nn Wsm, —mm——i— the BATTALION STUDENT OPINION (Continued from Page 3 ) a subject. Study, with proper coach ing, can make a hard course easy- and the old men of the college are so desirous of being: of assistance that they go out of their way to offer aid. H^w to Start the Year Write y THE Y. M. C. A. IS YOUR Y. M. C. A. The Y. M. C. A. is under the ad ministration of a new and able sec retary who seeks to promote the ideal of the College that every man who leaves it will be strong mentally, mor ally and physically. The aim of the Y is to provide for the social and religious life of the students and to exert a wholesome influence on their work, life and in terests. For this purpose a Y build ing is maintained, providing a com mon meeting place for the students at all times. Here are found indoor games, magazines and newspapers, and music. Then too, the Y is help ful insofar that it serves as a bu reau of information. Freshmen abol ish the idea that if you hang around the Y that you may be called or dub bed a Y Fish by some unthoughtful Soph. Those days are gone and each year the Y is doing a greater and a more earnest work. Freshmen fre quent this place, for you have every thing to gain and nothing to lose. The Y is active, and works in unison with all church denominations, always ready to provide a place for social and religious gatherings, club and class meetings. Ask the old men and get on the line. Certainly there is room on the campus for such an organi zation and the Y is doing a great work for the students. Lou, said the venerable Dean to the very young person beside his desk, u the very best start you can make in college is to get yourself a fine new fountain pen. Nothing like it for lecture notes, required readings, memoranda. Provided it’s dependable. Now this one, I myself have used for a college generation!” The dear old Dean might just as well have said, “Go get yourself a Wahl Pen.” For there is no foun tain pen that’s more of a help in any course—it writes like a charm, it holds more ink, it fills up in a jiffy and refills clean—and it’s the most dependable of all. Romp over to the Wahl Pen and Eversharp counter now, and get yourself the Wahl you like. All styles there — slim, thick, long, short: every one of ’em holding far more ink than other pens that look much bigger. Nice looking, too: solid gold or sterling silver, gold- or silver-filled, red, black, or mottled rubber. Exactly the point that suits your hand: stiff or flex ible, fine, medium, stub, oblique or Wahl Standard Signature—all in iridium-tipped solid gold. From cap to nib, a Wahl Pen’s practically indestructible. One bought now will last you all through college and the first six jobs beyond. $3 to $7 for the silver or rubber $6 and Northward for the gold WAHL PEN ‘THE ROMANTIC COMMEDIANS’ Ellen Glasgow’s new novel, “The Romantic Commedians,” is a tragedy of old age. She has diverged from the path usually trod by the novelist, and she has done it with a keen and com prehensive psychology of her char acters and the result is a fine story which leaves a taste of reality, of sincerity, in the mouth of the most discerning critic. & The theme of the novel is the life of an old Southern gentleman whose devoted wi?e has died and who has again married a very young woman, who in turn deserted her aged lover and capitulated to one who had vigor and youth, the inexorable demands of love of early womanhood. The ultimate goal of the story: to show the hold the love instinct has on ' man, its struggle with common sense and judgment and its final vic tory over the forces of convention, good taste, and prudence, is told with powerful directness. The story would be deeply tragic if it were not for one humorous char acter who is used at the same time as a tool to voice the new thought process of Southern tradition. The epigrammatic style and ironi cal flavor makes us think of Joseph Conrad. What he has done to justify the strength, the romance, and glam- mour of youth, Miss Glasgow has done for old age, making us love and under stand it, but reminding us that often it is pathetically tragic, and drab as a leaden winter day.
