In deecriking the average day of the Eakimo, Mr. Stefaneson said that they are awakened around six o’clock in the morning by the striking of matches by early-morn ing smokers. Boon after, two youag ladies, after running a met to san who oaa first dress themselves, go out snd gather enough frosen raw fish for breakfast. After breakfast the men go fishing, catching enor mous quantitiss of fish, snd stack ing them in great piles to become frosen for future use. About eleven e’clock the second meal- is saten. The men then leave again for the fishing grenm ■. returning around four o’clock nod eatking their third maul of the day.

A. Nminer, C battery, Field Ar* tillery, hgv making plans to secure special railroad rates for their trip home for the Christmas holidays. This is made possible this year be cause of the fact that the enroll ment from that section is larger than it has even been before, there being over twenty students from tha border city. For the last three years stu dents from the vicinity of El Paso have been meeting intermittently for this purpose, but they were never able to accomplish the de sired results. Final arrangements will be made with the railroad a^'-nts be fore November 25. A fine of $10 is imposed on co eds at Minnesota University for wearing a fraternity pin.

And the worst of it is that if it’s a real inferiority complex you don’t know you have It! It’s weigh ing on your spirits and making yon act disagret-sbly without your realizing what it is that’s bothering you. j Do you know a man who brags loudly and continually about his physical strength, 4r his smart ness, or his familyt or even about what a bad, bad man he is? Do you know a man who can’t bear to admit thgt anybody ie really good in anything? Who, if he hears you prai*«“ anyone must always break la an account of something big that he has done? Do you know a man who, being particularly poor in his studies, si ’s sneers et the idea that scholarship is worth anything? Do you know a man who, hav ing somehow got t^e idea that he can’t dance or make himself agree able to the gals, is always talk ing about how silly it is to “do society"? Do you know s man (or a group of them) who takes a pride in the s touchiness of his appearance and the crudeness of his manners? if you know any of these people (of course there are some en our campus) then you have a chance to eee the inferiority complex in action. a a a a a e a For en Inferiority complex, as far as I’ve been able to figure it out, is aa aacauerieus fight gelag sa ia yea, between an intense de rive to excel in something that seems to you very important and a strong conviction that you are be low the mark ia that thing. a a a a a a a Take the ease of Dick, who go<» about the campus looking Hks a tramp and practically enforces a set of foul manners on his mass hall table—probably because he was socially snubbed in his home town when he was a little boy, and so developed a strong unconscious conviction that ha was hopelessly inferior socially—e conviction which he has been too proud to eeknowledg to himself. So new he oases his pain by exaggerating and revelling In his lack of polish —and trying to discourage others from acquiring it. He’s e hairy- chested he man. and can’t be both ered with manners. • • e • e e e Then there’s good old Harry. Some sarcastic high school tsneh- er inode him feel hopelessly dumb. So st college he carefully snd jeeringly avoids say influence that might possibly reduce this dumb ness somewhat. Moreover, he rath er resents well-meant attempts to broaden his outlook or to enrich his intellectual experience—to edu cate him in short. And he belittles any brother-Aggie who goes in for that sort of thing. Good old Harry! How we love him! • ••ess# Dick and Harry and all their like-minded b re them then Work hard, aid with a certain degree of success to nuke A and M a place where people with social and intel lectual inferiority complexes may rest in peace. If they had their way (and in some measures they do) this campus would be a heaven ly spot where the small but neces sary social decencies and volun tary intellectual activity were un known in other words, s spot where nothing would ever touch them on the raw. • ••••• e So What? Well, it would seem that if a man would be frank with himself, and admit that he does feel infer ior about something, his state of mind would be healthier. If Harry for example, were man enough to say to himself: "Yea, I do feel in ferior in intellectual matters. Wall, what of it? That’s what I go to school for—to stsrngthen the week spots! So that’s what HI try to do." If Harry cduld bring himself to face the fact .off his intellectual poverty and if he would make up his mind to remddy this, he would be a lot happien • •••••• (P. S. And A and M would be a better place). Lee Angeles.

Henry, state secretary of the Y M C A delivered an ad- drses on "The Work of the Y M C A as a Useful Agency in Leading Our Modern Youth to Constructive and Useful Citizenship” to the freshman class ia the mam hall Sunday morning. He was introduc ed by M. L. Cushion, secretary of the college organisation. Mr. Henry came to Texas from St Louis about four yours ago and mads his boms in Dallas. Since then he has carried on as supervisor of aU Y M C A work in Tuxas with marked results. In his talk Sunday h# said: "111070 Is a great need for aa agency to help direct the thought* of young people today to keep them straight and to hslp them build up right and progressive citizens. The truth of this fact is shown by the number of young people found ia American prisons due to lack of the right guidance and environ ment. Y M C A work is a most important factor in correcting this. The Young Men’s Christian Asso ciation gives youag men the right background and shows them Christ ianity." The following letter to the senior clam was received this week: Boy*, "You will never know how my mother and I appreciated the lovely flowers sent here by you all for my father's funeral I appreciate! the thoughtfulness of tho ges ture. "I hope to be back with the clam as soon as possible, if it oan bo arranged. “With grateful thoughts— —“Fussy” Douglas Dairy Husbandry Dept.
