II APRIL 15, 1929 No. 3 / Editorials SELF SUSTAINING STUDENT Perhaps no student is inclined more at times to throw up hands and let everything go to the “bow-wows” than the self-supporting, conscientious stu dent. The ever grinding and plod ding away with problems of study and the problem of staying in school often become apparently too stringent for him. He has but little time, if any, for participation in athletics, social functions and oth^r ej^a-curricula activities. Although ability is not lacking, he may fail to'win honors because of divided interest and efforts. With him it is work, workj work, and his only immediate reward is more work. But should he s;ro\v despondent and way up. Lincoln spent forty-nine years in obscurity fighting, political and military failures and bat tling poverty. But in 1858 Lincoln arose to fame. Ulysses S. Grant gave his service in the Mexican War to the honor of Taylor and Scott, but re mained in obscurity for twelve years longer wrestling with military prob lems and failures in business before he became the famous general. The self-sustaining student has, after all, no justification for complaints or need to bewail his circumstances. , Real responsibility imparts to him that something which his more fav ored contemporaries cannot have—^the satisfaction and confidence of self —possible only wTien there is a sense of mastery. WHICH ARE YOU? It seems safe to say that in every school there are at least three types of students, the tireless worker, the dabbler and the do-no^ing critic. The tireless worker is the student who goes^ about his daily routine of work with the systematic regularity of a clock. He is ever visualizing and striving and is destined to arrive somewhere in the realm of success if he faints not. The dabbler is the spasmodic student who glows in ambition, purpose and vision today and freezes in despond ence, nonchalance and sleeping vigi lance the next. He is the student that vacillates across the passing line and is neither a good student nor a dull one. The do-nothing critic is the student who is just what the phrase denotes. He sees everything, hears everything, knows everything, and can philoso phize oh every ima^^nable subject, save those which are assigned to him in class. He, with all of his brilliancy, cannot tolerate dullness and inaptitude, but he rarely gets above the passing line. Which of the three are you? If you are the dabbter, you may have the distinction of being neither dull nor inapt, but you will not have the honor of the diligent workers’ promise of success.

He then pats himself on the back and says, “Vvell, old fellow', you sure did your stuff today when you helpea the boys hold on to the bacon.” He also slaps the boys on the back and yells, “Good, fellows. We surely know our stuff,” but when the team loses, lie frowns upon them and demands in a commanding voice, "What in the Heck was wrong with you fellows? I never saw such rotten playing.” • During the game he looks upon him self with pride because he is not one of tliose poor perspiring devils out chere, and because he has the money to go into the game and does not have to waste himself on the team in order to see the game. When the boys are going away, he swings on to the bus, arid when the school of the opposing team is reached he is the first to say, "Fellows, let us carry the bacon back today at any cost, legs, heads, arms, ribs or what not?” When day is done, he writes in his diary: “I went witli the boys to . . . today, and led them in wresting the Dacon from . . .” HOT STUFF I CALL IT. EAGLES HIT HARD FOR 9-8 VICTORY Staging a desperate rally in the sixth, seventh and ninth frames, How ard University’s nine that journeyed down froHi Washington for the game, threw a man-sized scare into the camp of their opponents and nearly over came the lead the Eagles had piled up in the earlier innings. The Eagles repeated their per formance of Easter Monday by loos- their big Berthas early in the game, and laying'down a barrage that over whelmed the Washington lads, and en abled the honlt team to pile up eight runs in the first five innings be^Qrfi, their oppOTjlents found their batting pyes. Grimiss, Stroud; Thompson, Vin son, CaldmD and. Hawkins performed well at th^.^w^ for the Eagles, chalking up the loijjjmHv in the 7tli by a home- iWkiife as iwll johh- son weir cndned with three>base hits. Howard scored two in the fifth, one in the eighth and in the ninth, by a single, one two-base hit and two three- base hits, the last /by Mosk and Mar shall, coupled with poor fielding by Durham boys, enabled them to pile up five more. Moore on the mound for the Eagles struck out, nine men. He lasted only tlirough the eighth, when he was re lieved by Vinson. Taylor, who went the route for Howard, struck out two. THE BLEACHER ATHLETE By a Freshman The bleacher athlete is the star ath lete of his college. He plays harder than the real star. He leads the boys on to victory. The bjcjcher athlete is always found at every game, and is usually found at practice (practicing yells and songs). He is always “Johnny on the Spot, anxious and ready to lead his boys on to certain victory (leads the yells and songs while his boys fight the battle unto victory). At the game he always stimulates himself for the battle by eating a dol lar’s worth of peanuts, hot dogs, candy, and ice cream. After partaking of such stimulants, he then tackles the school spectators, and stirs their college spirit to the kicking point; then takes it upon him self to be cheer leader, and usually yells until he is breathless, then goes to the bench to get his wind. He thinks he makes a home run or brings in a score for his boys when he leads the howling mass of excited boys and girls in a splitting yell. When the game is over. He is sd disabled by hoarseness that he cannot whisper to his sweetie, “Well! Honey, WE sure have some hot team; whatcha say Ole Dear?” CUSS NEWS DURING ’ZAMS THE JANITOR’S VIEW By H.

SENIOR CLASS NEWS Dean Elder very sumptuously en tertained the members of the Dean’s list at a dinner party, Saturday, March 16, in the Dining Hall. The menu was as follows; Fruit cocktail, green peas and potatoes, candied sweet potatoes, fried chicken, hot rolls and butter, tomato salad, and pie p la mode. The members of the Senior Class present were Misses Esther P. McCall, Beatrice B. Everett, Lillian B. Bullock, and Virgie L. Jones. Due to the fact that Miss Harriet M. Smith was spending the week-end at home she could not be present. Miss Beatrice Everett spent the week-end at home with her parents. The Seniors are proud of their rep resentatives on the baseball team. “Smoke” Walker shows that he is thoroughly capable of holding the position of first baseman and when “Shorty” Grimes hits the ball, gee, you should see him run. The Senior Class, in their efforts to publish a College Annual, solicits the hearty cooperation of the citizens of Durham and vicinity.
