The passage of the Christmas holidays ant the arrival of the new

>ther delusions. As usual we profit by this realisation too late. Aud
mfere us lop ms the dreaded ordeal of final exkminations. \
Final examinations are generally considered in an ill light fatit
Acre is a b mefit to be derived from them. The final examination will
provide a way out for those who are having difficulty with their work
but have ant opportunity to pass, and will protfde an opportunity for
passing stucents to acquire grade points. Under the new grafting sys
tem the fia4l examination will represent one-third of the term's grade
with the work done during the term represeating the remaining two-
thirds.
Although intensive study for the examinations this late ia the
term would constitute “cramming”, it is obvious that in. three weeks
time it would be possible to acquire some permanent useful knowledge
of the varicus courses in contrast to the paiaful, overnight ‘cram
ming" common to the “D” quisles of previous years.
Begin your preparations now and profit by what you might have
feared.

LIGHTS \ jli
A progressive innovation for the current session is the new light
ing plan, by which electricity for lighting MtfpMms will be maintained
in the dormitories through the daytime whereds it was formerly dis
continued at eight a. m. This development has been achieved by the
Student Welfare Committee and this new plan is anly tentative de
pending upon student cooperation.
Although the year 1932 was discouraging id qome phases, the first
term' of ' the) current session ' was enlightened by many progressive
moves on the part of the college and the students. This new develop
ment will become one of them if not sbusdd. j j | \
The Welfare Committee has done its work well in sscuringNJthis
tentative change and it now becomes the daty of the students to See
that lightiag power is not needlessly wasted, is efficiently used, ar
that the plan becomes permanent instead of tdptatfofe-

DANIEL ELSSELL

Dan Russell, as he is known oy
practically every member of the
student body and faculty, was born
August 26, 1899 at EUisviUe, Miss
issippi. His father was a timber
cdntractor, so the Russel family
moved quite often, young Dan be-
reared and receiving his early
lion through various ports of
Missbpippi Finally his father’s
health failed and the family moved
to Texas \in quest of better cli-
mptic eondfUo
he found a job id « cafeteria pay
ing him sixty cents an hour, so ha
started to school to receive a mas
ter’s degree in sociology^ During;
the entire three years that he
worked on his masters degree, Mr.
Russell payed hip entire Way and
sent money home to his younger
sisters and brothers that they too
may receive their educations. Dur
ing this period of his e*<u< •lion, he
received employment that would be
beneficial financially apd at the
aarae time place him in contact
with crowd* so that he ntight study
them sock)logicsU5r. In thi* manner
he received information that has
been the background of j his re
search in preparation for both hie
master’s and doctor’s degree.
After working bne month in the
cafeteria, he was employed as a
check-room boy at a “tsn-centa a
dance” hall. Later he was made
“Bouncer” for the establishment
and in this capacity gradually be
came acquainted with members of
various gangs.
Leaving this j he worked for
for the Juvenile Protective Asso
ciation of Chicago, studying condi
tions in dance hajls and cabarets
His work in this ixxitioa brought
him in contact was Chief ef Police.
