GIRLS WORKING
HARDING FRIVOLlTY

Poughkeepsie, Oct. D. Because o.
the shortage of help in the dormi-
tories, the dining room and on the
campus, the students of Vassar Col
lege have decided to do this work
as part of their course, which was
formerly done by hired help. An
nouncement to this effect was made
at the college today, and it follows
the example set by the twelve Vas
sar students who last summer re-
NAMED at the college to work the
farm because of the extreme scar
city of farm help.
Dining Room And Kitchen
The students will hereafter take
turns at waiting on the table, doing
kitchen work, keeping the campus
clean and tidy and other such chores.
The students who do this work will
receive gymnasium credits and will
receive nc pay.
1t was also announced today that
the seniors had abandoned the an
nual prom, the big social event of the
year at Vassar. The students are still
going without butter at dinner. and
there has not been registered one
protest. To help reduce the cost of
living, Vassar students say they are
willing to make many more saeri-
fees.

1T MAKES A DIFFERENCE

I'd heard many tiresome' people
In my two-score years and ten,
Who aimed to be, so it seemed to me
A pest to their fellow men;
But though their name was legion,
And they came from near and far,
The dullest gink, so | used to think.
Was a chap who owned a car.
I'd met with the boastful parent
Who so often proudly told
All things his kid ever said and did
Since the babe was two days old;
Though his silly repetitions
Made my tired ear-drums ache,
The stale clap-trap of the auto chap
Was the stuff that took the cake.
He'd drone blythe weary hour
OF engines, valves, and springs,
OF gears and wheels, and of alloy
%steels,
And a hundred other things.
While my meek and patient spirit
Grew somnolent and dumb,
And brought to bay, I could only pray
That the gods would strike him
dumb.
bragg Of the matchless merits
Possessed by his own machine,
Or. like as not, of the miles he got
From a gallon of gasoline,
While ] hoped for a swift misfortune
That would lay him on the shelf;
But now Pm strong for his siren song,
For I've got the bug myself.
