As usual we profit by this realisation too late. Aud mfere us lop ms the dreaded ordeal of final exkminations. \ Final examinations are generally considered in an ill light fatit Acre is a b mefit to be derived from them. The final examination will provide a way out for those who are having difficulty with their work but have ant opportunity to pass, and will protfde an opportunity for passing stucents to acquire grade points. Under the new grafting sys tem the fia4l examination will represent one-third of the term's grade with the work done during the term represeating the remaining two- thirds. Although intensive study for the examinations this late ia the term would constitute “cramming”, it is obvious that in. three weeks time it would be possible to acquire some permanent useful knowledge of the varicus courses in contrast to the paiaful, overnight ‘cram ming" common to the “D” quisles of previous years. Begin your preparations now and profit by what you might have feared. * . : _ jV i 11 j'/ LIGHTS \ jli A progressive innovation for the current session is the new light ing plan, by which electricity for lighting MtfpMms will be maintained in the dormitories through the daytime whereds it was formerly dis continued at eight a. m. This development has been achieved by the Student Welfare Committee and this new plan is anly tentative de pending upon student cooperation. Although the year 1932 was discouraging id qome phases, the first term' of ' the) current session ' was enlightened by many progressive moves on the part of the college and the students. This new develop ment will become one of them if not sbusdd. j j | \ The Welfare Committee has done its work well in sscuringNJthis tentative change and it now becomes the daty of the students to See that lightiag power is not needlessly wasted, is efficiently used, ar that the plan becomes permanent instead of tdptatfofe- Ik. ^ ▼. !f DANIEL ELSSELL H‘»d of the Department of Rural So, 10I010 Dan Russell, as he is known oy practically every member of the student body and faculty, was born August 26, 1899 at EUisviUe, Miss issippi. His father was a timber cdntractor, so the Russel family moved quite often, young Dan be- reared and receiving his early lion through various ports of Missbpippi Finally his father’s health failed and the family moved to Texas \in quest of better cli- mptic eondfUo he found a job id « cafeteria pay ing him sixty cents an hour, so ha started to school to receive a mas ter’s degree in sociology^ During; the entire three years that he worked on his masters degree, Mr. Russell payed hip entire Way and sent money home to his younger sisters and brothers that they too may receive their educations. Dur ing this period of his e*<u< •lion, he received employment that would be beneficial financially apd at the aarae time place him in contact with crowd* so that he ntight study them sock)logicsU5r. In thi* manner he received information that has been the background of j his re search in preparation for both hie master’s and doctor’s degree. After working bne month in the cafeteria, he was employed as a check-room boy at a “tsn-centa a dance” hall. Later he was made “Bouncer” for the establishment and in this capacity gradually be came acquainted with members of various gangs. Leaving this j he worked for for the Juvenile Protective Asso ciation of Chicago, studying condi tions in dance hajls and cabarets His work in this ixxitioa brought him in contact was Chief ef Police.
