The Tearful Tale of Young Gustav, Who Hadn't the Stamina of Others
By J. Rankin Rinehart
By J. Rankin Rinehart.
Half blind for want of sleep and trembling with fatigue common to students who stay up too late at night I stumbled toward the sleeping porch at 3:38 a.m. quiz week. Despite our efforts, it took no longer than for the psychology note book that had dangled over me for seven weeks like the sword of Damocles was at last out of the way.
As I approached the cot where I was wont at times to slumber, my room mated roused and gazed at mr fixedly with glassy eyes.
"Can't have a radical in the d-homnator," he said thickly. "D'vide by pi maybe."
"Gotta get rid of the radical," he muttered fiercely. "Gotta get rid of the radical, I say."
He went on unheeding.
"I agree with you perfectly," said I. "They should all be deported. But let us discuss the matter some other time, Gustav."
"Ah, he sommilogizes," said I to myself as I lifted the cover. A half smothered shriek from Gustav destrained me.
"Don't get in bed!" he said wildly, scrambling on his up elbow and retreating to the edge. "Ost Stefano, don't you see that microcephalus lying there in wait for you?" With ultramarine eyes, and infra-red mane and tail! Don't touch him—he'll skin you alive!"
"nonsense," I soothed. "You're just nervous. Too many quizzes." "I've said three of 'en under the sod,' he replied with a trembling voice, "but I've got six more...the worst one!"
He was silent a moment, looking,
up at me with a strange light in his
blood-shot eyes. Suddenly he start-
ing to laugh, she fell into water with
horror at the screen on a spot.
"Look!" he gasped. "The laws of physics are breaking in—they're going to get me! And each of 'em caries a big blue pencil—they're looking for quiz books. Oh Stefano, save me!"
The wretched youth covered his face with his hands and trembled convulsively.
"Don't touch me, oh please," he moaned. "I'll be good to you tomorrow if my fountain pen holds out. Why are all of you here? He won't ask about all of you - I can't even remember some of your names."
"Come let's go to sleep now," said I, trying to quiet him and get into bed. "It will be all right in the morning. You've worked too hard—you can't help seeing things. Come, come,"
He began to sob softly.
Francis Martling, e20, spent the week-end in Kansas City, Mo.
"If it wasn't for the ferrocyanogen
ions in the mattress maybe I would
sleep," he quarued. "I know the
prof that put 'em in there too, I'll
give him when I'm through his course.
Oh why did I ever try to take
chemistry? No, it's not big one,
that's about to bust through
the mattress? He's a noorthiancine
ion. he's stirting them up the devil.
ion, his hindglove came out, just under that sheet. I could tell by that he belonged to the phylum subhydrophobia. 'Op'st over adjacent, maybe if I'd clear of fractions. 'No, he wouldn't ask us that. "See the big fish." How would you anemob gorbongs on? Why can't I call him a lizard instead of a rhynchophcelian, professor?' Tell the folks I gotna have more money to buy quiz books. "No time to write..."
Education at Beloit has been the victim of a "jinx." A year ago the high school building burned down and classes have been meeting in the various churches. Last week fire destroyed the Methodist church, the largest church in the town. A new high school in course of construction will be ready for occupancy next fall.
Thus he babbed through the greater part of the night, while I shivered and tried to quiet him. Sometimes he pleaded pitifully with me to drive away the monstrosities his overworked brain conjured up. At other times he had gone into a tight hug brought him to this harried condition. And again he sobbed softly, saying he could never pass his examinations. He had slept only a little when the first whistle blew. But alas, his mentality was a wreck. He was trembling and haggard and babbled almost as much as he had done through the terrible night. And worst of all, he would often be in the quizzes of that day instead of staying at home and resting, as I pleaded for him to do.
In despair, I called in our friend Nikolai.

"I'll take him up the Hill in the Beaustewen whenever he has to go," Nikola voluntered. "Maybe between us we can get him through." In most cases, that's not what he wants. Maybe we can keep him quiet. Poor Gus it's a sad case.
I had hoped his chaotic mind would enable him to put down the correct answers automatically, and in this way he could answer all of his quiz books full of the disconnected, confused gibberish he uttered constantly. It was with sadness that I saw Gustav turn in the books to his instructors at the close of each order.
Together we piloted the tettering and feverish Gustav to and from his examinations. But, alas, it was worse than I feared.
Then came a period of waiting for grades which was too much for poor Gustav. In two days his babbling was stilled, and he lay in a死like trance. A few hours later the exhausted body of my unfortunate room mate drew its last breath and he died — a martyr.

Next day all the cards he had enclosed with his quiz books were returned. To my surprise, each bore the record of an excellent grade in the final, and a high standing in the course.
The Students Self-Governing Association is now the governing body of the Kansas State Agricultural College, and the college having been approved last week.
For none of the instructors had looked at Gustav's quiz books.
The Howard High School Herald boasts of the fact that New York has nothing on the girls from the Kansas town. The conclusion is based on the fact that the girls are successful in finding their wraps on the girls from Kansas, which means that the girls could survive the big crowds on Fifth and Broadway.

Structural and dynamic Geology course numbered 71, will be repeated the second semester and be restricted to the restrictions named in the cat alog. Professor E. Haworth
There is a very general misconception among students and to some extent among faculty advisors to the effect that students who have entrance credit for American history taken in the college will be American history for credit in the college. The restriction applies only to the general course given by Professor Davis. All other courses in American history are open to students who have entrance credit for American history taken in the college school. H Holder
