TO COET THE
HABIT
- . . the Lee Morse habit. She insinuates her way so pleasantly into
a place among the few things you like very much.
So you’ll he glad to learn that her newest record—Columbia, of
course—has been released, and that it bolds the pep, appeal aud fine
melody you always expect from this charming croonstress.
Hear it today, and these running-mates, too . . .

SLANTS /
Once in a blue moon, one finds a
prof that will conduct a normal in
formal, interesting class and while do
ing it teaches you the art of keeping
awake in class and of becoming a
modern Demosthenes. In addition to
this, without hurting your touchous
little feelings, he razzes you and
floats you out higher than a cork
er the Roosevelt dam. If you ever
have the last word, in a battle of
wits with him, consider yourself very
intelligent—as well as lucky for it
has never been done yet. And if he
is inclined to make merry at the ex
pense of the editor-in-chief of the
Battalion it is not because he doesn’t
like him but merely because he wants
the latter to take a different attitude
towards life and the Art of Making a
Public Speech. It is needless to say
that ye editor does not squirm in his
seat when razzed but makes a wise
crack (or psychological retort) for
everything that is said to him. It is
an amusing game.
So when you have finished practi
cally all of your major engineering
work and all of your dry, uninter
esting courses sign up for one that
will give you a kick. If you don’t say
at the end of the term with all of
the others, that you enjoyed it you
will be without a sense of humor and
something is evidently wrong with
your otherwise perfect constitution.
If you stutter or if you can’t stand
being laughed at or if your knees
play Old Black Joe with each other
when you speak before an audience,
be sure that you take this course, for,
after three months of this man’s tu
toring you could tell the dizzy-eyed
world just what it looked like.

We are a merciless corps of cadets.
We are inclined to laugh at • the
other fellow’s misfortunes and the
only time we smile is when someone
else has received the raw end of the
deal. We laugh out loud when the
“roomit” loses his best girl and ache
all over when we lose ours. We are
in the best of humor when the oth
er man is floating in a sea of wa
ter in his bed and wake up all our
neighbors when we have to do a lit
tle swimming all of our own. We grin
from ear to ear when a Sbisa bun
hits another Aggie in the face and
howl like a coyote when it hits us a
few minutes later—and then throw
more bread. It’s a great life.
No one enjoyed the ice covered
ground more than the Aggies. And
the falls of the others were a cause
for much amusement. Some even

ROBISON CRUSOE LIVED A
LONELY LIFE
How a photograph would have cheered him.
Is your sweetheart a Robison Crusoe ? She will
appreciate a photograph of yourself and no
doubt you have other friends who will like one
also. Made from your Lorghorn negative or

Go throw a Dr. Pepper party
and see how much "it” you’ll
have. There’s no less expensive
nor more enjoyable way to
be a sport. Frails fall for it.
