k$sxsxxxtxmmmm THE COLLEGIAN gemxemmxsxxxxxw because he looked just like Joe. and too. his getup fostered the likeness. None other than a college man. or should I say a collegiate, could have walked the length of that restaurant in Monmouth as unconcernedly and as nonchalantly as did loe College in that putrid green plaid shirt of his. wearing big red wooly earmufts, a little green baseball cap and brown jersey gloves. I've never seen a so-called hick look as hayseedish as Ice looked walking down that aisle. and yet he walked with the proud tossed head and light step of a young Ellyio: even Mrs. Roosevelt. His self assurance came from his being thoroughly and genuinely collegiate. Then there was the fellow who hitch-hiked home from school Easter vacation because he wanted his college life to be the full flower, His father picked me up along the road. gave me a lift for which I was very grateful. and told me about his collegiate son who was turning down two rides in order to have the hitch-hiking experience. He was doing it on the sly because his grandfather. apparently of the old school. said that no grandson of his would ever hitch-hike. Yes sir , his dad told me. Bill wants to get everything Out of College that. there is to get : and thaths the old spirit that will do the trick of making you collegiate. Be not the first to try the new nor yet the last to throw the old away . is a good motto for those oi a conservative nature but if you want to be collegiate, that is if you want to be conspicuous to the point: where you no longer appear ridiculous. then follow the motto of the collegiate. The new is all too Old: we'll make a way of our own . Dr. Mary Wilson. famous dietitian. says that baby-faced girls make plump wives. horse-faced girls can't cook. and red-haired girls shouldn't eat onions. :I The fellow who said that a billiard player gets married because he lit: likes to bill and cue was just hanged. thank you.
