All matter for publication must be
signed and mailed in The Star box not
ater than five o’clock p. m. Monday.
Entered as second-class mail matter
at San Marcos, Texas, October, 1913.
As an experiment in promoting a
much-needed reform in spelling The
Star is using the recommended form of
simplified spelling in its editorial col-
umns.
The human being is indeed
a wonderfully complex orga-
nism whose actions often are in-
comprehensible. Endowed
with the five great senses, it
can see, hear, feel, smell and
taste; posessing the power of
locomotion, it can mov about
from place to place; posessing
the power of speech it can com-
municate ; having the power of
reason, it can weigh and con-
sider and initiate.
Thus equipped, the question
arises—how should a Normal
student direct himself so as to
produce the best results for
himself and for his fello stu-
dents? It goes without saying
that he should not engage in
any conduct that would be
detrimental to the welfare of
the school. Of course, the big
majority of our students need
no warning to this effect. Many
of them will do nothing ob-
jectionable; others will do so
only thru thoughtlessness. It
is to be regretted, however,
that some do not sufficiently
appreciate the fact that to live
together successfully humanity
must be held in check by more
or less self-controll. If we hav
been guilty of a misdemeanor
of any sort thru thoughtless-
ness or otherwise, let’s resolve
to make a change in our de-
portment whether we ar re-
minded that it is belo
the standard of the school.
-o-
We ar glad to announce that
several nu members wil be
added to our editorial staf.
With their co-operation we ex-
pect to get out a much better
paper. Our past method of
securing the nus is decidedly
inadequate. The editor does
not hav the time (even if he
had the inclination) to chase
about the campus in search of
some one to do a particular
kind of work, who, when even-
tually located, is found to be
disqualified in some way for
the desird work. Furthermore,
the present method is unfair to
the people who ar prevaild on
to do work. Instead of the ed-
itor’s receiving credit for their
work, they themselves should
receive what honor it merits.
As this riting goes to press,
but two of the nu crew hav
been selected; the others wil
be chosen as soon as possible.
---o--
It has been suggested to us
that The Star encourage a
home-coming of Normalites at
the commencement exercises in
June. This occasion is taken
for the endorsement of such
a proposal. Certainly there is
no logical reason why our
alumni should not meet with us
in June under the inspiring
atmosphere of old Normal Hill.
We feel sure that a bountiful
amount of pleasure wil be in
store for those who come;
that the visualizing of past ex-
periences (if nothing else) wil
send many a thrill of rapture
coursing thru their beings. It
wil not only be good for them,
it wil be good for us. It is de-
sired to hear from some of the
alumni giving their sentiments
on a home-coming.

In the presence of the Seniors
We know not what to say;
They are so very dignified,
So very precise are they.
In the presence of the Juniors
We feel like little elves,

What freshness they do bring:
They ’mind us of the grass so

So evident in spring.
