IS SOUTHWESTERN A ‘LEG FACTORY”?
The question for discussion is: “Is Southwestern University a Leg Fac-
tory”? I am inclined to answer in the affirmative. There are some of the most
mysterious and peculiar legs on this campus that 1 have ever heard of. Oh, per-
haps, there are worse and more mischievous legs in the world than those on our
campus; be that as it may, ours are bad enough.
Perhaps I had better explain the kind of legs 1 am talking about. I mean
the legs that our personal possessions sprout and walk away orb I never saw
such an epidemic of leg sprouting as seems to have attacked things on our cam-
pus. It looks as though we will have to put hitching posts in the windows of
the main building and require each book and notebook to wear a four-foot chain
so that wo may stake them out and not worry about their straying off while our
heads are turned.
This epidemic is very dangerous to our morality,, and since it seems to be
very contagious it behooves us to be constantly on our guard. This epidemic is
especially raging in Mood Hall. Articles are walking off evory day without even
leaving a note of where they are going. The disease has attacked dollar billff
and small surrency harder than anything else.
^low, another thing: just because some of your stuff sprouts. legs and leaves
home, don’t you be guilty of doing anything that will cause somebody else’s
things to leave home.
Tho most lovable quality that any human can possess is tolerance. Tolerance
is tho vision that enables us to see things from another person’s view. It is the
generosity that concedes to others tho right to their own opinion and their own
peculiarities. It is the bigness that enables us to let people be happy in their
own way instead of our way.—Philadelphia Ihiblic Ledgor.

And I want to congratyoulate the whole
college on the magnanimous tight Dr.
Barcus and Dr. Gray put up down at
San Angelo about bein a heretic. Say,
that was shure grate tho way Dr. Gray
got Vindicated. And, the good part is
it is not the Ferguson brand. I bleeve

dom and everybody niindin his own bus-
iness in sutch matters. Goodnight, iffen

I never saw one who hud got poems pub-
lisht, for money. How was she? Did
she havo the divine niriuytus? And did
she look prosperous.' And what sort
was her husband? I reckin he must
j havo had as incc of humor, anyway. 1
guess Mrs. Ames in I induced her, sincet
she runs tho university women.
I am hazardin a guess that the new
dean Dr. Ullrich is makin good, jedgin
from the Oflicial Notices. I wood urge
all freshmen to get to know him and
Mr. Willyums reel well, beeaws they
will then be able to get through college,
intelleckehewa 11y if not financially.
The dean has got a lot to do with how
you get on. So know bim well. Now
I knew the dean Dr. Wunder last yere,
and look at me. 1 got through college
all right. So can you. My experience j
sliood be of grate valyew.
I here you are bavin a time with the
automobile problem down thare. Well,
keep your shirts on. Don’t let the cars |
get away with anything beeaws them!
critters aint got a bit more branes than j
the driver, whitch may not be any two!
mutch. 1 figger a mustang is good J
enough for me, and iffen yoiji caint han-1
die a car stay out just like you shood
stay off a rnustajig iffen you dont know
em. Pursonally I think a boy that
wood get a girl in dutch by drivin her
around against tho rules shood be man-
handled propper. He ort to remember
who his folks are anyway. Wo South-
erners—well, yon know. We was born
and raised in the South. - And that
menes a lot. Iffen you dont know what
it menes go north and see. One guy
calls the south the Sahara of the Bo-
zart. He don’t even kno whow to spell
it, so his opinion aint worth a fillup.
Tho South is the HOPE OF THE
NAYSHUN, and I predick a democrat-
tick victory in 1928. We have kep so
cool with Coolidge that cotton wont
bring enough to keep us warm this win-
ter.
I expeck to go to the naugewrayshun
of Dan Moody in January, and‘I will
stop off in eGorgetown. So Watch out.
I think it is a low down shame when
stewdents have a riot and kill some-
body. Iffen that,,sort of thing ever
starts down there I aint from S. U.
Did Mario visit Southwestern! And
did you see the Josephine Ford! and
who do you think killed Hall-Mills!
Gee, I wisht I cood be down thare in
all the swim. But I have just installed
on the installment plan a new radio so
