Les Htbaux held Its regular semi-
monthty on Tuesday evening at the
home of Miss Eva Casperman. The
central diversion of the evening was
a short play. "Dausle Wagasln," par-
ticipated in by Misses Margaret At-
kinson. Elizabeth Harrison, Eva Cas-
perman and Helen Batjer and coach-
ed by Mr. Ester. Miss Harrison, as
the shop-keeper and Miss Batjer as
the saleslady, have a tiresome job
with Miss Casperman and Miss Atkin-
son, who come in merely "porce que
nausvaudeion regarder dls etofles"
and to find out how much Madam
Martignac has paid for a certain dress.
The skit offered much amusement.
Miss Nievell, accompanied by Miss
Gloria Norveli at the piano, sang the
new Les Hibauv anthem, the gracious
composition of Mr. Oberte. The mem-
bers joined in and It is the request of
the president that a!I the members
learn the song "par caeur." The song
is:
Chantons, chantons !a France
Et soyons en jalouv,
Berceau de l'esperance,
:Patronne des "Hiboux"!:
Chantons sa hardiesse,
Chantones se pays doux,
Chantons. car sa noblesse
:Inspire ies "Hiboux"!:
Chantons ce cercle intime,
Ennemi des courroux
Chantons ce jour sublime
:Unissant les "Hiboux"!:
A social hour followed and the
meeting ended with the singing of the
new song instead of the "Marseillaise "
The next meeting will be with Miss
Frezer.
George Bernard Shaw, whose play
"Amis and the Man" is to be present-
ed by the Y. W. C. A. this year was
discussed Tannie Lee Oliphant read
an interesting summary of his life.
Carrie MacAshan gave a humorous ex
position of his play "Man and Super-
man Some very enjoyable bits of
humor from the play were read. The
quartefftfTpntertained with a humor-
ous selection. "The Co-Eds."
AT GYM
WHERE NO JIMS ARE
ALLOWED.
A chance visitor to the gymnasium
last Friday or Monday might have
thought he had discovered a bunch
of centipedes at play. Arms waving
wiidly, iimbs kicking into space at
intervals grew still and resolved
themselves Into perfectiy respectable
appendages of hitherto dignified (?)
co-eds. Gym class had begun at iast.
After many trips out and back home
with "them " in packages, boxes or
bags, finally they got to make use
of them.
They kicked jumped, swayed and
bent In time (or out of time mostiy)
to the sharp 12-3-4 of the instructor.
"Which is my left arm?" "Why don't
my feet go straight like yours" were
accompanied by giggles and shrieks as
some unfortunate lost baiance and
tumbled in a heap.
Then the games were lots of fun
and the showers, hot, cold or warm,
as you iike them, were best ever.
A mad scramble at the one mirror,
a mixture of powder puffs, hairnets
and hair pins, and the first class was
over. Everyone was enthusiastic and
no one grumbles even if they must
navigate stairs very slowly and sit
dowK carefully for a few days. It's
lots of fun and you who have not
signed up for gym are missing much.
It isn't too late, better join and enjoy
getting healthy.
Rice Senior Gir!s to

Honor System Suspended
At Oklahoma University
Norman, Okla., Jan. 29.—At a meet-
ing of the facuity of the University of
Oklahoma iast Thursday, the honor
system was suspended. Moral laxity
was given as the reason for the sue-
pension.
Recommendation to suspend the
honor system and to improve student
council dances and determination of
lawful means of publicity for candi
dates in elections, were high spots in
the iast meeting of the present stu-
dent council Thursday.
Foiiowing the failure of the amend-
ment in the mid-year election, the
councii decided that it would be im-
possibie to enforce the system and
recommend its temporary suspension.
In accord with this recommendation,
Pres. Stratton D. Brooks sent notice
Friday to faculty members to super-
vise ciass rooms during the coming
examinations.
The music of student council dances
wiil be improved, the council decid-
ed. In addition, the council voted to
curtail the number of stags at counci!
dances by raising the price of stags
to $2, and increasing the watchfulness
of doorkeepers in preventing men
from slipping into the dance halls.
Complaint was made to the councii
that often the walls of the dance hall
were so crowded with "strays " that
men who brought dates to the hall
could only say, "boys, here she is,"
and then bid her goodby until "Hap
py at Home Again. "
