To be exact some oC them have been known to remain in one tightly closed l)ooth for 30 minutes. They don’t even come out for air, It seems to us iii a student body as large as ours we must have some considera tion for others. Remember your rights and w'here tlie other person’s begin, And too, a few people want to use the phoue now and then on business! The situation seems to have grown worse. We believe that this will be all that's necessary to remind a few inconsiderate ones, Just remember there are 407 girls to talk over 4 telephones. If all of them talked 30 minutes, how many years would we be in the process?

(Which upper classmen might w'ell profit by.) The other day I was sitting in the library trying to study. At least I had been trying, but I had long since lost interest in my book and was Intently gazing at something far more interest ing—a girl, chewing gum. I was fascinated by the rhythmic movements of her jaws and the accompanying "tcliclick" of each downward and up ward motion. She never made a mis take—there was always the same “up —tchclick,” down “tchclick,” and the amazing thing was that she seemed quite unaware of what siie was doing, except that occasionally, she would glance at the door, an intent expres sion on her face. She made double- quick time witii l\er gum for awhile. And for every "tchclick" she pro duced the echoing wall of the library gave back "TCHCI-.ICK." D'l you wonder that I couldn’t study? No one could with such an attraction across the table. And ibc very next afternoon, as I wa-s going dowu town on the bus, I huard a I'aniiliar ‘‘tchclluk,” which ac- ciinipaiik'd the mumble-bumble of the bus ami ihe clattcr of the street car all tiiic'|ilu' wiiy to Fayetteville Street. It was 1 hcgliiuinn f'J lose Rs fascination M'or me tills "tchfiick,” and I had almost ' liii’gc)itcn It, when suddenly 1 heard a ■ i'uluircd voice say, “Who in the world is lhal filrl chcwlng gum so loudly?” and another voice answered, “Prob- aljly a Meredith girl. I have lieard our presence. The faculty is due that respect first,- because it Is the faculty, and second, because the faculty mem bers are older than we, and we should respect age. The adage "Beauty be fore age” has no place here. 4. We ought to respect the feeling of others in regard to our personal ap pearance. Almost everyone prefers to look at pretty things and beautiful things, or at least well-kept things, rather than at their opposites. Consid er then, hoio hard it is on ouv eyes to see girls come to class or to meal with combs in their hair, salves on their faces, bed-room slippers on, or to walk into the library and see girls with no stockings on, in the in-between stage of dress and undress. Not all of us are blessed with beauty, but we can at least make the most of our good points. L. H.

They seem to think that because they received low grades on the not too recent tests the teacher, as they express it “has a spite at them; ” that it is she and not they who has made the unfavorable marks. To say the least, remarks of that sort are very 111 mannered. In addition, they show a certain narrow-mindedness, a certain provincialism, in fact. Anyone who is broadminded, universalized, does not indulge in shifting the blame for his own misdeeds to some one else. As our English cousins would put it, "Its not Cricket." Girls, stunt night is but a few days off as is also the sports season. Above all things, lets be sportsmen. If our class fails to win the cup, please, for manner’s sake, let us place the blame on ourselves—where it rightly belongs; and, with a grin, let us congratulate the winning class. E. B.

Who would both do and dare, ile was very fat, and low, and bravo, And his head from hair was bare. All the dames they fell for him, In spite of his bald head. They liked the Jolly laugh he had. And the funny things he said. Three sisters came for market day Their buns and broad to sell, They saw the young man lingering there, And in love w’ith him they fell. They fought and battled over him. And wished him to wed. They liked the jolly laugh he had. And the funny things he said. The young man stood quite idly by, And his heart had much delight. He placed his hands before his face. And laughed with all his might. Dear dames, to me so very fair. I don't know which to choose, 1 hate to take Just one of you And the other two to lose. Sot out and find a way for me To find my fallen hair. And hide this big spot you see. Which now is sleek and bare. The one who brings my hair to me And cheers my goodly life, I think would prove the very best. For me to make my wife. One brought with her some herbs to try. Another beer and sand, The third she tried some berry juice. But nothing brought a strand. Go way, you worthless women, you You cannot be my wife. Since women prove so naught to me I’ll stay single all my life.
