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.

Pipe Tobacco
San Francisco, Cal.
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.
Yours sincerely,
Ed Maher
