seems to think that a man is able to
j rind out copy like the tape coming
ut of the "ticker," and 7ou can't
(ursuade him to go away either.

How .can you -reason with anybody
lice tnatr &o tnen l ve got to sit
iown and try to write something.
put for the life of me I cant think
bout anything- but about how tired
feel, and how lazy I am, and the
tiore l think about it, the lazier I
l et, so that I can't even write about
nything else.
This laziness of mine is an inher-
ted tendency, too, and that makes
t worse. For when I was a little
oy I. was always going to sleep
omewhere where I had no busi
ness, and tall oil and raise a racket.
I'ni forgetful, too, because wheii
was a small boy my folks would
ell me to do something- I didn't
tfaiit to do, and presently a boy
I vould come along and ask me if I
ilidn't want to go fishing, or help
lim fly his kite, and I'd forget all
ibout the work I had to do. I don't
enow where I g'ot the forgetfulness
;ither; because my father never for
got when he told me to bring in the
kindlings, .' or anything like that;
?md he never forgot where to find
lie hair brush, either. That's what
lie used to aid my memorr with for
next time, you know.
I know I am lazy, but if I was as la-
m as some folks I know right here in
college I'd just as soon be dead, and
there was a man here before Christ-

in the morning he'd be too tired to Hall on last Friday night
open his eves, and so he would
think it was midnight and go back
to sleep again. Now compared to
him I am energetic, for I do open
my eyes to look at the clock and see
whether it is too late for breakfast
or not. And yet some folks say
that I am the laziest man they ever
saw, and I can't see how it is, for I
love work, adore work, and I can
just sit around all day and see work
going on and enjoy it too. I like to
oversee it you know, and teil the
other folks how it ought to be done,
and somehow they don't seem to ap
preciate it and say hard things cal
culated to hurt my feelings.
Being lazy has its advantages too, 2
for people never expect you to do
anything in the world, and if by any
chance you do do something you get
credit for being a genius. Now
there's that tale about Sir Isaac
Newton sitting in the garden one
day and the apple falling on him.

Athletic Association Meetings.
The primary reason for organiz
ing an Athletic Association was for
the fostering of the athletic spirit
in the University. It should be a
body which should meet for the
purpose of discussing and deliber
ating on questions of interest ath
letically, to the students. We have
observed that every thing proposed
or done, is by a scant half-dozen,
who seeing the apathetic air of the
body generally, know that some
body must do it. Morever, nothing
is ever discussed or deliberated on.
The boys rush in, rush through the
question to be decided, and rush out.
The meetings rarely exceed fifteen
minutes in duration, and during
this time, a step has been decided
oh which vitally affects our position
on an important matter. buch
meetings are a farce, and the sooner
How about your subscription, is sheep, and the cat and the fiddle,

the association ceases to be, the
better if this state of things is to
continue.
If two or three men are to run
things, let them, but do not count
their action as the action of the
student body. You can hear crit
icism in abundance after the action
has been taken, but listen in vain
for it in an Association meeting. The
growth of athletics here is due to
the laborious efforts of a few, and
they deserve the heartiest thanks
of us all for it. Now when they
ask the studeuts to take charge and
carry on the good work, we stick
our hands in our pockets and criticize.
Again, a base-ball team is not the
Alpha aud Omega of athletics. It
is only oue branch. We are like
he Connecticut parent who wrote
many years ago to Dr. Battle, then
President, in answer to a letter
inquiring what branches he wished
his son put in, answered: "Put him
in any branch you want to, but for
Heaven's sake don't put him in Tar
River." Have any kind of athletics
as your tavonte, out ior neaven s
sake don't force all the growing
muscle to the base-ball diamond.
We earnestly beg the Executive
Committee to agitate the question of
Track Athletics, and also beg to
inquire of the whispering winds as
to the whereabouts of the Tennis
Association.
