THE BATTALION vs rs* / At thl Cpow M. H. HOLLOWAY Some people are born fools; others are made so by environment. To those in the former class, I extend my smypathies, for it is a pathetic state of affairs. But for those in the latter class, I have no respect at all. It is a pity that we have several on the campus. Perhaps I should say, this otherwise intelligrent campus. Given a tiny bit of authority, this type of an individual becomes so con ceited that he becomes a perfect don key. It g-oes to his head like Cham pagne. Given enough rope he slow ly but surely hangs himself. It causes one to laugh. Some sweet day, when Utopia shall have been obtained, men will be blessed with icommon sense for once in their life. They will think about the feelings of others and they will be more tactful and unassuming. They will be less conceited and less conscious of self. By that time, how ever, we’ll all have wings and will be playing lovely melodies on golden harps. Nevertheless, it’s wonderful to think about such a peaceful situa tion and we may derive some pleas ure at least in wondering what kind of a world this would be if all men had the saving grace of common sense. This idea may even be applied to a head waiter in Sbisa Hall for common sense has neve" hurt any one ... Of such things are dreams made. * ❖ ❖ Max Eastman offereo! something new in the way of entertainment for those who appreciate a different sort of lecture. There was hardly a mo ment that he did not have the entire attention of his audience. Presenting new ideas and contrasts in a strik ing manner, he changed many of our opinions about Russia. Morals and marriage, which arei always a popu lar subject for discussion, were touch ed in a skillful manner and when we were told that for one “ruble” one could obtain a permit to marry and that for another “ruble” one could g'et an easy divorce, we all had an instant desire to visit Russia—at least for a few happy months. It must be a wonderful sensation. SENIOR CLASS GIVEN BANQUET Numerous Speakers Speak Very In teresting Speeches. Members of the senior class were guests of the Y. M. C.
