The Very Idea! By Bill Gaines Freshmen should wear their caps whether they have dignified inclinations or not. The red headgear does not de tract from the virginal decorum of this class of college students in the least; in fact, it rather adds something to the expression on his face. Not so very long ago. there was a freshman who would not or did not wear his cap. In his daily exercise of the right to give the co-eds a treat, he would parade up and down the campus with his locks nodding to every vagrant breeze and an air of hauteur that can only be accomplished when no little' red cap is there adorning his boyish coun tenance. Then, along came the freshmen elec tions. He immediately became active in smiling across the campus at freshmen whose last name he didn't even know. He was. consequently, elected. On the day of the election, an im passioned freshmen ascended the plat form and made a plea to the freshman class to wear their caps on every occa sion. He was greeted with tumultous applause. The following day. our friend with the pretty locks appeared with the red cap perched jauntily on his head, prov ing his political worth. Moral: Give all freshmen an office and the difficulty concerning the wearing of freshman headpieces will be at an end. It is admitted that the Glee Club is a worthy organization. It makes pretty noises and it g'ves boys a chance to wear tuxedoes. It detracts youth at tention from the grosser things of life for three evenings per week. They get to wear a pin for their artistic efforts. They sing solos; they sing duets and trios and in ensembles. They have love ly times blending their boyish voices in to the murmuring of the evening breeze. The neighbors are treated to many mo ments of musical diversion that would be theirs were it not for this group. lEverybody is happy. The point, however, is this: the young males that comprise this organization do not confine their vocal efforts to the place and rooms set aside by the uni versity for that purpose. 'They gargle ti'ange noises in the dormitories. They yodel over the canzpus.. They hum in class. They chirp in corridors. They gather in groups and annoy innocent by standers with a resume of the night's practice. They waste their sweetness on the deserted ai-r for none of the listen ers can long stand the temptation that a certain boiler works on lower Main Street holds out in contrast. It is all right to go to a rendition of the Glee Club's program but it is not ethical to subject students to it when they are not p)repared. College is bet a cross section of life. Here is found all that goes to make up the hurried existence that people now adays go through from birth to dleathi The fear, longing, hope, love; all the emotions of the normal human being are as commOn here as everlastin|g qualities to the hills.

Most of the members were present, and several more studlents joinedl the class. After suoper -Doctor Phillips talked to the clas., on the "Un'ted Church."

Larus & Bro. Co. Richmond, Va. Gentlemen: Since I first started to smoke, I have always smoked cigattes. One day SHE said to me "Ed dear why don't you smoke a pipe. thinkc those long straight-stemmed pipes are so manly looking." So, naturally, I had to buy a long stemmed ipe and a can of well, we'l call it "Blubs Mixture tobacco." Im mediately with a certain feeling of pride in my new pipe, I "lighted up" and proceeded to have my tongue bit ten. I tried almost every brand I had ever heard of, but none satisfied me. Sadly, I had to confess to HER that as a pipe smoker I was a good die titian. "Did you try Edgeworth?" she asked. "That is what dad smokes, and he's always smoked a pipe." So I was forced to try Edgeworth, and all that I can say is that if every fellow that has tried to accustom him self to a pipe, started with Edgeworth, there would be very few that'would go back to cigarettes.
