CONTEMPORARY OPINION
"TO THOSE THAT HATH
Many of us have nardships or at
. . i i..u;n3 fVlr
least we think Uiey are naiuu.i-.
allowances are too small, we have to
work to stay in school," the profes
sors are partial and expect more work
from us than they should, or we didn't
rate a house party when we thought we
deserved one. True, these are some of
the distinct disadvantages of our uni
versity life, and it would be a whole
lot easier if we were out in the world
at a desk earning our one hundred
per.
How many of us are dissatisfied with
many of the things we feel would be
much better if only we could change
them?
Perhaps our lot will seem a great
deal easier if we only knew some of
the real hardships that our fellow
students are up against.
Yesterday afternoon a group of men
were standing near the east entrance
of U hall. Toward them came a chap
that was patiently feeling his way
toward the building with a can. He
was blind and his progress was
watched with interest. The sympathy
of every man in the group went out to
the splendid chap that is so handi
capped while trying to get a college
education. At last he located the steps
and climbed them. As he passed the
group of men standing there, they all
became silent for the boy was hum
ming. It was a lesson that no one in that
group will ever forget. This fellow was
happy in his work and he showed it,
for while oblivious to the world of sun
shine about him, he was expressing his
inmost feelings with a popular tune.
How many of us would have the grit
and courage to do what he is doing?
How many of us would be able to give
inspiration to the people we meet if
we were in his condition?
CUSTOM.
Custom is a great factor in the lives
of most people. It is seldom that we
deviate from these well laid out paths
which our forefathers have struggled
to make for us. The American people
especially, are often inclined to explore
new by-ways, to use new methods and
to create new fashions of their own,
but always, in the end, they revert in
stinctively to the age-old habits of
humanity and civilization.
In the University, from the year of
its founding, have arisen certain cus
toms and tradil ions things which if
abolished now, would seem like the 1osr
of the very spirit of the school.
Our whole lives are built upon the
underlying principle of custom and
centered about traditions, honored and
beautiful to us. Struggle as we may
at the yoke of our bondage custom
it is very often that we are only to re
lieved to find this restricting, but never
theless firm foundation upholding our
efforts.

caution, and caution is always the sym

The sophomore has vast reservoirs
filled with special information which
would mean nothing to a person more
than twenty-four years of age. Alternat
ing with these crowded -compartments
are roomy open spaces which are ap
proximately vacuums.
It is a marvel that he who dawdles
should know so much. Also it is a never-ending
miracle that one who spends
so many hours in claj?s-room could have
at his command such abysmal reaches
of ignorance.
Those who profess contempt for the

we cannot have a contempt for those of
!whom we are deathly afraid.

MY DATE.
Did you ever date with Walker Dye?
Then take my advice and don't.
If he ever asks for another date
Take it from me, I won't.
His feet are too big, but he thinks he
can dance
He thinks that your feet are the floor
He never missed once at the dance
last night
I'm sure I don't crave anymore.
Why, girl, my feet are a field of corns
And they're swollen to heat the band.
1 feel like a fool who's walked all day
With her slippers full of sand.
And my brand-new pumps, the satin
ones
That I bought to match my brown
re ruined and shapeless, and no good
at all,
With even the heels run down.
And he told me he hoped he could see
me again!
But I couldn't even grin.
And I felt when I hit the hay last
night
How awful that dance had been.
The next time a man tries to give me
a bid,
I'll ask for credentials first.
For the man who can't dance and who
thinks that he can
Of all awful dates is the worst.
When you want a date Tor a dance, my
dear
Be careful what man you take.
Experience will teach you as nothing
else can
How dreadful are feet that ache.

CHEWING THE RAG.
How foolish I am with the thing!
that
I prize!
I will waste a whole hour at play.
I know that such is very unwise,
For dearly I've oft had to pay.
The final exams will be before long,
And it really does'nt pay to fail.
Of course, I could say, 'I dont give a
song!'
But that's missing the head of the
nail
Which there was a- young hound on
the campus last night,
As I walked by all alone;
And ho chewed ans ?,e chewed at
something white.
I thought it was merely a bone.
When I looked, 1 paw it was the Rag
All folded up like a stick.
This goodly script, I saw nim tirag,
And chew, and bite, and lick.
I dove for the hound, yet he was up
and away.
Clutching it tight with his teeth,
And then I ran ran till my hal:
turned gray;
And I stopped to rest -aid to
breathe.
Five spaces away the animal lay
And chewed and thewe I and
chewed;
Anil roguishly grinned ns if to say,
"You'll never take my choice food."
Then I went and supped at tbo Tem
ple of food,
Soon again passing by that. way.
And I saw that the hound still thought
it was good.
And lustily chewed and was gay.

NELSON SPEAKS TO
COMMERCIAL CLUB
Two hundred members of the uni-
versitv commercial club heard jui,.
Nelson, president of tne National Re
tail Credit Men's association, deliver
a speech on "Credit Managership of
Today."
Mr. Nelson took a very active part
in influencing the legislature to pass
the bill that made the '.college of
business administration a distinct col
lege of the university. He explained
the reasons for his efforts by saying
that business men realize the value
of a business education. Business
education is the most valuable im
material capital that the nation can
possess. The knowlesge of teaching
is very valuable in its place but not
in the business world.
Mr. Nelson described wholesale and
retail credit problems. The whole
sale credit men have their national
organization so that they can co-op
erate with each other in the granting
of credit to retail stores.
The retail men also have a na
tional organization of which Mr. Nel
son is the president. He points out
that the problems that arise from re
tail credit are much more difficult
than the problems arising from whole
sale credit.
The meeting " closed with reports
from all the chairmen i tne different
committees.
The club is planning to sponsor a
"Bizad" day to be held sometime this
month. The college of business ad
ministration will attend the football
game in a body Saturday, wearing
their loyal Bizad caps.
