'. THE SHAMROCK - ENGINEERS IN ATHLETICS The Engineering School has not been very well represented in Varsity Athletics at the University of Missouri during the past few years. Just why this condition exists is a question to a great many of our number. There are two main reasons why we are not better represented: first, the Engi- neer is the type of student that is depending upon the knowledge acquired in school for the foundation of the profession which he intends to practice in the futureg second, the average Engineering student is usually lacking the required funds neces- sary to live a life of leisure while attending college. Regardless of these conditions there are a few students who feel that they can give! some of their time to athletics. ' The major sports at present are: Football, Basketball, Wrestling, Track, and Baseball. Cross-country is as yet a minor sport, but its popularity is growing rapidly at the Tiger institution. The Engineering school was represented on each of the major teams with the exception of the basketball squad, and in cross-country the Engineers showed their prowess by placing three members on the varisty team. FOOTBALL S-am Graham represented us on the football squad again this year, and he dis- played his usual style of fight at the old position of fullback. He weighed 185 pounds, and when his turn came to carry the ball, ground was usually gained. ' The following men showed their ability on the 1923 Freshman squad: H. B. ADAMS-guard or tackle F.

- THE SHAMROCK - EDITORIALS Owing to some neglect, or on account of indifference, the Shamrocklwas not included in the list of school publications submitted to the retail Merchants Associa- tion, when they were to decide what student publications they would advertise in. The fault of this neglect may be partly laid to members of the Shamrock staff 3 but regardless of whose fault it was, the fact remains that the Shamrock should by all means be included in this list of student publications. The Shamrock is published at a 'time of year when the adds will be brought before at least one-half of the student body before the close of school. This does notmean that one-half of the students buy the Shamrock. It does mean, however, that enough engineers ha.ve copies that at least 1500 other wide awake students in the University will have an opportunity to look the book over, regardless of whether they are students in the Engineering school or not. Last year there was some talk of not approving the Shamrock, but we were finally given a trial. This year the merchants were forbidden to advertise in the Shamrock. We feel that we are gaining headway with our cause, however, since we were able to obtain all of the forbidden addsg some of these- were even from members of the Association. We heartily hope that the merchants will think just a little deeper than the pecuniary gain of advertising, and in the near future will decide to place the Sham- rock on this approved list where it rightfully belongs. I The criticism is too often justly made of our modern educational institutions that they do not allow sufficient latitude to the play of individual aptitudes and to the growth of special talents. Our Engineering School for instance might be lik- ened to.a vast waffle iron into- which is poured' an endless stream of supernascent dough, full of the most highly diversified but more or less latent capabilities and talents, and out of which is dumlped at regular annual intervals fresh batches of human impressions from the same old mold.
