Show STUDENT LIFE 48 when our venerable lawmakers meet again To a person acquainted with conditions in our school the question almost rises “Is it really unjust" Is our institution through its representatives the student body real-l- v in a condition to stand on a par with the University and the student lxxly ? Our records show at present a registration of alxnit 500 students hut without going to the registrar for information let us look from another jxfint of view as to how many college men and how manv persons who should be “feeders we really have in our midst 15y college men we don't mean those across that ditch between second year Preparatory and Freshman we mean those who conduct themselves as college men should Let us look what the Student Body is Lni-versi- ty doing Student Life the so-call- ed or- gan of the Student Body struggling along to reflect the sentiments of these 500 persons has a subscrip- tion list 'below 100 Student Life in the past has made herself worth while The fault doesn’t lie with the paper and there is only one other place to shift it Is our student lxxly that organization that has been the pride of the north end of the state in times past that bunch with the reputation throughout the state of hanging together to the last trench and going down there fighting is the organization turning tail on its reputation ? Are we going down so rapidly becoming in reality the “prep school’’ our enemies are trying to bring us to? It looks to one initiated as though we were becoming a “feeder” just as rapidly as is possible It also begins to look as though if left alone we would accomplish just what our opponents in the legislature are trying to bring about Get out of the rut you people hanging around the Prep and First Year fences! Shake vourselves ! Rub that sleepy look out of your eyes and realize that you are in a college ! Get awake and think for thirteen minutes that you belong to the institution that you are occupying a position in the state won for you by student bodies worthy of the school Get into the public life subscribe for the college paper Try at least to be college men and college women Just get the idea that you are a chunk of the institution and that that institution is a college Try these aixl if they are not worth while let us abolish the college paper cut out what little college atmosphere there is left and drop in line with the other “feeders” Do something or cut out the sham and let us face the state in our true position 0 |
