The coeds of a western university
1iae resolved to conserve capital
by abstaining from sweets and
drinks between meals Both sexes
in Oklahoma could with propriety
adopt this ‘ same attitude
o
With the finals at hand the stu-
dents hd better let the new pine
bench in front of the Sooner shop
rest and trust the summer scholars
to work it into proper shape with
their pocket knives
o
DON’T YOU THINK SO?
The man or woman who could
deliberately walk away with a fellow
student's hat or other article of
clothing ought to have perished
long ago in the tranches of some
European or South African battle-
field The university is no place
for such n lowdown cur he ought
to have fierve enough t go around
to tbe back door and nk for n
hand-out
CUT IT OUT
Is possibly no college
There
In
America which has a landscape j visions of that constitution What
gardner who takes more pride in the the members of the council think
appearance-of his campus than our j ought to lie thelnw Is Immaterial
own A beautiful campus Is the They are guilty of a breach of
pride of any school and its green jduty when they allow personal pre-
and flower-bedecked appearance is fereiico ’ previous mutual agree-
n pleasure to the students uho In-1 merits or nny other considerations
habit It and to visitors who oc to cause them to fall to carry out
casionally view it
In spite of the efforts being put
forth by the landscape gardner to
grow attractive flowers on the? uni
xcn-lty grounds many students are
low down enough to pluck them
right nnd left ns soon ns blossoms
appear This selfish attitude on the
part of tli guilty persons Is not be-
coming sentiments of Sooner spirit Attend the one cent sale nt May
The offenders should hvf self field’s Friday Saturday nnd Monday
respect enough to refrain from this
evidencing the s)mptoins of the cly-
ptoninnlae If they cannot do this
of tills own record t ho law should
he enforced The I1rt person caught
In the net of stealing any pu 1 4 of
the campus whatsoever should he
publicly put to shame the second
suspended and the third cxpfllrd
from the unlcrity
WAKE IT!
In t ho excitement which has fol-
lowed wnr-llke nffalrs on the uni-
versity campus n general unrest hns
taken possesion of the student body
Students who were known Eitenr
to make straight A’s are flunking
out in their studies and a "cram-
session” such as was formerly the
order of the day at this time of the
year is practically unheard-of
All this has come about simply
because people have become excited
and hate to concentrate their ef-
forts on school work No one doubts
that this is the most important part
of the semester so far as the year’s
seholstic standing of a student is
concerned yet in the face of it all
there is probably more time wasted
right now than there ever has been
As a result fountain trade at the
Varsity and Sooner shops has taken
on a boom and the picture shows
are doing a rushing business
In spite of the fact that the offi-
cers training- corps and the baek-to-the-farm
movement have taken a
big per cent of the students the
money that is being “blown in” by
students probably exceeds anything
that has ever been known at" the
university
This condition is general It is
not any special number of students
that are loafing it is the whole
body
And students don't enjoy it either
They stay asleep because — well
just because
Wake up! Pinch yourself and see
j how niuch !t to fracl J'our
'profs on those finals when you're
wide awake

STUDENT COUNCIL'S RULING
It is with regret that we note the
ruling of the present student coun-
sustaining the erroneous
ruling of the old council in regard
to the eligibility of E D W Kipp
for the office of editor of the sooner
Amendment VI article 1 section
1 of the constitution of the student
association adopted January 16 and
under-which the May election was
held reads as follows: “Any stu
dent regularily enrolled in the uni-
versity who has completed at least
two years of work in any college or
school thereof nnd who shall have
at least another year of work to
complete in the university nt the
time of election shall ho eligible for
the office of editor of the Sooner”
Kipp Is a freshman law and Is not
eligible for this office under the
amendment Ioney has completed
5S hours of work In the university
cil
and was the only eligible candidate
for this office
The student body Is governed by
the constitution it-waS adopted and
It is the duty of the student coun-
cil to carry Into effect the pro-
tin' strict provisions of our con-
stitution Unless the council rcrlnds Its an-
nounced ruling we ehnrge the mem-
tiers of the council who are res-
