De Guzman's withdrawal is the culmination of a series of clashes which, it is understood, accompanied the reorganization of the society early in the semester. The immediate cause of his action was a disagreement over the repeated "black-balling" this Spring of two candidates, whose literary qualifications for admission he termed "above dispute." Charges 'Prejudice' in Society Claiming that the refusal to admit the candidates was due, not to the poor quality of the manuscripts submitted for admission, but to "three or four ambiguous and stupid insinuations," de Guzman…

The Off-Hour SONNET. Truly you're delectable certainly respectable, Owner fair of hazel eyes and a mind that's very wise, Lithe of form and slender quite, in things mundane a neophyte. In need of naught that maidens prize, everything that money buys. Locks of hair of ebon shade, soft alluringly arrayed,' Lovely face with lips of red, like blood upon a cold snow-bed. Idolized but quite unspoiled, empiricist as yet unsoiled, Amorous but not misled, contriving e'er to keep your head; Neatly clothed and very chic, saucy rather more than meek, Girlish with your naive air, Minerva's daughter 'neath your hair, Rarely giving forth to pique, mouth that's meant to more than speak. Ever charming, blessed maid, may your beauties never fade, Effulgent shall you ever be a beacon to posterity, Now that I have reached this far, I'm wondering, maid, just WHO you are? JONEY BONEY. Of Interest.…
