And so will you for a moment. But will you when she’s fat? So meet ’em, love ’em and leave ’em Even marry them if they’re rich, For love—is only hearts racing, And show ones are pushed in the ditch. True love sounds great as an idea. You may say long marriages prove It but it’s only convenient habit Of souls too tired to remove it. We have one deity to honor, Omnipotent, wise, and just. Why worship a slip of a girlie For sake of animal lust? ! 300 A. & M. STUDENTS I I FINANCED FALL TERM 1 i ■ BY ASS’N. LOAN FUND ! Approximately one student out of every eight who register ed at A. and M. this fall was assisted in financing his “schoolin’” through the loan funds of the Association of Former Students. Three hundred boys were made loans, a total of $40,000 dollars changing hands in the transactions. The average loan was for approximately $135 dollars, although many were for the limit of $175 dollars. With these three hundred loans being made in three days the Association office was a busy spot. All the available funds were gone before registration actually started, advance applications having been made throughout the summer. The Association now has better than fifty thousand dollars in its various student loan funds. A quarter of a million dollars has been loaned during the past four years and the Association has. not suffered a loss on a single note during that time. t t i T. t I I $ ❖ ± CHAPEL (Continued from Page 4) To which Gadfly will probably reply: What of it? At Lehigh the Brown and White asks for the abolition of compulsory chapel—a period of “conversation, thumb-twiddling, or occasional study” The Bradley Tech of Bradley College, Illinois, in a spirited article joins the refrain. It asks: “Why do students have to listen to a lecture which the majority of faculty members deem unworthy of their attendance?” —The New Student.
