a m a thief was discovered in the chi phi fraternity house he was discovered by edwin l leet m e 44 and ran away before a description could be obtained leet called the city police and they searched the house however nothing was missing it was suspected that the arsonist who had tried to burn the house down in april has re turned to finish the job an editorial the triple play at the june 5 meeting of the alumni association board of direc tors mr c l t edwards eleven proposals for making better alumni of our students were recommended for serious consideration mr edwards eleven proposals however are more than a step in the creation of a stronger alumni body they are the first link of a bond between students and alumni — a bond which has been for many years non-existent the practicability of the edwards proposals cannot be proved until they are put into operation but the principle on which they are based is more than worthy of serious consideration the proposals repre sent an attempt on the part of sympathetic alumni to improve the university through cooperation of at least two of the three funda menal bodies of any private university — students alumni and ad ministration it is obvious to the students at least that necessary cooperation does not now exist between students and administration nor between students and alumni the latter cooperation can be achieved to a large degree by the adoption and follow-through of mr edwards proposals which call for the return of the college meeting a*hd ex change of student and alumni thought by speeches and publications it is obvious also that many alumni do not understand student opinion because of lack of intimate contact with the student body many alumni do understand student problems witness the under standing of the letter on page 2 but not the extent to which these problems are carried a bond between alumni and students may well be the catalyst which will eventually clear up the present distant relations between the faculty and administration and the students 3 new men on faculty leaves to nyu . . . spanier to play for if dance e e prof gets post at nyu will replace rogers features

theatres last week he played the steel pier in atlantic city muggsy plays trumpet and cor net and is known as one of the top men in the country on both instru ments he plays the trumpet on the many slow popular songs that the band plays his work on this horn is best compared with that of charlie spivak the clear tone and the little or no resort to the upper register are character istics of both men on the show numbers spanier usually changes to cornet some times using the plunger mute which is closely associated with him the horn is always played in the middle register never resort ing to
