change in
that is causing- considerable comment
among seniors at present. That is the
question of underclassmen receiving
and wearing the senior ring before
their registration as seniors. Here-to-
fore there have been only a few trans
gressors, having received theirs by
special order through Bryan agents,
but this year the junior class has con
tracted to have their senior rings de
livered before the end of the current j
term. We do not believe that the jun- j
iors thought this over when they made
the schedule of the pic-
tui-es, and to save the students from
going to Bryan to see a show that
will later be shown here, and allow
him to select the shows that will not
be shown at College, the schedule for
the rest of the term is published.

Contrary to general opinion, the
“Powers that be” are not altogether !
April 14, “Johnny Get a Hair Ctu.”
April 15, “War Paint.”
April 16, “Devil’s Circus.”
April 20, “The Gay Deceiver.”
April 23, “There You Are.”
April 27, “Monte Carlo.”
April 30, “Battling Butler.”
This schedule should be saved for
to blame for the fact that this is not future reference, as the show that is
the best school in the world. (Pardon
us, Jake), We have, among the un
dergraduates, several mildly amusing
and rather amusing types.
First there is the type that has let
athletics affect the natural function
ing of an already weak mind. They
somehow manage to find a complete
set of the most disreputable clothes
possible, usually supplemented by a
peaked-crown hat, with perhaps the
aid of a sweater, and are prone to
consider these things as a positive
grant of privilege to segregate them
selves from all but their kind; speak
ing seldom, and then with a grudge
unless there is a motive other than
ordinary decency. The only thing to
be regretted is the fact that the great
majority of the athletes, who are of
a very likeable sort, often fall in this
classification, due to hasty judgment.
Certainly, the loss of this association
is negligible unless, perhaps one is
studying the psychology of the moron.
Next there are the politicians who,
like a certain line of English Kings,
assume all offices theirs by Divine
right. In most cases it is by right of
the fact that the largest organiza
tion on the campus votes as a herd
of sheep, and often for one of its
dusky members. This right is Divine-
as an example of mob thinking. These
Honorable Gentlemen have on tap all
the latest gossip from Casey’s, much
“inside dope,” several stupendous
plans, and usually a plug of Brown
Mule.
And then there are those who con
sider Bryan recognition as a thing
for competition rather than amuse
ment. These boys work themselves
into a “large heat” over who dances
with whom, and who brought her.
They are practically harmless, but
like flies, they often worry one. It
seems, however, that they usually get
caught by social flypaper or syrup,
so again, small loss.
But why be hard to please ? These
are all essentially good boys, and very
in Bryan Friday will not be the Sat
urday show as has been the case.
Many shows will be here later that
would not have come if the Y was
still depending upon the Bryan shows,
for the film.

Jj:
There has been considerable trouble
caused by the fact that our dances
are never announced until the last
minute. Is there any feasible reason
why the corps should be kept in the
dark as to the dance dates ? I won
der how many of us knew that last
Saturday night was to feature the
opening dance so much talked of and
contemplated, wherein there was to be
an abundance of refreshments. Evi
dently there were only a few who
did, judging from the number of girls
that were there. Even the dances at
Riverside are better advertised than
our own. I’d like to offer the sug
gestion that our social secretary use
the Battalion as one means of in
formation and a few plain cards at
the several entrances of the mess hall
as another. We’d all like to know when
to secure dates for the dances.
