erally. He also told of his trip to New
Zealand a year ago.
  A few evenings later, Mr. and Mrs.
Gold entertained Dean Russell, Mr.
Smith and others at a Chinese dinner
which the Dean seemed to enjoy im-
mensely. Before the repast was over he
was very deft with the chopsticks, re-
fusing to use a fork. He took down the
names of many of the dishes. After-
wards they were taken to the Hotel
Majestic, one of the show places of
Shanghai--I.3-26.

               TULSA
       ALBERT LEHR, Jr. '21
\    HEN   the Tulsa chapter of the
     American Association of Univer-
sity Women announced plans for a Col-
lege Night gathering of alumni from uni-
versities all over the country at the
Akdar theater in Tulsa on November 17,
few people thought that Wisconsin, far
away to the north, would make much of
a showing. There are so many graduates
from Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, and
Arkansas universities here, that they nat-
urally won the prestige of advance pub-
licity_ 'But when the beautiful new
theater was filled to capacity with a gala
crowd of collegiate alumni on College
Night, old Wisconsin turned out to be
one of the leaders. About 65 of the 75
U. W. alumni known to be residents of
Tulsa were in the Wisconsin section,
capped with cardinal skypieces and
brimming over with pep. They also had
mammoth red chrysanthemums to wave
and flaunt about ýto show their colors.
  Before the curtain arose for the first
act of "The Hottentot," presented by
the Irene Summerley Players, it was
evident that Wisconsin, Michigan, and
the University of Tulsa would be chief
contenders for the prize award of having
staged the best stunt and for having
displayed the most college spirit during
the evening. The local university was
represented by its entire undergraduate
body and by a pep squad of about 4o
boys and girls in bright costumes,
trained to a finish in their yells. Michi-
gan was represented by about 2oopeople,
alumni, members of their families, and
friends, all of whom had been present at
a Michigan banquet before the show.
They had a commanding position in the
house, but Wisconsin's 65 folks were
way down in front where they could be
seen as well as heard, and where Cheer-
leader Crawford Wheeler, 'I6, could
jump to the stage to snap the Wisconsin
crowd into yells and cheers and lead the
orchestra in accompaniment to good old
rousing Wisconsin songs.
  After all of the 30 or more colleges and
universities represented by alumni had
been given four minutes in which to
present their stunts, songs, and yells
between acts and at the end of the show,
the judges announced Wisconsin, Michi-
gan, and Oklahoma, tied for first place.
We were instructed to take three min-
utes more for a competitive pep contest,
and the throats of all three delegations
were strained to their limit. When the
whistle was sounded, the judges an-
nounced the tie as unbroken and gave us
two minutes more of frenzied competi-
tion.  Wisconsin's 65 held their own
against Michigan's 2oo and the crowd
was in a fever of anticipation as the
judges announced University of Tulsa
as the winner.
  Everyone had a big time at the affair
and College Night will be made an
annual feature of alumni activities in
Tulsa. The Wisconsin crowd had pre-
pared for their part in the show at two
meetings during the fall, both held in
the home of Dr. Harry Murdock, 'o2,
and Cathleen -Craigo Murdock, '03.
  Officers elected at the second meeting
were Jack sherwood, '18, president;
Amy    Comstock, 'o9, vice-president;
Edith Ewald, '22, treasurer; Albert
Lehr Jr., '21, secretary; and Art Black,
ex'I7, sergeant-at-arms.    Crawford
Wheeler, '16, was named cheerleader foi
the College Night stunt.
  The Badgers in Tulsa plan to have
further meetings this winter and spring,
one of them to be on the night of a con-
ference basketball game when the play
can be heard over the radio.-I-9-26.
