TABLE TALK OF COLLEGE FOLK Women, War, Athletics and Personalities the Main Topics at Fraternity -> .-•'..-'.' calls it iiwittP Harvard Crimson Flays Stu- dentsâ€"Same Condi- tions at N. U. war, athletics and' per- HELLSTROM'S KICKS WIN GAME FOR HIGH His Sure Toe Places Twelve Counters for Evanston Women, sonallties. These tour compass the conversa- tion of the college men at the tables In the fraternity houses, university com- mons and boarding houses. College men are pretty much alike the country over. The students at Northwestern are not much different than those In the east: The Harvard Crimson, the daily paper at Harvard, recently Had an editorial on this sub- ject of dinner conversation and'limit- ed the scope to shop, sex and sport: The editor of the Crimson flayed the students in a truly incisive manner. Memorial hall at Harvard furnishes the dining place for some 1.000 stu- dents. Here is what the Crimson says of the conversation^ Waste Three Hours Daily. ' "The conversation at Memorial hall is in a degenerate state. It is confined entirely to petty,-heckling trivialities. No effort is made to discuss a subject intelligently or arrive at a logical con- clusion on any question of. the day One thousand men are each wasting three hours a day in intellectual dejec- tion which hight profitably he spent in cultivating intelligent thought. "Women, the war, athletics and per- sonalities comprise the range of sub. Jeots. Among the first named, virtue is apparently unknown. The weaker sex;ta*sWJeci~**sia^iter^ ' whose sole aim Is to fill a gap in the conversation., ' ..r":*•â- ' "When the talk wanders to the war, some one nam, *I hose those -----â€" get licked,' an* the stiBJect Is closed. Even on athletics, where the interest is keenest,, desultory remarks and blasphemies on Yale are the main ele- ment. Interspersing everything are biting personal ities op another's phys- ical or mental qualities. A tone of affected cynicism crowns the whole. "Whatever the majority of those who frequent Memorial hall find in the conversation; the intellectually am- bitious find it an extreme bore. The Remedy Is Thought. "What is the remedy for this condl- iion? Thought! The conversation need not be "sissy.' It need not be highbrow. It may abound In swear words and lines with a double mean ing. Is there any reason why conver- sation cannot show intelligent effort of the mind? Is there any reason why meal times cannot be a period ot intellectual stimulus?" Not Different Here. A cross section of the mass of con- versation at a dinner table at a Northwestern fraternity would reveal about the same characteristics as the Harvard talk. Northwestern men may talk mow about the women, for they are so aver present "on this campus. Athletics, and especially*football, does not offer much too* for boasting, but lt^ does come in for its shard of doping ^ The war was once a supreme topic, but it baa been worn almost thread- bare and little is said, although many of the students are taking history courses which have a direct bearing on the present situation. But class rooms are In anotner world from the dinner table and the dayls work In college is a closed book by night time. In former generations students walking between classes continued the discussions of the hour In class, but most men af Northwestern walk with women, and there are other tonics more interesting to *hem tKan 25 professors' explanation of some point.

Four field goals, the largest number ever made In a local prep game, gave Evanston â-  high a victory over New Trier high on Saturday. Hellstrom of the Evanston team registered the four field goals, and the score of the local team was farther increased by Fargo, left guard, who intercepted a forward pass and raced thirty yards for a touchdown.' New Trsir's points also came from goals kicked by Weedon in the sec- ond and fourth periods: Hellstrom started the scoring In the first quarter by a thirty yard drop kick. Weedon evened up by a forty yard kick in the first ot the second quarter. Fargo intercepted a forward pass and raced thirty yards for a touchdown. Hellstrom missed goal. Score end of first half, E. T. H. S., 9; New Trier, 3. Greer went in for Sweet at left end on the Evanston team, and Johnson substituted for Penfleld. Hellstrom registered a forty yard drop kick. At the beginning of the fourth quarter Greer went back to left end. Weedon put over another twenty-five yard drop kick and Hellstrom made one from the thirty-five yard line. An- other from the same position gave the local team their eighteen points, and the final whistle blew with the ball on NeWiTrler^lw^ety-flve yard line. "..'•â-  V Evanston academy continued its steam roller football Saturday, crush- ing Morgan Park academy, 76 to 0, on the cadets' field. In four games Ev- anBton has scored 293 points, better than 73 to a game. Coach Holsinger's eleven played consistent football throughout, ending the first half, 34 to 0. Not once was Morgan Park able to stop the visitors* who. went through the-game without resorting to a sin- gle punt. Kirkpatrick raced sixty yards to a touchdown after catching a punt and once Kempt did-a fifty yard sprint following an intercepted forward pass. .v^:' #$?

President A. W. Harris has, In his long period of educational work, re* celved many honorary degrees, and he has probably more diplomas than two or three average college profes- sors. But he has added a new diploma to his collection. It is a certificate of membership in the Bricklayers' and Masons' union of Salina, Kan. President Harris went to Salina last week to speak at the laying of a cor-, ner stone of a new gymnasium for Kansas Wesleyan college. Before he lifted the trowel to spread the mortar he was duly made a member of the union and was given a highly litho- graphed certificate. He Is now privi- leged to do all the troweling he wishes without fear of causing a walkout of the union laborers on the job. Last February when he conducted the same sort of a ceremony in con- nection with the Harris hall of polit- ical science on the university campus, Prof." John A. Scott almost broke up the very impressive meeting by ask- ing the president if he had a union card. Practically all of the brick pavement being laid is in the alleys. Sheet as- phalt Is laid on the boulevards and residence streets and some even on ihe down town streets.

They used to use from 20 to 2R per cent and went up to almost double that. Now they are back again to 25. per cent and expect good results. .
