Vol. Xll NOVEMBER 28, 1933 No. ll Appreciate apportunities Offered (li'ten we find prominently displayed in the-col- umns of our daily newspapers that some alumnus has bequeathed to his or her school a sum of money, established perhaps as an endowment, in appreciation for the preparation and opportunity that school had given to him or her to become a successful citizen, measured not only in monetary value but also in the greater ability of apprecia» tion of all values that become the property of an educated person. As the student wanders through the corridors of his school, enters the rooms and thc labora— tories and seeks knowledge and information in the library, consults and receives the advice and assistance of faculty and deans, and sees the in— fluence the school is bearing upon him as he progresses he must have stopped and asked him» self who has offered and made available to him all this cultural machinery? Surely it is not through any eii'orts of his own. At some time someone had had the grand vision. and the ability, and the willingness, to establish in the community an opportunity for generations to come, to obtain the knowledge and information that would to them be the most vital if they were to lead a life of leadership and accomplishment. There was no personal profit in his thoughts, neither was there the feeling of helping those who had been of particular value or assistance to him, in other words-mun obligation, but it was the spirit of the man who sees an opportunity to make the world in which he lives a little bit bet- lcr to those that are to follow. But a school can not exist indefinitely upon the generosity of one man or a group of men, so that the institution must look forward to its alumni to support it to some extent. Isn’t it an opportunity for the successful alumnus of today, the student of yesterday, to offer to his alma mater some thing that will give to the student of tomorrow the same opportunity that he had? It is this op— portunity that prompts the alumnus to bequeath to his alma mater endowments and scholarships about which we read in the papers. Armour has been conspicuous by the absence of‘ such notices in these papers and why? Has one of the greatest engineering schools in the country failed to give to her students an educa— tion second to none? Certainly not if we record the innumerable and successful alumni of this in stitution. Perhaps in its service giving through the years Armour has failed to duly impress upon its students the opportunities offered. in many colleges from the time the student enters the in» stitution to the time he leaves the fact has been Hello, all you struggling heroes, cr—I mean lighting chhawks, now that back work is caught up and wc'rc starting the homestretch of the semester let's keep right up there and plenty of time to support everything that comes up hereabouts.

This week our good friend and supporter, our Pal "lnky Dicky," has bestowed oodles and oodles of verse upon us, dear readers, and with your kind consent, we will scatter verses here and there through the column. “You'rc perfect," said the lover shy. Then paused in i'remulms (Injection.

She: “I had no idea. they did it with a hunt." PROVERB Some people rise under rosponsihility, others only swell.

They were seated in the parlor And he said unto the light Either you or 1, old fellow Will be turned down tonight. In the parlor there were three She, the parlor lamp, and he, Three is company, no doubt, And so the little lamp went out. During the war, so the story goes, the Germans named their ships after jokes so the English wouldn‘t see them. Arch Cramcr went hunting last week. He was after jack rabbits but shot two mules. An unforgiveablc mis- take. Did you apologize to the jackra/hbits, Arch? The days of taking a couple of cotton fields to make a girl’s party dress are gone forever.

B. impressed upon him that it is due to the generos— ity of others that he attends and in the future he is expected to help others do the same. We do not advocate that the professors give an impassioned plea to each class every month or so, but we do believe that students should be impressed with the fact someone else is paying for their education, at least in part. sidcration, but. it seems logical that one who persists in subjecting him— self to physical incupability (drunk- eness) can do just as good u job of it at a table as at a bar. The congress— men had hettcr devote their eii‘orts to the more important phases of the subject and leave the individual’s charwiter to the individual. In spite of legislation, little or no respect will be held for the over—indulgent. a :1: ii: :l: SEVERAL WEEKS AGO a com- mittee was appointed for the sole purpose of enforcing the wearing of green “pots” by the. freshmen. How- ever, in spite of the existence of this; committee, thcrc are more violations of the set tradition now than there were at any time before. Why docun’t this group fulfill the duties it was intended to fulfill? Evidently, follows, the student body is not go- ing to play the part of the tattle-tale in reporting violations. You are go— ing to have to play the part of the detective. Let's go! OTHER EAMPUSES It is estimated thut students can obtain an education at the University of Arizona. for its little as $320 per year. including tuition and living costs. Efforts are being made at the Uni» vcrsity of Colorudo toward desnoo bing- the campus. Every student crossing the bridge over the lake must shake the hands of everyone he meets. So for it has been successful. Tho freshman clam: of the Uni- veroity of Maryland has declared a rebellion against the wcak and dod- daring sophomore class of that insti— tution and issued a sci. of rules for tho muphr. to obey. They are as fol. lows: ”1. All sophomores must say ‘nir' to freshmen . "2. Sophomores must discontinue cutting across the campus. “3. Sophomores must clmcr practice three times a week, ‘srug‘. "ll. Sophomores shall wait until freshmen have cntcred the dining room and taken seats. come to “5. Sophomores shall purchase 'rnt' cups from freshmen at a ‘rca— amiable price’, the price to be dz:- tonniued by the freshmen, and wear these capo religiously, morning, noon and night." Dartmouth College has; formed a polo team this year as an addition to its many athletic teams. The Uni» versitics of Iowa and Oklahoma also support a polo team. The University of Chicago has ceased to panalizc Modems: for (“Lit- ting classes. Attendance is no Longer compulsory. An instructor in the sociology rle- partment at the University of Wis— consin passes out cigarettes during exams to make students more natur- al. because, he says, the course itself is such an inhuman one. An article relating; to the new honor system to prevail during exam- inations at Adelphi college states: “There shall be a distance of at least two feet separating chairs of neigh- boring students.” in 1732, coeds at Salem College coultl take baths only by special permission and at times indicated by instructors. Pictures are required to be handed in with themes at Northwestern Uni— versity so that the professor will know whose work he is grading. Yule men Imus been. asked to watch their conduct while riding on street cars. They have caused so much trouble this fall by creating disturb— ances that the traction company offl» cials have been forced to take steps in promoting the Tights of passengers by police methods.

LUKEY, Riversidcys loading dairymun, attributes his suc- cess not to himself but to udders. We have discovered that “SPHKE” SUMAN likes to drive because he runs into so many interesting; people. While on the subject. we quote HERB KREISMAN am saying, “It’s mighty hard to drive a hairy/win,” and we who lmow his Buick are inclined to believe him. Dr. A. M. Hillliounn reports that B. O. Scugar is expected to return soon from a Visit to the “happy hunt- ing: grounds." After due consideration the HAZEL‘CJREST philosopher has con~ clude that Ed Wynn should be un— der the other; not on it. Dr. J. Ruhinal‘l Pinkus wants it known that Virginia is not his best girl.

We believe BROTHER WINSTON must. be responsible for the latest sign (in £ch wall of that pencil push- m‘s‘ paradise. It wants, “This is a lion, not a. petition; no signal. turbo needed." PETER PAUL POLKO, the fam- ous designer from Lyons (Illinois, not France). says, "Some girls show tinctly ?—~in their clothes. According to brother Bow Swan- son of our own fire department, “Pombmvlty is just around the cor— her." The peace was disturbed in junior mach. lab. the other day when AL KULPAK proceeded to bathe his eye in Lt stream of water from the tricky valve on the pressure gauge.

An unknown student stated the other day that Walter Bentley was once on time to his eleven-thirty class. No one believed him. The University of Alabama Shiv dent publication describes the evolu~ tion of a. college man as follows: Freshman: Embarrassed silence. Sophomore: I don't know. Junior: I’m not prepared.
