experiment unless he, too, has these personal objectives, and to some extent at least that means that papa is rich and mama don't care.
To Ted Ellsworth: If I could have come out for the wedding Berry, we could have tilted back the kitchen chairs. You would have asked me to name the Illinois team of 1926 and I would have told you it had Daugherty, Lanum, Peters, and Timm in the backfield, Steinman, Nowack, Crane, Reitch, Britton, Snavely and Jolley in the line. I would have asked you to name me the scores of the Dubuque High School 1925 season, and you have missed that 0-0 moral victory over East Waterloo. It would have been good, Berry.
But anyhow, congratulations.
