PLAY YOUR TRUMPS
This is the time of year for students to be taking inventories of
heir scholastic stock. Although the end of the semester presses
,iard. there is yet opportunity to stop and think, and .worry a bit.
Check up on your work and find out if your balance is on the debit
or credit side of the column. Have you been wasting your time
and neglecting your studies? How many "conditions" and "incom
pletes" will the Dean chalk up against you? Are you going to come
in strong at the finish or will you come in dragging a ball and chain
at your heels? Perhaps you have run a poor race along the first
of the course, and at the rate you are going will bring up the rear
of the race. A plucky runner always makes a game finish. Take a
deep breath and come in strong at the tape.
A word with your professor today may save some "hours" that
will otherwise be lost Professors are pretty good fellows if you
get to know them; in fact, they are the most congenial sort, if you
play square with them and show them that you really open your
;ext now and then, and are even a little interested in their course. A
ittle diplomacy works wonderfully well if it is sincere. The per
sonal equation is certain to have an effect upon the figure that the
professor sets down in his grade book at the end of the semester.
Close attention in the class room, regularity of attendance, serious
effort on daily work, and an appearance of intelligence, have weight
in determining the final grade, whether the -professor means to have
it so or not.
With less than two weeks left, there is yet time to play your
trump cards. For those who are in good standing, no word is
necessary, other than to say that you should keep well to the front
of the race, and finish with flying colors. For those who are behind
and delinquent, it is necessary to buckle down and "hit 'em hard."
Let's all buckle down and follow that old proverb which says, "it's
never too late to mend."
IS YOUR NOSE SKINNED?
I iid you ever hear of species oi individual known by the de
scriptive name grind? If not we are here to tell you that a grind Is
a person who is very active in sending his coll-ee 10 ihe region of
vast oblivion. There are very few of them ai nur good old college
as is proved by the fact that it is so good lm for ihe benefit of
Those who are inclined to cram the inside o! their social spirit
atrophies, we are moved to say that our college is kept alive in spite
of the grinds, not by their help. If a college were full of men and
women whose only aim in life was to land E's ihe school would go
out with ihe present Freshman class. Loads of knowledge will ont
tur ihe trick, you've got 1o know how to unload your knowledge.
That takes a lot of work for fair! You cannot sit busily cram
ming all ihe time and learn how to do things. You must do them.
You must meet and mix with olher individual of the same species. If
you cannot find a bigger job than keeping the track clean, volunteer
for that. You'll get in with the workers by so doing and will leain
how 10 meet leaders on a common ground. Every one will like you
lote more too and your efficiency will greatly increase, for an unliked
person cannot be efficient. If you are exceedingly brilliant you may
still pull an E but if you are not, why it's been figured out tnat the
variety will make a better man of you; so keep at your ouside work.
Get a book for after dinner speakers and develop a sense of
humor if you have not already gotten one. If you get paddled don't
deliver an oration from the top of the boiler. Find the thing in
our character that the folks object to and dig it out and cast it from
thee.
Theie is no need to give up a moral conviction, but perhaps you
will need a little broader outlook on life than you before have had.
Well! what I wanted to say was this. Do not study too much.
You come to college to learn to be a being of improved social per
sonality. Then you will need to mingle with people, to serve them
to do for others and not to take all the privileges that those who
work for the college give, and do nothing yourself.
Thvu tlier's the other fellow who goes to all the dances and has
a jolly good time while his books grow spider webs. You are no
better tban the grind. Some mental elbow grease smeared over the
books will prove a sure cure for spider webs and will make a man
out of you. Get busy, both of you and be an average student

DAILY DAIRY RHYMES

Gayle Vincent Grubb
DAIL DIARY RHYMES
Theft Is considered a pathway to
crime
Which pathway Is deep In the annals
of time;
The culprit, society scorns as It should
For the world's bad enough when It
ought to be good,
And yet I've a fact that I'm ordered
to spill
So being thus ordered I feel that I
will
And may he or she whom this bit
lights their shame
See their error and frankly admit
they're to blame.
Now flowers are grown for their
beauty and scent
The same as apartments are built for
their rent
Hut to pluck what is others is theft
after all
And betokens a soul that is plumb
full of gall
For the lilacs that grow on the campus
I"U say
Were not grown to be used as a
corsage bouquet
By some dame who has happened to
pass close by
Whose fragrance and beauty has
tickled her eye.
Now what do you think of a woman
or man
Who has joined this crusade as a
sort of a fan
To steal from the campus its beauty
and grace
Which attitude, friends, is a bit out
of place
And I say cut the habit and grow up
a bit
For this robbin' of lilacs is pretty
bum wit
And I'm backin" this up with a right
smart hunch
By includin' the lady that picked me
a bunch.
