Advertising Manager Circulation Manager ...Assistant Circulation Manager SOME SUGGESTIONS FOR STUDY IN COLLEGE 1. Make a schedule and follow it. 2. Do all your studying- in the same place. 3. Do not waste your time in college (spending less than thirty hours a week on a fifteen-hour schedule is wasting time.) 4. Start studying the minute you sit down at your desk. 5. Find an interest in every subject 3'ou take. 6. Develo]) a method of studying: make a preliminar}- survey of the chapter to be read. Do not skip graphs, drawings, or tables. Learn the meanings of technical words. Find the main thought of each paragra])h. Review yourself on what 3^11 have read. Anah-ze 3'our work for your particular difficulties. Pay keen attention in class. Read fast enough to keep up with 3'our assignments. Learn to observe your teacher's directions. 7. Stud3' alone, grouj) stud3" is wasteful of time. 8. Don’t attempt too man3" outside activities. 9. Keep 3'ourself ph3"sicall3’ fit. 10. Follow regular hours. FOLLOW A SCHEDULE upperclassmen may profit In- the ten rules given the freshmen for stud3^ and the scheduling of activities, study pediods, and recrea tion. One of the most outstanding rules is the first, “Make a schedule and follow it." This advise concerns the use of time. We can either make time our foes or friends. Time can completely overwhelm us so that we feel subdued by things that have to be done in a limited period. When we have conquered time and made it our subject, we find how easy it is to accomplish our many duties. The faithful observance of a daily schedule is the great method that each should use in making time a subject and friend. The schedule should not end with the allotment of required hours for class work, but should continue throughout the day with hours budgeted for recreation and study periods. It is impossible to waste time if this practice is carried out. One of the greatest difficulties of many people is the pro])er use of time. A schedule is a certain corrective, if followed. Time wasted not only has an effect on a student’s life in college; hours idly spent not onl'v reflect on class work, but also on the man3f ])hases of later life. Now we have the opportunit3' to store up power and knowledge which will be valuable in the future. The great re sources of life are at our disposal to be gathered and orderly ar ranged. The digging, refining, and selection of the products, which we acquire, are often difficult; yet, we shall be glad to have a rich supply of pure metal in the future, when the need arrives. When the store houses of past experiences, learning, and knowledge are inspected, the resources which we have gathered will flow out. The little stream flows cautiousl3^ slowly around every rock and obstacle in its path. Our resources will be like a rushing torrent which flows rapidly and easily over great rocks. FRESHMAN WEEK Someone wondered why the freshmen hurried out on the front campus early Thursday morning to see the sun rise. However, the problem was solved when the freshmen ap])eared outside the post office several hours later. Their general appearance showed that it was nothing more serious than Freshman Week. Fear of getting lost, each girl had a large tag pinned across her back, and clutched tightly in one hand was a likeness of her dashing hero which served as her only protection against the terrifying sophomores. It was quite amusing to see the freshmen lined up outside the dining hall and to hear them singing: “Ho^v Ain I Doing, Hey ! Hey !’’ From rhe gales of laughter which came from the faculty and upper classmen, it rvas evident that they were performing their duty quite well. Of course, ever3'one had a grand time when the3^ met in the auditorium Thursday and Frida3- evenings at 6:30 to be entertained Iw' the freshmen. Friday night things looked serious when the light flashed out and the sojihomore flag disajqrearcd. Fortunately, peace was restored when Betty Aliite found the flag and graciouslv con sented to hoist it for the remainder of the program, Flowever, most of the fun was had at "Rat Court" in the evenings. The sophomores conducted the blindfolded freshmen through a dark and gloomr- passage which led into the court room where they took the elevator to the liasement. Nourishment was immediately proffered as some of the culprits seemed a little exhausted. After being branded as “rats,’’ the3' ascended the ladder of peril, walked the slipper3" path of disaster to lea]) into the de]iths of uncertainty. Great was their relief when their, blindfolds were removed and they found themselves surrounded by' jirotecting upjierclassmen. Fresh man week, as a whole, rvas a great success. iMan3' thanks to the sophomores who were responsible for the good time had b3' evervone. The freshmen are to be congratulated for their good sportsman ship during "rat week." Ma3' their remaining college da3's be marked by^ that same good spirit.—R. M. Shadows are eerie things. They always pop out in unexjiected ])laces at unexpected times, listen to the whole conversation, and then quietly vanish. One never suspects that a shadow might have a definite personality', A new shadow has appeared on he campus. Perhaps it's the Hal loween influence, or it may be just the fore-runner of some coming event. Nevertheless, a shadow has been seen lurking around the dormitories, peeping from behind doors, and gliding- through the halls. We rather like being a shadow'. It’s a wise plan to stay in the background—so many things can be learned by simply keeping still and listening to others. Shadows are absolutely' free from restric tions. They can assume enormous heights or be infinitesimally'small. They can distort or make beauti ful, belittle or exaggerate. In fact, shadow's can do as they please. This has long been the unquestioned right oi shadows, and W'e now declare it to be our right. We have no purpose in view nor policy—also • no apologies nor promises. As to w'hat w'e are go ing to use as a subject for dis cussion, we refuse to divulge any thing, It may be campus gossip, general comments, our ow'ii philo- soifliy, or just anything we should think to sav. Did you hear that sly' giggle the other night w'hen we first saw one of the freshmen in South writing a special to the perennial college shiek? We didn't mean to laugh out loud, but shadows have a sense of humor—or is it a sense of the ridiculous ? We think Rat Week w'as a huge succes,s—especially w'hat happen ed at Rat Court. Did y'ou see Rose Ellen White and Caroline Hoon about 10:00 o'clock Thursday night? Naturally the shadow liked Rat Court, beca'use w'e al- -ways like things that happen at night. Darkness gives us more freedom. Like all shadows do at some time, however, we're going- to fade away' now', but w'e'll reappear in tw'o weeks, so bew'are! We mav tell on you. Three kinds of rackets have been well advertised on our cam pus during this past week, Rick- Rack-ets have taken first place with everyone from freshman to senior. Upperclassmen were jeal ous of the rats, but, since it was the sign of childish days return ing again, many of the more dig nified felt it would lower them in the estimation of all if they took part in such youthful antics. Most of the faculty, w'e feel sure, w'ould place “vocal racket” as w'inner of second place. Classes for Thursday and Friday were disturbed to considerable extent by' this, our second competitor. All of those who usuallv enjoy slumber until the last moment inig-ht contradict our placements for this could not possibly be done on a just basis. We do not deny, however, that the two w'ere close rivals, for the “vocal rackets” un doubtedly won during three par ticular intervals each day'. I his third prize winner has been left Lar behind the other two. The tennis courts have been in poor repair, but they' are going to be in better condition soon. Some had a hard time learning to “Rick- (Continued on page three)
