uedTtu uuuDlOuHuru uy tHN uCNu D uOiN affront in the matter. Several of the professors at once rallied to the latter's support. Dr. Trexler and Prof lessor Powlison being strong in their disapproval of 'the speech. The whole matter was soon cleared up however. when the chairman stated to the students that this was merely one of the stunts of the evening" that the man introduced as the presi- dent of Yale WAS none other than well known architect of this city who had kindly consented to play such
 prominent role in this affair. The students received pleasant surprise and the other stunts then followed
 in tqnick succession.
 The senior class had as their main stunt a mock faculty. The members
 were seated on the stage each one repre-
 senting one of the college instructors. The time was the chapel hour at Bir-
 mingha m Southern. with John Haw- kins acting as Dr. Snavely. The
 scripture lesson was read by Chapman
 Curry, who was a counterpart of Prof. Austin Prodoehl. A false mustache
 and the acquiring of the popular in- structor's familiar standing position was all that Curry needed to- be his second, for he had long been the master of Dr. Prodoehl's method of speech. This is reported to have been very amusing.
 Another quite interesting act was one by Jack Stuart, who appeared as Prof. Allen G. Loehr. He rushed upon the stage as is Dr. Loehr's GUS tom, and made an announcement that was in running with the usual ones made by the English instructor.
 Otis Kirby acted as Dean Spivey, and made a speech much on the same order as one that had been made by the dean the morning before. Andy
 Smith played as Professor Trexler. while Gull Revel took the part of Uncle Bozo, famous to the students as the kinsman of the history depart ment head
 The junior class put on very amusing play for their big stunt. It was of the ordinary type, and made great Init" with the student body. The main characters in this were Miss Corine Travis. who read the play as it was acted; Hugh Hughes. who played the part of the heroine; Louis Myatt the hero; Paul Jones the mother Of the heroine, and Edward Morris as inc william. Each one taking part Is reported to have carried out the role in good fashion. This stunt was one that took much time in preparation. It was very amusing because of the female parts being taken by men, and also because of several technical things which added to the success of the affair.
 A trial was staged by the sopho. mOres as their chief stunt. The stage was so arranged as to represent court room. with Oscar Weeks occupying the Judicial chair. The defendant in this trial was Douglas Pritchett, who was charged by the state attorney, Mir. Rich-s mond Beatty. with having violated the pure food law of 1906. 'e~.-F
 AIf. Russell Johnson was the lawyer for the defense. and the latter was brought up to trial because he was the of the college lunch room, and was charged with selling impure food to the students. The jury was composed ot five men and one lady Messrs. Paul Cooke. foreman: Japeth Rawls, Elliott, Turner, Abernathy and Miss Ray. Star witnesses for the state were William TatOm and Doe" Burton, while those appearing as witnesses for the defense were Misses Beatrice Overall and Mary McEwen, the former being declared a special friend of the judge. The plot soon deepened, and a fiery lawyers bat tie ensued. Much useful evidence was brought out by the witnesses for both sides in their testimonies, and the final appeal to the jury by the attorneys for both sides was declared to have been a fair example of present-day oratory.
 The jury's evidence was to the ef- feet that the case should be thrown out of court. since the charge against the defendant was worded wrong, there be- ing no food law in 1906. The foreman, Mir. Cooke, stated that it should have read: Cruelty to animals" This trial was one of the most humorous events of the evening, and did the sophomores justice for their faithful work on the program.
 A variety of stunts featured on the freshmen program. The class orches- tra. consisting of Messrs. Sapp, Travis, Tate, Kelly, Williams and Trotter, gave several selections while Mir. Travis fa- vored the assembly with two harp solos. The freshmen quartet, composed of Messrs. Rhinehardt. KimbrOugh, Under wood and Fallow, rendered several vocal after which a short act was put on by Messrs. Calhoun and Rogers. This was in the form of an acrobatie stunt, in which Mir. Rogers starred. His jumps and hand walking were re- ported as being marvellous, while the humor interspersed throughout the act made it interesting to all.
 Vocal solos by Messrs. Verman and Steve Kimbrough and Jack Stuart were greatly enjoyed, and helped to keep a string of events on the pro- gram. Every minute was filled with some happening, and the evening was declared tolhave been success in every way. It was undoubtedly the biggest social event of the season for Birming- and all those who had a part in making 1t such a success have already been thanked by college officials.
 A beautiful social event of the week at Birmingham-Southern was the Stunt Night" staged Thursday evening by the Young Wonlen's Christian asso- citation, in the college auditorium. All co-eds of the school were in some way connected with this affair, some more directly than others. A small admis- sion was charged. and all the proceeds went 10 the I. M. .. A. building fund.
 Stunt Night" was divided into six parts. with different leaders for each act. The stage was appropriately deco rated, as well as the large auditorium. Quite a large number of students and faculty members were present, and are said to have thoroughly enjoyed the oc- casion.
 "Bachelor's Dream" was the title of a humorous skit in which Misses Mil dred Adams and Louise Ayereyt took prominent role, assisted by several other well known co-eds.
 Miss Corin Travis and Mir. George Rutledge Stuart. ,Jr. wera declared to
