WORK ON FARM IN  TWO WEEKS
Room for Twenty   More During 8ummer
Afternoon work on the Bryn Mawr
farm will begin in about two weeks, and
will continue, for students in Bryn Mawr,
throughout the Easter vacation. Students
who work as much as 48 hours during
the spring, may count this time as one
week of regular work and draw wages
as soon as they have spent one week

summer.

the summer for periods of a month or
longer. At least eighty student workers,

advantage
FRESHMEN CLEARED $250 FOR
THE SERVICE CORPS FRIDAY
Expenses Less Than For Either 1918's
or 1919's Freshman Shows
The Freshman entertainment netted
the Service Corps S250 last Friday. Ex-
penses were well under $100, less than for
either 1918's or 1919's Freshman shows,
which cost $243 and $367, respectively.
Gate receipts were clear gain, for costs
were met by class dues.
Costume expenses were $35 at most,
mainly for the flowers and Egyptian
choruses, and for the scarlet moth. The
Bolshevik and soldiers' and sailors' cos-
tumes cost nothing.
STUNT PARTY ADDS LOCAL
COLOR TO BATES
WEEK-END
Stunts, giving a vivid portrayal of
summer life at Bates House, followed a
talk by Miss Virginia Deems on the prac-
tical side of the work there, at the annual
Bates Party in the gym last Saturday
night. There was dancing to the music
of the new Freshman Orchestra. $11
were raised by the sale of refreshments.
Miss Deems, who for two years was
the head of Bates, may direct it again
this summer. She told of many adven-
tures of the college workers at Ix>ng
Branch, especially during one fortnight
two years ago when 48 children were
there, without their mothers; at that
time, she said, the college girls could
work out all their pet theories, and as a
result one girl in one afternoon scrubbed
sixteen children.
In the first of the two stunts the
elopement of Butty the Butterick Beaut
(H. Butterfleld '18) with the faithful
Claude (M. Foot '21) was enacted. �The
prelude to the match furnished an op-
portunity for the singing of "The Heart
of the City That Has No Heart" by a
typical Bates group of factory girls. H.
Harris '17 coached the stunt.
The second stunt depicted five minutes
of the IS hour day during children's

YEAR'S WAR COUNCIL CHAIRMAN
Plans  for   Reorganization   Will   be   Pre-
sented Next Week
The War Council chairman for next
year will be nominated and elected at

plication of office that took place this
year.

i nominees receiving the highest number of
votes would be candidates, their names
would be posted and the election would
take place not less than three days later.
The chairman would assume office at the
first War Council meeting after the elec-
tion.
Three plans for the reorganization of
the War Council will be presented to the
mass meeting. (11 That the organization
remain the same. (21 That the present
organization have the addition of a rep-
resentative elected from each class, and
have Its chairman elected by a mass meet-
ing. (3) That student representation in
the organization consist of two members
elected from each class and a chairman
elected by a mass meeting.
A. Hawkins '07 has been appointed head
of the Food Production Department in
place of B. Ehlers 09, who has resigned.
