Radio is my hobby! I shall want no other.

It maketh me to stay home at night,

It leadeth me into much trouble.

It draweth on my purse—

1 go into paths of debt for its name’s sake.

Yea, though I understand it perfectly, it will not
oscillate.

The difierent kinds of notes—they comfort me;

Yet it will not work in the presence of mine enemies.
I annoint the coils with shellac,

But the tube spilleth over.

Surely the radio bug won’t follow me all the days of

my life, i as}
For if it does I will dwell in the House of Poverty
forever! ~FRED.

With the blowing of the starting whistle tonight at
the VarsitymAlumni basketball game, the 1929—30 cage
season ofiicially opens for Armour. For the past four
weeks Coach Krafft and his men have labored dili-
gently to build up a team that will come through the
season in a victorious manner.

A long and difficult schedule has been arranged,
calling for fifteen games, seven of which are away
from home. It is no easy task which confronts the
team. However, a spirit of grim determination per—
vades the squad this year, a spirit which means that
every game will be a battle from start to finish. Last
year, several games were lost by heart—breaking mar—
gins of one, two, or three points. These losses were
due to one, and only one, thing—lack of student sup—
port. That desperate last minute rally, put forth at
the stimulus of a crowd of cheering students, was
lacking. How can a team feel like putting forth its
best efforts when the student body does not even care
enough to attend the games?

This year Armour is going to have a fighting team,
a hard-playing team, one which will furnish thrills
a-plenty. Their success is going to depend upon the
support they receive. Let's all be out there on the side
lines backing the team at each and every game. Now
is the time to start. Tonight is the first game; be at
the Armory at four-thirty o’clock.

Some people become discouraged when things look
dark for them, others settle down to fight harder.
Those that are easily discouraged lose out. those that
keep plugging away win. Last week the mid—semester
distribution of “flunk” notices was performed. Students
took these little slips, read them, and reacted, each
according to his own nature. One said, “Good gosh,
lookkit all these subjects i’m flunking in. I’ll be on
probation next semester if I flunk those. In a bad
way. What will my folks think?“

However, another said, “Doggone, lookit all those
subjects I’m flunking in. This won’t do. I bet I can
pass all of them or maybe all but one if only I work a
little harder. Anyway I‘m going to pass or bust a leg
trying."

Maybe the second man will not pass all his work,
but he will probably pass most of it. It is a “cinch”
that the first man will not pass his work; at least it
he continues with his present attitude. Don’t be like
the “good gas ” man, be like the “doggone” man.
There are nine weeks left to raise the old average. An
engineer is never a quitter.
