motion was to the effect that there was

the law requires the time to be definite

As far as Queens college stu

least.
After hearing DR.. Charles

from China, the students de-
cided not to buy any silk stock

sible.
The boarding students plan
to forego ice cream at two
dinners a week and contribute
the cost of the desserts to

Day students and boarding
students will contribute one

relief for every five-cent pur-

These decisions were made
at the chapel period today.

Then the torso of another vic

The company had no govern
