Bible Is Book ( OfJou If you were condemned to spend the rest of your life on an island, and were allowed to take just five books with you, what books would you choose? All but one of the dozen University of South Carolina journalism students who were asked this question selected the Bible as one of the volumes they would wish to have in such solitude. Six included the works of O. Henry and of Edgar Allan Poe, while only five would carry the writings of Shakespeare with them. Two selected the detective stories of S. S. Van Dine and a like number named Kipling's works. Other books selected, none of which received more than one vote, were: Pope's works; Milton's works; "Meanwhile," by H. G. Wells; "Robinson Crusoe;" Ludwig's "Napoleon;" "Autobiography of Lincoln Steffens;" works of Richard Harding Davis; Collegiate lippings The Stevens Stute suggests that in place of having a buzzer sound at the end of each period, it would be more suitable to have a bugler sound reveille, A University of Chicago freshman wrote on his exam paper, "Only God knows the answers to these questions." He received the paper back with these words added: "God gets an A, you get an F." According to the Washington and Jefferson Red and Black a freshman at Penn State was found on the second floor of a campus sorority house recently. He excused himself by saying that he was looking for the English department. La Leo o Hawaii, of Hawaii University, tells us that the opinion oi six of eleven faculty members of the University of Washington is that students who aim for A grades in college are "barren of personality." "It is the band of C students who move the world," one declared. These teachers prefer to hire a C student with personality rather than an A student without it. One professor said that A students are freaks. According to tests made by Dr. N. W. Marston at Radcliffe College, Tufts College, and Columbia University, men have a much better opinion of themselves and a much lower opinion of the opposite sex than have women. In reply to one of the questions, "Would you prefer a perfect love affair to a million dollars?" every man replied in the negative while 92 per cent of the girls expressed preference for the love affair. ?Wheaton News. Substituting tobacco for gun powder in an India paper tube used for priming his gun, a soldier smoked the world's first cigarette amid the roar of artillery at the siege of Acre.
