Carlson Organization Phones: Greenleaf 500, Sheldrake 0500 NOW LEASING Legion to Offer Large Award to Poster Artists| A poster which will forcefully ex- press the ideals and purposes of the American Legion is desired by that or- ganization, and the National Poster Alliance announces a poster competi- tion for prizes offered by Voiture 220, LLa Societe Des 40 Hommes Et 8 Chevaux, Chicago. A first prize of $1,000 will be given; a second of $300; a third of $200 and also ten honorable mentions. The jury of award will be Gen. John J. Pershing, Admiral William A. Moffett, Hanford MacNider, Howard P. Savage, Charles Mills, Mrs. Adaline McCauley, Willy G. Sesser, Kerwin H. Fulton, Lorado Taft, Charles Dana Gibson, Norman Rockwell, John Brubaker, Alon Bement and William MacLean. The contest is open to all artists. The word message which the picture conveys should be complimentary to the picture, it is explained. As the poster is for the purpose of encourag- ing the interest of all ex-service men in the activities of the Legion, the wording should endeavor to express this thought without necessarily calling upon ex-service men to join the Le- gion. Further information concerning the contest may be obtained by writing Voiture 220, La Societe des 40 Hommes et 8 Chevaux, 308 Burnham building, 160 North LaSalle street, Chicago, it is announced. Dr. and Mrs. Stolp, 336 Warwick road, Kenilworth, who have been in Tucson, Ariz, for some time, plan to leave there the middle of April for California. They expect to arrive in California about May 1. 'Non-Greek Frats Lead the Way in N. U. Scholarship The Monacoans, a fraterity that is not a Greek letter organization, led the list of campus societies in scholar- ship at Northwestern university dur- ing the first semester of this year. Their average, as estimated by the registrar's office, was 1.685 (of a pos- sible 3.00). The Wranglers, another non-Greek letter fraternity, were sec- ond, and the Scribblers of the same classification, were third. Then came Phi Kappa Psi with the best average made by them in recent years and the other Greek letter frats in close or- der. Phi Delta Theta and Phi Kappa Sigma were last on the list of the larger fraternities. Among the fraternities with less than ten undergratuate members on the scholarship list, Acacia led with an average of 1,487, an average schol- arship grade that would place them third in the longer list of all fraternities. All men in fraternities averaged 1.148. Delta Mu led the sor- ority list with a point average of 1.812, then came Phi Omega Pi, Alpha Xi Delta and other sororities with ave- rages only a little less. All girls in sororities averaged 1.471, or higher than the all-man average in the frat- ernities. ; The men's dormitory, non-fraternity, that led was Haven House with a score of 1.303; Foster House was sec- ond and Lindgren House was third. All men in dormitories averaged 1231, or a slightly higher grade than the frat- ernity men. Next year, with the sor- ority girls in their new campus homes, the effect of this manner of living upon scholarship will be watched close- ly by the knowing ones. - Anything today.
