I x li I i I l f I K .' 1 L of e 'ij ! :' Y x . 4' fEdiled by fcrome K. Smith., Questions on fine points of college politics answered. Punk: ls there any way in which I can improve my carriage? Answer: What you have is not a carriage, but an ice wagon. G. Leggett: ls it proper to throw chalk in the Library? Answer: No, throw books or chairs. lVlcGrew: When is the best time to make dates? Answer: When least liable to be turned down. Burton: When a young lady makes a leap-year call, should you press her to remain? Answer: Ask Bruce Findlay. I-le has had unlimited experience along that line. - A Freshman: I am trying to get through college as comfortably as possible. Will you please put me next to a few little guide posts on the path of peace! Answer: Dont :be too quiet in the library or you will be called down. When you meet a Sophomore remove your hat and apologize for living. Keep off the grass. Don't fuss another fellow's girl if he isibigger than you are. Blanche: How shall I comb my hair? Answer: Don't bother to comb it. The artistically careless fashion you have adopted heretofore is quite fetching. ' Sandy: Tell me some real cute and original ways in which a crowd of four could have their pictures taken. Answer: After investigating your previous poses I find it impossible to contort the human body and household furniture into a new combination. Myrtle: Can you give me some suggestions for my spring wardrobe? Answer: Brown veils borrowed from the faculty ladies are fashionable for the head. There will be new styles in shirt waists which cannot be borrowed from your room-mate. An Outsider: What is the use of a college yell? Answer: Its uses are varied. According to James' theory of emotions, it fos- ters college spirit. At night it indicates the location of a good time. At a track meet or ball game it serves as a safety-valve for pent-up enthusiasm. 86

Wlio is that boy I see? What is he do-ing here? Oh yes, he is a col-lege boy. I-le's in his Fresh-man year. He seems so ve-ry big. Is he big-ger than the rest? Oh yes, he is so ve-ry great That he al-most splits his vest. Will he next year not feel so great? Will his head next year grow small? Oh no, he'll be a Soph'-more then And feel above them all. What made him come so far to school? What is he here to do? He wish-ed to learn, and also show The profs a thing or two. Did he show the profs that he was wise? Oh no, he gave them pain. He knew so lit-tle that they sighed And said, Poor ver-dant thing. Is he a very peace-ful boy? And does he never fight? Oh no, he some-times lights the Sophs And takes their socks by might. He likes to go on browses, too, He took some grub along, He made the woods re-echo, With yells and col-lege song. I-le makes mis-takes quite of-ten, too, He walks a-cross the grass, He stumbles on the buck-brush And of-ten cuts his class. His fu-ture life is all mapped out, He will a Jun-nior beg We have no fears since that is true, A luc-ky man is he. 88
