VIRGINIA HAYES
GENTLY

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, Oct.
%. Colleges which still 80 in for
hazing might learn lesson from
the University of Virginia and
profit by 1t, in the opinion Of an
alumnus of this institution making
obser sations here. The university
has never practiced hazing except
in a moderate way and yet Its
methods have been as effective in
keeping the freshman in his proper
place as those of colleges which
practice force.
For many years, "old men" at the
university hazed the first year men
by ignoring them. For a time.
the freshman mistook this for snob-
berry, but came to realize later
that he was merely being sub
jecttd to a form Of hazing.
Today, the system has changed
somewhat. Now the newcomers are
subjected to the penalty of having
II wear hats while the "old men"
enjoy the 'inestimable privilege OF
going bare-headed.

WOODS SAYS REPORT

Hunters going after deer during the
11-day season opening in Minnesota
Saturday will find as many as two
wears ago and perhaps more, accord
ing to reports reaching the state
game and fish department.
While shooting deer is prohibited
in ten counties and restricted in two
others, conditions, the department
reports, have been favorable for the
animals since the last open season IN
1926.
AS usual, most of the hunters will
go into northern Minnesota, particu-
larly to st. Louis, Koochiching, ltas-
ca Lake and Cook counties. And
Judged by the number of requests for
information reaching the department,
the number may be larger than ever
before.
A hunter is limited to one deer
during the season, the last day OF
which is November 20, except IN
Itasca county, where a further re-
striction is in effect and bucks alone
NAV be taken. The one buck provl-
sion has been in effect in that county
previously, and is continued by order
of the governor at the request OF
residents.

and sliding back the bolt. Here
about eight dollars in cash was taker

In a similar way the burglars hao
entered the Fred Wise Refreshment
Parlor. Here the vandals had also
taken the slot machine and cleaned
the cash register of about eight dol
lars in cash, besides carrying away
a punch board.
After the burglary was discovered
