4 THE BATTALION LOCALS Mr. J. N. Michie left Thursday for Virginia ot attend the bedside of his mother. It is reported on good authority that Lindy strapped the fish that rescued the hig ram book. We are indeed glad to see the two new swings in Saunders Park, the gift of Pete Saunders. Miss Vesta Otto left Monday for Houston, after an extended visit at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Car- son. Mr. W. T. Atkinson, graduate C. E. TO, and “Red” Easterwood, who was a Junior when T2 class were fish, were visiting here this week. R. E. Dickson has discovered why they wash the building stones in acid. He says it is done to remove tobacco stains. ^ A feature of the fire was the break ing out of all the window lights after it was clear that the building was doomed. This was done by the cadets in order to get full value of the trust fund. “Who pulled the cover off my bed?” Good Eye shrieked aloud. “I’ll get that slimy creature yet. If I have to lick the crowd. With Koimn for a second And Preacher now in view. He decided to give him battle Without any more ado. He said unto his second: “I’ll set this matter right. Or become upon my downfall The horrors of the fight.” | Preacher fought with manly skill His great antagonist. | First with argument in vain. And then with doubled fist. j Though Good Eye fought with valor, WeTe sorry to relate. In the midst of the encounter He forgot to concentrate. He left a tiny opening Which Preacher chanced to spy, As he hit him with a liner Advisory System at Cornell. The faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences at Cornell University has adopted a system of advisers for un derclassmen. For some years there has been in operation a system of upperclass advisers, which provided that at the beginning of the Junior year students must choose as an ad viser a professor or assistant profes sors to take the major portion of his upperclass work. The new plan has been originated in response to the be lief that it would be advisable to give more systematic assistance to Fresh men and Sophomores in such matters as choice of studies and arrangement of courses. Hereafter every underclassman, must choose, or will have assigned to him, some member of the faculty To whom he may go for advice in the selection of his studies. It is the duty of the adviser to establish friendly relations with the students in his charge and make them feel that he will be glad to confer with them on other subjects than the choice of studies. And, as with the present sys tem of upperclass advisers, the under classman’s study card must be ap proved and signed by his adviser be fore it will be accepted at the dean’s office. No one adviser will have more than ten underclassmen under his charge.—New York Evening Post. In the corner of his eye. The act so riled our hero That he punched at Preacher’s nose, And made the blood gush torrents Down the linings of his clothes. The second called the battle off With neither side ahead. And the question still unsettled: “Who tore up Good Eye’s bed?” L’AMOUR D’ARGENT. She loved me, that I knew. She only waited for a chance To answer yes to my request; My love for her could not enhance. Ergo I did my level best To start myself anew. But time has brought to bear A change in me but not in her. I love her now with sudden zeal, And nuptial tie will soon occur; For now, I get a handsome deal— She is a millionaire. —Cyrus F. Smythe.
