QUOTABLE QUOTES
(By Associated Collegiate Press)
“During the last 25 years, haz
ing has been disappearing from col
leges. This is due largely to the
fact that students are devoting their
enei'gieis to other activities and have
little time for such trivalities.” Kay-
luond E. Manchester, dean of men
at Kent State University, thinks stu
dents are almost past the prankish
“Bover-boy” days.
‘ ‘ Xo great civilization ever has
developed leisure and lived. There
are few, if any indications, that
America will be any exception. Given
lei.sure, man will go to sleep — that
is, he will let down, get soft, be
come an onlooker, cease to be vigor
ous and thus lose initiative.” New
Y'ork University’s Dr. Jay B. Nash,
professor of education, believes
America will perish if people don’t
adopt hobbies.
“Co-ordination, speed, teamwork,
physical stamina and the ability and
desire to work hard — that’s the
stuff that makes winning football
teams in any league. The popular
myth that some schools are simply
graced with a great deal of fight
and spirit and can go out there
every Saturday with a lot of fight
talk and bowl over their opponents
is purely bunk.” Words with im
pact from “Hunk” Anderson, new
line coach at the University of
Michigan.
“There are two broad avenues to
follow — the avenue of escape and
the avenue of fulfillment. The man
who follows the avenue of escape
does not come to terms with life at
all. He either loses himself in ac
tivities feverish but unsubstantial, or
falls into a lethargy. Those choosing
this path are not real adults.” Co-
cooned-adults take a spurring from
President Harry M. Wriston of
Brown University.
The self-named “ugliest college
man in Texas,” Joe Frederick, of
Texas Christian University, stirred
up the competitive spirit in a
female.
It seems that Flora Peterson, a
co-ed at Wheaton College, Hlinois.
saw Frederick’s picture in a paper
and hurled a challenge at T. C. U.’s
Doc. Jekyll:
“I saw your picture in the Chi
cago Tribune today,” she wrote,
“and I challenge your title.” She
enclosed her picture and finished off
Frederick with “I may not be beau
tiful, but I made the honor roll!
Did you!”
TRIM LITTLE SUIT
This trim little suit with its very
short jacket and straight skirt is
of sheer black woolen. The blouse
of white pique is fastened with
glazed “coq rouge” studs. A black
hat, dark red gloves matching the
studs, and a white lizard bag are
smart accessories.
The incompetent worker complains
constantly that he is being over
worked.
Humming birds require new food
every 15 minutes because they nse
up energy rapidly by constantly
fluttering their wings.
