The Cincinnatian PERHAPS POETIC JUSTICE seppiember Comes to Mcllflicken - ind with September comes the horde of lads and lasses fro- Withrowx' and Hughes, from Long Island, N. Y., and Mountain City, Tenn. Old McMicken, smiling in the ln- clian Summer sunshine, welcomes them. Bright eyed fresh- IIICIT, eager and expectant, sophomores proudly display- ing hfigilance badges, juniors who don't care a hell of a lot, and seniors who do--seniors who may never again feeltthe thrill of September coming 'round the corner. Senibrs who envy freshmen. Freshmen who envy seniors. Something about the first few days of a college year mak' them seem to belong to freshmen. Though the frosh look up to upper classmen, the whole world smiles down on tl em. W' e like freshmen. They are gay to extravagance. They are wise, too. They don't accept the gestures of so- phist cation for anything more than gestures. They know that ife holds gallantry and fear as well as gay folly. So Old McMicken, soon to take its place among the thing that were, smiles once more on vivacious young thing who are befuddled by the glorious red tape of reg- istration, and helpful but knowing sophomores with an eye tqward rushing. Ah, Time the resistless, works subtle changes in us! Letlus dance, study, and dance again for tomorrow we may gtraduate. l r l i One may go Delta Zeta, another may let the Zeta Tous ribbon her, but right now they are too excited about registering and about being photographed to think much. Or to even think. Can you imagine a pretty female like this registering in the Engine school? But then can you imagine a Chi 0. doing am-'thing you expect her to?

Nineteen-Thirty-One THE GREEKS PREPARE EOR BATTLE If you will look closely at the little picture at the right you will see the Sig Alphs buttoning some boys whom they have just shown over The Lodge. Bill Harrison is seen at the extreme right, carrying a club to use on some stubborn chaps from Ken- tucky. And that reminds us of the story about a Sig Alph who sat in the balcony during chapter meeting-Oh, you have, have you? Returning students look witl1 pride on the new Library, as seen through the NY window. Six stories high, with elevators. And books. XM It's pop guns for the co-frosh this year-with lousey looking R. O. T. C. uniforms for the Vigi- lants. Theyill only be worn fbothl about three days while the uschool spiritw talk lasts. But Louise believes that a clever girl who wants to make good at college will never make the mis- take of becoming sophisticated if she can help it. If she lisps 'Tm jus' a 'ittle country girl who don't know nufhnili' .... all the fraters will be wild about her. Provided of course, she is not a big, stout girl. Then there is the Y for fraternity rushers with poor looking shacks. Perhaps some of the sorors will be there and we can dance to radio music. You must meet Mary, too. I saw her with the cutest rusheef, Now all together, brother egoists, let us sing the Sigma Chi conceit song .......
