Now when Jacob saw tJjat there was corn in Egypt, Jacob said unto his sons, 'Why do ye look one upon another?’ And he said, 'Behold, I hare heard that there is corn in Egypt. Get yon down thither, and buy for us from thence; that we may lire, and not die.’ And Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy corn in Egypt. —Genesis 41:57. 42:1.2,3.

We had to live for a time on venison, blackberries, and milk, while the men were gone to Egypt to harvest and procure bread stuffs. —Roberson of Arnzville in Chicago Journal, Feb. X 1X72. Since that time Southern Illinois has merited its name Little Egypt not only because of the richness of its soil and the wealth of its natural resources, but also because of its culture and learning which center in our school. ‘Dedication Jsike a right arm lifted towards the sky Iiach Obelisk makes oath their memory shall not die.” (Dedication- ike the ancient Obelisk, that aspired to the heavens, our college stands as a symbol of culture and an emblem of the new growth of Little Egypt.

Students, as they go through college, find many obstacles in their way. However, they soon realize that they, too, have guides who are eager to help them, for on every side are faculty members who are striving to assist them in reaching their goal. President Henry W. Shryock Southern Illinois State Normal University Obtains lull Recognition as a College by North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. (George D. Wham, Dean of Faculty) 0 n Friday morning of last week President Shryock who had just returned from the 1931 meeting of the North Central Association filled the cup of our satisfaction to overflowing with the announcement that the North Central Association had accorded to our school full recognition as a College. We can now rejoice in the possession of a college distinguished by the highest obtainable rating at the hands of each of the three great standardizing agencies: The American Association of Teachers’ Col- leges; the University of Illinois; and the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools—a recognition in very case without deficiencies or conditions, thus placing us beyond the necessity of further inspection. It is especially gratifying to observe that our college is now not only a teachers’ college of first rank as judged by the high standards of the American Association of Teachers’ Colleges, but also a college as judged by the University of Illinois and by the North Central Association. This unique two-fold distinction is due to the fact that we meet not only every requirement of a standardized teachers’ college with respect to professional training, but also every requirement of the liberal arts and sciences college both as to kind and amount of training in prescribed subjects, and the selection and composition of majors and minors. Discerning persons in school and out of school will not be slow to sec the significance of all this. It means that we have a bona fide college of first rank, in consequence of which graduates from our four-year course may know themselves to be as genuinely college graduates as they would be from the course of any other college of whatsoever name or location. It means that graduates of our four-year course arc eligible without question to teach in any North Central High School. It means T wmly-itvcM that graduates of our four-year course can enter without condition or penalty the graduate school of any North Central University and achieve a master’s degree in the major subject in the same time as that exacted from the graduates of the university itself. It means that a student may, if he chooses to do so, transfer at the end of any year to any other college or university without loss of time or credit. It means, in a word, that the status of our college is now such as to be a source of pride to the student who is doing his work here, and a source of prestige to the graduate who asks elsewhere for recognition or preferment. The great achievement involved in obtaining full recognition from the three great standardizing organizations has not come about by accident, or favoritism, or mere superficial manipulation. It has come through the demonstrated development of the school. To effect this development it was necessary to make a multiplicity of changes, among which were the following: the limitation of college enrollment to grad- uates of four-year recognized or accredited high schools; the rigorous separation of high school and college both as to classes and teachers; the increase in the size of the faculty to conform to restrictions as to size of classes and amount of teaching load; the improvement in the scholarship of the faculty to conform to requirements as to academic preparation; additional provision for laboratory floor space and laboratory equipment; the improvement of library facilities both as to size of reading rooms and number and quality of books; the meeting of new requirements as to physical education and health service; the increase in the size of the senior college as to number enrolled and number graduated so as to reduce the disproportion between senior and junior colleges; and the rewriting of our curricula to make them conform to the standards imposed by each of the three standardizing agencies. It has been a difficult road over which President Shryock has had to take the school from where it was to where it now is. It had to be traveled with discouraging handicaps in the persistent lack of money, and often a lack of sympathetic understanding of what we had already accomplished, T wemly-eliltl or would be able to accomplish. It was a road that had to be traveled always by slow degrees from one inspection and classification to another, through the successive removal of conditions that barred the way. Eighteen years ago our college had no assured standing, the graduates from it having to take their chances of recognition on the uncertain basis of judgment elsewhere as to individual merit and work. Five years ago we became a Class B college at the hands of the University of Illinois, which classification meant that our graduates entered the graduate school but with a potential penalty of sixteen hours to be escaped only by a demonstration of superiority. Three years ago we became a Class A teachers college in the American Association of Teachers’ Colleges, but with three deficiencies or conditions. One year ago, having worked off these conditions, we obtained full Class A rating from the American Association. One year ago also we were granted full Class A standing as a liberal arts and sciences college by the University of Illinois, which institution has been throughout our generous and consistent friend. And this year, as announced, we have made the final achievement of full recognition at the hands of the North Central Association. Such magnificent development in the face of difficulties so great has been fundamentally due to the administrative genius of President Shryock —his creative imagination, his skillful, patient, and tireless struggle with untoward circumstance. During eighteen years his work by day and his dreams by night have been directed toward an emergent college that might stand before the world unabashed and without apology. His dream has been realized through the transformation of a normal school into a college—a college of such merit as to arrest the attention and arouse the admiration of informed educators far and near. Nor will he permit progress to cease. Objective standards having been met, his attention now will be turned, as he himself has declared, to the further improvement of the subjective and far subtler conditions that determine teaching efficiency by which the real worth of any college at all times must be measured. —Adapted from the Egyptian of March 25, 19)1.

Wiiam, Dean of Vac � liy) The School Council for the year 1930-31 is composed of the following persons: Faculty members,—George D. Wham, Head of Education Department and Sophomore Adviser, Chairman; Mary M. Steagall, Head of Zoology Department and Senior Adviser; W. T. Felts, Head of Mathematics Department and Junior Adviser; Emma I., Bowyer, Head of English Department and Freshman Adviser; Lucy K. Woody, Head of Department of Household Arts and Dean of Women; Edgar A. Holt, Head of History Department; J. W. Neckcrs, Head of Chemistry Department; Willis G. Swartz, Head of Department of Political Science and Economics. Student members,—Helen Stiff, Secretary, and Rea Winchester, Senior Class Representatives; Georgia Hankla and James Lauder, Junior Class Representatives; Louise Brown and Carl Sneed, Sophomore Class Representatives; Maxine Winchester and Curtis Hill, Freshman Class Representatives. Among the important achievements of this year’s Council arc the following: The creating of the present plan of control of participation in extra-curricular activities; the devising of the present cut system; the financing of the Obelisk and the Egyptian; the asking of the Board of Trustees to authorize the name The Shryock Auditorium” as the official name of our auditorium; the arranging of a two-hour schedule for final examinations; the planning of a time schedule of classes to be used in the summer quarter—all of which, with the approval of the President and the Faculty, have been carried into successful operation. The School Council serves admirably as the administrative meeting point between students and faculty. Composed as it is of eight faculty members and eight student members, the Council is a representative organization to which any student or teacher may submit any suggestion that looks to the good of the school with the assurance that it will receive prompt and impartial consideration.

Overwhelmed, they cried out, The Pyramids!” The way was steep, hut the persevering ones pushed on—from height to height—until at last they reached the top. On entering Junior College we were at first overwhelmed by the tasks confronting ns. But by slow and persevering effort we overcame them all and at last finished our course.

Fie refused to bow to the handicap of size when he first applied for a position in the Maroon lineup. Because he worked hard and accomplished much as a lineman, he was chosen to direct the 19)0 football team; and for this reason he led a championship eleven. Co-Captain Glenn Martin Playing his second year for the Southern Teachers, Abe” Martin easily convinced football fans” that his high school reputation as a field general and ground gainer was deserved. Many of the duties, usually divided among the several backfield men, were this year accomplished by this one man. He kicked, called signals, and gained ground; much of the credit for winning the title must go to Abe” Oat lluuJrtJ Thirty.!wo Out HunJrrJ Thirty.thrtt I.ovai.di Canada Doty T he 1930 Southern Illinois Teachers football team experienced the most successful season in the history of the school’s athletics. Victors for the season, and champions of the Little Nineteen Conference the eleven brought to the institution a prestige unsurpassed by former teams. In but one Conference game were the Maroons scored on and that in the final conflict with McKcndrec. Two hundred seventeen points were amassed by the Southerners while they restricted the opposition to twenty-four. Six of tiic games won by the Teachers were shutout affairs, only three teams, Murray, Cape Girardeau, and McKendrcc being able to cross the Maroon goal line. Recognized by a majority of conference coaches as champions, the team crowned the season’s play by placing two men, Eovaldi and Doty, on the press’ mythical all-star eleven. Martin, One UuuJrrJ Thirty-four Sauf.rwf.in Patton Robertson Swofford, and Canada were given honorable mention. At the close of the season Hairy Canada and Albert Patton were chosen captains of the line and backfield respectively. A night game against the Thoroughbreds of Murray Teachers of Kentucky, furnished the first win of the year. The Maroons featured as their particular punch a smashing drive off-tackle or over-guard. Dago” Eovaldi especially showed up well in ripping through the Murray defense. A passing combination from Martin to Swofford was uncovered and it accounted for two Maroon scores. The final score was 2 5-6, the Thoroughbreds having scored on a fifty yard pass, Mayhew to Brodic. At Cape Girardeau the Southern Teachers aided in the dedication of the new $150,000 Hauck stadium with a 12-6 win over the Indians. Before a grand assemblage One llunJrfJ Thirty-ftvt Fox Foley McKinnis composed of the elite of two states, the Maroons ran rough shod over the Cape eleven. A major portion of playing time, the ball was in the possession of the Carbondale players who twice worked their way down the field to score. Featuring the game were the two blocked punts by Hippo” brown and bob” Doty. Only in the last few minutes were the Southerners really threatened. With but four minutes to play, the Indians wrought a very effective aerial attack that netted their lone touchdown and promised another which failed by feet. The win over S.I.T.C.’s strongest rivals was especially pleasing since it kept the record established by the Maroons in not losing to the Missourians in the last six years. With the home game against the Scott Field Aviators the Southerners, inaugurated Our HunJrtJ Thirty.%i Lauder Swoiiord Hodge a string of shutout victories which concluded only with the last game of the season. Combining efficient work in every department of the game the Maroon eleven scored against the Aviators at will. The Scott Field aggregation was composed of experienced players, many of whom were former college celebrities. Shanks of Scott Field especially exhibited ability in his several open field runs. Five men contributed touchdowns to the cause of the Teachers. The final score read 32-0 for the Southern Teachers. Fiomecoming and the initial Little Nineteen Conference game probably prompted the Maroons to handle the old Normal Redbirds with very little care. Before a crowd of loyal celebrating grads and students the Southerners trounced the upstaters 39-0. This was the highest score ever made by a local team in the history of this college’s Oj«.• Ha’uirtJ Tbirly-ttttH Watson Stevens Brown Homecomings. Too, it was the largest score made against the Old Normal eleven in several seasons. The game was fairly close during the first half, but the second period saw a different situation. The Southern Teachers machine worked without flaw during the last half in which 33 points were scored. Interception of wild Redbird passes led to the scoring of most of the Maroon touchdowns. Dago” Eovaldi’s punting featured the game with his spirals averaging 5 5 yards; he kept the Redbird attack at bay and forced them on the defensive. The Maroons met and vanquished perhaps the scrappiest team in the conference when they won over the Irish of St. Viator, 12-0. From beginning to end the game was a tussle. Although outclassed, the Irish made their forward wall impregnable chiefly Off Hundred Thirty.einh! Rockwell Storment because of their fighting spirit. Too, the Maroon machine failed to function in the second conference game as it had functioned in the initial one. Abe” Martin, cocaptain, was absent from the Teachers’ lineup which further handicapped the scoring possibilities of the Southerners. Foley and Patton, both backs, were injured and consequently removed from the game. The brunt of the battle fell on the shoulders of Dago” who bore it well. It was his excellent punting that kept the Irish always on the defensive. Eovaldi and Lauder counted the Teachers’ two touchdowns. In a return game played on the home field the Maroons inflicted a second and more decisive defeat on the Cape Girardeau Indians. The score was 19-0. At no time during the game were the Southerners threatened by the much heavier team from the Missouri State Teachers College. Although the Maroons were tardy in starting their offensive, they soon developed a punch that was not to be denied. Even after misjudging a punt, Lauder distinguished himself by turning in one of the prettiest runs of the season. Abe” Martin sailed around end for two of the S.I.T.C. touchdowns, and Dago” Eovaldi accounted for one marker on a crash through center. Displaying a sweeping interference and an amazing aerial attack, the Maroons defeated ShurtlefT at the Shurtleff Homecoming, 32-0. It was probably the best played game of the season for the Southern Teachers. Working as a machine they went around, under, and over for five touchdowns while holding ShurtlefT to no score and few first downs. The Maroons were forced to punt but twice during the melee. Touchdowns came from long runs by Martin, and short line smashes by Eovaldi. Brickcr also counted on a long pass from Dago” in the waning moments of the game. The game which eventually decided the championship of the Conference was played One HunJreJ Thirty-nine against the Charleston Panthers on the Carbontlalc Field. The thoughtlessness of a Panther punter who stepped out of the end-zone just as he prepared to kick from behind his own goal line gave the decision to the Southerners, 2-0. However, the battle was all Carbondalc. Twice the Charleston goal line was crossed, once by Dago” and once by Martin, but the efforts did not count. Both teams played the game of their careers. After getting the two point advantage early in the game. Captain Martin crawled into a shell and refused to experiment with any trick plays during the remainder of the contest. Keeping the Panthers ir. their own territory the Southerners held tenaciously to the thread of a lead given them by Hana, the upstate punter. Three times the Maroons were within Charleston’s 15 yard line and not once were they able to develop a scoring punch. Only once did the Panthers get the 3 5 yard stripe defended by the Maroons and then the Panthers lost the ball on downs. After the game both teams remained with their goal line uncrossed in conference competition. In the final game of the year the Maroons ran rough shod over the McKendrcc Bearcats, running up a score of 44-12. The battle was a more one-sided affair than had been predicted by the dopesters. Southern scored at will and with all manner of plays. On the first play of the game Martin passed to Patton for a touchdown. The half ended 2 5-6 for the Maroons. It was a brilliant game throughout, and the Bearcats never failed to fight on every play. The victory clinched the Southern Teachers’ claim to the Little Nineteen Championship and ended the most successful season ever enjoyed by a S.I.T.C. football team. The students presented the team with a shield as a recognition of the honor which they brought to the school. The shield bears the record of the games won, the scores and the data concerning the champions of the Little Nineteen. The Carbondalc Junior Chamber of Commerce presented miniature gold foDtballs to each member of the team.

Sir ,, c - 9.1. � • u .i ‘ J (Tirfck Monicai. White Wricht The return of five lettermen of 1930 forecast a more than successful season for the 1930 S.I.N.U. basketball squad, but ineligibility and injury took their toll and the results of the season were mediocre. Passing was well developed yet the team was unable to score consistently. Of those who scored during the season Hiller and Swofford were easily the oustanding performers. A new lad, Bricker, appeared in the line-up at center and performed creditably. Five wins against eleven losses represented the basketball record. The quintet finished well above the lower teams in the Little Nineteen Conference. Six lettermen will return for next year’s season. The yearly game with St. Louis University at St. Louis ended with the Billikins winning by a score of 27-19. Although the Maroons held well until the last quarter, they were forced to admit defeat through the superior teamwork of the St. Louis five. Facing the Terre Haute Teachers on the first game of a road trip, the Southern Teachers were decisively outclassed 43-21. Terre Haute, holding the advantage of longer practice, outpassed and outshot the Maroon quintet. The Hoosiers enjoyed a comfortable lead at the half and never relinquished it. In the last game of the week-end road trip, the Southerners meet the Eastern Teachers at Charleston in the first conference match for both teams. The Panthers managed to win out, 34-26, in the final minutes of the battle on well directed long shots, houls were particularly in evidence. In the opening game of the home season the Southerners nosed out the Arkansas Aggies, 22-20, in a clean and exciting battle decided by Wright s long shot near the One llunJreJ forty-iiX Swopford Brickfr Laudlr end of the game. Although the Aggies led at the half, the Teachers came back with a snappy passing attack that took the measure of the Arkansas five. One of the best teams on the schedule faced the Maroons in the second home game of the season. DePaul University presented a well balanced machine that trampled the Teachers 30-20. Powers, DePaul forward, was too much for the Southerners. The Teachers played a much improved game against their opponents and were on par with the DePaul five with but a few minutes left to play. A charity engagement with the Alumni was the next game on the schedule. The stars of yester-years paraded before the Maroons and handed them a one-point beating, 14-13. Neither team showed shooting ability although the regulars rallied in the final minute of play to make it a close affair. At Cape Girardeau the Southern Teachers came out of their slump to administer a 30-22 drubbing to their traditional opponents, the Cape Indians. An improved game was offered by the Maroons and at no time were they threatened by the Indians’ offensive. Wright found his eye for the hoop, and connected for three baskets in thirty seconds of play in the last half. The Teachers evinced more fight in this game than they had shown during the previous battles of the season. In a thrilling overtime game the Southern five eked out a victory of 32-31 over the Charleston Panthers. With the score tied at the beginning of the final half the Teachers spurted to a comfortable lead only to see the Panthers crawl close to the end. Lauder’s free pitch in the overtime period decided the game. McKendrce proved too much for the Teachers and the Maroons were defeated 26-21. The game was even until the rangy Bearcat star, Hubbell, rolled into action. Oar HuuJttJ t'vr y-iftrn The Southern outfit was still menaced with a decided inability to find the basket. With but a few minutes left, the score was deadlocked at 18 all, but the Teachers could not hold their own. Showing the same fight and spirit that they displayed in the three previous games, the Southerners won over the ShurtlefT Pioneers 53-17, at ShurtlcfT. Playing their third game of the week the Maroons gave Cape Girardeau a second drubbing, 31-19. Showing the same fight which had won for them an early season game, the Teachers easily outscorcd the Missourians, and were never seriously menaced by the Cape. Improved shooting and better passing decided the contest. Two games were dropped by the Teachers on the home floor in the space of four nights. First the Maroons met defeat at the hands of the Gentlemen of Centenary College of Shreveport, Louisiana, 30-25. Then the Murray Teachers romped away with a listless game, the score being 2 5-22. ShurtlefT handed the Southerners their third consecutive defeat, 3 5-28. Leads changed many times during the game and the final outcome was doubtful until the Pioneers went into a shooting spree with but a few minutes of the game left to play. The fourth and fifth losses in succession were suffered on a road trip that included games at Lebanon and at Murray, Kentucky. McKendrec delivered the Southern Teachers a hard blow, the final score reading, 37-27. The Murray Thoroughbreds came from behind and registered their second win of the season over the Maroons. 3 5-31 was the score at the end of the fray. 1931 Stale Teachers College Basketball Tourney The Southern Teachers failed successfully to defend the championship of Illinois State Teachers Colleges won by their 1930 team. This year the Maroons were hosts to three of the Teachers Colleges of the state and the Chicago Normal School of Chicago. Double elimination rules permitted eight games to be played during the tournament. Old Normal, under the coaching of Joe Cogdal, easily won the tourney in straight victories. Out IlnuJrtJ Forl)-rix t TRACK Leland P. Lingle Track Coach Coach Lingle again developed a championship track squad for the spring of 1930. Within five years he has trained two championship teams in the State Teachers College tournaments. He is a graduate of the Southern Illinois State Normal University and is a former student of Director Me Andrew. He has complete charge of track; it is solely through his efforts that S. I. N.

The Maroons won the dual meets of the season; the crowning achievement of the year was the capture of the State Teachers meet at Charleston. The win was a repetition of the work of the 1929 team—both victories accomplished by a twenty point margin. In the first meet of the season—a rather listless affair—the Maroons defeated the Cape Girardeau Teachers 98-3 3. Wright, Bricker, and Watson were brilliant performers. The Southerners placed second in the quadrangle meet of Cape Girardeau, Shurtlcff and McKendrec. The margin of victory held by the Bearcats—81 2 to 52—surprised the strong Maroon entry. The next game was a victory over McKendrec; the score was 67 z to 61 4. In the meet at Peoria, Bricker capturing first place in his specialty—the discus—and Ray, winning four points in the broad jump, gave the Southerners nine points and tenth place. Outstanding point winners of the year were Captain Bricker, Carl Wright, and Daymon Akin. Watson, Davis, Crain, Stratton, and Ray formed the nucleus of the victorious squad. Lauder, Martin, and Schradc were consistent point winners throughout the season.

Nine Vrio VUjj r«w HhuJicJ Ten The Lucky Mummy Case ears ago, man, who sought a secret from the ages by entering the tombs built by the by-gone people of Egypt, found in the secret, most innermost passages of the colossal Sphinx, a mummy. We say a mummy, because of all the strange things found there, this mummy was the most unusual and baffling. It transferred to man something of its subtle understanding of life. Its eyes were alive with a strange light, and its hands were warm, injecting into the coldness of any maids heart a bit of warmth. From the tombs—from the ages, this figure dared to bring a strange essence of living. After touching it, men were said to be more lucky, so they named it Lucky Mummy Case ,” and took it to Britain, where it is now in a Museum. There might be many reactions to such a story, but it stirred up two main currents of thought in our minds; that out of the most unusual secret passageways of life there are many hidden mysteries; and that to be lucky, man must be fully alive to life, that he must find in it both humor and pathos. And so we began to wonder first—about the lighter moods of our modern men, sifting it down until we came to the campus of S. I. N. U. We are now in the twisting, mysterious labyrinths of our Modern Sphinx built by students; here we are going to dig up dirt in effort to unearth all kinds of Mummy Cases of Humor. Tuo HnuJtfJ Elam CAfter nine months of great scheming, we have at last found the passageway to our Modern Sphinx.

So here the trials of being the idol of the public have been revealed: Trials of An Accor By Leo Brown First, I found the ladder of fame rather slippery, for each time 1 slipped, I felt I would never rise again. Now, I am at Fame’s Pinnacle, and I reached it by my own merits alone. I owe my fame—not to Palmolive Shaving Cream, nor any of your other advertised objects, but to a spanking. The spanking was inflicted by my father. One day he called me into his private office—no smile answering my wavering one. Good grades, son?” Excellent,” I answered. School good?” Irreproachable,” I replied. Girl?” Oh, no,” blushing. Spend money?” Absolutely not.” No vices?” No, I am a good boy, father.” So he spanked me soundly. I did not cry. I stood absolutely motionless. My father also seemed motionless and a bit stunned. Doesn’t that hurt?” Yes, father.” Aren’t you lying to me about all this other?” Most assuredly.” And you can stand there and act so innocently?” Beautifully,” was my final response. So from then on, my father knew that I was cut out to be an actor, giving me his every support. But the public didn’t seem to appreciate me. Finally I got into Strut and Fret, yet my publicity was only of one line variety. Then I got my chance in the Royal Family. Even President Shryock spoke to me in reverent tones; all the best ministers asked me to their churches. Salesmen rushed down upon me to advertise their products, but I remained adamant. It is said I am second to Lindbergh, now, as America’s model young man. Two IlmnJrtJ Tbirltrn T � , scroll, found alongside this tragic one, was a little startling, for we did not know that we had a real camlnis villain. Confessions of the Campus Dragon By Ralph Foley I am not a villain at heart; in fact, when I was in swaddling clothes my mind was as pure as any babe-in-arms. It seemed that my ability to stare long and pensively at an object for an embarrassing length of time eventually catalogued me into the John Gilbert class. It might be disillusioning, but it’s true that near-sightedness brought about this catastrophe, until the reputation hung itself upon me, and I was forced to live up to the name of being the small-town sheik. Very young girls looked at me aghast, and men treated me with envious respect. I took myself seriously. 1 read everything I could on How to Have a Wonderful Personality in Six Weeks,” Valentino’s Life,” How to Get Personal Magnetism,” and even talked to Ernie Sorgen on how co be the best-dressed man. Now I have hearts within my hands crushing them just to hear them break! I make girls cry just to see them mar their beauty. I live on the life blood of people’s hearts. And looking back, I cannot say I am sorry for my life, but as Ogden Nash puts it: When I consider how my life was spent 1 hardly sec what I could repent. 'eside two tombs bearing the names Vomit Warren and Lyle Robinson, we found this inscription: Secret Duel Revealed The reason for these tragic deaths has no secrecy about it. All S. I. N. U. knows that these two men met their untimely deaths for the sake of honor. Fount Warren, while in the midst of students home from other universities, was heard to announce that he had the most beautiful girl in the world—certainly the prettiest blonde in Car-bondalc. Lyle Robinson, who, with others, had chosen this pinnacle of fame for Maureen Webb, immediately challenged him to a duel. Neither had weapons, however; neither guns, nor swords, nor rapiers. It seemed that a physical combat was impossible until Vcrlc Moniclc suggested throwing cream puffs at forty paces. This seemed a truly rich idea, so seconds were chosen—Wilbur Hatfield, William Wolff, Dick Watson, and John Lashly. After throwing nine hundred pastry puffs, the boys were so tired and so filled up from unconsciously swallowing those parts which hit in the vicinity of their mouths, that they both dropped dead. The double tragedy of it all came with the news that, while these boys nobly established one of these girls as the queen of blondes of Carbon-dale, both girls had dyed their hair a jet black. Tkv ll.inJr J Fottrlern Victor Herbert would have probably been grateful if he had found what we found: How to Write a Comic Opera By Jane Richardson, Marc Green and Kendall Fugate First, select your group of prettiest girls, then assure them that they are to wear veils and very long dresses. Next, select a director, but let him realize that in no way will his name be known, or his art lauded—his work is only a gift to humanity. Borrow clothes and costumes from the best known stores, but fail to mention the fact in the programs to avoid any professional jealousy between merchants. Have no main parts; let each one realize he is unimportant. When the cast is all selected, then break the news that the play must be written. Take it word by word from some well-known play, so you won’t be charged with plagiarism, and rename it Scarlet Letters,” or The Shreik.” Start the production out with some such song as: You’re the star in my horizon My chief constellation, You’re the flaming meteor Which sent my heart afire. Would I could be with you Always mounting for you higher and higher. At least three people should die in the first act, providing more die in the second to keep from having an anti-climax. Have a dramatic scene of a man shooting the other man,” or the mother with little Hcva, flying across the ice. F.ach person in the audience should cry at least five tears to make the play a real success. It would be something new and different if free towels would be presented at this time. End the play with a hot novelty chorus like: Yon magnetized You hypnotized You ravanized Me, little star. Stars may be steady But I’m all heady Cause you fell for me. Repeat until all the audience has departed. One chorus will suffice. IlnnJreJ Fifteen T ben in the severest band writing we find an official-looking document.

Tno lluuJrfJ Stt'fitlrrn Tombs and tombs; rooms and rooms; shadows, secrets, and we can discover nothing. We were about to give up when we came upon a startling row of mummies. Before each tomb we found with a brief explanation, that the person therein had died mysteriously. Also, with it some theories were advanced for their decease. Here under one explanation were three tombs—Tom Entsminger, of Entsminger’s Cafe; Chris, from the University Cafe, and Teddy, from the Green Mill. Strange Death of Cafe Owners Whatever caused the strange death of one of these business men caused the death of all three, for beside each victim there was found a tennis shoe for the left foot, and a book, with apologies to John Riddell, who advanced the theory that professional jealousy killed them, until Philo Vance, after much debate, decided that all died as the result of shock. A few of those held in the case were: Ebby Hodge, Ruth Berry, Emilic Switzer, Viola Shenk, Pete Peterson, Dr. Beyer, Dr. Holt, Doc Hiller, John Lewis. Liz. Harris, Eileen Ncilly, Jack Hanigan, Jimmy Barrow, Eugene Baysingcr, Don Haege, Freddie Finley, and many others seen frequenting these places. They were charged for being indirect causes of the deaths. First, this group had deserted Entsminger’s, going out to the new University Cafe, until the bright lights from the Green Mill caught them like flames. Then Entsminger’s new Spanish mccca enticed them back there again. The three men were furious, but made peaceable terms to divide the business alphabetically, counting students, allowing only those whose names they drew to enter their establishment. Then that little Coney Island Shoppe came. When everyone went hot-dog crazy, why these men just naturally died of shock! Tuo linn,hrJ EightrtI e aren't surprised at finding this. Let's sec: How Frenchy Met Death First, we think foraging might have caused it. We know that is positively not in” now. Then, too, no man can scorn an Anthony Hall girl who announces her desire to forage with Frenchy and continue to be well and happy. Secondly, anyone who had to read an Egyptian half-written by this slangstcr has real cause to get violent. Thirdly, that Sparta girl? Why women arc said to kill with only glances. Fourthly, after watching the rush of the Femmes at every Freshmen Hop toward this Maurice—this dancing fool and genius, we have decided that surely he was killed in the rush that Thursday we missed going. The moral? GA ml here was a tomb of Hazel Towery. The theories advanced are: Strange Death of Hazel Towery She was assistant-register of Dean Wham, and the strain of hearing students beg for courses they weren’t allowed to take probably lowered her vitality and her spirits until she cast herself into Lake Ridgeway and drowned. Foul means might have induced such a leap, too. Remember it was she who wrote the letters in the Sphinx column of the Egyptian. Professional jealousy between feature writers, or outraged writers-for-advicc at having their hearts so publicly exposed is the two-fold explanation of this hypothesis. Lucille, Florence, Mike, Lillian, Mary Eleanor, Eva Marie, Mary, Marguerite, and several Hall girls seem to be hiding something regarding the affair. Hazel was a kind-hearted girl, and could not bear quarreling. After the word-sparring of Leo brown and Earl Shipley over her, she seemed melancholy. We believe that in order to keep jealousy out of the lives of these model young men, that she took the easiest way out of their lives. Anthony Hall mourns, and Miss Crawford never regrets having loaned her her typewriter night after night. Tho IlnHJrrJ Nmttrtu v but a fickle, fickle world, we decided. Was it only lore that stirred men thinly? But here was a regiment of tombs mapped off. Sorority girls buried here? What could cause this? Here was the explanation: Sudden Craze Causes Tragic Deaths All was quiet on the Sorority front; not a boat was stirring in the creek behind the house, nor a strand of rice growing in the swamp; not a colored flannel was flapping in the breeze; the mail man still came twice a day; Mother Means rang the gong promptly; everybody was late for dinner nightly; all was as usual or more so until Madolyn Bagwill and Helen Dollins went down town one day and bought a five cent purchase which started the fireworks. Just a tiny rubber ball and nine jacks to go with it. Then it was every girl went Jack mad. Meals, cards, dancing, baths, lessons, friends, were all neglected for the new craze—even the faithful old boy-friends, who were forced to sympathize among themselves, read newspapers, while the girls worked and quarreled and counted jacks far into the night. Then one night something dreadful happened. We don’t know what; even Mother Means couldn’t be located, but every girl was found stone dead. None of the boys, usually found there, could be found either. Suspicions are that the most jealous of them, Tc Thompson, T. L. Stearns, Byford Webb, Lowell Bailey, Curtis Hill, torn by insouciance, threw the jacks away, hence killing the girls with anger. Perhaps the girls assassinated each other through jealousy, though. Certainly Helen and Madolyn were more mutilated than all. Why Madolyn had no lip-stick on, and Helen’s hair was combed back perfectly straight! Only force of a dreadful kind could have caused the girls to go to their graves so illy-shrouded. This account is unnecessarily brutal, perhaps, but we arc mystery-solvers, not sentimentalists. Ti w Ilnr JrtJ Tutnty Jt is rat her nerve-wrecking to find our very best friends buried here in the gloom of this modern Sphinx. Specially does it hurt to find Donald Paine's tomb. Reason for Little Paine’s Decease He may have passed the Eligibility List. He may have talked himself susceptible to onslaughts while being football manager. He might have continued arguing every good book down to the adoring reader. He might have over-taxed the pituitary gland in effort to grow. But again, maybe curiosity killed him. We can cite that age-old cat as an example. And Donald was curious. For three years he used to sit and watch a certain faculty member, wondering what this teacher was thinking that he could write diligently during every chapel meeting. By the unperturbed expression Donald could tell nothing. Announcements gave Donald no clue. No one ever spoke of it. He grew gradually more pale and thin, and his beard grew long and his hair matted. He found time hanging heavily on his hands. He became janitor, hoping to intercept a note some day. Then one day it happened. He spied the note which he had seen T. L. Bryant write with his new eversharp pencil. He opened it tremblingly. Ah, and now to read it. But there was nothing there. Bryant had used no lead. It was simply his way of keeping in practice for teaching Palmer Method. Donald never recovered. T hesc people have not died in vain, though, for they have left inscribed upon the n ails bits of philosophy which activated their lives. We pass it on to yon for inspiration: I could live all my life in nonchalance and insouciance Were it not for making a living, which is rather a nousciance.

An anxious wooer can cure insomnia By murmuring Amor Vinci Omnia. For ice-breaking Candy Is Dandy But liquor Is quicker. A good way to forget today's sorrows Is to think hard about tomorrow's. And that ends our exploring. For as yet the other tombs arc a secret to be reopened by later generations. We are grateful to past humor kings who shared their fun— Foley, Hall and Dickey.

Jfe cL- -r dZ- -irt 3? z . £6U , s I )i our search for humor in life, w have ; o forgotten the other important feature of man s character— jc serious vein. The Sphinx itself, from which our lucky case was taken, has been a lesson for us, for we, too, should like to construct our own monuments of character on a scale as strong and inspirational as this. Tmu UnmireJ r«f� jr- «i JPor ages this mountain of limestone and granite lias been a fascination for all men. They have advanced various theories, always in effort to comprehend its massiveness. Scientists and scholars have been utterly unable to explain it. Since it is a complete geometrical figure, wise men have concluded that it must have been divinely planned. No other explanation has been advanced to account for wisdom of the structure, for as Isaiah said: A pillar shall be at the border of Egypt; it shall be for a sign and a witness.” Although divinely planned, this pyramid was actually constructed by centuries of effort, and through the infinite patience of man. Through storms of forty centuries it has stood. Storms and rains have drenched it and bombarded it, but there it stands ready to take another forty centuries of atmospheric attacks, if the world should continue to exist.” The creators of this pyramid have died long ago, but here their work lives on, still intriguing and inspiring man. In building individual monuments of character the same infinite patience and effort are necessary. The Sphinx grew out of surroundings of charm and mystery. The dunes arc a changing pattern of color absorbing the gold of the sun, and the dark blue of the shadows. The parallel to this mystery and charm is to be found only in life itself, where light and shadow design resulting patterns of happiness and sorrow. As one approaches the monument, he sees the dominant gray color change into silver, then tinge into blond, and finally deepen into gold; this beauty entices one to ascend its heights. Higher and higher climbing does not completely satisfy, for one secs a wider and wider range of beauty until it is too great for the mind to conceive. The view of the minarets of Cairo glittering in the sun is enough to fill the mind, and overwhelm the entire being. So it is in life, when monuments of character gain in height, new vistas are opened to the builders so inspiring that one is overwhelmed. Tky IlnnJrrJ T� r:ily-lhret they heard: Hear me, vian, mortal and immortal: I am old, I am very old. I am a dying Pyramid. But you are immortal. The feet with which you climbed my sides today will turn to dust, but you have a soul that will outlast me and my brotherhood of Pyramids. Live for eternity. With the shadows of evening now falling from my side, I pronounce upon you a benediction. Take it with you across the Mediterranean. Take it with you across the Atlantic. God only is great.” The winds have borne this admonition over the Mediterranean, over the Atlantic, over the hills of Southern Illinois to our college, which stands as the Great Pyramid of Little Egypt watching the long procession of students who come, tarry awhile, and go. When they turn to go, our College, like the Pyramid becomes humanized and gives them its message to carry across the years. 1 M y i At ..CW V fl--- - - • ✓V 4 Ak s L Xs aZ uu !
