of having constructive talks on all phases of a topic instead of having competitive debates has been used at perm state with apparent suc cess the principle of the forum will be to get to the bottom

from the phi gamma delta and the psi upsilon houses have been making the ut most of the present crop of snow somebody's toboggan has been ap propriated for the occasion and several crack-ups a number of en joyable rides have been made but a few of the more hearty psi u's have tried their luck at skiing the results have not been exactly disastrous but there is at least one person who now wishes that he had thought a little more before at tempting a ride the toboggan slide was made in a path on the university property up beyond the chi phi house the slide is about 100 yards long and is very fast originally it was impos sible to make the turn on to the campus road thus necessitating a spill on each ride however this was remedied and the tobogganners may now ride in comparative safety the

from the phi gamma delta and the psi upsilon houses have been making the ut most of the present crop of snow somebody's toboggan has been ap propriated for the occasion and several crack-ups a number of en joyable rides have been made but a few of the more hearty psi u's have tried their luck at skiing the results have not been exactly disastrous but there is at least one person who now wishes that he had thought a little more before at tempting a ride the toboggan slide was made in a path on the university property up beyond the chi phi house the slide is about 100 yards long and is very fast originally it was impos sible to make the turn on to the campus road thus necessitating a spill on each ride however this was remedied and the tobogganners may now ride in comparative safety the
