THE BATTALION 5 days to the preservation of our spirit. The fact that our spirit is getting lax has not only come under the observation of the students and ex-students, but it has been noticed by numerous faculty members as well. Football season is right here with us and in order to show our new coach that we are really interested in him and in our team is nothing less than our duty to them and to ourselves to go out to yell practice Friday nigiht, with that determination to help that old team through hick and thin. A WORD TO THE WISE SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT Social hounds, tea-sippers, and cake-eaters, watch your step and no tice where you are going; you may run into one of them. Your dash, fiery looks, and military appearance encased in a pair of boots with shiny spurs will open the way into the heart of that “sweet young thing,’’ but all these attributes will not help you any in the presence of the Commandant. If Old Lady Jane Rumor has it right, a pair of boots with no responsibility will not have a chance to hear the click of its spurs very long. It is a fact to be regretted that many cadet officers assume an un- responsible and carefree attitude when they have obtained an honorable position in the corps. The eager desire for pupularity with their under classmen, urges them to be rather lax in enforcing the college rules and regulations. Jealousy and the craving for praise and admiration coupled with the name of “good fellow” oftimes deludes one officer to ridicule and unjustly criticize the actions of another who, being aware of the responsi bility placed upon him, does not hesitate to execute orders which his po sition demands. No allusions can be made as to what may occur if the case should come up, but there are dark clouds on the hoidzon, and the storm is threaten- i ing. One high-up has already expressed the feeling that he “will not stand \ for a pair of boots just walking around,” and what is to come is still unsure. p ‘o* ^ *•£* ^ F F ‘i'* v '’!* "1* r 'l* *1* *1*' *2'* *2* *1* v ‘I* ~1* *1? “i 0 '£• *1* F ^ *1* ^ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ * * «§• f THE M.
