While Spanish artists in Spain stubbornly ignored the war if they could, in Paris Spaniard Pablo Picasso found the perfect subject for his new horror-mangled style in a huge mural, The Bombing of Guernica, for the Spanish Government Building of the International Exposition.

In the past these posters have dealt with some sort of business, but last week there blossomed out a set of posters advertising a social function for Freshmen candidates: a rum punch. Despite the fact that rum punches are one of the choicest methods of spending a few hours, the public attempt to lure Freshmen to extra-curricular activities by such means is likely to be deceptive to the Freshman and certainly does not shed any glory on the College...
