MYTH
MYTH—We’ve thought for a long time
that something ought to be done about it—
this business of making the life of today’s
collegian glamorous and carefree—and at last
the Daily Dartmouth of Dartmouth College
has done it! We believe you’ll give a rousing
second to this editorial!
"It's about time somebody tried once and *
for all to dispel the myth of the carefree col-
lege boy. The college boy, people who are
out of college, or have never been there, will
tell you, lives a life which runs the gamut
from pure joy to the ultimate in rhapsodie
existence, and the Sunday magazine sec-
tions picture him with glass in hand, his
lips creased in a gay smile, while a number
of beautiful women parade past him like so
much beef on the hoof. The motion pictures
are doing the level best to prolong the life
of this popular fiction, and thousands of
young girls who stand on their feet all day
behind the counters from Worcester to Osh-
kosh find their own particular heaven in
watching some clean cut god of the Tom ,
Brown species cavort through a land over-
flowing with evening clothes and exciting
football finishes, strewing his praternity pins
behind him. I
“The college boy may seem that way at '
times and particularly when he begins to
reminiscence for the benefit of the homefolks
during vacation periods, but that is because
he is learning that the only way to please is . j
to give people what they expect, and that no '
one will believe, much less listen to him, if
he tries to tell the crowd that he is doing a
serious job of going to college, and that he
has a lot of things on his mind.
“The fact is that college boys work hard,
take a Saturday night off for relaxation, like
to sit by the fire and read the newspaper, are
ugly or good looking as the case may be,
have their domestic troubles with their room
mates, get broke, argue with the traffic cop,
do or do not like their eggs flopped over,
and call Mr. Roosevelt names, even as any
average citizen who lives uphill and goes to
work on Main Street. To be sure, college boys
are young, and they do these things with
more spirit, and harder than they will twen-
ty years from now, but the point is that this
is what they do, and it’s peculiar that no-
body wants to believe it.
“Just the same, we hope the day will
come when some stranger will tell us that
he’s working in such and such a place, and
we can reply that we’re going to college,
without catching that ‘oh, college boy’ look
in his eye.
To which we say, “Amen!”

THE COYOTE
Published Bi-Monthly by the Students of Weatherford College. Entered at
the Postoffice at Weatherford, Texas, as Second Class Mail Matter
NEUTRALITY
NEUTRALITY—U. S. college students—
some 1,400,000-strong—returned to class-
rooms and campuses last month amid a loud
chorus of warnings and implorings. They
were warned by the press and the presidents
to maintain an open and thinking attitude
on the present European war and to bend
every energy to a sincere study of the world’s
problems and how they can be met.
From the surveys that have appeared to
date, it appears that the average collegian
has heeded these warnings and those com-
mands. He maintains that he does not want
to go to war, that he wants the U. S. to re-
main neutral. But he seems to have no ob-
jection to the U. S. selling goods of all kinds
to the warring nations, so long as it is on a
cash-and-carry basis. First real objection to
the President’s proposed neutrality act chang-
es was made at St. John’s University, where
650 students signed a letter to the Chief Exec-
utive protesting “ a new partisan neutrality
act without first consulting the people
through the medium of a referendum.” This
movement has not yet gained much headway.
College newspaper editorial opinion, al-
though about evenly divided, seems leaning
toward the President’s proposal that the neu-
trality act be changed to provide for sale of
materials to belligerents that can pay for it
and transport it from our shores.
The arguments of those who oppose the
change is neatly summarized by the St.
John’s University Record: “If the embargo
were lifted business would undoubtedly
flourish in America—for a while, that is as
long as Britain and France could pay cash.
Britain and France, because Germany would
never be allowed to purchase here. After
England and France could not pay cash, our
loans to the democracies would almost ine-
vitably begin again. And there is the danger!
That is how we started last time.”
For the affirmative, the University of
Iowa Daily Iowan states the case: “Congress
has two facts to go by, (1) We want peace.
(2) We’d fight—or a substantial minority of
us would—if defeat began for the democra.
cies The logical conclusion to this line of rea-
-soning is lifting the arms embargo now.”
Whatever their position, most editorial-
ists implore the issue to be divorced of politics
and ask that the legislators think calmly and
sanely on the issue that may decide the fu-
ture of our democracy.
Most strongly do all editorials affirm the
fact that U. S. collegians do not want to fight
on a foreign soil, but they will bear arms if
our own land is threatened. Just how strongly
entrench this belief is will be determined in
the dark days of propaganda that lie ahead.

TEXTS
TEXTS—Definitely valuable is the fol-
lowing suggestion from the Midland of Mid-
land College, for long have students talked
about the textbooks that add to their scholas-
tic miseries. So we pass on to you the editor-
ial “Carrying a Heavy Load.”
“Ancient and honored is the tradition
among textbook writers that a book must
have weight to have value. Therefore, those
fat volumes you see under the arms of stu-
dents aren’t encyclopedias or congressional
records. Rather they are four or five pounds
of assorted literature, history, philosophy
and what-have-you.
“We don’t mean necessarily that the
larger the book the more stuffy it is. In fact,
most texts are attractively written and very
readable despite the fact that it would take
years of study for most mortals to assimilate
them.
“Because the amount to be covered in a
semester demands large daily assignments,
most of us skim over 30 or 40 pages and are
left with a rather vague impression, much
like a passenger on a Streamliner after a
100-mile-an-hour trip across country.
“The day is not far distant, we hope,
when textbook authors will boil their sub-
jects down to the meat, flavor them spicily,
throw in a little sauce and serve in succulent,
tasty dishes to culture-hungry students.”

THALIAN TATTLER
Ye old W. C. Hit Parade. Well all right
here’s the down beat guys and gals with
some oldies but goodies.
Wonder who Mary Ann Kelly was sing-
ing “That Old Feeling” for the other night.
Rebecca Culwell keeps singing “I’ll Keep
On Loving You”. Wonder if she still means,
P. M.?
i Sam (Cutie) Porter has been going around
I whistling “A Man and His Dream”. Maybe
that little Russell gal is his dream—cause he
just follows her around all the time. Doesn’t
he Jayne?
Nanella seems to be in a “Melancholy
Mood” most of the time. Wonder if it’s Clif-
ford Reeder causing this?
It looks like Meg and Junior will stay
together “Forever and Always”. We hope so.
They are really swell kids.
We see Pauline Brown singing “What
Have You Got that Gets Me?” Maybe it’s
dedicated to Dicky Boyd.
Clifford and Mary Nell are building a
“Stairway to the Stars”. Keep on climbing
kids—you’ll reach the top cause you’re both
the tops in our estimation.
Louis Tanner sings “You’re the Moment
in my Life” to Mildred Bruce but why does
she still talk to Claude Fenton.

GROUPS
GROUPS—As always happens when a
great political or social question faces the
nation, college students are today forming
organizations to influence the opinion of
their fellow students on the questions of
war and neutrality.
At Princeton University, undergraduates
have formed “The American Independence
League,” which is “dedicated to the purpose
of revealing, strengthening and expressing
the determination of the American people
to keep out of the European war.” The
League already counts one-third of Prince-
ton’s student body as members, and a sec-
ond chapter of the organization has been
formed on the. Harvard University campus.
Incidentally, national headquarters of the
ne worganization are in the offices formerly
occupied by the Veterans of Future Wars,
now defunct.
Not quite so serious, but just as interest-
ing, are two other proposals that have made
their appearance in the last week or two. In
the University of Pittsburgh’s towering Ca-
thedral of Learning there has sprung up the
“Loyal Order of Sons of Leavenworth,”
whose slogan is “If America goes to war, we
go to Leavenworth.”
Here’s an interesting paragraph from a
letter explaining the organization: “Hurry!
Form your own District Cell of the Loyal
Order of Sons of Leavenworth! Pick your
cell-mate while you may. Write now for
your free membership card entitling you to
all the privileges of our future home. Write
today to ask any questions you may wish
about our secret shuffle, our national symbol
—the ball and chain—or any other practices
of our exclusive Order.”
On the Cornell University campus, Stan
Cohen, columnist for the Cornell Daily Sun,
stirred up a bit of interest with this telegram
LAMPS
My friends are little lamps to me;
Their warmth and radiance cheers my ways;
And all my pathway dark and dreary
Is lightened by their rays;
I try to keep them bright with faith
And never let them dim with doubt,
For every time I lose a friend
A little lamp goes out.
—By Amy Lowell.
First Negro: “Say, you know dat yellow
gal l gos’e with, she’s so lazy she won’t even
laugh when I tells her a joke.”
Second Negro: “Humph! Dat gal I gos’e
with, she’s so lazy she won’t even ache when
she got a pain.
And have you heard this one:—
“Sorry madam, but licenses are issued
only when your form is filled out properly.”
“Well, I like your nerve, sir. We can get
married no matter what I look like.”
And now for a bit of grammar study—
A kiss is always a pronoun, because
“she” stands for it.
It is masculine and feminine gender mix-
ed; therefore common.
It is a conjunction because it connects.
It .is an interjection; at least, it sounds
like one.
It is plural because one calls for another.
It is singular because there is nothing
else like it.
It is usually in apposition with a caress;
at any rate, it is sure to follow.
A kiss can be conjugated, but never de-
clined.
It is a preposition because it governs an
objective case.
However, it is not an adverb because it
cannot be compared, but it is a phrase that
expresses feeling.
“See that girl? Her face is her fortune.”
“Yeah, and it runs into a fine figure,
doesn’t it?”
He: “I can’t learn to love you.”
She: “But my dad has a million.”
He: “Give me one more lesson.”
Lorraine Curtis: “You can’t guess what
sister said about you?”
Tubby Webb: “I haven’t an idea in the
world.”
Lorraince Curtis: “That’s right!’ You
guessed it the first time.”
Dorothy Hughes: “Call the manager. I
can’t eat this stuff.”
Glenn Sessions: “It’s no use; he won’t
eat it either.”

Dawn brings
Her challenge swift
I shall find time to live
And do the tasks appointed me
Today.

Class of ’27.
' someone sent Helen Curtis such a beautiful
corsage the other night. She was thrilled
to death and who wouldn’t have been.
Dottie yelled “Hey Handsome” the oth-
er day and Paul Agnew came running. She
was also with him Saturday night. All you
gals get your lungs in shape.
Bill Brown said “Don’t Ever Change” to
Elizabeth Letson but Liz evidently didn’t
pay much attention cause she has been go-
ing with Ray Haney.
Marveline Brown tells Pickens Rothrock
to “Gather Up Lip Rouge While You May”,
big boy.
Dorothy Hughes has “A Far Away Look
in Her Eyes” and we know she’s thinking of
the boy she left behind.
“It’s On, It’s Off,” that seems to be the
McGee-Harrell theme song.
“Ma” Miller and “Pa” Banks harmoniz-
ing on “We’re Getting Closer to Love.”
We see Billy Maddox singing softly to
Mickey Steele “I’m Dancing with the Girl of
My Dreams.”
Bill Evans and Andy Anderson are “Get-
ting Some Fun out of Life.”
Una B. Perry singing “I’m crooning a
Tune About June.”
These songs and People are somewhat
alike we think:
Welma Langford—“Sunrise Serenade”—
because she is so sparkly and golden.
Bobbie Doss—“Simple and Sweet”— be-
cause she is so natural and sweet.
Lorraine Curtis—.“The One Rose”—be-
cause there’s none other like her. She’s pre-
cious.
Jayne Russell—“The All American Girl”
—because she has such a grand personality, is
such a good sport and is so cute.
Dorothy Hughes—“Sophisticated Swing”
—because she’s got rhythm that won’t quit.
Helen Curtis—“Sophisticated Lady”—
because she has that certain air an dper-
sonality plus.
Ruth McGee—“Betty Co-ed”—because she
has so much school spirit and so much pep.
Mickey Steele—“Sugar” —because she is
small and sweet like a lump of sugar.
Dottie Goodenough—‘Honeysuckle Rose’’
—because she is sweet and rather like a
clinging vine.
Mickey Queen—“Sweet Varsity Sue”—
because she is so full of pep and she is a
good example of the American School Girl.
Betty Reeves—“You’re So Darn Charm-
ing”—because she is charming and she does
everything so perfectly.
Meg McCowan—“Lilac Time”—because
she reminds us of Old English Lavendar.
Mary Nell Bailey—“A Little Bit Inde-
pendent”—because she has that air of inde-
pendence, yet she is easy on the eyes.
Mrs. Field—“Blue Orchids”—because she1
is so tiny and so rare. She is like one of those
exquisite flowers.
