There are about eighty copies of the Somhrero subscribed for and not yet taken. It is absolutely necessary that all these should be taken. Each de linquent should make it a point as well as a matter of honor to take the full number for which he has sub scribed. The business managers have been unable to meet their obligations, let alone receiving anything for their trouble. This should be attended to at ance. To the new students The Hesperian wishes to give a few words of advice. In the first place do not put yourself forward. It is always better to re main somewhat backward at first. Leave those that have had years of experience to take the initiative. If you have any admirable qualities or peculiar char acteristics that fit you for any special work, you friends will soon find it out. Those of you that au destined to become leaders in college affairs will eventually find your places.

This is a question The Hesperian wishes to ad vise you to consider well before you determine your course. Do not permit one of those "smooth, nice fellows" to "pull the wool over your eyes" and make you believe the secret societies are such wond erful inventions. If you will only watch his course jfprocedure from an unprejudiced standpoint he :ertainly will disgust you. A fraternity is a society into which students of wealth only are asked to come. That is the only requisite. If you have lots of money uid wear good clot lies you will make a first-class .at. If iii have lots of money to .spend; jf you are
