Walks! Walks about the campus
have been greatly improved. Instead
of wading about in mud ankle deep
we will have our feet on reasonably
firm ground. Thanks be to the
business management of the college.
* * *
The main walk to the gate is our
front yard. Let's keep it respectable.
After making puchases at the store
don't throw the paper wrappers on
the campus along this walk.
* * *
Freshmen, you will have much spare
time during this year which you may
use very profitably. Your college
courses will not consume all the time
which you have at your disposal.
There are a number of activities on
the campus which will prove of great
value to you.
Line yourselves up with some of
these activities.

Y. M. G A. HEARS ADDRESS
RY JAMES READ RARDEE
A large crowd of students heard
James Read Barkee, new president of
the Association, address the Young
Men's Christian Association last Thurs
day night in the first meeting of the
year. lie emphasized a quotation
which he drew from ,m address that
President Binford delivered recently:
"College life is not a preparation for
life but is life itself." Following up
this quotation, he enlarged upon some
of the "Do's" and "Don't's" that are
found in the Young Men's Christian
Association handbooks that are hent
out each year. He spoke of the college
life as an ideal chance to form desir
able habits and at the same time to
drop undesirable ones.
BIOLOGY
"George," said the Titian-haired
school marm, "is there any connecting
link between the animal and the vege
table kingdom?"
"Yeth, ma'am," answered George
promptly. "Hash." i
PHILOLOGY
"Papa, what does heredity mean?"
"Something which descends from
father to son."
"Is a spanking hereditary?"

Y. W. C. A. HOLDS FIRST
SERVICE OF THE YEAR
The first meeting of the Young
Women's Christian Association for this
year was a vesper service held on the
campus last Thursday night. Maude
Simpson, president of the Association, i
was leader for the evening.
The Leader gave a short, reverent
discussion on "Tolerance and Feilow- i
ship in Student Life". She said, ''We
have a new gift of value on the campus
this year in the large group of fresh- :
men boys and girls. Each of them
is bringing some potential talent for I
use here." I
Following these remarks, Miss Simp
son spoke of Tolerance and how it
should be developed- within the student I
body. "A failure to understand and
sympathize with the other person's
viewpoint, is to acknowledge ourselves
smaller in spirit than they," she said. 1
She spoke of the necessity of regard- ;
ing the wishes and rights of others .
a thing that is necessary to any com
munity life. (
In conclusion, the leader read the
well known lines of Markman:
"He drew a circle that shut me out, I
Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout; i
But love and I had the wit to win; 1
We drew a circle that took him in." '
THE PERISCOPE
By Beulah Allen
If you Freshmen are thinking that
. your lot is just a bit harder than you can
bear, that you've got more lessons than
lime to prepare them in just feel thank
ful that you are not "walking in the
Shoes' of the State Freshmen. The
September 11. 1925, issue of "The
Technician "carried this item—"Fresh
men will be given until Tuesday night
to have memorized everything in this
issue.'" Rejoice and be glad that you
don't have to memorize these observa
tions on student life elsewhere!

of Toronto must undergo a period of
modified hazing at the hands of the
sophomore women.— The Technician.

W hen authorities at the University J
of Alabama told Wallace Wade they !
wanted him to come to Tuscaloosa and
coach football he took them at their
word. He teaches football and noth
ing else.
At Alabama there are no setting
up exercises, no trick stunts to teach '
football candidates this or that. When
a candidate wants to play football
and says so he is put into a football
uniform and scrimmage starts with
him in it. From the first day of
practice right on through the season j
nothing is done by aspirants to Ala
bama's team except football. There is
a dummy-tackling and kicking prac- !
tice, but those are both contained in
the list of what is done in actual foot- ,
ball combat.
Whether or not Wade knows what
he is about is rather well shown by
what the Crimson Tide accomplished
last season when it won the sham- |
pionship of the southern conference.
The Atlanta Constitution.

WHY 1 BELIEVE IN FOOTBALL I
I believe in football because it j
fixes in every student the spirit of a j
fight and the will to win. It is all a
mistake to say that the men on the
bleachers get no benefit. They re
ceive incalculable benefit in the spirit
that surges through them in the sup
port of the team —the spirit of de- j
termination and irresistible attack, j
I believe in football because it fuses
the college into a unity. Before the
first big home game each year, the
college is only a mass of individuals,
but with the long yell that greets the J
team for its first big fight a new and |
living unity comes into being. In the j
game the soul of the college is awak- j
ened anew, and he is no man at all !
into whose heart the thrills of devo- |
lion and loyalty which will not flow till (
his heart no longer beats.
For all these reasons I believe in J
football—especially football led by
big-hearted men, hard, clean, strictly j
by rules, and with every ounce in the |
fight to the last whistle.—John M. |
Thomas, President of Pennsylvania
State College, in Mind and Body.
GOLLUF!
W ; hen Mark Twain went to Washing
ton to try to get a decent copyright
>'aw passed, a representative took him
out to Chevy Chase.
Mark Twain refused to play golf
himself, but he consented to walk
over the course and watch the represen- |
tative's strokes. The representative
was rather a duffer. Teeing off, he |
sent clouds of dust flying in all direc- j
tions. Then, to hide his confusion, j ]
he said to his guest: "What do you j
think of our links here, Mr. Clemens?"
"Best I ever tasted," said Mark .
Twain, as he wiped the dirt from his j
lips with his handkerchief.

GRATITUDE
Young lady: "You have saved my j ;
life, young man. How can I repay j
you? How can I show my gratitude? j
Are you married?"
Young man: "Yes; come and be a j j
cook for us."
Th' trouble with th' way th' women i
fix up nowadays is that somebuddy is |
alius tellin' your wife that they saw \
her on th' street with her gran-father I
when it wuz you.
