Compton's .5... By John K. Morrison Some very interesting rules to be followed by freshmen have been form~ ulated and are being enforced at South Dakota State college. Some of these are as follows: 1. A green can must be worn. 2. No member of' the freshman class is allowed to date anyone except juniors and seniors. 3. No member of the freshman class may chew gum during initiation. 4. No smoking on the campus. 5. Freshman girls must not use cosmetics and freshman boys must wear ties during initiation period. 6. When greeting an upperclassman, frosh must say, “How do you do”! 7. Every member of the freshman class must be able to recite or sing,r the chorus of the college song. 8. No monograms or insignia of Any member failing to obey these lated by a student committee. Some good ideas!

They did, however, have to my for the tickets and all incidental expenses.

Bunion pads are the favorite surgical dressings of the Creighton university football squad. Under a new rule it is not necessary to possess a high school diploma in order to enter classes at the University of Chicago.

Dear Editor: At last the New Deal has reached our exclusive publication. I am re— ferring to the excellent editorial in last week’s News. It has always seemed to me that a fellow with literary ability, but With- out the proper fraternity connec— tions, was just wasting his time and talents in aspiring to a responsible position on the Cycle. This is a con— dition which should be extremely dis- tasteful to every Armour student. It certainly is an abuse of the privilege 01' self-government granted by the faculty. There is an old saying which tells that every evil in time will de— stroy itself. Last year’s issue was de- cidedly inferior to the two previous ones. Let us hope that the present ad- ministration will stop the downhill trend. Let us also hope that they will realize how unfair they are to them-- selves and the remainder of the school by discouraging new men who desire to work for a. position on their pub- lication. Allow me to congratulate you on your editorial and to say that I am heartily in accord with it.. We are all proud of' our yearbook, therefore we feel that it should be above the influ~ ence of any petty politics, I do not want to appear as a chronic knocker, but I feel that it is time this situav tion was put out in the open before the entire student body.

Dear Editor: Your editorial of October 2 points out that either the general student body is not enough interested in par- ticipating, in the school publications, or that selection of personnel is not properly controlled.

A varied array of speakers from the several fields of" engineering are pre- sented at these meetings. Speakers on other subjects are also secured from time to time. Recently Dean II. T.
