Student Janitors
R.
No greater cooperation has ever been received from the student
body than has the change made by the college officials in which stu
dents were given the janitorial jobs which were held Until this year by
the colored janitors. This can be attributed primarily to the fact that
•very student is willing to do all that is possible in order to help those
^ who are unable to attend college except by means sf working their
way through.
There seems to have arisen very few complaints under the new
janitorial system and, with the exception of a few, 1 the members of the
faculty are more than satisfied with work that the students have done
with their new jobs, but those few who object make it extremely hard
for those who are doing their utmost to tnake a success of a thing that
means so much to them. The reason for those few object!o— are be
cause of things which have been token from their offices and class
rooms, and since the student janitors art the only ones who have keys
to the doors, they are the ones at whom the accusing finger is pointed.
Many of the things which.have been reported lost, have just been mis
placed and some probably left in the clhis rooms where the instruction
ia carried on. These cases reflect equally as hard upon the student
janitors wken accusations are pointed ib their direction even though
the thing in question might not have even been lost. But since there is
some theft going jn at night or at time* during the day, the ques
tion must be dealt with, and those who do make such accusations should
look farther than just to see that a student janitor hbs a key to the
door.
Recently a typewriter was token fibm one of thd offices in the
old Main Building and the charge was made directly .to student jan
itors. Dogs it seem logical that anyone bo whom a job means so very
much would do such a thing's* this? j '
The student janitors only have the keys long enough to get in the
offices and clean them up and then they are turned over to their stu
dent loreman who h^s possession of them the reft of the time. It would
be almost im;o.ifible for any member of t|te foVce to take a\?ay a type
writer with twenty or thirty men workifg with him, but ii would be
easy enough for anyone to effect an entij»n.-e in almost any of the of
fices if they desired to get in them after dark. Yet thr janitors have
to take the blame which ia not justly theirs.
We ?.re toll that they will have to pay for the typewriter if it
isn’t returned. We would like to make a! appeal to both the one who
did take the typewriter and the one who (s forcing the janitors to pny
for it, and ask first that the one who did take the typewriter to return
it either to the office from which he so quietly took it or to the jan
itor’s olfice in Ross Hall. And should the typewriter not be returned,
we hope that the loser of the typew riter will take a little wider
of the situation a::d where it would halve been much easier for any-1 p ort Worth* ' f ittaastain. C. H.

Texas A and M College, has been

The prize trip offer will include :
rgilriwd and hotel expenses for'
five, three team members and an

t^sm >ia to lie selected in a state- '

the State Board of Vocational Ed- I
cation in cooperation with the
Thxaa A and M College. This offer
hy the Santa Fe is in keeping with
a suggestion by Dr. C. H. lane,
chief, agricultural education serv-
We don't think anyone can justly accuse the janitors of taking
the articles missing—it means too much ta them to do such a thing. To
those 106 boys who get up hours before the rest of us and then work
before supper, we teel-proud and justified in saying that they are more
earnest in their wo^li than any other group to be found on the campus.

Students Need Sleep
Students do not get enough sleep.
It ia hardly necessary to eulogize oh the necessity of rest, get
ting at least eight hours of sleep each night, of relaxing enough so
that the body will be physically fit to do Its mental work.
All students know this, and yet how raaiy observe it? How many
go around the campus with trembling hands, wan facto and dark circles
underneath tha eyes? How many attempt to imbiba knowledge when
their minds are not physically fit to receive it?
How many go around despondent, believing that the whole world
is against them, when all they need ia a few hours of good sleep?
Whether the educational system or the student himself is at fault
is a question for argument Some courses, it ia known, require too
much outside work, and conscientious students are not allowed their
necessary amount of rest
But, on the other hand, many students put off studying until the
last minute, and consequently spend late hours studying. Again, many
students stay up until all hours talking or reading.
If the university is a place for education it ia also a place for
common sense. And students ought to take off a few hours and "catch
up” on their sleep, as they are always intending to do. - Ixiuisiana

Apology
This is to let it be known to all who read the article “Outlaw Haz
ing” which appeared in the March 7th iaane of the Battalion, that no
port of the article was intended to hove ai y particular reference to
Battery “B” Field Artillery, but was inten led for the entire corps.
I apologise for any and all reflections that ti e article might have con
tained concerning this Battery individually, and am extremely sorry
that the article was misleading-
