Certainly not They have all day Saturday free for such an event and in addition the latter day is more or less a holiday with business men who are thus enabled to attend the game adding materially to the gate receipts For this reason if for no other a competing school would refuse to hold a contest on Monday which is our holiday Xow what must the Student Body of the A C do in order to take part in these games? They must sacrifice the afternoon of the day which corresponds to Friday in other schools You may suggest that as most of our games are played on the campus of other schools the few any other of equal educational standing and full credit is given in anv college for the work done in another Xow are we as a school getting five days of work each week? Have we any laboratory or recitation periods as a rule after two o’clock Saturday? II not wc are getting only four f and days in school work Wc arc losing a half each week day every school week of the year Think of it! The Agricultural College has fewer school weeks In the year than the average college and in addition loses half a day every week Xo one is to blame tin1 svstem or schedule lies at fault Saturday afternoon is usuallv considered an afternoon of rest of recreation and of hall The merchant so looks games upon it the teacher so wishes it and the student through all Ids previous school career has had it free The spirit of the holiday is in the air and unconsciously contrary to our best intentions we let this half day pass by week after week Avitli no thought of its going A half day that multiplied by all the weeks of the school year results in the loss of nearly twenty days of sdiool! All this loss of time occasioned by a schedule of work which could ho corrected Teachers and students think this over Remember at the end of this school year if nothing is done to improve this schedule wo shall have had about twenty days less of school work than the other colleges in addition to our coursis being already actually shorter ii school weeks and interspersed with longer holidays than comparable colleges of the West Let us face the situation squarely and by a simple adjustment of our school week place our schedule on an equal footing with that of any college of our standing one-hal- The Success or Failure of This Live Store depends upon the service ami satisfaction which the clothing wc sell gives to the wear- er That’s why we offer good clothes to you and you can put as much faith in the service they will give as we do In fact your satisfaction is Note well tb e prices Your inspection of the Looking at it from the social clothes will convince standpoint one fails to find any you that they arc justification for the present sysreally reasonable tem Consider for a moment the immense number of Student Body dances class parties etc he Military Ball the Junior Promenade the Agricultural Club dance and so on The vast majority of these events are scheduled for Monday evenings Xow grant for simplicity that the acquainted with the work of this student has found time to learn college and station his lessons is he aide to dance Dean Hunt has been connected until midnight get up at seven with a number of tin strongest schools of America including and attend school in anything Illinois Cornell Ohio and Ren like the same condition he would nsylvania and is now Dean of have been in if he had gone early Agriculture and Director of the to bed?
