CAMPUS COMMENT
To dote no contributions have been lurit in for this column which
in
to
ency
Investigations seem, to be the vogue for 1932. la fact, there have
been so many commission* detailed by the greater and leaser glowers
that be, that they hsive bad no time to looi into thoif own condition, and
that ia bad. If w# have our own systems aa efficient a* they can be,
if we fell the tree of expense before we trim the branches, if we put
our own affairs in shape before we meddle with those of others, if we
sweep out the houne before investigating the back porch, then we are
| justified in directing our energy and time to other tHiitgs.
It seems, that in a crisis, th* bosses should oofssern themselves
with things of importance, and then idle away their tifeie getting infor
mation on sophomores, informing the country that it Isn’t dry, and try
ing to make our colleges money-making iastitutions instead of schools
of learning. There is no advantage in spending a dollar on a budget,
if it will save but fifty cents.
Writ*, lUe
This college', more than otherfnsutulions depends upon the direct
influence that the conduct of iti hi i<i. nt body has toward outsiders
and people not connected with the college for the regulation by which
it is known. Our own personal deeds, here on ftye campus, and away
from here become a background f6r th* opinion of this college which
strangers and friends alike build up in th^dr own minds. Naturally, It
is important that such a matter be given more attention, and realised
? more than it has.
Upperclassmen, as a rule, understand exactly how this effects the
college, and how it also indirectly effects themselves, as a part of the
institution. Included in our conduct would be what we
do, and what we write. First year

Long before tHe huge bulk of a new tky-
scraper looms up, Bril System men have
planned its nerve sydbem —the maze of tele
phone cables and wires so vital to its busi-
ness activities.
From the inception of a building design,
telephone engineers work hand in hand with
the architects. They determine the telephone
needs of thousands of future tdunts. Then
thev plan cable shafts rising from cellar to V
roof and the grid of under-floor ducts that
will put telephones within mj reach of
every occupant

plans, for without telephones the immense
