PICK UP!
One purpose of a college
education is to elevate the stu
dent to a place above the "gen
eral rule." There is a tendency
among the student body this
year to drag along and let their
work take care of itself. We
acknowledge that the war sit
uation, linked with this fine
spring weather, is a combina
tion that doesn't promote thrift
and energy, but in spite of this
we should strive to work
against the difficulties. Don't
be content to merely "pass,"
but try to get all the good there
is in your college course. Uncle
Sam will admire you the more
for it.
NOT THE LEAST AMONG THEM.
The pages of our modern
history are filled with the bril
liant playing of the university's
football teams, the swiftnessJ
and speed of the "goal-shoot
ers," and the craft and skill of
the men on the diamond. But
there has been omitted one
phase of athletics which.is of
vital concern to all of us. It.
renders physical benefit to
more men than any other;
branch of the sub.iect, and
keeps the men of the various
teams in trim during their off
seasons. The gymnasium is an
indispensable asset of the uni
versity and the gym. class this
year is one of the most inter
esting and b)eneficial of those
given by, the faculty. It has
been largely due to the efforts
of Mr. Van Meter, our instruc
tor, that much new material
has been installed, and it is
the result of his coaching .that
a gym. team is being organized
which will be competent
enough to contest with any
team in the State. We are
looking forward with interest
to the various boxing and
wrestling bouts which are to be
staged in the near future.
Make good use- of the advan
tages offered in the gymnasium
and "put on a little more
muscle."
GET TOGETHER.
Cooperation might be said to
be the keynote of this age. Co
Dperation is defined as the "act
>f working together for one
end." We see it writ large in
political circles-international,
,ational and local. The allied
powers, including our own, are
working together for one end,
namely, the winning of the
var, the making of the world
;afe for democracy. And the
Porces within this nation are
ftempting, at least, to cooper
ie so that America's part in
;his end may be as large a
possible.
We see cooperation writ
arge in religious . circles.
'hurches abandoning their em
phasis upon creeds and doc
;rines, and invoking together
or one end, the preaching of
he gospel to every creature. A
na.jority of them being found
n the Y. M. C. A. organized in
in ef'ort to minister to the
spiritual, physical and athletic
vants of the millions of men in
niform.
And so we might go on cit
ng instances of cooperation.
3ut may not we on the campus
:lraw a lesson from the cooper.
tion which we see all about
is? We must lay aside our
:.rivate likes and dislikes in so
Far as they conflict with the
zighest good for the many and
work for a common end-the
dvancement of the group.
That we do need to get togeth
nr is evidenced by the lack of
enuine pep, of enthusiasm, of
'ard work, and most of all the
ack of a sense of oneness
which exists in our student
ody. Its up to somebody to
ake the lead sometime, some
where. Why not you-nowv
and here?
