REVOLT At
HOTELS
Government Dormitory Occu-
pants Refuse to Account for
Money Raised by Dances.

Residents of the Governments
dorrnitories at Union Station are
ION again" This time the boycott
is caused by the management's
ultimatum to the effect that the
funds raised through dances given
at recreation hall must be account
ed for, and spent in a manner pre-
scribed by the powers that be.
Quite naturally, the girlsS say,
they feel that the money they raise
through dances is theirs to spend
the way they want to- Their objec-
ton to the 4ukase is being voiced in
almost total boycott of the big
dance hall. Seven of the ten dorm
tories have pledged total .abnega-
ton in the trouble and the other
three wagering, it is said.
Mrs. Elizabeth Summers, mana
ger of the dorms, declared today
that several of the houses have
been refused permission to use the
dance hall for their subscription
dances until they give to her an
account of the money raised through
dances that were held after she
requested q financial accounting.
She said that with the coming of
weather more suitable to dancing
she expected the opposition to melt
away just as though it were a cake
OF ice on the proverbial Fourth Of
July.

speeding down M street toward me-
He appeared to think that the
street was his private property, for
he honked for me to get out of
the way, and kept right along. I
had slowed down to make the turn
and wasn't running fasts enough to,
clear him. When he was about
twenty-five feet from me he ap-
piled his brakes. and tried to.
swerve, but he caught nay right

and 1 asked him his name and
address. He told me to go to Hell,
but went to the Seventh precinct
instead and reported the affair, ex-
planning that all / knew of the

Der of the car he was driving, and
that he claimed Hell as a. resi-

of the recent arrival of his forty.
fifth child.
Surrounded by his numerous sons
and daughters, and several grand
children, Delsi, of Mexican lineage,
executed a sequence of Spanish
dance steps and indulged in a
hurdling exhibition. He declared
he could not attribute his prowess 70

The latest arrival in the Delsi
tribe was a dark skinned girl, who
screamed Justify when urgently
pinched by several admiring
brothers and sisters. Her weight
at birth was eight pounds.
One feature clouded the day
somewhat for the veteran parent.
Delsi was puzzled when asked if his
entire family was present. Tbs
task of counting forty-four ami
mated, chattering Mexicans and the
segregation of sons and daughters
from the grandchildren was beyond
him.
Delsi says he has been married
four times. Records reveal Atf.,t

twins when he was seventy-nine.
Congratulated on his large family,

-s. New York City:

Dean OF the College OF Arts ann fure
Science, New York University,
New York City:
There is no reason why scholar
ships should not be awarded to
those college students who excel in
athletics as well as those shining
in mental pursuits. For one thing,
/ believe football, baseball and other
sports not only require a keen mind
and alert wits, but develop them
just as studies develop the brain.
The question raised by President
Richards, of Lehigh University, is
not new one, though possibly it
is the first time such a policy has
been made public.
There is one danger in such a
course, and that is that it may tend
to commercialize college athletics,
a tendency only too evident in some
OF our colleges today. 1t was one
of the issues raised by President
MeiklejOhh. Of Amherst, prior to
his resignation.
Sometime ago. I made a study of
the effect on 267 students of my
department of athletic and other
outside interests on their studies,
OF these tWenty-seVen secured no
grades lower than "B" throughout
the college year. seventy-three had
conditions in one or more subjects,
while between these two extremes
were 1877 believed representative of
the larger proportion of the college
body.
OF the twenty-seven high standing
men eleven were officially repre-
sented in sports and other outside
activities. Six We're solely in ath-
letics. or the conditioned students.
four were in athletics, while seven
had some outside interests.
Out Of the remainder. fortv-threa
were engaged in outside activities
/ Based on these figures, it seemed a
fair conclusion that athletics is in
no 'tvptcal sense fatal to good
scholarship.
| think it is true Of this college
as Well as others to welcome stu
dents who excel in any field of
endeavor. be it in the athletic, lit
erary, journalistic. scientific or any
other. The aim of the college ought
always to be to develop both the
physical and mental prowess of pu-
pills.

KNOWING LOVE
CAPRIC|0US
Edna ST. Vincent MilIay Is Re-
garded by Many As Greatest
Lyricist.


Written for Cosmopolitan News Service.
NEW YORK, July 2S.-Her wed
ding coach was an ambulance. Her
honeymoon lodge was a New York
hospital.
Americas greatest love iyricist,
Edna st. Vincent Millay, married
Eugene Boissevain last Wednesday.
a few hours before entering the
hospital for an operation.
Instead of hurrying into a travel
ing gown to be off on the bridal
trip she rode down in an ambulance
from Croton-on-H Hudson. There the
ceremony had taken place at the
distracted urging of Boissevafn, who
feared to let Miss Millay go from
him and not as his own.
And can't help thinking Of a
cross little poem by Wednesday
bride which goes like this:
"And If l. loved you Wednesday,
Well, 1UhGt is that to goa?
1 do not LoUe yOM Thursday
So much is true.
And 1Vhy you come complaimimg
Is more than can see.
l loved you WeGnesday-yes-
ONt 1OILGt
Is that TO me?
Poet Understands Love.
Whether Boissevain retained on
Thursday the love he won Wednes-
day we do. not know. But the
poets understanding of the some
times fleeing quality Of love which
women are apt to deny is revealed
in sonnet of which a few lines
follow:
II knotO I am but summer. to your
heart,
And not the full four seasons
of the gear;
And you must aOeLconte from an
other part
Such noble moods as are not
mine, my DEAR"
In many other later poems Miss
Millay seems preoccupied with death
and has unused on the tragedy Of
the death of one who is beloved.
"NoT shall n,y Love GVGI you in
y0ur hour
In spite of all my love, you aOilI
arise
Upon that day and Uumder doUn
the air
Obscurely as the unattended
fLOWer,
1t mattering not ho1O beautiful
yOM 1Oere,
Or how beloved above all else
that dies"
Lyrics Unusual.
Miss Millay's love lyrics all indi-
cate an unusual attitude toward
love, in a woman, at least. A teas
Ing perversity, an extreme candor,
and a willingness to take love as
men are. reputed to, to be tickle
and to be off with the old love
when the fervor is gone are their
characteristics.
Many discriminating persons re-
gard Edna st. Vincent Millay as
the greatest woman in America.
The exquisite poetry Of Edna ST.
Vincent Millay is known only to a
comparatively few at the present
time, but some believe 1t will be the
richest literary gift of the present
to posterity.
Now the young poets gay spirit
has set upon the adventure Of mar
rage. The girl-poet who once ia
mented that she had no time % do
so many things because she loved
too many people has concentrated
for while upon one.
When the Pulitzer prize waA
awarded to her this spring for "A
Few Figs From Thistles," "Miscel-
ianY" and 1.-The Ballad Of the Harp
Weaver" Miss Millay said in an
interview:
life Is brown and tepid for
many of us. I want to write 20
that those who read me will say
to themselves
Life can be exciting and free
and intense"

For leadership, vigorous physical

1t is quite appropriate that dis
tribution of scholarships should

merely class standing of the re-
