Foilowing in an extract from a letter from John Bugbee. who is attending college in Texas: I am here in this ''Gud-ft:u'5aikenH place going to the Agricultural gchool. I have just been here a month. but it seems year: since I left Long each. The first two weeks of my college life here were the most unplealant that I have ever experienced. and I hope wiil ever experience. The Freshmen here are eailed Fish by the upper classmen. We Fish furnished enter- tainment for the whole gang. I. for one. had to sing. dance. make a speed! on prohibition. pray and yell. After our studien begun in earnest. the hazing stopped. In the mess hall. however. we are still made to realize that we are 55h. Any upper classman is privileged to take a Fish's dessert whenever he wishea it. It is needless to say he wishes it whenever the tiessert is good. I like my studies here line. excluding Physics, but I hate the military part of this college. This gun work and drilling simply kills me 0H. have to take English here. though. of course. i don't need it. U expect you believe meJ I am so glad that the Poly High is such a success.

EhLETlW-J The other day. while 813Min8 through the exchanges from other schools. I noticed a paper entitled the Booster. Nat thinking that I would End anything of interest I carelessly glanced it over. A cartoon on the front page attracted my eye. In that drawing there was the atlongelt appeal to the students of a school that I have ever seen. It showed students represented in Ihe various feats of the athletic activities. and in glaring head-Iines at the top was this appeal: For the sake of your school. are you not interested in one of these activities? Below the cartoon was a short appeal or call no aelion for the eo-opcratian of the students. The students in our school could well stop and think for a few moments upon this question. Isn't there somelhing I could do to aid my school? There is a great deal you can do. :tudenli. and the loaner you realize it the better for your managers. who are striving so hard to make things 30. The sly voiced by your leaders is: More men out for plactice. The teams need you, the school want: you. and it is for your good that you go out. In the State University a! Wisconsin all students are compelled to take part in same fOIm of outdoor sports. According to the President of the University. it has put new life into the student: and they really do appreciate the various athletic sports. What do you think about it. students. do you agree with this man? You. as a student body. have aupported foot-buli in grand style. See to it that you support the other aetivitiel in the same rousing spirit. Pasadena. Lon Angela and San Diego 118V: their big showsn each year. but have nothing to compare to our Track Carnival. It i: the big event of the year. This year it will be held on the night of Dec. 8. in the Audi- torium on the Pier. It is a grand rally by and int Ihe students. T; C. DE CDUdI'BS. 'rhxrtyrlwa
