ce beau monde
By WANDA MAYFIELD
Centipedes to the front! There is such a varjety.of in-
teresting shades this fall that we wish we could wear them
all at once and immediately. The smartest toes of the
campus will be treading forth
oaturaay anernoon at the Trinity game and In the .bleach-
ers there will be many an anxious foot hoping In glee for
the Wildcat team. The footwear prominent in Spectator
sports features low heels "flats" with high in-front effect
and bows. A Britishy brogue of .marrona brown leather
with calf trim Is a topnotcherT

harmony-conscious other smart

but chic accents to any d row-up

Sandals with tall square heels
and wldo straps are being shown

"Born amid the crash of arriving
trunks and the scratching of multitudi-
nous pens on official blanks was an en-
tity known as the Class of 1940" reports
a current issue of Time Magazine. "Its
300000 members) according to a nation-
al Burvey made at University of Illinois
are better nourished nnd better develop-
ed than their predecessors 87 per cent?
of them being in 'good.to-excellent phy-
sical shape.' Its New England members
according to tho Journal of the Ameri-
can Medical Association are the tallest
group of human beings in the world
178.03 centimeters (circa 5 feet 10 in.).
First official act of the Class of 1040 as
it gathered in its new colleges was to
hear addresses of welcome and counsel
from its new presidents Newsworthy
soundoffs.
"At Columbia as President Nicholas
Murray Butler's academic procession
made its solemn way across the Morn-
ingside campus a dozen striking mem-
bers of the Brotherhood of Painters
Decorators and Paperhangers armed
with placards shrieking that COLUM-
BjlA IS UNFAIR TO THE PAINTERS'
UNION wheeled impudently into the
rear of the procession followed it to Mc-
Millin Academic Theatre where they
stayed outside to picket. . .
"Cried orderly Nicholas Murray But-
ler: "The world of today . . . is not happy.
It is not contented. It is not prtMperous
.'. . In Seattle some 650 working people
who are under contract to carry on their
daily employment (at Publisher William
Randolph Hearst's Post-ffntelligencer)
and who are anxious to do so are kept
in idleness for days by the disorderly
and lawless force of disturbers of the
peace of whom the city the county and
the State authorities are in such terror
that nothing whatever is done by any
one of these to restore and to preserve
order . . ' r i
"At Wesleyan University (Middle-
town Conn.) President James Lukens
McConnaughy took a less friendly view
of Publisher Hearst. Declared he:
'Leaders like Governor "Curley (of Mass-
achusetts) . and publicists like Mr.
Hearst are today the greatest menaces
to freedom in the academic world . '.t .
The biggest threat to such freedom is
bigotry unfairly endeavoring to impose
our own views on others and denying to
those who differ from us honesty and
sincerity.'
"At New York UniversItjA the na-
tian's biggest enrollment: (42850) Har-
ry Woodburn Chase assured freshmen
thaf'in America youth is still reasonably
free and can look! forward to some meas-
ure of opportunity.'
"In darker mood at University of Chi-
cago youthful President Robert Maynard
Hutchins gloomed: 'The world seems to
be xHi'shing toward' the destruction of lib-
erty of conscience of worship of speech

LAB. TRAGEDY
Hereby is tho Student Associa-
tion and faculty ot Aoliene
Christian College summoned to
act aa Jurors In me case ot King J
Snake vs. Baby Snake.
The Grand Jury rendered King
Snake guilty of the premeditated
murder of Sniffle Snake In cold
blood fin Saturday October 9
1930. This decision was given
following the testimony of Miss
Eldhla jDeano (Walker Ltness
of the crime.
Miss Walker's testimony that
King Snake dollberatoly mangled!
nnd devoured tho hody.of the
helpless Sniffle 'snake "was suf-
ficient to p'aco King Snake in
immediate incarceration. It al-
so gave him no hope for plead-
ing self-defense.

ther who wanted his boy to be a

great lengths for an education.

No thoy're not from China Aus-

about 30 miles from the campus
