THE BATTALION

been a subject for discussion ever
since the day when Eve discarded
her fig-leaves and stepped into a
morning ensemble for the first time.
Since that day the followers of that
famous lady have been treading in
the same path until today we see—
but that is an entirely different
story.
We, as intelligent and modern stu
dents of a man’s college (where men
are men and women are safe
in novels) believe ourselves to be
the “last word” in the manly art of
“throwing” a successful party witn
all the necessary equipment that
gees with it. But we are not creating
any illusions for our kid sister or
brother; they are just as skilled
in the art as we and, sometime, even
more so. Like Pat Henry they have
but one lamp by which their feet
are guided and that is the lamp of
experience.... and, it is safe to say.
they are not leaving much to the
imagination. If gi-andad and grand
ma were here today with us to
watch the antics of their posterity
they would probably lose their false
teeth in their astonishment.
While at home during the Thanks
giving holidays, I was dumbfounded
to learn that at a party given for
the junior class of the high school
there, all of the young fellows came
to it under the influence of a strong
stimulant. They were finally bundled
into one car and taken home by the
host. Yea, vereily, my dear broth
ers, the wild oats of the younger
generation are not merely canary
seed. Five years from this time they
will make us look like Puritans. We
may be collegiate but we have no
tricks that the kid sister does riot
know.

C. I. _ A. (for some unexplainable
reason) has often been called the
“College of Inocent Angels” and
many of us are beginning to believe
it ourselves. There is no adequate
reason for us not believing it since
it is a sister school and is about
as severe in its reforms as this
one. As to the adjective that pre
cedes the word “Angels,” we are
no authority on the subject and feel
unqualified to say whether it is
correct or incorrect. That, of course,
is the sad result of a lack of exper
ience.
A1 illustration will suffice. On one
of the trains which students were
returning to their respective schools
last Sunday night, were a group of
C. I. A. lassies and, to climax the
story—a car-load of Texas Aggies.
It was necessary to entertain the
young ladies itseemed. One fresh
man squeezed an accordian for two

It is a known fact that people do
not enjoy being ridiculed; that they
do not like to be spoken of in a
burlesque manner nor do they ap
preciate being brought into the
lime-light when it would be so much
more comfortable to remain hidden
from the dear public. It is indeed
sad and I weep with you over this
deplorable state of affairs but I can’t
resist the temptation when it pre
sents itself. At the present time
this scribe is extremely nervous and
is expecting a load of buck-shot in
the back at any time on account of
an article he created last week in
one of his weaker moments. Never-
the-less, we shall still attempt to
“Slant” whenever the opportunity
comes and if we ultimately end with
a lily in our folded hands, let it
never be said that we did not have
the courage of our convictions.
