out Of q potpourri Of bad parliamen-
tary rulings, motions and resolutions
at the meeting Of the freshmen class
81 the University OF California this aft
ernoon came q decision that the class
would not rush against the sophomores
on Charter day. which falls on Wed
resday. This decision was not evolved
strictly according TO Hoyle. but it was
achieved after a fashion and il will
serve its purpose
The rule Of might figured largely in
the decision. In the first place the
freshmen voted down a proposal to in
dorse the recommendation OF the class
committee that there be no rush. This
vote laid bare the fact that there is
berigerent spirit in the class, at least
lhree-fourths being in favor Of the
Rough house.
The IS per cent vote against the
adoption Of peace measures for Char
ter day ought 10 have been enough to
have settled the committees recon-
mendation forever. but it didn't. By
some inexplicable method OF reasoning
the presiding officer and class presi-
dent. ". c. Davis, ruled that the vote
was all wrong and in the midst of the
disturbance it was decided to try it all
over again.
When the recommendation came up
for q vote the second time the parti-
sans were more evenly divided, but to
avoid a second defeat the sO-called
"prOgrammers" fcrcibly threw a lot of
the rough house" element 10 their
side. in this way carrying the day. The
recommendation finally. adopted reads:
Whereas. the faculty Of the Univer-
Bity Of California has taken active steps
10 prohibit rush on Charter day even
ing and the senior and Junior classes
have upheld them in their action, be-
lieving il to be for the best interest Of
the university: be il
Resolved. That we, the undersigned
committees, representing the two IN
der classes to consider the advisa bility
Of having no Charter day rush this
year do hereby make this decision, pro
Vided the freshmen class pledges itself
20 sustain its committee: We pledge
ourselves that neither class go upon
Charter Hill on the evening Of Charter
day, 1904"
The resolution was signed by w. H.
L1DDhiAlns II. ElllDkls w DOAnlOlt
W. r. Jewell. r. p. Newcomb and B.
s. Norton, the sophomore class COM
mittee and w c. Davis, w. ]. Hanna,
J. J. Crow, L. H. Cromwell, S. J. Hume
and Charles L. Haley. These adopted
the resolutions this morning after they
had been addressed by the seniors, who
sdmOnished them that the faculty
would expel any man engaging in a
rush.
During the discussion on this resoIu-
tiOn in the class meeting ii developed
that the belligerents wanted any kind
OF rush that could be had without
endangering their scalps. Some sug-
gested that the freshmen, instead of
going upon Charter Hill, go upon Griz-
zly Peak and dare the "sophies" to
follow. In case this scheme is carried
out there will certainly be something
20 settle with the faculty, and the end
is not yet.

Married WOman's Card Club Enter
tanned By Mrs. Aver.

Thirty-seventh street offered perfect
setting for the affair. Given yester-
dav afternoon, on the eve of Lent,
there was the thought of the coming
weeks of quiet to lend it additional
charm.
The tables were arranged in the
wide entrance hall of Mrs. Ayers
home and in the drawing room, both
of which were adorned by vases of
mink carnations. 1t was a flower par
~. offering in all it's pretty favors and
card table appointments a reminder of
the approaching spring. The individ-
nal score cards, designed in the shape
nj bookmarks, each bore at the top a
watercolor sketch of flowers, and the
table cards, which afforded more
space for the artists brush, were most
beautifully decorated with larger
watercolor study of wild roses, carna-
lions. chrysanthemums and other
flowers.
The work, which was most artistic,
was done by Miss Newcomb. The in
dividual cards were tied with tiny
white bows.
In keeping with the floral idea, all
