Yale has its bulldog, Ole Miss its Colonel Reb and now the DeSoto staff is proud to present Memphis State ' s Timothy Tiger. Tim just walked into the DeSoto office one day and said, Look, I ' ve been around here for quite a while now and I think it ' s time I got a little recognition. When he told us his story we decided he was right and now we ' d like to relate it to you. Timmy told us one day he was aimlessly strolling through the campus, coming from nowhere and going nowhere. His attention was attracted by a long line of people, and being a firm believer a line always leads to something ultimately desir- able, he joined that line. This line led to another, and he found himself proceeding through a series of lines. And the first thing he knew a big fellow with a M on his sweater clapped a little blue cap on Tim ' s head and tugged a dollar from his reluctant hands. It was then Tim realized he had just enrolled in college. From that first day life has been a series of hardships for our unfortunate feline. For instance, Timothy often finds himself frustrated by the unavoidable situation of having so many extra-curricular activities that his school work is a constant inter- ference. His math teacher has had to caution him more than once about concen- trating on the wrong figures. And his course load is so heavy that often he finds it difficult to spend more than four hours a day in the Den. But no matter how busy he is, our betailed pal always finds an opportunity to stroll over and relax with his friends. In fact, he often gets so relaxed he completely forgets to go to classes.
