DR. SHERBON CONDUCTS INTERESTING EXPERIMENT
   Dr. Florence Sherbon, formerly a student in the University, who is now located at the University of Kansas, reports an interesting experiment on the relation of diet to the vigor and mental ability of students.
   Records of everything the pupils of a class ate in a day, including candy, ice cream and other foods between meals, were kept in terms of the number of calories derived. Then the pupils were examined physically classified as to vigor as poor, fair and good. Their scholastic records were compared with the others, and it was found that those pupils who ate less than 1600 calories a day were in the poorest physical condition, were below in vigor, and had the lowest grades, while those who consumed between 1600 and 2200 were in the best physical condition, and had the highest grades.
   Dr. Sherbon considers milk as one of the large number of calories it contains and its easy digestive qualities, while leafy vegetables are essential to the daily diet.

     GIRLS LIKE INDOOR GYM
   Freshman girls prefer to frolic in the gymnasium, rather than to trudge the dusty roads around Iowa City. Just the pepper to relax tired nerves after classes agree the freshmen, who until this quarter were without gym accommodations and were trailed around the outskirts of the town for an hour three times a week.
   The biggest attraction of all is the swimming pool. Even the men envy them this. Regular classes where you can learn to swim and dive, but if you are experts there is the recreation hour where you may splash anyway you like, just so you don't get the life saver wet. By the way, he's the man who can tell you how the girls appreciate their gym.

     ARE YOU INTERESTED?
   (Contributed by a student in the department of sociology).
   Are you one of those who are interested in the social and economic problems of today, in making democracy more of a reality; and in talking over these problems with those who may or may not agree with you?
   If you are interested come and meet with others who are like-minded and help plan to make these ideas effective. This call is to all who have taken or who are taking any courses in the economics and sociology department, undergraduates and graduate students, men and women alike. Your interest and ideas are wanted.
   No plans have been made as yet beyond the suggestion of an open forum, but there is a great field of activity and interest that may be developed. It is hoped that through such a group we may get into a closer and less academic relation with the world about us.
   If you think all this is worth while and want to see a center started for the democratic ideals that exist among the students come to the liberal arts drawing room next Thursday evening at 8 o'clock. Reserve the date.

   "Were you one of the audience at the Englert theatre Thursday evening who was entranced by the charming young lady and her escort whom the senior medics were so attentively entertaining?" If you witnessed "The Briday Whirl" on that night you could not have missed seeing them, for such a vision of feminine loveliness, and such a picture of masculine virulence were never before seen together off the stage. Murmurs of wonder and conjecture ran thru the audience: "That glassy raven black hair!" "What a Parisian elegance to her hat!" "Doesn't he remind you of the handsome hero in the Paramount's last release!" "How is it that the medics know them so well!" "I don't believe they can be a married couple judging from the coquettish glances she's casting at all of them!" "And did you notice the way he's been flirting with all the chorus girls?" "I wonder if we'll ever find out who they are?"
   Their identity is still a mystery. One enamoured young man followed them to a well-known restaurant in hopes of getting a chance to be introduced, but he was rewarded only by a cool glance of the gentleman who hurried the lady into a taxi which was last seen moving rapidly up Dubuque street. His offer of five dollars to a medic for an introduction was refused with a cynical smile. This will go down in history as one of the inexplicable mysteries of the medic class of '19.
