Virginia Von Funk: If . the boy has enough money hekshould pay her way. A girl is going out anyway—whether she goes with, boys or not, she'll have to use her" Own money then—so I think it's all right for her to pay her own way occasionally. After all when a boy asks a girl to go out with him it's generally expected that he will pay for.both of them. Harmon Harper: I never have. As to whether a girl should or not, I don't think so. I wouldn't let her if I were,going with her. Madeline Magha: No! The boys are losing their chivalry when they expect the girls they ask for dates to pay for them. -, Oudlles Furlong: Yes7 and again no—diplomatically speaking—yes and again no. Eloise Kennedy: I don't think it's the best thing. If a boy^ can't afford to take you anywhere he shouldn't ask you. You don't always have ' to go somewhere that costs money though.

MARY ATKINSON (Continued on Page 4) To Be Held In University Commons March 31 7 O'clock Dick Baldwin, president of the junior class, said this week that plans for the junior-senior banquet are going forward. The initial upperclass get-together will be held in the University Commons March 31, at 7 o'clock. A committee on decorations con- sists of Dot McConnell, chairman; Lydia Theurer and Frances Ham- mondk Junior class dues have been re* duced to fifty cents. Everyone will pay for his own meal at the ban' quet. Tickets may be secured at the grill and meal tickets may be used for this purpose. At present it is planned to have an orchestra to furnish incidental music and an after'dinner speaker who has not yet been selected. Invitations will be, sent to. Dr. and Mrs. W. S.

STETSONITES LEAD FROM FIRST INNING IN THRILLING GAME Second Game of Series With Georgia is Taken By Stetson BULLETIN The Stetspn Independents defeated the University of Georgia Bulldogs last night in the second of a two game series by a score of 8;5 in what may prove to be one of the most thrilling games of the season. The Stetson nine scored in the first inning on a single and a pair of doubles to lead the Bulldogs until the sixth inning when the Georgia nine tied the count 5-5 with a three run rally, but "Doc" Johnson's boys came back in the seventh to score three more runs to win from the highly tutored Georgia team. "First Lady" Goes To It. Dorafeday The cast of "First Lady" went over to Mt. Dora last night where they gave, a performance of the Kkufman'Dayton prdduction which was presented here last fall, before the local Tourist Club. Lydia Theurer again vibrantly portrayed Lucy Chase Wayne, the beautiful ambitious wife of the handsome Stephen Wayne (Gadi Lawton) as Secretary of State, is a potential President. Her foil' in beauty and in trenchant wit, Irene Hibbard, was plaed by Grace Ah]ers. Their feud as rival Washington social and political leaders formed a dramatic basis for the play's story. Hal Hall made the long-suffering .dyspeptic Justice Hibbard, husband of the vitriol-tongued Irene a pathetic caricature. Chris Segard seemed to incur everyone's dislke quite admirably in the role of the hypocritic, paper mag' nate, Ellsworth Ganiick. Again Lillian Preston figuratively lumbered through the witty measures, of a Washington, song-and-dance as the :pld warhofse, Belle Watlign, who had seen eight administrations. Mary Kay Burns and Lela Mae ; Jennings gave two more excellent Ttharacteifeations bt Washington ■'wives. Charlotte Ferguson, as the social secretary; -Miss Prescott, seemed agaih -the unifying or soothing factor in all this political ruckus, calmly trying to decide what to do with an ex'Ambassador who com' ing to dine at the Wavnes. Alice Wolfe anoeared to dram' atic advantage as Mrs. Creevy, the political campaigning Mrs. Creevy, president of a national,. Purity League. Bertram Cunningham was a paragon of diplomatic restraint as the Wayne butler. Minor roles in "First Lady" were taken by Billy Davis, Corrie Lou Mires and Louis Champeau.
