REVENGE
(In which Frank But tram splits an infinitive)
F
RANK Buttram your honor of regents the chief
Arose from his scat lo address me and you
And out of dread boredom he brought this relief
By choosing in chapel “to brief ly review"
Frank Buttram who ruled with a stern steely hand
And issued an edict that pep clubs were thru
Thus causing the I founds and tlx Neks to disband
Brought humor by choosing "to briefly review"
The Girl Friend
Keeps Silence
A phenomena of the modern system of co-education
is the la:t that a single standard of conversa-
tion exists in most class-rooms vhile tlx double jF
standard is almost universal in outside discussions
The fact that college women will declaim at
length and intelligently upon such subjects as poli-
tics the labor situation or tlx country's financial
outlook in the classroom and yet maintain a meek
silence in the presence of male listeners in tlx draw-
ing room is a tendency which has been overcome by
only a few of the more forward seekers of ’'women’s

Frank Buttram a statesman who chooses to run
For tlx chair of governor tlxrc to pursue
A program of ruling brought out all this fun
By rising before us "to briefly review"

A Book In Time
Saves 3 1 any A Dime
Why isn’t the date that a book is due stamped on
tlx cover slip when it is loaned to a student'
In view of the fact that the new library has been
given to and received by the university the dedi-
cation speeches made tlx speakers departed and the
new library well started on its way as a part qf the
university plant such a question seems timely
The present practice of trusting the memory or
bookkeeping efficiency of the average student to warn
him wlxn a book is due is sound in theory but im-
practical in actual use College students just aren’t
that careful The result is inconvenience to the stu-
dent and needless work for the loan department

Perhaps as one whose English is not all that schol-
ars intend English should be we arc overstepping
our bounds of propriety in our criticism but we
could not overlook the opportunity and the infin-
itive has been split let the Farts fall where they may
The Theta Sigma Phi-Sigma Delta Chi lun-
cheon Friday noon might not have been the
outstanding event of the dedication program
’ but it was unique There were no speeches and
that made it worth attending

can be carried to too great a degree
’ -There are plausible exceptions to every rule and
tlx insistence by university authorities that the date
hour law be enforced rigidly with th: exception of
one night in the year seems to be mere blind tenacity
This university is one of the few in the country

Aren’t
You Sorry?
JWe told you so Here we have gone on year in
aiid year out warning the student body not to miss
chapel exercises and stressing your duty to tlx old
Alma Mater but you didn’t pay any attention to us
and when the library was formally presented every-
one went over to the Union for -their chapel coke
And missed it all The biggest event in tlx history
of the university! No no not the library — the rope
that fell on Frank Buttram
Everybody thought this library stuff was going
to be prety dull Just like a newspaper reporter
said after an interview with Canby “This literary
stuff sure don’t make good interviews” The cam-
pus needed some human touch to get away from the
mechanical mentality of the formal dedicatory pro-
gram And that rope was it Praise (God Ruf
Neks or D D M C) from whom this blessing
flowed “You nays your money and you takes your
choice”— W B "

Some group or other has asked congress to prevent
the national anthem from dying a sad death It is
no doubt an evil condition that no one seems to
jknow any but the first verse of "The Star Spangled
Banner” but since the only thing that could revive
a great deal of interest would be a war we arc not
particularly interested in having congress hurry about
it It probably won't Congress isn’t noted for
harrying anyway
The library has been rather thoroly dedicated
by now despite the efforts of Kappa Beta Phi
to turn thing into a desecration ceremony
Ever-so-many people are inclined to feel neglected

seemed a dry celebration contrary to custom in this
great prohibition state of this great arid republic

ment Dino Grande is satisfied with having
reported definitely the Italian attitude
and states that Mussolini has formally
