Dragging or Carrying l6 Hours
TliTID-TERM warnings are out this week, a notice from Karl
W. Onthank, dean of personnel administration, says in yes
terday’s Emerald.
It will be interesting to see how the number of mid-term
warnings, sent to students with unsatisfactory mid-term grades,
will compare with previous years.
The current campus feeling seems to be that for some in
explicable reason courses in all branches of the University are
more difficult this year. Everywhere one hears, “I study as
hard as I ever have, but I can’t seem to get anything out of
it.” Conscientious students and the really inte ligent ones, of
whom we have a few, are included in this group.
The reason for the apparent increased difficulty in studies
this year we have not ascertained. Perhaps professors, over
loaded with teaching hours as a result of the lack of funds with
which to hire an adequate teaching staff, do not have the time
to smooth out the rough spots. These the students must get
for themselves.
If this is the answer, the students who can and will work
will undoubtedly benefit enormously from the slash in the Uni
versity budget. Likewise, students who are incapable of doing
University standard work will be weeded out and perhaps will
find a place for themselves where University education is not
an essential prerequisite.
Mid-term warnings indicate that it is time for students to
check up and see just how well they are making the grade.
The Libraries Open
'T'ONIGHT, for the first time this term, the libraries will be
open on a Friday evening. Closed previously these nights
at (> o'clock because of a cut in operating expenses, the libraries
will be opened unti 9 o’clock Fridays because a campus-wide
expression of student sentiment demanded the move.
Opening of the libraries on a night when many students must
prepare for Saturday classes comes as a victory for the student
administration. It has been Brian Mimnaugh, student body
president, who has led the fight for opening the libraries on
Friday nights. He has won and so has the campus with him.
Librarian Douglass' move will meet with a chorus of approval
from the campus, we know. But his decision to open the libraries
on Friday evenings is not a permanent one. The buildings will
go back on the early closing schedule if their service is not
reasonably used. But student appeals for opening of the libraries
have been too insistent to let us believe they have not been
sincere. In our opinion, the libraries are as good as open now
on Friday nights for the rest of the school year.
Quality or Quantity?
TNIT1ATE quality or quantity? This is the question fraterni
ties on the campus must face now. The change in the Uni
versity’s grading system this fall and a consequent proposed
rearrangement of grade points has put the initiation matter up
to the men’s Creek-letter organizations squarely.
There are three solutions open to the fraternity presidents.
Houses can adopt either the 12 grade point requirement, the .75
of a grade point per hour plan, or use a double standard.
The 12-point busis would make for quantity initiation. This
lias been pointed out by Dr. C. L. Huffaker in a survey of the
grades of more than 200 University students here. The .75 plan
would approach quality more. The double standard would tend
to bring a balance between the two forces.
Wisely, the interfraternity council will not choose the initia
tion standard for about two weeks. Fraternity presidents must
have time to study all the ramifications of the three solutions
open to them. House heads could best come to some decision
by studying the mid-term grade reports of their pledges to see
how many of them would fall into the various grade groups.
If careful thought is given to the question these next two weeks,
the best solution possible is sure to be readied.

of a righteous cause, is stronger than all the hosts of Error.—

“ETHYL”
Sound the cymbals and beat the

hol’s report on the Stigma Alfalfa
Whoopsalong house, located on the
corner of Sporteenth and Brawl
der Streets:
Dear Pal (Abb. of Palooka):
This has been a long time coming,
but consider what I had to go
through to get it. The night I
went over for dinner, X was met
at the door by Kop Ee Ching, the
oriental houseboy, who bore under
his arm a surly looking beast,
which I thought first was a (log,
and later found out was a dog.
Proceeding to a large room near
the door, I discovered the bros
lying about on the mantles, piano,
and radio, all fast asleep. Observ
ing this, and the houseboy having
disappeared, I stole silently about
the house.
On the main floor I found the
dining room, several small guest
rooms, and one indescribable cham
ber onto which I stumbled unthink
ingly. In this room was another
radio, a fireplace, a number of
snapshots, and strangest of all, a
sort of elliptical sphere on which
were written several famous names'
which I had seen somewhere but
couldn’t place.
I started upstairs, but Silver
Thaw, whom I found later to be
the house pride, interrupted me.
With him was Garrison Stinkaid. I
didn’t find out whether they named
the streets after him or not. They
pounced upon me with menacing
gestures, and demanded what I
wanted. When I told them, they
merely roared deafeningly and
threw me in the waste basket,
where I lay stunned until dumped
out into the tennis court the next

“SAM”
Slapjack Sam drew his bifocals
and fired. The great beast lay dead
at his feet. Turning, he saw sev
enty-two others charging down
upon him (well, seventy-one, if you
want to be mean about it). Thun
dering on they came. On they
came, thundering. Came they
thundering on. (If you can think
of any better way to pad this
thing, do it yourself, you big dish
of oatmeal.)
Anyway, on they came, but the
grisly old fighter was not fright
ened. In fact he was not conscious.
He roused himself from his coma
just in the nick of time. He brave
ly fought off the monsters, and,
putting his hands in his pockets,
singled out the leader of the herd.
The great pachyderm withered un
der his gaze. Finally, under a hot
fire of cream puffs and pistachio
nuts, the herd retreated in great
disorder.
Slapjack Sam grinned. The sun
was settling behind the asure hills.
All v/as silent. The tiger man had
found his true happiness.
Theater Workshop Moved
To 13th and Onyx Streets
The Theatre Workshop, former
ly situated on the first floor of the
Architecture building, has been
moved to a house on Thirteenth
and Onyx streets.
It is believed that this change
will be an improvement for the
members of the Theater workshop
and those of the pottery depart
ment, both of which were crowded
into comparatively small quarters.

The Heart Bomb
Of Aunt Eppie
Dear Aunt Eppie:
When I first came to school my
hair was a very beautiful shade of
platinum blonde. I became known
far and wide as the “Platinum
Blonde.” This new shade of blonde
dazzled the boys and I was rushed
on all sides for dates. Now I am
losing my power, my beautiful hair
is starting to fade. Truthfully
Aunt Eppie, what would you sug
gest ?
Fearfully,
Merry Beensent.
Dear Merry:
In a severe case like yours, I
would suggest as the only remedy
that you get out the old peroxide
bottle once again. This will restore
the glittering shade and bring the
boys back, clamoring for dates;
but remember, darling, all that
glitters is not gold.
As ever,
Aunt Eppie.

I liked Chesterfield right from
the start.
Everybody likes a cigarette that’s
milder. Chesterfield is just that and
tastes better too. It’s made from milder,
better-tasting tobaccos. And pure ciga
rette paper—the purest made.
Smoke as many as you like—the last
Chesterfield of the day is as mild and
smooth as the first. Try one today—
you’re hound to like them. They Satisfy!
