Show STUDENT LIFE from the affairs of the nation to the special remedies for ailments has been read This would probably take three periods Fifty such students can monopolize the entire list of papers' and periodicals Since this is usually the case it is not surprising that the remaining 200 are led into conversation While it is true that the faculty regulations should not be violated the students are the victims of Real College Spirit The management of “Student Life” when soliciting subscriptions not infrequently meets the following statement: “Oh: I’m going home before long and then I won’t have any use for the paper I will forget all about the college” When such a spirit is prevalent we must conclude that either the students do not fully appreciate the value of a college paper as a record of school life as it exists at the A C or that the institution has failed to create in the student a feeling as of child for parent toward his college Again if such feelings exist why do we use the term alma mater? Surely the 91 authorities could not safely say regarding our students as did President Wheeler of the University of California in his commencement address of last year “We send you forth as our children our own and well beloved” We are pleased to say however that such is not always the case As an example of true college spirit of the feeling that should exist between students and institution we publish the following extract from a letter of Charles A Jenson a member of our alumni written college to Business Manager Taylor: Salem Oregon March 10 ’93 “Enclosed find one dollar for which send me all the numbers of “Student Life” excepting the December number which I have received from a friend I am at present a friendless weary pilgrim out here in the woods of Oregon and reading “Life” greatly soothed my overwrought nerves and reminded me of the old sportsman days at the old stand from which I have heard no news for about three years” Such statements make the staff of Student Life feel that they are laboring in a worthy cause DEPARTMENT NOTES Commercial Barrack and Biter wish to have it announced that hereafter they are not at home to visitors in the Commercial room The stenography class are now occupied with dictation work they have finished their regular text and are studying a text written in shorthand Because of the furniture for the offices not arriving the g work in II has been dropped this year Those in the advanced section having completed the dry goods business are beginning on the corpora- tion set face-to-fa- ce Book-keepin- Some students on the word of their teacher can do as good work in four days as in one In commercial law— Teacher to student— Is taking a book out of the library a bailment?
