True to big-time circus traditions, two “performances” will given, in the afternoon from 3 to 5 and in the evening from 8 to 11. Admission to the amusement zone, constructed yesterday at the men’s gym, is 10 cents. While old-time circuses, minstrel and medicine shows have been forced into reminiscence by the de¬ pression and the talking cinema, the Carnival today promises to turn back the irrevocable calendar. Twenty-five clubs and organizations have entered booths to make the after-class circus one of those oft- advertised but seldom-achieved “All-school” affairs.

C.’s annual Carnival, to be held this afternoon and tonight, will greet all comers with circus atmosphere. Heartsick, brain-feverish, and neurotic students will find solace in “Dr. Kurimkwick’s” pills, which may be assisted by that ubiquitous soda pop ; while athletically-in¬ clined revelers will find their niche by bowling and marksmanship stands. Fortune hunters may find their goal in the shrouded, curtained re¬ cesses of the mysterious gypsies ,who will prophesy hidden events. Never since the day that he car¬ ried 60 pails of water for the ele¬ phants for a ticket to the three-ring circus, will Mr. Bulldog student have been so completely “unde¬ pressed.” Cards Due Tuesday At Student Office Eligibility cards for the would-be student body officers should be ob¬ tained by next Tuesday, from win¬ dow 1 and okayed by Miss Cather¬ ine J. Robbins, dean of women, be¬ fore handing them in to Eric Em¬ ery at the student body office.
