8 THE BATTALION BRYAN NURSERY & FLORAL CO. PHONE 266 LOUISIANA FALLS IN STANDING OF PUPILS BRYAN Tate & Newsome, Student Representatives ; * i k And they lived happily ever afterwards! m * ■ Once upon a time there was a man whose life’s ambition was to take unto himself a pipe. Time and again his heart was set on some particular pipe—but poor fellow, his dreams never came true. . . Until one day a friend, experienced in such affairs, gave him a few pointers. He took his friend’s advice; he got some Granger Rough Cut... It worked! In a few weeks’ time he was solidly wedded to a wonderful pipe... sitting pretty, fixed for life! Indeed, but for Granger many a man would never know the joy and comfort of a pipe! Granger is so mild, so mellow, so cool! Ripe old Burley tobacco, mellowed Wellman’s way. And cut in rough flakes that burn slow and smoke cool. . . Granger’s mission in life is to see that no man ever experiences a pipe disappoint ment. . . Just stick to Granger and your old pipe’ll be a perfect pal—right through the years. Forever! GRANGER Rough Cut The half-pound vac- uum tin is forty-five cents, the foil-pouch package, sealed in glassine, is ten cents. Made for pipes only! Granger Rough Cut is made by the Liggett <S^ Myers Tobacco Company Intelligence and ability of fresh men attending colleges and universi ties in Louisiana were not as good during 1925-26 as during the previous two years, acording to figures re leased at the recent meeting in Jack- son, Miss., of the Southern Associa tion of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Freshmen failures in Louisiana in the last two years were 16.4 per cent, a drop from third to eigth in stand ing among the Southern states. How ever, says Dr. Lyon, who was elected chairman of this year’s convention, too sweeping an impression may be gained from these figures. The statistics do not mean that the entire percentage “busted” but mere ly that the total was derived from all first year men who failed in one or more subjects, said Dr. Lyon. Any number of reasons can be advanced in explanation of the increase. More rigid entrance requirements less efficient preparatory schools or incompetent instructors in certain branches were mentioned by Dr. Lyon as possible excuses. He absolved pres ent day college life from blame, ex pressing the belief that lack of ability was mostly responsible for freshman failures. He cited the fact that students who devote considerable time to sports or other campus activities frequently stand higher in their classes than their fellows. There are also types who do not fit into the college world, said Dr. Lyon, students who strive tut do not succeed in making the grade. Such types are advised to give up the at tempt to master collegiate studies and enter the busirw->c, s -world. —The Tulane Hullabaloo. WATCH THIS SPACE! •£* MATERIALS FOR UNIFORMS.
