TENNIS COURTS
Promises to place tennis courts on the
Southwestern campus have failed. For
four years it has been the same old sto-
ry that work is to start right away.
Student groups and tennis clubs have
made organized efforts to place at least
a few of the courts in order, but the
University ha$ always failed to come
Up with its part.
An investigation of the matter re-
vealed the fact that a certain part of
the athletic fees paid is supposed to go
for the support of tennis. This being
true, it stands to reaspn that if this ap-
propriation has been set aside, as it
should have been, there should be con-
ciderable money in his fund, as no mon-
ey has been spent in four years on ten-
nis courts.
The Athletic Council is overlooking
an important branch of physical devel-
opment when they fail to provide for
this sport. Major athletics should not
overshadow the development of the
masses to such an extent that all the
athletic funds must be spent in their
support. This question should be con-
sidered, and considered seriously, for no
provision at all is made for recreation
of the girls, and this need is only par-
tially supplied to the boys through the
Y. M. C. A.
NOW is the. time for action. Shall
the funds which are supposed to main-
tain the tennis courts actually be ap-
plied in making them exist?
CORN IN COLLEGE
•v
f.
When Southwestern students appear
at social functions composed solely of
university students, under the influence
of intoxicating liquor, The Megaphone
believes it is time to call a halt. It is
bad enough for a supposedly intetyigent
man to stoop to drink the filthy hootch,
but to inject the unseemly odor of
"corn" amid a throng of respectable
college girl, as was the case last Sat-
urday night, demands the condemnation
of all Southwestern.
The "University frowns heavily on
those w6Uld-be drunkardd who infest ev-
ery college, but a heavy frown is not
going to abolish the evil. It would not
be so bad if the corn-fiends .would go to
Austin, Taylor, or Lion's Head to in-
dulge in their carousals, but when there
are "ladies present" these men are not
only a disgrace to themselves, their

tense disrespect to the young ladies
whom they accompany.
The men Saturday night were not
drtlnk, but were drinking, and the prin-
ciple is the same., Public sentiment
among men will not stop the flow of
booze. The Megaphone believes there
is only one remedy: The girts of South-
western must refuse the slightest ad-
vance of these guzzlers, and then South-
western will be a veritable Sahar y
ZETA PLEDGES GIVE
MARDI GRAS CARNIVAL
AFFAIR SATURDAY NIGHT AT
GYM PROVES VERY ORIGINAL
IN CONCEPTION
Zeta Tau Alpha's, 1922 pledges enter-
tained the initiates and their escorts
with a Mardi Gras Carnival last Satur-
day night. The north half of the floor
in Godbey Gymnasium was screened off
and decorated for the affair. Blue and
gray streamers formed the walls and
ceiling of "la salle."
Booths- decorated with Beta colors dis-
pensed paper caps, confetti, balloons,
serpentines, cream cones, peanuts, and
soda water.
A local orchestra supplied mpsic for
the occasion. The music was what those
flappers 'call ."irresistible."
The charming decorations served as
"an admirable setting for the costumeB.
Each of the young ladies present repre-
sented some, age, country, fad or fash-
ion of the world. Spanish senoritas,
gypsies, colonial dames, were mingling
with house-maids, vampires, Indians,
and, paper-capped college men.
Miss Helon Post, president. of the
sorority, led the grand march with her
escort, Mr. Hen-era. The orchestra was
at its best during the march and this
exercise served as an excellent substi-
tute for dancing.
'
A paper war of confetti and serpen-
tines followed the grand march, and a
"Paul Jones" was executed under the
direction of Mr. Krichamer.
Misses Gladys Holt and Mabrgaret
Hay, in colonial attire, won the decis-
ion for beauty in . costume ,while Miss
Alma Agee, as a Spanish toreador, and
Miss Bobbie Pitts, as "Saturdaynight,"
were decided to have the most original
in eorftume.
Refreshments of '' Celestial Gous-
tach" and angel food^cake were served.
Those present were: Misses Helon
Post, Louise Lamb, MildVed Puckett,

TO THE LAUNDRY
Here1! to the laundry
That washes our clothes,
They exchange our sheets ;
And mangle our hose*.
They've paved their floor
With the buttons from shirts,
And they iron our collars
By a system of jerks.
They shrink winter woolens
Closr^tap to your knees
And seqd back a piu
In your B. V. D.'s.
Stamp ink on the front *
Of your shirt of SiK
And make Turkish towels
Like a Scottish kilt.
I send down a tie ,
In my name McDowell,
And they send it back
To a bird named Howell.
One day from my bag
A garment I drew,
The blamed thing was silk
And a delicate blue;
A Prof at that moment
Chanced to look in my door,
Says he to himself,
I'll even a score.
"So you're Caught with the goods,
What's that thing in your hand!"
How I prayed I could feegt
That dear laundry man. ' # -
''t'-t' -f r'2*£%' • ' S-'J:
Yes, we'll drink to the laundry,
Now hear me talk;
May they always go 'round
With holes in their socks, .
No buttons on shirts,'
No crease in their pants; ^
May their garters break
When they" go -to a dance.
I think more than this,
But I've said all I can,
I long for revenge
On the dear laundry man.
