N ' ' A -' Om' Street Car M avmers There is no place so well suited to observe the actions of people as the back end of a street car. From this position one can sec thc length of the car and observe the actions of the passengers. - One day l boarded a street car and purposely went to this vantage point in order to observe my fellow passengers. The car stopped at the next block to allow a big, heavy set, well-dressed man to get on. l-lc dropped thc fare into the hand of the conductor and took a seat next to an undcrsized, thin, and meek-looking individual. Hc then took a newspaper from his pocket and pro- ceeded to stretch the paper out in order to read it. One hand, holding the paper, was extended directly in front of the meek individual's nose, and the elbow was resting' on his shoulder- The meek individual gave the big, heavy set man a nervous glance, and then turned his face toward thc window for the rest of the journey- Directly behind the man who was reading the paper, an eager sport fan stretched his neck to twice its normal length to scan, over the reading man's shoulder, the results of the day's baseball games. Just then a college shi-ik jumped on, and after flashing his pass, took a seat and sprawled out on it, with his feet in the aisle and his head on the back of the seat. The school teacher opposite him gave him a sharp glance and smiled. At the next stop a middle aged man boarded the car, and, after showing his pass, dropped in a seat and fcll asleep. While he was dozing, his hat fell to the floor. He was unconscious of that fact, until he reached up to take off his hat in order to scratch his head. His groping hand found no hat to take off. Opening his eyes, he 'noticed the grins on the faces of the people around him, and at the same time cspicd his hat some distance down the aisle. Glaring at thc giggling spectators, he arose and procured his hat. For the rcst of the journey he sat stitlly erect in his scat, with his hat fixed firmly on his head. Since it was neces- sary that I get oti' at the ncxt stop, I discontinued my observations and departed from the car. WALTPIR CARLSON, '28.

The S turlent Study makes a bright student, inattcntion makes a poor student, and irre- sponsibility makes an indif'i'erent student, and, therefore, if a student does not study, he must be very brilliant to know what he does not, if he be atten- tive he has xx chance to know what he docs not, and if he be responsible, he will come to know what hc docs not. EARL BUTLER. The Blain The life of a man kind toward humanity, is bright and full, the life of a man cruel toward humanity, baneful and violent, and the life of a man in- Page Seventeen

' The Woods in A utufnm lVhcn Summer's waning days have passed, And lVintcr's drawing near, And Mother Nature's in her last Bright costume of the yearg VVhen days are warm and nights are crisp And frost is on the shocks, And lovers of the sweet nut frisk To hickory groves in fiocksg lVhen saddened ones find solace In the wood's majestic rooms, And, lured by Beauty, poets Hold communion with her forms, lvhen glowing waves of wooded hills Give lustre clllorescent, And sunny glens and hidden dales A savory essence pleasantg VVhen trees areydipped in gold and blood And draped in gowns of cheer, Go thou, my friend, into the woods, For Autumn Time is here. 110623 Etiquette VVhat is etiquette? That seems to bc the burning question for some of us, and I am sure there are a few of us who have never heard of such a thing. Mary, cast your orbs on that boy who is eating his potatoes with his knife and cramming his mouth full of bread at the same time. Imagine it! Wlhy, it's positively nauseating. lt's enough to make one wish to dive down in the soup bowl and stay under, said an exceedingly pretty girl, who, although she had the rules of ctiquette well in mind, was not above using slang. For, said she, I find it so very expressive. Page Nineteen-
