Badger Clubs In Snow College, clubs form no small pari in the social life of the students. There are three types of clubs, departmental, honorary and regional, numbering seven in all. Each has its own specific motive to carry out. The Snow College system of clubs has passed through the various stages of development as have clubs elsewhere. A club is not maintained unless it is serving the purpose for which it was organized. As the need for new clubs is felt, they are instituted The following clubs, the complete rosier of active clubs, arc discussed from various angles: The “S” club consists of students who have gained, by participation in extra-curricular activities, the right to wear the official block “S.” In the club are twenty-one active members from former years, while sixteen new ones were initiated this year. The S’’ club has conducted a successful program this year, under the direction of Ray I. Johansen, Xell Caffall, Meeks Halladay and William T. Mathie. They sponsored the annual beard growing contest and presented their compcti'.ive program in the assembly May 11. The Arnica dub is Snow’s co-ed club. Its membership consists of all the girls of the college. This year, the club has completed a very active program, under the leadership of its officers. Louise Fowles, Shirley Ogden, Faye Rigby. Julia Modcen, Grace Blackham and Eva Olsen. The chief aim of the club is to conduct a program to provide a tine type of social life among the girls. They have the sister plan whereby the sophomore girls have freshman lasses as little sisters, acquainting them with the ways of college. To do this, the girls have held regular monthly meetings and have held two luncheons, a leap year program and assembly. a co-ed day program and a competitive assembly.

On Nothing: By ROBERT FUNK About the most difficult task I can think of is the writing of an informal essay. It is an easy matter to scribble together a few words, but when those words are supposed to be arranged in a logical, and yet interesting manner, upon almost any subject, the task joins that category of problems known as “hard.” In the first place, that almost any subject” has to be limited to only one, and that one must be upon something with which you are thoroughly acquainted”—so thoroughly acquainted that you can write it with wit and fluency. All this is quite true, but if you have no such subject, what then? I have run the entire gamut of possible topics for informal essays, and as yet, I have found no Inspiration. Of course, having nothing to write upon. I could choose that as a subject, but whoever heard of nothing as a subject for an essay? Still, if I am to write an essay, I must have some sort of topic, and as nothing is as good as something, in this case, it is the subject with which I shall attempt to show that I am well qualified to join that immortal band of workers known as willing but useless authors.” There is something fascinating and yet ominous about that word nothing and the things associated with it. For instance, my teacher gave me about a half dozen clean sheets of paper and then told me to answer some questions which were written upon the blackboard. I pondered over those questions for a few moments and then began answering them as rapidly as I could. After writing for an hour, I succeeded In filling each sheet with some well-spaced words. I handed my paper in and then confidently waited for the ICO per cent such a paper should receive. Days linked themselves together to form a processional chain before my teacher saw fit to return my paper. I looked all over that paper Inside and out— but found nothing. With heated Indignation. I took my paper to the teacher and asked for my grade, and when he said that I had received nothing, I became fully convinced of the liberality of teachers in giving nothing. Nothing does not only plague me in my lessons, but I also find it everywhere I go. Hats, heads, door knobs, apples, and eyes all present that non-cornered square, which Is the sign of nothing. Even my sleep Is troubled by nightmares of nothing. I go to bed and dream that I am a king, a hero, a scientist, or an inventor; but since these are only dreams built from my imagination, they are really nothing. But my sleep is not always troubled with dreams, for often I have tired myself so completely with the day's activities that I fall into a void so deep, so like death, that only one word can explain it nothing. In geography I learned that the earth is round, and in algebra I received conclusive proof that a curved line ending in itself stands for nothing. That being the case. I must be living on a world of nothing: but if I am. then I am nothing, which is impossible: and so I am left In a controversy with the left half of my brain debating with my right over nothing. However, I have one consolation; if I am nothing, my fellow bipeds arc also nothing. When I came to this conclusion in my reasoning, I decided to put It to a test. I have a very antagonistic enemy. Every day he manages to make my life miserable in some way or another—hence I received the happy thought of using him to prove my theory on nothing. The next time I saw him, I did not give him the opportunity to pester me instead, I walked up to him and then put all my force behind my right fist, which was aimed In the general direction of his head. The blow landed all right and Mr. Enemy stretched his form on the sidewalk. All that was as it should lx ; but instead of proving to lx nothing, he proved to be something as my battered frame and a hospital bill show. This was rather a set back to my reasoning: however, I wasn't wholly discouraged. I re-checked my reasoning and then tried various other experiments to prove its validity. I stuck pins in myself, I pounded on doors. 1 kicked trees, and I leased animals. In every case, I fount my reasoning to be at fault, since each experiment proved nothing to be something. And so, looking at it from all sides and from all conceivable angles, I am sure that to make this world safe and sane nothing” must be eliminated from it. To do this, all great scientists, religionists, mediclsts, economists. sociologists and teachers should be called together to hold a council on how to rid the world of nothing. Think of the history, the inventions, and the arguments that would arise from a meeting on nothing. Worlds would be created, conquered, and destroyed; space would be used up; and man made infinite in his greatness— which of course, would be nothing. It would be safe to say nothing in such a meeting and yet to keep on the subject— in fact, it would be a inecca for the deaf and dumb, for they would be able to talk and hear about nothing without altering their condition. Animals, men, children, and women could get along in perfect harmony at a meeting on nothing and thus it would carry over into the animal world, but also into the only-here-for-a-minute abodes of the humans. Thus peace would descend upon the earth, carrying for its banners, peace, prosperity, and happiness. All this would be from nothing, and hence the results obtained would be nothing, resulting in a cycle; for one would have to start again at the beginning, which was nothing, and so would continue to be nothing until somebody could have the happy inspiration to call nothing something,” and thus cause the world to run on in its usual way.
