He has given every man on the campus a chance to participate in some form of athletics. Intramurals were on a low plane when Mr. Elbel first took charge. Now they form a part of the campus life of nearly every man student in the university. Teams are entered by every organized house on the Hill and by many independent organizations. Competition has become keen and spirited. The men play for the show jockey of the sport. Intreumajes have provided a place for the student, not out for varsity competition, to indulge in his favorite sport in a competitive atmosphere. And the intramural organization, as it now stands, is the result of Mr. Elie's work. WE'VE GOT IT Again we say, our hat is off to Ed: Elbel. There was an article of thought published in one of the higher thought magazine a few days ago in which a man of thought outlined a plan of solution on the question, "What Shall We Do With Our Banks?" Well, sir, we've got it all solved. In the first place the author of the article aimed away above our heads with his solution, which suggested the separation of deposit banking from investment banking, demand deposits from savings, etc. We never in the world could see through such a solution as that, so we worked out one for ourselves. We agree with the other authority that "(1) the unprofessional depositor has not the means to judge accurately the soundness of his bank, and (2) there must be such an organized system as to insure—humans s.p.e a k i n g—that failures shall be rare episodes." And in lieu thereof we suggest this simple plan for the American working man and college student: (1) the purchase of only guaranteed socks, and (2) a weekly inspection by a competent laundry. SILLY PEOPLE People are silly, aren't they? Watch them go into a soft drink parlor and invariably you will find that the great majority take seats in the booths instead of taking a comfortable chair at a table. Boots are uncomfortable things which can force individuals into all kinds of unnatural positions. Why do most people prefer them? The desire for secrecy can hardly be a positive reason; for old men and women as wellas youth prefer the unnatural, awkward boots, and they should not have any need for secrecy. Most young folks claim to be blase and above board to such an extent that secrecy, especially in an ice cream parlor, seems foolish. Perhaps the preference for booths may be due to a trace of stole philosophy inherent in mankind, or maybe people are just silly. Thoughtlessness, when one goes to examine it, is a tremendously long word and perhaps that is why in this age of one-syllable words and customs people more or less feel inclined not to bother about it as one of the traits of human nature which isn't just exactly good. THOUGHTLESSNESS This isn't a free advertisement for the greeting card people, but if anyone ever invented a more needed device than the man who brought out the modern sympathy card, then bring it forward. Short and to the heart you can find cards today for all cases in all places, and it's the little bit of sunshine that counts. Next time remember to remember to be more thoughtful DOLLARS AND MUSIC We often hear the criticism that Americans, and especially American business men, are not interested in music, art, and the better things in life. Instead, we are told, they are interested only in the dollar. This is not altogether true. It may be that the American business man is interested in the dollar, but it is usually the one who has the dollar who is interested in promoting the better things of life in order that those not so fortunate may enjoy them. For years it has been possible to present opera in this country only because the more wealthy dug down into their pockets for generous amounts each year in order that the public might enjoy this form of entertainment. The late George Eustman did much to promote the love of music by his large gifts, and through the Eastman School of Music. Last but not least, we are told that when Al Smith was a small boy he used to play "On the Sidewalks of New York." COTTON SOCKS No one would accuse the University students of dressing "aristocratically." Yet a few years ago that was the classical criticism heard throughout the state, coming in especially loud voices from the other state schools. The charge has been dropped because of the contradicting evi- The "engineers" have dressed in the rough as long as we can remember and probably will always disguise themselves as hard-working men. But now even the "laws" have laid aside the professional suit andandoned the carefree shirt and trousers. The cane, too, has been largely discarded as being, after all, not a necessary part of the lawyer's wearable apparel. cause of the contradicting evidence of leather jackets, light sweaters, and corduroy trousers to say nothing of those inexpensive little hats that the women wear perched on the back of their tossing heads. Politics, parties, relays, and the regular load of college work have been too much of a drain on our constitution this week. We have that tired, worn out feeling which is so often exploited by vendors of patent medicine. In order to be absolutely certain that our contemporaries will have no grounds to condemn us as being high-brows, we should exchange our white handkercheves for red ones, and let them dangle from our hip pockets like flags on a freight train. Over a glass of coke, we casually mentioned our feeling to the OIL FOR TROUBLES We did not go to the hospital because hospital staffs have a peculiar way of finding out things about us which are not pleasant. We did not feel like listening to a painful discovery about ourselves. There will be a meeting of the A, B, M, E at 7:30 on Thursday, April 28, in Marvin hall. Officers for next year will be elected. Entrobemens will be served.

He told us that we needed a tonic. We suggested a combination of sorghum, sulphur, and sassafras. But the druggist dismissed our brilliant idea with a look of scorn for such homely, cheap remedies. He sold us a small bottle of oil taken from the liver of halibut. He explained that the halibut had a much stronger liver than the cod, in fact, two and one-half times stronger. We are opposed to the use of oil in anything but machinery. He said the oil was nearly tasteless; that it formed a delightful mixture with coffee or milk. We've been taking our in coffee. And we think we know what was wrong all the time. The oil may be adding much-needed vitamins to our system, but we are quite sure we've been drinking too much coffee. Our Contemporaries The Purdue Exponent: THE CAMPUS ROMANCE The campus walks when entirely unobstructed by such groups are none too wide to handle the traffic that is pitted on the campus between classes. Some 3,600 students hurrying from one building in every possible direction in the tent school district require no small amount of time which to reach their destination in time. Those students whose tendencies mline toward romantic activities should remember that the campus walks were constructed for a purpose and have been holding of the "mass meetings." Incidentally, they will do well to reflect with Shakespeare that "Lovers are blind and do not see the follies they themselves commit." With the advent of the inquisitive atmosphere of spring days the casual observer again neites the appearance on the campus of an unusually large number of romantic young couples, unceasingly engaged in a public demonstration of their affections. Individuals hurry to the appointed meeting place between classes and proceed leisurely through the campus toward the scene of their next class, stopping their tracks now and then to pass the time until the next class bell summons them from the open campus to another hour in the business of the University. In manly respects the campus romance is a fine institution. Some philharmonic have gone so far as to assert that they need a woman or woman can glean from a college education is the selection durante college days of a suitable life mate. Apparently some students accept this goal as the chief reason for their spending four years at the University; others engage in pre-marital activities only as a means of division from studies and classroom no intentions of ultimate marriage. Be that as it may, the fact still remains that there are more desirable places for the pursuit of these activities. And the most important is very annoying to the student hurrying from class to class to be forced to get off the walk because two young boys fail to realize that that particular parental responsibility wasn't built expressly for their benefit. is a "hundredager" on some members of his class. These "hundredagers," we call them, are taught to the class as a whole class usually the second lesson to think it is all right You have all had classes under an instructor of this type. At least if you haven't it will be indeed unusual shouldn't have from without having the institute monitor under the guidance of some such sort of fellow. You know his method. Perhaps there are two or three members of the class who have come in late to class, coming in late to class. Maybe the class has one or two students who, being good fellows with us, are rather nimble. As it so happens the type of instruction of which we are speaking takes place in "riding" these particular students. A Car in Time Saves Nine--- Extra Worries The conduct of these students, even in class, is in a measure their own affair. Of course there are still a few instructionors who maintain that the members of the class is a matter not of the students concern alone, but in the case it is conceded that this is a place for more than high school attitudes. Even though such is the case, instructors have always referred to the "hundering" instructor will have some particularly bitter mortar of invective which he will suddenly hurt at one of his "minims" students. It is done in a light savantic manner—it is almost like a joke about the boo-boo beams. And usually the victim laughs a little bit too. But after all the "morel of invective" is usually storeeotyped and the humor of the whole situation is rather forced. In plain words it is a cheap sort of classroom showman- On thinking it over we don't believe we like the instructor who pulls "humidifiers" which deal with classroom items rather than a teacher (rather small and unhealthy ordinary).
