The Freshman class favored us with a program consisting of literary and musical productions. The Freshman By S. G. Monroe As has been said by some one, there is a need on the campuses of some schools and colleges to give more attention to con structive and concentrated thought, from which the many new fields emanate, the urge for a better understanding between faculty and students, in order that right steps may be taken in discipline and not one side of the affair should find a place on the campuses of some schools. Of course where student councils pi’evail we get rid of this problem by mutual under standing to a large extent. Why a student is dumb can not always be attributed to the student himself and cannot always be to the teacher, but some times it is because of the student’s fault nnd sometimes because of the teacher’s fault. No one will further doubt that there is an urgent need for the recognition of Ne gro student ability to do as well as any other student, but this ability must be en couraged by the example of the faculty. The impression of the faculty upon the student body is perhaps the student’s en tire education and ideal for life. We need to arouse ourselves and improve on some school campuses as regarding our attitude toward religious principles. We need to get back in the paths our fathers trod. We should not be of habitual speech and no actions, and a man is not necessarily out of harmony because he does not think as another man wants him to think. Look around on your campus. There is much missionary work to be done and you need to know this. A military department is needed on lots of campuses. And last of all there is an untold need for better and more wholesome understand ing between the students and alumni of some schools and whenever a perfection of these imperatives is consciously adopted, there will be a further uplift of our school campuses.

I wonder who thought the school song was buried with the $5.00 collected for printing it. I wonder what the answer was when the visitor asked for the telephone booth in Smith Hall.
