" —o— ■■
A new semester tt here and three week* of
It are already past. To ihe freshmen, the first
semester might have been a long one. because
they were faced with collcge problems for the
first time, but to the uppcrclaaamen, it must
have passed rather rapidly. The end came rath
er unexpectedly. You probably thought all the
time that you were learning very lillle, and ex
aminations most have made it clear lo us that
we had taken in only a very minute part of the
information passed out to us by professor*.
Some of you might have been lazy, tleeping on
the )ob. going the way of least resistance. Oth
ers might have failed because they did not get
adjusted properly or were unprepared to make
the proper adjustments.
Did you ' have to cram for examinations?
Some might have waited until the last lap of
the semester to begin work, while others lacked
the intellectual initiative to begin.at all.
Now with last semeater's mistake* in the
background and a new semester in front, why
not gel serious and face the facts and problems
more squarely and aeriously than you did in the
past?
Many times student* «ay in no uncertain
terms, "I'll bet I do better next semester and
stay up ahead instead of having to pack my head
full of facts when I don't understand any of
them." It would be a good resolution for all of
us to make.
Never close your mind to anything or run
away from ideas; and since you are here for an
education, go about it as if you mean it.

In a few days an intra-mural basketball
tournament will be launched. So far this year
interest in intra-mural sports ha* been gradually
fading away. Inter-society games and inter
club games cannot be successful without sup
port.
jt is true that only a selected talented few
are capable of making one of the inter-collegiate
athletic teams. In view of the fact that every
student is entitled to athletic activity and that
only a small part of the student body can make
inier-collegiate teams, the intra-mural program
has been launched in this college.
Despite the fact that our inter-collegiate
athletic team doe* nol rank high in games won
we can rank high in intra-mural athletic train

fact that he uses outlines in pre
paring for hia classes.
And, if the truth were known
thoae outlines eased the way to a
degree for many an instructor.
Another young prof I know
boasts a mighty fine Rumba and
serings a pretty mean Big Apple.
It seems the outlines give him
time to get out and “swing It-”
That same young prof swioes
half of the campus queens right
under our eyes. .N'ot bacaus* there
is something special to him, but be

plugging assignments for the profs
who don't uae the outlines.
In common with many of my
fellow collegians, tliere is the sug

It's not too late yet for a stu

for the yesr. They are as fol

President—Dovej; Watson.
Vice-President—Vivian Meyer.
Secretary—Jerry Jemigsn.
Treasurer—Rachel Jones.
Reporter—Agnes Lee Holland.
The Club alao decided to have
their picturea put In the “Pine
Knot" under the name of The
Commercial Club. These oictures
will be individual and will cover
two pages.
The Commercial Club was start
ed several years ago, but it has
no* been very active this year
Many students were burning the
midnight oil in catching uD oii
back work a'nd in pri^paring for
exams. How diii 1 know this?
Well, it wasn’t a birdie that told
me. I’ll tell you how 1 found out
and then you mu> verify it with
what you know.
'Twas in the boys' dormitory.
The time somewhere in throwing
distance of the midnight hour. We
admit, here, thst several boys were
in bed and hsd been in bed since,
possibly, ten o’clock. But these
fellas were looking out only for
themselves and did not have at
heart the essentials of building a
progressive school with a compass
of well adjusted students possess
ing infallible attitudes. But the
students that made history, were
those that strove on for hours fo!
the betterment of all. Many stu
dents plunged deeply in thought
vere represenutives of the boys'
lormitory council. This was the
situation when the following event
took place.
Somewhere about twelve o’clock
on January 7. 1938, there was a
disturbing rustling of an under
cover, snooping manner in the
halls of the boys’ dormitory. The
students, however, and especially
the representatives of the boys’
dormitory council, were absorbed
so deeply in their work and duty
that this trivial matter late at
night should not interfere, so on
they pursued their quest as stu-
denU well adjusted possessing
utopian attitudes.
A moment later, another rustle
of feet was heard. Boys that re
mained on duty in their search of
knowledge were locked in their
rooms. Another moment passed,
the lights went out. After the
third moment passed, a few of the
council members began to think
things, smell a rat,” so to speak.
Each one in his respective rooms,
locked in with light switch pulled,
leaving them in total darkness, de
cided something had gone wrong.
IKit, alas, they could not get out
of their rooms to make an investi
gation so they followed suit of the
thoughtless boys who retired so
early in the night.
