Not that we’re demand ing it, you know, but during the last two or three weeks science has found out a couple of things that you really should know: Under ordinary conditions, your hands and arms contain about 8,000,000 micro-organisms, ac cording to a Johns Hopkins Uni versity professor. This is a nice fact to add to your dinner-table facts collection. If you’re a devotee of the steam, you really should know that fish like red better than any other color, and that red- colored bait is best. At least a Northwestern University professor has found this out after many months of research. We suggest that you paste this one in the cover of your bait-box. One of the chief topics of con versation — almost as bad as Have you heard about my opera tion? is this subject of allergies. Sensitiveness to food, you know. Well, a University of California fact-gatherer has found out that 7 per cent of us have allergies, which means that some of us must be kidding ourselves, judging from the large number that claim certain sensitivities. And all of you who have in feriority complexes because you didn t get a chance to play on the varsity will feel better after this new pill of self-reliance from Massachusetts State College: Re searchers there have found that only 49 percent of the college athletes are active in social activi ties in later life. Yes, science is doing everything in This Collegiate World to make us all feel better—or is it? INFIRMARY BLUES Tate Introduces New Plan In Societies The other day a friend and “me” Went down to the infirmary. As we went walking down the hall. We ran “smack” into Ada Wall. We thought that surely all was lost Until we heard “ole” Peggy Moss. And then someone let out a yell That proved to be Mary Mitchell. Did I say this was all the blues? You should have heard them sing of shoes Of “vilest” red, from a “railroad man”. As Ada, Mary, and Peggy can. We went down to the first floor hall To see who roomed under the “W’all”. ’Twas Clifton Powell, lying there Contented as an old brown bear. I Joe Greer was just across the way Trying to sing “Oh Happy Day”, And then he joined in “Railroad Man” With Ada, Mary, and Peggy “Ann.” Suddenly from the first floor ward Old Worth Grant gave out a dis cord. Aw, Shut up, Joe! How can we sleep?” And Bob Wright echoed, “Can we sleep?” To make me still feel quite at home They placed me here in this back room. The kitchen is across the way. But “nurse” won’t let me help today. Page Five Give forth to every patient bliss. I now propose a golden toast To white clad nurse of whom we boast: Miss Velma ■ Shaw, we raise our cup, “ ’Tis >mu who help the sick folks up.” —James P. Kirk. (Continued from page 1) that at Commencement, when all other medals are being awarded, that each society will present a medal to that person in the oppo site society whom they consider the most representative of the high ideals of both societies. The ideals upon which they will be judged are the Euthalian dignity, simplicity, and conservatism, and the Philomathian truth, purity, and fidelity. Oh, shucks! It would be fun to dry Those dishes. Now don’t ask me why. (Cause Kathryn Williams washes them; She’d fill one’s joy-cup to the brim.) Now there are other folks down here Who keep this place from being drear: Hawkins, Thompson, Essie, Harris This will in no way endanger the literary rivalry that is always felt most in the inter-society con tests at Commencement, but it is hoped and expected that this will do much to make the existing rivalry a more friendly one Tutorial System Proves Great Aid To College Students HAMILTON, N. Y.—(ACP) — Additional evidence that the tutorial system is of great aid to today’s undergraduates has been released by College University of ficials here. After five years of using the system, Colgate records show that the student malcontent who is unable to adjust himself to his environment has been virtually eliminated. “One great result of individual treatment has been a marked de crease in personality problems on the campus,” one faculty leader stated. The medical department re vealed that the number of nervous breakdown cases per year has been reduced from five to one. Under the Colgate system, indi vidualization is brought to mass education. Besides conferences re garding classroom work, precep tors and tutors discuss the stu dents' personal problems.
