The self-styled "king of the banjos"
entertained the student body in as
sembly April 10. He did not state
which banjo he was king of but it
was evident that it was not the one
he brought with him. The student
body laughed uproarously however at
his attempted dances and particularly
at the antics of the student assistants
whom he called from the audience.
Harry Wintermyer, Tony Lopez and
Paul Mitvalsky did their best to dis
play as much senselessness as the
king but just as their efforts were
beginning to show results, DR.. Cot
ton spared further chagrin to the ac-
tors and student body by dismissing
the assembly.
Mr.. Kirby Of the forest service de-
livered a talk to the student body
April 20, the occasion being national

terest of his audience from first to
last. Among other things he told
that the rate of growth of American
forests is but one fourth the rate of
consumption, and then explained the
things necessary to improve this con-
dition In this program for conserva-
tion were four points. First, conser-
vation of the present forests by pre-
vention of forest fires; second, by bet
ter methods Of logging and cutting;
third, by the use Of all the waste ma
terial and the economical use of lum-
Der; fourth, by the proper reforesting |
of the waste lands of the nation.
