Add to these edibles the refreshing éxperi- ence of being served by the hands of pretty co-eds, and what wouldn’t any student do? It is calculated to en- courage any man to take the hoe and belp to do in one day what at other times takes three. It is only by thorough organization and frequent consultation that the women students have been able to in- sure a good luncheon. The women's committee, under the leadership of Miss Margaret Henderson, has done wonders these last few days. The com- mittee has becn split up into two sub- committec fragments, each with a duty to perform. One of these sub-committees is a finance committee, obligated to collect 15 cents per capita to defray the. ex- pense; another's office is to furnish the bread, another the deviled ham, another the cake, and so.on.

Dozier, Miss Foster, Miss Freid- rich, Miss Jarvis, Miss Little, Miss Lathrop, Miss Lovejoy, Miss Parker and Miss Stone.
