THE FRESHMAN INITIATION
Last night the student was carried back to the beginnings of the University. He learned the nature of his heritage. He learned that the leaders had a struggle to keep up the life of the University and to build for the future, in the same way that the present administration must make an continual effort to keep up the standards and to build for the future.
The student took the Athenian oath, pledging his loyalty; by positive action and self-restraint. He has voluntarily placed himself under obligation to help retain and to strengthen those things which are his heritage.
The effect of this new ceremony on the life of the University is directly dependent on the attitude of the students. If the future action of students bear out promises made last night, this invitation will in course of years become a worthwhile tradition and the ceremony itself will become an event of importance in University life.
TAKE YOUR QUIZ
Already some of the instructors have announced quizzes for the coming week. They're checking up to see which students have started in earnest, which ones are working in the course, and to determine which are really interested, and which are merely "taking" the course.
It may be a really good thing for the student himself, too, though the announcements are always met with many explanations of disapproval. It is just a little early to have become well established in all the subject and to have a writing knowledge of them, but it does offer a certain chance for readjustment on the part of both the instructor and of the student.
But whatever be the attitude of the helpless student, all his violent protests avoid nothing. He is powerless in the hands of the higher authority, and must necessarily reconcile himself to his fate. In other words, it behooves the student to study and pass the said quizzes, thus preventing the possibility of bringing the wrath of the gods down upon him.
EXQUISITISM
Before dad digs down in the old family sock to send son off to college perhaps he wonders what college will back in place of son John. This is it.
When John reaches college, almost invariably his first expenditure is for clothes. Many a youth who want to look normal in Republic county is striving to be the smallest dresser on the campus while at college.
Son John purchases a new suit, not one of the ordinary kind, but one which smacks of Mardi Gras, race tracks and fancy dress parties. He gets complete outlay of eye-injury neckwear, kaleidoscopic sex, and demoralizing shirts. He purchases a slicker tattoo like the front flap of a side show. He buys a top coat and overcoat which will be out of style next year but cost enough for three. Then he buys a cigar holder and hat to match for twelve dollars. None of these expenditures might
be called extravagance if sanity were
used when they are made. If so, John is going to dress in the latest style he should be aware that the latest styles do not last always. If he is going to discard his apparel when the next fashion comes along why should he buy the most expensive on the market?
Three dollars and a half is too much to pay for a load necktie when the designs change with the moon. Sixty dollars is too much to pay for a top coat that will look costly a season hence. Five dollars is too much to pay for a green shirt when red shirts will be worn in a month or so. Ten dollars is too much to pay for a fadh hat that will be worn in the rain when the new ones come in. Sixty-five dollars is too much to pay for a suit that would cause a riot in any small community.
But these are not exaggerations.
These prices have been paid by students when their parents have often cut down on their own outlay for clothing to send them to college.
At Thanksgiving or Christmas did sees the beginnings of what college will send back in place of John and he raises the hired man's wages for having some enough to stay away from college.
HOW SOME FACULTY MEM BERS GO ABOUT THINGS.
A student $n$ lies into class late and a more or less irritated instructor punches long cough in his lecture to express his thoughts in such a way that the offending student is left in no doubt whatever as to the state of the instructor's mind concerning late comers.
But that same instructor will fail to bear the whistle and placially continue the lectures, or what is worse, merely ignore it with a wave of his hand while he says, "just a moment, let me give you this last point." Meanwhile the students steadily gather their books together, glance armously at their watches, and finally, as the one point lengthens to four or five, sneak out of class, mentally arranging an alibi for the next instructor.
The extent of the campus is well known by both faculty members and students. The administration of the University realized it too and so arranged the ten minutes between classes to allow the students time to walk from one building to another and reach their class rooms without being short of breath and mentally disconcerted.
After all students are only normal human beings, and the distance from a class on the second floor of Fraser to West Administration is all they

can be expected to cover in the next ten minutes without in being held over time by some professor. And now that classes are being held in Myers Hall it is just a little more than too much to expect students to remain and listen to an instructor who is unable to talk fast enough during the hour given him to finish his entire lecture and must keep his classes until time for their next hour class.

The General Electric Company is the world's largest manufacturer of lampas. And behind the G-E MAZ24 lamps are vast research facilities that help to cheaper and better electric illumination, and greater conservation of eyesight.
A series of G-E advertisements show what a lot of people will be sent many fields will be sent for booklet GEK-1.
More than 350,000,000 incandescent lamps, with a combined light of nine billion candlepower, make city streets, stores, and homes brighter than ever before.
In bungalow or mansion, workshop or factory, dormitory or auditorium, there is no excuse for poor illumination. We have cheaper and better lighting in the electric lamp than ever before; for the dollar that bought 1,115 candlepower-hours of light with the carbon-filament lamps of 1886, now buys 16,200 candlepower-hours of light with the MAZDA lamps.
Not only more light, but correctly applied light, is the order of the day. The electric lamp, with its glameless yet highly concentrated light source, lends itself ideally to reflectors, shades, and screens. It is controlled light - safe light. And illumination becomes an exact science.
During college days and in after life, correct lighting must ever be of paramount importance to the college man and woman. Good lighting is the worthy handsonide of culture and progress.
