THE BATTALION Easter Eggt (A v'ew contrary to “Hard Words From a Hard-Boiled Co-ed/* which appears in The Skiff of T. C. U., March 25,- 1925.) Co-eds—blah! They think they are the end and aim of a college man’s existence, his very reason for being where he is. They car't be expected to realize that they are a side issue in our lives—that would spoil their fun. Love ? There is no buch word in a co-ed’s serious vocabulary. Its flame was so weak that it t irnt out in the first freshman affair. She thinks of nothing but eating and necking, and is not particular about what, when, who or where. She expects us to eschew our “chawing” tobacco, against which her esthetic sense revolts, and to replen ish her “jawing gum”; to forego our vile cigars, which impair her facile breathing, and to smoke her favorite cigarettes. She expects us to dance half the night with her, and to excel in our classes next day by means of those pretty evasions and diversions of which she is so thoroughly capable. She prefers that we be dumb in the classroom rather than that she be deaf to our discussion of those ques tions which are taboo in her lofty mind. Can we respect a girl who monop olizes all our time on the campus, rides in our cars, specializes in the vocation of the “forty-niners”, ex pects us to tag and carry for her and feel amply rewarded by a saccharine smile; who assumes the human touch of friendship while with us—then be rates us to her acquaintances; who feeds our natural desires with her spicy repartee and “technique”—liv ing on the thrill of uncertainty, yet balking at the greater thrill of cer tainty; and who, above all else, ex pects us to fawn at her feet in ador> ation. To her the greatest joke is the lad who believes himself all-wise in the ways of women, yet she classifies all of us into a few distinct groups, of which only one class has possibilities —as entertainment, or as a test of her “technique.” There is one excep tion. He is the helpless little fellow, sweet and innocent—a simp, she calls him. You have see a men string min nows on hooks in order to catch larg er fish? The analogy is perfect. Eve got the edge on Adam by eat ing of the apple first, and we give thanks every day that ours is not a co-educational college. .3. * ♦♦♦ ♦$* *> ♦> *J* ♦> ❖ ❖ *■!* •J* ❖ * ❖ TRAGEDIES OF THE * ❖ WEEK. * ❖ * •£* ^ The inspecting officers were here. ❖ ❖ * It seems like Louis Dodson has waited mighty late in the year to win the favor of Sally Boyett but he s go ing fine and seems to be enjoying great success. * Dean Puryear chased “Sot” Fry away from the typewriter in his of fice three times last week. :|j :H 'l- John Dana didn’t get to have a date with Sis Askin this last week-end. * * :{: All of Taylor enjoyed A.

HANDY ANDY SAYS: It’s an awful thing to get up in the morning if you have to, but is a pleasant sound to hear the alarm bell call if you know that it is ringing at the right time and that you have gotten every bit of sleep to be had. Best way is to get the best clock that not only keeps the best time but is so well made that the alarm actually goes off ; the time you set it and not fifteen or twenty minutes be fore or after. You can get an alarm clock that rings to the minute at PARKER-ASTIN HARDWARE CO. It Isn’t a Question OF HO IV MUCH MONEY YOU SPEND FOR CLOTHES- IT’S KNOWING WHERE and HOW TO SPEND IT.
