usurer reminiscing for this weeks senior mem oirs and probably that's part of the ■ reason tor betty's popularity and her prominence in bo many activities in the campus for two years she has held

1933 and yet she says she doesn't feel any different tlian she did in her freshman year maybe i'm not quite so noisy but i can't be sure of even that betty has formed very definite opin ions on a variety of subjects to her such subjects as religion morals and philosophy seem seem to be a personal matter which can best be determined by the leditiduul himself .,, ill __| own needs rather than something imposed upon him by someisody else similarly she feels that smoking is one's own private affair she isn't attracted by girls smoking but likes boys to smoke pipes as long as they are not too terri bly strong there are too many couples at u b why can't everybody go around with everybody else betty questions she decides that dances especially tea danc es this year were the victims of cir cumstances and ought to be boomed next year sororities and fraterni ties she has observed are too often the cause of many hard feelings too inclined to become petty and to forget one's education but they're not well enough supported college sports i love them i prob ably made more noise with the help of sally dielhild than anybody else at the football and basketball games as for relty maurer

action at recent syracuse conference we came we saw and speaking of conquest — one of the girls is still re ciqm'rating yes wo did finally start at g:_5 fri day a m to drive down here and even with the detours and solos particularly lot's all sing like the birdies sing we reached the campus of syracuse in all there were about 150 debaters representing 17 colleges from all parts of tlic slate there after a massed open ing meeting at which dr win e mosh er spoke and at which the general chair man mr welch of hamilton was elect i ed the group being human adjourned in quest of food and what a rush luncheon was taken in blocun 1 cafe teria then at the hour of 2 or there abouts the four smaller committee meetings began fun now we know all about the agonies of congress we understand tbe committee on state liquor control almost ended in a riot the object of these small conferences was to formulate resolutions on four major questions — said resolutions to he later presented to the governor at j 30 the group again sought food — tills time under the nomer of a ban quet it was quite an informal and gay affair followed by ten sentences clever speeches made by a represntatlve of each college thereafter it was neces sary for two of the committees to re open their sessions and continue to for mulate their plans some were busy writing up rcqmrts to be presented next day and others were just busy form als shows clubs aud sneakies which by the way are even worse than those around here seemed to have provided good entertainment later that night — that is if one can draw any conclusions from the dragged-thru-the-knot-hole appearance of all when the 0 a.m gen eral conference met at 10 saturday morning the majority report on coun ty government reform was accepted without much discussion the 1st min ority report on unemployment insur ance was finally accepted providing for state employee and employer participa tion in a scheme of insurance buffalo hamilton and union were in support of a second minority report opposing unemployment the third report state liquor control caused such extensive argumentation that both reports were finally rejected the fourth report to be accepted was tthe minority report for increased state aid to local educa tion the conference formally ended at 2 o'clock that afternoon a few of us were particularly eager for more punishment — they went to the syracuse-cornell regatta what with standing hours in the hot sun on a narrow peninsula of sand and rocks jotting out into the lake almost fall ing in squinting anxiously at a few tiny mack streaks in the distance and finally learning that what we thought was the start of the race was actually the finish — everyone had a grand time that evening those who weren't dead dragged down to the show or to dinner cont on page 6 col 0 cont on page 0 col 5 l'ont oii i'uge j ctf -») cont on page 0 col 1 cont on page 3 col 1 acquaintance day souvenir issue
