Nobles Young and Attractive The Russians are young, attract¬ ive, and magnetic. Members of the American family are also young, attractive, and magnetic ! What then? But when we add that there is a crime committed and a de¬ tective arrives, what then? Imagine having a Grand Duke Boris Igorivitch as a butler in your home, Princess Irina Petrov¬ na Shakowskaya as your maid, Prince Vladimir Andreievitch Da- rievsky as your chauffeur, and Count Ivan Dionsievitch Storogov as your footman. It happens in “The New Poor.” “Depression” Rates Prevail “Depression” rates will prevail in the selling of the tickets for the i play, which will go on sale Mon- j day in the main hall. Any seat in the auditorium may be reserved for 35 cents. “The lower price of tickets does not indicate that ‘The New Poor’ will fall short of any previous productions of Bauble and Bell®,” said Miss Katherine Kester, director. “The club wishes every person in the school attend the play and they will be satisfied with a small¬ er profit this year than in the past,” Miss Kester added.

News Channel Undercurrents • © • • Snakes; Skeletons; Native Sons , These last warm days have evi¬ dently fooled the snakes in the gar¬ den near A building, as they are shedding their red flannels and are budding forth in cooler clothing. Bits of former clothes are scat¬ tered in glass cages temporarily housing the reptiles. If prowlers should enter a room in A building stealthily some dark night, they would be frozen to the spot. Ghastly skeletons stand in each room, staring through eyeless' holes at all visitors. Each slight gust of wind causes bones to chatter and rattle, sending cold chills .down liv¬ ing spines. Among representatives of South Africa, India, Europe, South America, and North America in the west gardens, is a bush of Cali¬ fornia lupin, in a prominent place. Although a common sight to Californians, to some visitors it is as rare as Indian plants. This fact the lupin probably recognized when it flowered near the busy west cor¬ ridors.
