versity Summer School, which opened
Thursday, June Is has surpassed all
previous sessions. The enrolment on
the last day of registration was 729,
within two of the total for the whole
of last year. The enrolment passed
the 800 mark before Sunday, thus max

1000 students will be enrolled before
the summer is over. All available dor
mitories are full, and the University is
taxed to accommodate all who come. It
is hard to find sufficient number of

In the absence Of President Graham,
Dean Marvin H. Stacy welcomed the
summer students to the University at
the formal opening on Friday. He de-
clared that the summer students were
here by right of citizenship, right OF
hospitality, and right Of growth-the

should by all means exercise. "There

The cabinet today may decide on
whether to reply formally to Car
ranza's insistent demands that the
American troops be withdrawn from
Mexico. Eliseo Arredondo, one every
trip he has made to the state depart
ment, has repeated this demand. The
only answer he was able to obtain
from the state department was that
the question would be held in abey-
ance until the Scott Obregon confer
enees ended. Now, 1t is thought. this
government may decide that it is
necessary to formally recognize Car
ranza's request. 1t is practically ad-
mitted in official circles that the de-
nand will be refused, though it is un-
derstood the refusal will be so worded
that the matter will be left open for
further discussion.

WALTZ OR NOT WALTZ is NOW
THE QUESTION.

To waltz or not to waltz is the
question that has been troubling the
members of the American Society of
Professors of Dancing who were in
convention in New York to determine
the status of dance steps for the COM
ing season.
It will never come into favor again,
this dreamy old cadence of romantic
feet, some of the dancing masters say,
while others predict its instant popu-
larity when the stamp of approval of
the organization is set upon it.
However, out of the bloody trench
es of Europe has come the military
influence and military steps promise
to predominant this winters dances
the conventioners have finally agreed.

WORK TO DO.

There are labors to be wrought,
sternly wrought,
There are battles to be fought, brave
ly fought,
There are lessons to be learned,
There are laurels to be earned,
There are triunphs to be sought,
nobly sought.
There are cries that should be heard,
quickly heard,
There are hearts that should be
cheered, kindly cheered,
There's distress to be relieved.
There is good to be achieved,
There's a goal that must be neared,
surely neared.
There are mercies to be shown, wise
ly shown,
There are seeds that must be sown,
widely sown,
There are truth to be impressed,
There are wrongs to be redressed,
There are burdens to be borne, glad
~ borne.
There is kindness to be done, often
done,
There are pitfalls we must shun, ever
shun,
There are ills to be injured,
There are rights to be secured,
There are races to be run, swiftly
There is ever work to do, real work
too,
There is work for me to do-and fol
you,
There are minutes to be saved,
There are perils to be braved-
And always we must be true
through and through.
