News from the Houses

Thanks to a couple of uncooperative House committee chairman there will be no all-House dance this spring, but plans for such an affair, the largest dance to be held hereabouts in many a year, came closer to conclusion than a good many people realize.

The story is just leaking out, after weeks of mystery, how the dance was all set to go through, until these two saboteurs put their personal desires above any wish to give the whole College the sort of dance it wanted and announced to the assembled chairmen that they would have nothing to do with such a plan and would go ahead with their own dances.

Their reasons are still unexplained. One rumor has it that one of the two, representing a House which used many years ago to have a reputation for good dances, was acared to annoy his clanny constituents for political reasons and that the other of the two was simply acting as the foll for the first. Another is that the two had the best dates for their own individual dances and refused to give them up because of the prospects of making money.

Anyhow, the dance couldn't go on without the cooperation of every House, and so it was sent to the ashcan, with the public no wiser and no sadder.
