Miss Braymer's prize-winning cofi- tribution follows: December Rain I should rather feel the sting Of tiny needle-points of hail Than gentle rain. I'd rather fling My hair and let the north wind flail It than soft fingertips of rain Caress me. Is there nothing right? I'd rather bear sharp jabs of pain Than tender spring rain, lovely, light. --Marjorie Braymer, (New Trier High School, Miss Elizabeth Stanwood, Teacher) Sorority Scholarship is Lower; Still Ahead of Men Northwestern University sorority co- eds have this year failed to keep up the brilliant scholarship record estab- lished last year, but still are far ahead of the men, reports for the first sem- ester of the current year, issued this week by Miss Katherine George, regis- trar, show.

Zeta Tau Alpha leads the sorority list for scholarship with an average of 1.8262. The next five in order are Aokiga, 1.7343; Alpha Gamma Delta, 1.6522; Alpha Chi Omega, 1.6365; Kappa Sigma Tau, 1.5873; Alpha Phi, 1.5823.

D. Simpson, of the in- stitute for research in land economics at Northwestern university, declared this week after extensive studies of real estate assessment in Chicago.
