...heroine will bear even more enthusing. She flashed into the movie public's eye not long ago when she showed more--more talent that is--than did the American Venus in the "American Venus." An adequately fleshed gentleman who was seated at our right, and who proclaimed himself no mean judge of feminine pulchritude, asserted more-over that she has "it," and we could see no good reason for disagreeing with him on that count. The concensus of masculine opinion, which after all is the only worth while opinion in these matters and which was garnered during our progress from...
...there were only three politicians whom the business men chose to address them. One of them was Herbert Hoover, who is, not excepting the more generally recognized Secretary of the Treasury, the chief economic policymaker of the Administration?the former mining engineer, brilliant in his business, but with no talent for the handshaking and good fellowship which go to make the ordinary run of politicians.

J. H. S. Moynahan '23 is going to do some clogging and Robert Reinhart '29, versatile Freshman performer, will also do several stunts and tricks for the amusement of his assembled class mates. Music for the Smoker will...
...disguised professionalism with its attendant evils of venality, hypocrisy, and lying. If the new league propers and maintains its program of not permitting college students upon its teams, certain changes would seem to be inevitable. Those youths gifted in the ways of football but apparently devoid of other talent who now go to college as the only means of attaining their athletic aim may henceforward be largely drawn into the more tempting and profitable professional field. College football would then slowly but surely decline into the relatively innocuous position of college baseball. In the distance one may dimly discern...
