fine specimen of a Central American
tree snake which was found in a ship-mep- t

This snake is the first specimen of

Its kind to be procured for the Uni

Any one .rJassing along Winslowl
street between 8 and 9 o'clock last
Thursday evening would have been
puzzled by the medley of weird sounds,
resembling those of wildcats turned
loose, issuing from Stoll Field. The
occasion was none other than the Initiation of the recent pledges of the
Keys Fraternity.
After the "rough
work" on Stoll Field had been finished
the Initiators and pledges went to the
Chapel room of the Sigma Nu Fraternity House, where the pledges were
given the ritual and installed as members of the Keys Fraternity. George
Rouse was elected president.
The pleges taken into the fraternity
are: E. M. Heavrin, James Cammack,
Dan Morse, George Roue, Henry
Campbell, Edward Byers, Coleman
Hunter, Robert Giovonolli, Madison
Carweln and John iPiley. "

A. A. E. TO GIVE DANCE

IN DICKER HALL

Most elaborate plans are being made
by the American Association of Engi-

neers for a masquerade dance which
this organization .is planning to give
on Thursday evening, May 26, from
8:00 to 1:00 in Dicker Hall, Engineering Department of the University. At
intermission a plate lunch will be
served to the guests.
The dance will be the climax of
Engineers' Day, which will bo held
here on that date for the men of tho
A. A. E. and the alumni of this association. Only the men who belong
to this organization will bo invited
to attend the dance because of the
Incapacity of the hall to accommodate
any more guests. This Is the first
time in the history of tho department
that they have entertained In this
manner and no expenses or efforts
will be spared in making this one of
the most brilliant affairs of the social
season.
