No. l Not Tomorrow With the opening of school, studies and pro- gram difficulties come to the fore, pushing extra- curricular activity into the column of thoughts headed: “Things to be attended to soon.” This is not a serious condition of affairs in it- self, but, as too often is the case, such thoughts remain thoughts until a time when the maximum amount of benefit can no longer be derived from participation in some kind of student activity. It has been demonstrated time and again that excellence in studies alone does not adequately prepare one for a successful life, nor does out side activity alone either, but if it is desired to get the most out of what is available, the best course would naturally be to get the correct bal- ancc of both. The student body and faculty members offer their sincere sorrow to the family of Robert D.

Yet only a sur— prisingly small proportion of the student body actively participate in student affairs. Many can not do so, but of those who do enter into ath- letics, musical clubs, publications, class affairs, and clubs, such as radio, chess and camera, some do not get the most out of activities, for the rea— son that they do not get the earliest possible start. i One of the best attributes of student activity is the spirit of cooperation with one’s fellow" workers which the student experiences, but an— other strong point of these organized groups is the training in leadership which some of the par- ticipants get. This training is obtained by those who get into the organization in their first year and stick with it for four years. Naturally they become the leaders. So. let‘s not put off activities too long! GUEST EDETURlAL To the Explorers Welcome into a new world, Freshies, new sur— roundings, new faces and new ideas. You will find it a pleasant world. Get acquainted. The people behind the new faces are friendly and eager to lend a helping hand. Imbibe the spirit of the school. The school is yours—use it to your best advantage. Take part in extra curricular activities. We are looking forward to the same sort of frank enthusiasm that freshmen have always shown. At all times freshmen have been divorced from that type of balsé cynicism that sometimes becomes identified with upper classmen. Fresh—l man fervors should not be curbed! Support the' athletic teams! Yell the loudest at the games. Be conscientious about your scholastic duties. But above all, remember you are only “Bennics‘Y and should be the meekest in the beanery line.

Mr. Norman Root, Armour track; coach and a faculty member of Phil Pi Phi was elected vice-president of the national chapter of the fraternity Y this summer. We hope for the speedy recovery of brother Dick Vandekieft following ‘ his knee operation at Henrotin hos- l pital last Friday. ; The autumn cleaning and redeco-l lrating of the house have progressed quite satisfactorily and will be com- pleted soon.

At the opening of the new school year, all the wandering Pi Kaps have returned with their stories of sum« mer pleasures and experiences. Brother Paul “Tiny“ Hoffman has from all appearances held his own against the scales, possibly because he worked at the Milwaukee Inspec- tion Bureau during the entire sum- mer.

This column, the Tobacco Road of Armour, is conducted for the simple purpose of giving to its readers an- thentic and concise bulletins pertain— ing to people and events that are none of their darn business. In other words, using the vernacular of the Armour student, we ”rat” on yousc guys. The choice bits of “clean" rib- bing are picked out of the “Contrib” box in the main lobby where they are to be placed by you the reader. It is highly imperative that the inn- tcriul be factual. However, many a fellow has been framed into the Shovel . . . and can still be. So, in the spirit of good fellowship, let us all contribute to the Steam Shovel and “rat" upon one another.
