Mob rule prevailed while students fought for the sky prizes. Cook's aim. from his 1000-foot altitude. was good, with only a few of the magazines landing in trees or on campus buildings.
The sales contest, which has been running: for four months, since the September issue, was swept by Zeta Tau Alpha, which sorority sold 482 copies. The magazine's officials awarded a trophy cup for this achievement.
Pauline Hawkins, ZTA. was individual high saleswoman of the entire campaign, disposing of 221 copies, and winning a compact for her efforts. Her fraternity sister, Betty Jo Lansberg, was second, with 198 copies sold. She won a box of stationery.

France Offers To Compromise With Germany
LYONS, France, Jan, 24 — (U.E) — Premier Leon Blum today offered Nazi Germany an agreement for economic cooperation in return for a German pledge to end the race in competitive armaments.
The premier said that his popular front government does not desire to injure German sensibilities by a blunt offer of a bargain but added:
"How can economic agreements be conceived independently of political agreements?”
The whole tenor of Blum’s address. at a banquet given by 3000 of his popular front supporters, was that France is prepared to assist Germany in obtaining colonial sources for raw materials and outlets for her manufactured products if Ngzi Dictator Adolf Hitler will curb his program of military expansion and pledge himself to a policy of peace.
