- When a person loses his self-respect
By CARROLL TRAIL
Dear Sir:
AVhen will Pfeuffer fall?
The cracks in the wall, the fal
len plaster, and the loose bricks
make it unsafe in which to hold
classes. It is my opinion that it
should be condemned and tom
down.

that department offers, you would
find that concrete gets stronger as
it gets older.
In other words, Pfeuffer is
stronger today than in 1837 when
it was erected. The only real dah-
publish the tests in the Battalion
the day before each quiz?
This would keep skies from be
ing blown open, locks forced, and
windows from being smashed. Be
sides making honest men out of
many dishonest ones, it would cut
down on/'eollege repair bills.
Sincerely,
Answer:
J. V., you have a noble idea, but
it is not original In 1888 when
the college was Iquite young, the
exams Were stolen much as they
arc now. In an effort to stamp
out the. practice, the authorities
started publishing the quizzes in
the Battalion, then a monthly mag
azine. , '

By JOE HOLLIS
Hollywood should have taken notice of
the twenty mile chase scene enacted in Cali
fornia yesterday. The pursu ve rob
bers by a deputy sheriff was probably a
touch more heroic than the celluloid’s tradi
tional version. > j .
Five yeggs, after committing a robbery
of j some slight worth, decided to make a
dos, /lacking a car, and desirous of leaving
thi place, caught a conveniently passing
freight and prepared to settle down to a
oeaceful but pleasant trip. However they had
toned without the resourcefulness and
agility of our star, the sheriff. He too had
mide the train. i .]
The action: increased in tempo as the
ins, (hiss), learning of their danger,
ibed on top of the box cars and started
moving forward, followed by the deputy.
(Whistles and loud cheers.)
The drama was completed when three of
the robbers ran out of freight cars and were
captured in the coal tender by the pursuing
sheriff. Two of them had leaped from the
moving train to escape. The three who had
disliked dirtying their: clothes were lodged
in jail (Slow fade out The end.)

Many advertisers became angry

One student steals an examination, and the definitions of cheating: “The action or players and consists, of the usual Course''? Rot

to the
an act of cheating or deceiving; deception
or fraud, or a means of fraud or decep
tion; a trick; imposition, imposture.”
What is the answer to the cheating
problem? We could hardly expect all the
students and instructors to get together
and sing, “For we’re jpll|y good fellows/
However, we do believe common ground
can be found. Possibly, an honor system,
adhered to conscientiously by faculty and

Dear Editor,
Monday’s Batt, listing degree-
gainers from foreign countries, in
cludes Jack Royce Woolf from
Trinidad. Now Mr. Woolf, to the
best of my knewiedge, is from
Trinidad, TEXAS, which ain’t po
foreign Country! Would you count
students from Paris, China, (that’s
on the road to Beaumont) or Italy
(near Pallas) as foreign students?
