College Epic By James Allan, Jr. The college world is pictured By the folks who dwell outside, As the easiest place to live in As a horse they'd like to ride. But they know not what they talk of, And it's just a bluff and sham, An ego soothing nostrum That we know aint worth a damn. The college man is pictured Trousers turned up to his knees, A-smoking Turkish cigarettes And lounging round in ease. Thus college critics caper, Cut their bluff and run their sham, Their ego soothing nostrum That we know aint worth a damn. They say our fathers pay the bills And we have all the fun, We lose oui heads at football games And het our daddies' "mon." That part of this is true, we grant, But most is bluff and sham, An ego soothing nostrum That we know aint worth a damn. They always fail to picture (These sweet folks who dwell out side) The trials and the troubhles That we college men bestride. Just listen, we'll attempt to cure This groundless bluff and sham, This ego soothing nostrum That we know ain't worth a damn. The doctrine that Americans All equal are and free, Is our fondest piece of myth Outside the cherry tree. And to be independent And to look folks in the face,, H-as been the common aim of man Since Adam fell from grace. The college man ain't free at all, The milloinaire and bum Are bound by sets of rules and laws Worse than .the rules of thmb. The chapel bell's an autocrat, Professors all would be Small gods the students worship In this great land of the free. And as for independence, Since we draw our monthly pay From out our daddies' ,bounty, 'Tis a pipe dream blowed away. And when we meet the ladies Chocked so full of charm and grace, What have we got to offer? We can't look 'em in the face. The college world depicted By the folks who dwell outside, Is drawn by uninitiates, Or knowing ones who lied. We college men know better, And we call this bluff and sham, This ego soothing nostrum That we know aint worth a damn.

Christmas Revelries I had a jolly Christmas, Spent all the dough I had; Bought presents without number, Had the bills all sent to dad. I went to see some girls, Took them out to every show; Told them that I loved them, But they knew it wasn't so. The way I ate that dinner Was a shame and a disgrace; But soon the signs of distress Were displayed upon my face. But now my revelries are over, And I have returned to college; I must lay aside these memories, And fill my head with knowledge. Since our revelries are over, We have time to reflect; We turn again to our books And all pleasant memories reject. J. L. G. Open at 11 A. M. and close at 10:45 P. M. The Lyric. New features daily.
