The student body overlooked a
mighty good bet when it didn't
elect us Easter king.
Course everybody loves the
cows and chickens, but this East

Number of fellows wouldn't
save any chickens from the fire

It's not such a long step from

Most any time o' day you can
see a bunch of freshmen scruti

recognize him a few nights ago.
Glee club quartette signed up
with Keith vaudeville company
some weeks ago. Mr. Keith died
a day or so later. Business
troubles are said to have brought
on his end.
AT CHAPEL.
Of late, it has been the prac
tice of certain students on the
campus to meet every morning
outside of chapel instead of go
ing in and taking part in the ex
ercises. This has been com
mented upon by many outside of
the University, and the reputa
tion of the University has suf
fered as a result.
Several times this has been
brought to the notice of the stu
dents by members of the faculty,
but the practice is still in vogue.
Now this may appear alright
and proper to a few, but we do
not believe that the majority of
this student body hold this view.
This is not a discussion or a
criticism of absentees from chap
el, but our voice is raised against
congregating on the outside
when the chapel exercises are
being conducted. This practice
is under no conceivable circum
stances justifiable.
These gatherings are usually
composed of from four to over
a dozen students, who sometime
make noise enough to disturb
those on the inside; their mere
presence there has a demoralizing
effect upon those who are taking
part in the exercises.
This is another one of those
little things by which the Uni
versity is judged. People form
their opinions upon the conduct
of the student with whom they
are acquainted, or upon the ac
tivities on the campus as they
see them.
Fellows, let us think about
this and, as our president has
expressed it, be loyal students of
the University and refrain from
this altogether uncalled for prac
tice.
THE MOOT COURT.
The most noticeable features
about the moot court in its re
cent meetings have been the very
apparent lack of interest in the
proceedings, and the pitifully
small attendances. Something
must be done or the absolute
failure of the moot court is
inevitable. Where is the law
student who can say that he had
in the least degree done his duty
in the moot court and not receiv
ed much benefit therefrom?
And where is the senior who
does not feel that he should be
awarded a diploma from the Law
Association in June.
It is a silent fact that what
ever we attemp)t we are not go
ing to get more out of it than
we put in it, and the moot court
is no exception to this familiar
rule. The man whose name is
on the role of the Law Association
and who never attends a meet
ing is the man who cannot be
helped by the moot court; he is
what is termed in common par
lne, "a hopeless ase, a'nde is
not only a detriment to himself
but to the moot court as well.
It is really sickening to walk
into a session of the Association
and find a little hand full of men
hurdled together as though they
were attending a funeral cere
mony, and their faces about as
blank as the inside of a Sunday
morning newspaper. Yet this
has been the condition, scarcely
enough members present from
which to select the several wit
nesses, and empanel a jury.
Are we going to let thins state
of affairs again kill the Law As
sociation; or shall we, with the
simple feeble effort which it re
quires, pilot her successful for
the remainder of the year, and
place her in the hai?ds of the
next year's senior class on a
solid foundation as a permanent
institution of the Law Depart
ment of the University?
The moot court, though stag
gering at times, has been kept
running throughout the present
session. This is a better record
than has been attained for the
past year or two. But to carry
it so near the end and then the
goal in sight to let the Associa
tion fail would be nothing short
of pitiable, and a sad reflection
upon the members. There will
probably not be more than four
more meetings this year. We
started out with full attendence
and keen interest. Can we not
end the same way? Surely
every member can make some
slight effort to attend these four
final meetings-only four. And
will not the members on duty at
least attempt to prepare their
cases well, and let's take the
old moot court through with
flying colors?
