half over back-country roads which had been turned into a bog in some places by the steady rain this was the first official race for both chickering and aitken ol the brown and white and if this

competition will sure ly be keen every wednesday evening instruction in the light fantastic is being given by jimmy morris instructor of the chorus simple dancing steps are being taught to the chorus and the aptitude with which the men are learning them is sur prising the only unfortunate thing about the show in past years was the failure to produce the show in more than one city out side of bethlehem this year an attempt will be made to bring the show further into the lime light by producing in a few cities outside of bethlehem and perhaps end up by a presenta tion in new york if there is anyone in college who could aid the publicity and production de partment in this respect he should call up jimmy morris at the phi gamma delta house the new york lehii as the members of the new
