They were discussing politics at the dinner table. "All the people in Texas are Democrats, aren't they?" someone asked.
"Sure enough," answered the girl from Texas, "Everyone but the niggas and Republicans."
This sentence appeared on the blackboard in French composition on the subject of "Ants." "Aunts do not talk like men."
In the library the other day a timid student approached a studious individual with the question "where is the card catalogue?" The studious individual looked up in astonishment and repeated, "the card catalogue." He then asked, "Is it possible that it was locked up in one of the rooms in the basement."

Class Badges, Fall Olympics and Freshmen Advisory System Included in Plan
Frosh Can Fight Over Caps
Paid Auditor, Not a Student or Faculty Member ) Audit All Account
Under the by-laws, the proposed constitution particular nphasis will be held upon the fosters' ig of school spirit and traditions, elimination of bureaucracy, and mobilization of movements for the betterment of the University Mr. Monteith explained.

The principal feat self government as proposed new constitution on for adoption the disciplinary side structive side of Urcorning to John Moir or the Men's Student
of students in the be not h 18 is not the con- life activity h, president ancl.
Class spirit will be promoted, among other ways, by the wearing of class badges so that members of the various classes may recognize each other. Under the present system, Mr.Monteith pointed out, this class spirit is found only in the freeman class.
A series of Olympics will be held each fall on the morning of one of the big games between the freshmen and the sophomores to determine the status of the wearing of freshman caps. If the freshmen win they will wear the caps in the Spring; if they lose they must wear the caps.

Regularly appointed advisers, designated by special mentors, work with students with the new men and see that they are given the right start in their University life.
"Only a misunderstanding of the proposed new constitution and the administration of the law under it has eroded the confidence of citizenry from accepting self government." Monteith said. "The new constitution is not perfect but its is a step in the direction of better government, which will have every loyal student is interested."
