Unique Comedy Staged In Chapel By I Professors Altman and Wagoner In Introducing 1920 S • 1byl.
Sibyl- Coming- Everybody buy! Very eloquently in chapel T hursday morning Professor Altman told the student body of the merits and wonders of 1920 Sibyl. Then for a few moments it looked very much as if Prof. Rudy Wagoner would object to the price of the book. He did so in such flowery and effusive language that the freshmen won dered how his tongue could fly so fast.
But when this estimable man discovered that his picture, along with everybody's and a multitude of other things was to be in the Sibyl, he came speedily down from the gallery and shook hands with ProfesAlt h sor· Al tman on t e proposition, in a very coy manner.

INTERESTING SIDELIGHTS ON THE
BIG DES MOINES CONVENTION
Almost every nationality in the world was represented there, but not one foreign language was spoken. The Chinese spoke American; the Hindu spoke plain United States, the Japanese, the Russian, the Mongolian, and even the New Yorker front Brooklyn spoke plain English.
*
"What's this Student Volunteer stuff about anyway?" asked a Des Moines policeman who was assisting at the Registration Bureau.
Before an answer issued forth from the bystander he added, "Of course I know it's a political issue of some kind or it wouldn't get b y."
Men in uniform who were attending the convention attracted much attention from the ladies. The boys from Vicksburg Polytechnic Institute, with their dark blue overcoats and brilliant red capes, and the lads from West Point and Annapolis in the unifor,m of the army and navy, made a striking appearance among the civilian crowds.
*
A lot of war heroes could be seen at the convention. M en with one, two and three gold service stripes upon their coat sleeves; men with the Distinguished Service Crosses dangling from their watch chains, and all
sorts of army insignia might be seen in the crowd.
* * * *
The Canadians and their peculiar brogue were a source of great pleasure to the students of the mi•ddle west and other sections of the country who were not fainiliar with the '· Canadian way."
A Toronto delegate who arrived late at the morning session set the whole group of students laughing with:
"I say, old chap, but I must find a bye to send out to \Vashington Ave. to get my cawd."
Evidently he had forgotten his admission card and wanted to send a a boy ou.t to his miles-distant lodging p1ace to get it.

Spanish girls could easily be determined in the crowds of students which swarmed into the Coliseum. Most of the girls affected big shell hair combs and much jewelry.
"Son1e town," remarked a Boston delegate as she wended her way to the Coliseum.
"I stood on the street corner one solid hour this morning trying to find out if I were facing the east or the west. I asked three people and they all said, "How do I know? Just follow the crowd."

HARD BUT LOSES
Denison Baptists Win Otterbein's First Basketball Game by Using Football Tactics.
OFFICIATING IS INFERIOR
Referee Allows Great Deal of Fowling by Denisonians and Calls Only Five Fouls in Entire Game.
Friday night, January 9, Otterbein lost her initial basket ball game of the season to Denison at Granville by the score of 41 to 24.
Both teams seemed evenly matched during the first half. At the close of this period Denison was leading by two points only. Both quintets exhibited good basket ball, the Tan and Cardinal showing up particularly well at the passing game, but lost excellent opportunities to increase their score account of their inabil011 ity to locate the basket after carrying the ball up the floor.
Beginning the second half with
football tactics, Denison rapidly forged ahead. Otterbein, being out-
weighed, was no match for this style
of basketball. But five fouls were
called during the entire game. Earley and Ranck starred for their respective teams.
The score: Denison 41 Otterbein 24 Owens F. Cutler Botkin F. Collier Kull C. Fox

It seems that he went home Christmas and the next thing we heard was that his susceptible young heart had succumbed to the wiles of a young lady among the hills of Pennsylvania.

The Democratic get-together meeting in Washington was a very significant event in contemporary pol itics.
