Freshman ClassHolds VespersOne of the most outstanding

Class Vespers held this year wapresented by the Freshman ClasSunday afternoon.

The Southwestern Singers, under the able direction of Dr. Tuthill and assisted by an ensembleof strings composed of Faculty an(students, made up the major partof the program.

The presentation of Bach's Cantata No. 4-"Christ Lay By DeathEnshrouded", the principle musicaoffering, was no doubt the besquality of music that Southwestern has been previleged to healthis year.

The number is very difficult irarrangement and scale, and theuunsual rendition which the Sing.ers offered establishes them as araccomplished group. Much creditmust go to Dr. Tuthill whose ableinstruction has developed the groutinto finished choral artists.

Rev. Taylor addressed the con.gregation on a theme entitled"And when they had sung a Hymrthey went" from the book of Matt-hews in adherence to the musicaltheme.

BACKSLAPPINGREACHES CLIMAX

Have you suddenly become some-one of importance? Do people of-fer to buy you cokes in the book-store, give you new bridge cards,offer to write your Man themes,or go along on a blind date? Theydo!

You know you're being fooled.You're still as obnoxious as ever.You still rate like a flat tire andare as unpopular as Life Buoysoap.

But your vote counts as muchas Betty Bouton's in Friday'selection. So, so much for your pop-ularity.

Tomorrow you're going to thepolls to choose your officers forthe coming year, yes, tomorrowyou're King for a day.

Election booths will open at9:00 in the book store. You mayeither line up outside the dininghall and reap your share of thefree cigarettes or you may votepromptly and get it over with.

A word of warning to the newstudents who have not participatedin the student elections.

When approaching the ballotbox be firm in your intentions.Walk right up to the man in chargeand say, "A ballot, please!" Yousee, if you seem undecided aboutthe procedure there are dozens ofcampaign stooges standing-aroundthe ballot box just waiting for anovice like yourself. The firstthing you're conscious of is thatmaybe six or nine of these peoplehave you in custody giving you theer-ah, showing you how to fillout your ticket. This can be prettydangerous.

When you have secured your bal-lot be firm also in marking it.Don't hesitate for a minute, justmark it confidently as if you knewall the candidates. Once you hesi-tate there are dozens of campaignstooges standing around the bal-lot box just waiting for a novicelike yourself. The first thing you'reconscious of is that maybe six ornine of these people have you incustody giving you the er-ah,showing you how to fill out yourballot. This can be pretty danger-ous.

The Red and Black tickets havethe benefit of past experience ofpast years and are pulling outsome new tricks this year. Thesigns you see announcing the var-ious candidates are but expressions,even in a small way, of the fun-damentals of democracy which weenjoy today.

This is your opportunity to startthe changes you've been gripingabout all year. Tomorrow you canselect your choice or the man'schoice who is sitting beside you.Vote Red! Vote Black! But, indeed,VOTE!

Our ChoirThe Southwestern Singers are no doubt the best rep-

resentative group of our College that exists today. Theyhave been acclaimed an accomplished choir on bothtours which they have made during the past year.

A number of students have asked this Editor whythe Choir has never given a concert at the College, enablingSouthwestern students to hear the Singers. Only one suchconcert has been held in Memphis, that being held in Good-wyn Institute, a hall unknown to most students, and other-wise alien to non-Memphis residents.

The SOU'WESTER would like to request,' in behalf ofthe Student Body, that Dr. Tuthill take in considerationsuch a concert given for students and their friends. We be-lieve that such a program would be well attended and cer-tainly appreciated.

In considering the Choir, Dr. Tuthill must certainlybe commended on the excellence of the performances thisyear. Their outstanding achievements reflect his able di-rection and patience.

Memo To New OfficersThere is much to-do this week concerning the Student

Elections in which you will cast your ballots tomorrow. Agreat deal of time has been devoted to the campaigns beingwaged very cleverly and successfully by both Red andBlack Tickets. Let us hope that the victors in the electiontomorrow will not forget the importance which has beenplaced upon these offices when these candidates take theirseats next year. Every office represents some degree ofresponsibility, and it is hoped that the honor which youwill bestow upon these candidates tomorrow will not beoverlooked as has been done in many instances this schoolyear.

The Student Body offices are very important. A greatpart of the student policies will be formed or guided bythese Officers. It is most necessary that these people keepthis firmly in mind throughout the coming year.

I1 e MI IIN L Y INxDue to present world conditions, courses in Political Science

are being emphasized for their extreme importance in the shaping

of the new world citizen. Southwestern students majoring in Political

Science will be glad to know of the forthcoming issue published by the

underground press of the Black Ticket, entitled "Abridged Ambidex-

trous Aids to Amacker's Adumbrations." The following excerpts well

indicate the simple and direct method that this volume uses in ex-

plaining difficult abstractions and terminologies of these courses.

ADMINISTRATION: An ingenious abstraction in politics, de-

signed to receive the kicks and cuffs due to the president.

ADMONITION: Gentle reproof from one nation to another nation,

as with a meat-axe. Friendly warning.

APPEAL: In law, to put the dice into the box for another throw.

BATTLE: A method of untying with the teeth a political knot

that would not yield to the tongue.

COMPROMISE: Such an adjustment of conflicting interests as

gives each adversary the satisfaction of thinking he has got what he

ought not to have, and is deprived of nothing except what was justly

his due.CONGRESS: A body of men who meet to repeal laws.

CONSUL: In American politics, a person who having failed to

secure an office from the people is given one by the Administration

on condition that he leave the country.

CONTROVERSY: A battle in which spittle or ink replaces the

injurious cannon-ball and the inconsiderate bayonet.

DELIBERATION: The act of examining one's bread to determine

which side it is buttered on.

DIPLOMACY: The patrirotic art of lying for one's country.

HISTORIANS, POLITICAL SCIENTISTS, NITIST CLUB MEMBERS,

WOOLSEY AND EVANS: Broad gauge gossips.PATRIOT: One to whom the interests of a part seem superior

to the interests of the whole. The dupe of statesmen and the tool of

conquerors.

PEACE: In international affairs, a period of cheating betweentwo periods of fighting.

POLITICIAN: An eel in the fundamental mud upon which the

superstructure of organized society is reared. When he wriggles

he mistakes the agitation of his tail for the trembling of the edifice.

As compared with the statesman, he suffers the disadvantage of

being alive.

PRESIDENCY: The greased pig in the field game of American

politics.

QUORUM: a sufficient number of members of a deliberative

body to have their own way and their own way of having it. In

the United States Senate a quorum consists of the chairman of the

Committee on Finance and a messenger from the White House; in

the House of Representatives, of the Speaker and a quart of Old

Overholt rye.

RIGHT: A nation's legitimate authority to be, to do, to have;

as the right to be a republic, the right to do one's neighbor, the

right to have measles, and the like.

SENATE: A body of elderly gentlemen charged with high duties

and misdemeanors.

COMMONWEALTH: An administrative entity operated by an

incalculable multitude of political parasites, logically active but for-

tuitously efficient.This commonwealth's capitol's corridors view,

So thronged with a hungry and indolent crew

Of clerks, pages, porters, and all attaches

Whom rascals appoint and the populace pays

That a rat cannot slip through the thicket of shins

Nor hear its own shriek for the noise of their chins.

On clerks and on pages, and porters, and all,

Misfortune attend and disaster befall!

May life be to them a succession of hurts;

May fleas by the bushel inhabit their shirts;May aches and diseases encamp in their bones,

Their lungs full of tubercles, bladders of stones;

May microbes, bacilli, their tissues infest,And tapeworms securely their bowels digest;

May corn-cobs be snared without hope in their hair,

And frequent impalement their pleasure impair.

Disturbed be their dreams by the awful discourse

Of audible sofas sepulchrally hoarse,

By chairs acrobatic and wavering floors-

The mattress that kicks and the pillow that snores!

Sons of iniquity, cradled in sin!Your criminal ranks may the death angel thin,

Avenging the friend whom I couldn't worm in.

r Musical NotesBy James K. Schmidt

Monday evening one of South-western's most talented singers,Mary Frances McDearman, sangto an enthusiastic audience at the

Memphis College of Music. Andseldom before has the musicschool's first floor been mordcrowded with eager listeners, flow-ers, and acclaim for a charmingperformance.

Miss McDearman's program wasunusually well chosen both for herown voice and the ear of the au-dience, for that threat of boredom

which is ever nearby at such af-fairs did not intrude at any pointin her series of expressive andgracefully sung selections. FromMozart and Schumann, living inother centuries, to Herbert Sum-merfield and Dr. Tuthill right ather elbow, came music which MissMcDearman rendered in a clearand well-controled soprano voice.

Among the most pleasing num-bers was a group of French songs

in which the delicate melodies ofBernard were very well done in-deed. Also Brahms' lyric "Nachti-

rgall" and the gayer "VergeblichesStaendchen" were rewarded with

particularly lengthy applause. Theprogram's operatic contributionswere from La Traviata, the famil-iar and tuneful Sempre Libera be-

ing always a favorite.

Of personal as well as musical

interest was a song by Dr. Tut-hill, director of the College of Mu-sic. His "South Wind", a deep,shadowy piece, Mary Frances Mc-Dearman sang with authoritative(dignity, and so appreciative wasits composer that he congratulatedher then and there..Also HerbertSummerfield, the prominent Mem-phian who accompanied her, wasrepresented by his "Love's Lan-

tern", a song that was appealingto all in its melody and sentiment.Concluding the program Cottenet's"Red, Red Rose" rated near thetop for its ingratiatingly liltingfreshness, and Miss McDearman

showed that she could sing it with

lovely brightness and fine control.

This was the program's end, but

its finish brought lengthy applausewhich demanded bow upon bow

from the soloist and finally an en-core, the song everybody likes,

G e r s hwin' s "Summertime." Ofcourse the evening was complete.

This reporter is hardly qualifiedto make a technical appraisal ofanyone's voice; but better than

mere singing or piano playing or

violin playing, no matter how per-fect, he likes music. And Monday

evening he was able to hear it.

Shea AttendsY Convention

Betty Shea, the newly electedpresident of the Y. W. C. A., rep-resented Southwestern at the Ten-nessee State Leadership Conven-

tion, which was held on April 19that Scarrit College in Nashville.Reports were made on the ac-tivities of the Y. W. C. A. Chap-ters at the various colleges whichsent delegates.

Shut Up And LetMe TalkMY FRIENDS AND I'M SORRY

Several years ago I had pub-

lished (free) an article entitled"The Man Who Couldn't See Six."

It waws about an unfortunate fel-

low who could see all twenty-six

letters of the alphabet, and nineof the numerals, but to whom a

"6" appeared merely as a blankspot on the paper.

A few months afterward in an..

other bit of undying prose, I con-cerned myself with a gentlemanwho had decided that breathing

was a great waste of time and

energy, and accordingly stopped.

(With, needless to say, disastrousresults.)

These characters, however, al-

though admittedly not quite intactmentally, would rate a niche in

the Hall of Fame when compared

with some I have met since.

Do you have a friend who eats

adhesive tape? Or one who is al-

lergic to air?Are you acquainted with some-

one who thinks he is a book, and

renews himself at the library everytwo weeks?

I am, and I don'tlike it.

I once knew a young lady who

fell in love with a banana peel.

(She was an attractive, charming,

half-witted little thing, and later

married a Hindu sun-priest. I un-

derstand they are very happy to-gether.)

The rather touching affaire

d'amour occurred one evening as

we were driving back from the

theater. I had purhased a banana

for her supper (they are extremely

filling), and she had consumed it

with great evidences of satisfac-

tion. But instead of discarding the

peel, she only sat there beside me

cooing softly to it. Occasionally she

would heave a gentle sigh. It de-

veloped that she had become quite

infatuated with the dejected look-

ing thing, and I was able only with

the strongest of argument to per-

suade her to part with it. (I have

since learned that she could fall

in love with anything. And did.)

That, then, besides being a def-

inite case for the nearest psychia-

trist, is a perfect example of the

type of people I am constantly

finding myself associated with.

(A sentence is never ended with a

preposition). I no sooner think

that I have at last met a some-

where-normal person than the per-

son lets go with some fast one like

that. It is not a little disconcert-

ing.

My real trouble, of course, is that

I cannot understand why it has to

happen to me. Why couldn't such

oddities be friends of your, or

friends of someone else, or, better

yet, nobody's friends at all? Why

so irresistably attracted to me?

(If that was you who mumbledsomething about "birds of a feath-

er," you can just stop reading this

column right now.)

You are going to stop readingit anyhow, because I'm not going

to write any more. Some of thosefriends under discussion might see

this and never speak to me again.If they can read English.

Lynx ShowsIn Kansas Meet

With the encouragement of hav-ing placed in two previous na-tional relay meets, the sprint med-ley team and the mile relay teamof Southwestern track team leftMemphis Friday night to partici-pate in the Kansas Relays at Law-rence, Kansas on the followingSaturday afternoon, April 19th.

Arriving in Lawrence at 1 p.m.and the first race scheduled for

3:05, the Lynx barriers were dis-heartened by the cold and the driz-zling rain that prevailed. This dis-heartenment changed to utter dis-

may when they arrived at the

stadium. The track had lost all

semblance of its former self andlay under a dirty mixture of waterand cinders.

But nevertheless, when the firstevent was over, Southwestern'ssprint medley team looking likedrowned puppies, and spatteredwith mud, held tightly in theirhand the third place medals award-ed in competition against the topgroup of college relay teams in

the entire country.Two hours later, still wet and

Jones DiscoveredIn Field Meet

Robert W. Jones, that tall, spec-tacled lad who looks like the scient-ists he aims to emulate, is thediscovery of the season on thetrack team. Persuaded by severalof the track team, Jones, who hadnever run before, came out forthe two mile.

He looked like a perfect distanceman with his long, powerful legs.But Jones proved a total flop inthe two mile, and like-wise in themile. As he tried the 880 yard runhe began to dispair, along withthe rest of the team. He was cutout of the team.

His attempt at the 440 yardsdash looked a little better, andfinally in a practice dash he clip-ped the 100 yard dash off in 10.2seconds. The following Saturdayagainst Vanderbilt Jones, who re-minds one of a freight train ashe plants his size 12's on the track,came up from far behind in the220 yard dash to take second placein the event, and he topped it offwith a fine 440 on the mile relayteam.

More power to you, Jones, andwhere can we find more like you.

certain departments, however, spik-ed the Lynx' hopes.

Jimmy Webb, a football star,was the outstanding man for Van-derbilt, placing first in the broadjump, the high jump, and the shotput.

The Southwestern mile relayteam presented the best event ofthe day, even though it was notpressed in its race.
