With the weather being as mild and pretty
as it is, (and knowing my wife as I do) we may
as well resolve ourselves to the fact that Spring
clean-up time is here.
Naturally, I have sorta looked around, sur-
veyed the needs, and after this hurried once
over, there is much to do. So roll up your
sleeves and "Come on chillens" and let s get
started.
Let's face it, we've had it. Mother nature
has dealt us a staggering "blow." In fact the
"blow" sometimes referred to as wind, has
left the TWC campus strewn and littered with
debris from old newspapers to old hats. In
fact, either one of the lab's specimens of the
nine lived feline family, or a strange one stag-
gered onto the campus and the shock was too
much—if fell stone dead on the spot, and for-
got to dig its grave first.
Now, needless to say that TWC campus is
not a dumping ground nor the burial grounds
for departed pets, nor is it a catch all for
everything the students wish to discard (and
this includes from soup to nutz). Mess-week is
over, clean-up week is highly in order, not only
by the maintenance deportment, but for the
students and faculty as well.
Each of us doing little cleaning up here
and there will help much. Mulkey $51! was

'overheard asking the Gym—"Where d a
trash come from?" As a good college
fessor might say, "That s a good question
better—when and where is it going?"
A clean campus adds greatly to the feeling
and pride students have toward their school
and the activities. Yes, sir, its time to 'fess up
and clean-up this dirty campus.—LWC.
At the United States Public
Health Service Hospital, where '
am currently employed, 1 have
noticed that every day there is a
large, red-headed, red-faced in-
mate comes around the building
at the same time. His pockets
are stuffed with bread, meat
scraps, and other food particles
Uiat he is able to salvage from
the left-overs.
Red, the cat-man, they, call him,
makes three such rounds each flay.
He meets a group "of cats at the
corner of the building and there
he feeds them. He has each eat
named, he can tell almost instant-
rfitt t Sold tyet
If-was ..appalling to find from a check of
' some of the classes, that some students think
that the Rambler is being sold. Yes, thats
right, they thought that they Would have to pay
if they took a copy from the SUB or other point
of distribution.
Now, it might be admitted that if it were
"sold," more students and faculty members
would take more interest in it. But it is pub-
lished by the college for the enlightenment,
edification, and entertainment of the students
and is distributed free of charge to the student
body.
It is just as surprising to find "that only four
or five students of approximately 35, read thef
paper at all. NO WONDER WE HAVE SUCH
LITTLE INTEREST IN THE PAPER.
When TWC students and faculty read the
paper, help to produce the paper, and take an
active interest in the paper, then and then only
will it really become "The Student's Paper."—

I was reminded the other dgy of a story my
ninth grade teacher of- Comrnttn Law told. It
seems as though farmer Brown and farmer
Jones rode into town to look at some mules.
Each farmer wanted and needed a good team
of mules to help him with his work in making a
better living.
After the usual conversations that always
ensue when farmers come to town, the two
made their way to the stable or horse barn to
accomplish their mission.
Now it just so happened that the local horse-
trader i^ad on hand two .especially fine teams
of mules^ But both of these teams of mules
had been frustrated or pampered by their pre-
vious wealthy owner. * They refused to work
unless they had oats for breakfast instead of
hay. Then, too, they would pull a sit-down
strike at 10 a. m. if^they did not receive more*
oats and a drink of Tresh water.
In addition, if they were left out of the nice,
warfo and comfortable stable at night, they
would run away. All this and more was point-
ed out to the prospective buyers. But, on the
other hand, these teams of mules were the best
looking, the healthiest, and $he finest working
matched teams available. Also, they were the
most expensiW'.
Realizing ^their plight, farmers Browri' and
Jones withdrew into a huddle, discussed the
pros and cons, and decided it would be a
worthwhile investment to purchase the best.
After re-emphasizing the conditions under
which the mules must work, the horsetrader en-
tered into a legal and binding contract by the
traditional swapping chews from the other's
plug. He guaranteed the mules to perform
satisfactorily as stated. So % farmers took
their long journey home, pulling their mules be-
hind them.
BUT — farmer Jones decided that those
mules should eat hay, drink stagnant water, and
sleep out in the cold, wet pasture each night.
RESULT—one ran away, the other died of mal-
nutrition because when he wouldn't work, Jones
wouldn't feed him.
Come harvest time in the section, Jones
rode over to help Brown make his harvest. To
his utter surprise, he found that Brown's mules
had performed perfectly, looked better than
the day they were brought, and were the envy
of all the other farmers.
What Happens? Jones rides into town,
hires a lawyer, sues the horsetrader for selling
him a couple of no good, worthless mules.
APPLICATION? Students graduate from
high school, take a look at the business world,
draw the conclusions that a college education
is a valuable asset to help them with their work
to earn S better living. They hold a confer-
ence, discuss the pros and cons, and decide to
enter college.
They appear on registration day, enroll,
choose some courses that will qualify them for
something, buy some books, and go home,
dragging their books behind them. The pro-
fessors assign studies, papers, projects, and hard
work. But the student Jones decides that since
he paid for the education in the form of tu-
ition, the school, the professor, and-the educa-
tion system should act and re-act as he'deems
they should with what he gives them.
Comes the final grades, and student Jones
receives an "F" while student Brown receives
an "A." Student Jones goes dashing to the
professor, files complaint that he paid for a
passing grade and he demands retribution.
Tuition fees are for the use of equipment,
supplies, and the opportunity of being placed
in an environment that makes learning pos-
sible, not the care for mental babies. The
contract of education has been broken when
student Jones forgets to attend classes, turn
in his work, and forgets to answer the ques-
tions on the final examination correctly.
Student Jones has the same ethical, moral,
and legal grounds for recovery as did farmer
Jones—NONE!
As the Judge told farmer Jones, "Mules are
hard headed, stubborn, and some even down-
right ornery, and you compare favorably with
the best of them."—LWC.

ting angry at him, but It "Is almost
to the point where he is believing
or an idea is formulated,
that does not agree with those
ideas we have of such things, we
start yelling "Rod." Just because
an idea is new does not mean that
communist infiltrators are as thick
as lead in a Western saloon.
There are those who would
have us believe that everything,
even our Own law-makers, is
bright red or at least a little pink.
Referring, of course, back to my
favorite subject at the present
time, a certain hot-headed sena-
tor from Illinois, and brother to
Charlie (both blockheads), Joe
McCarthy. More and more he is
getting in the hair of people of^v
the United States. Even the presi-
dent is applauding those who have
bad things to say about him—and
they are many.
McCarthy Sells Himself
To say that McCarthy is getting
on people's nerves is putting it
mildly. Not only'* are the/* get-
' llmof'
ieVin
the things he says. That is bad.
I know I wrote about him last
week, but nothing was mentioned
to me about whether the stu-
dent body approved or disapprov-
ed of my article. Therefore, I am
going to do it again, until some-
one either gives me a bouquet or
bullet.
Army Bows
A London newspaper recently
commented on him by saying that
he was able to do something none
of the large English leaders of
Revolutionary war time or during
the war of 1812 were able to do—
make the United States Army
surrender. They were speaking
of course of the attack McCarthy
made against Stevens, Secretary
of the Army. The Peress case
is arv^nteresting one to follow,
also.'' To be short, it is inter-
esting to follow the rouster and
termite as he goes his way chew-
ing into the structure of our hard-
fought-for government.
He Has A Place
If it Is publicity he wants, he is
being satisfied. Every newspaper
in the country has had stories
about him, and most of them have
carried his picture. His smirking
face Adorned the cover of many
magazines within the last few
weeks, and hardly a week passes
but what the headlines scream
out "McCarthy Accuses" or "Mc-
Carthy Charges" or McCarthy
does something else. McCarthy
would be okay in his own place.
The only trouble is, no one has
dug it yet "

Somehow, I'm prone to believe
we do the same thing, and we're
t supposed to know better. Man
is both physical and spiritual.
You, nor any one else can do one
thing to alter this fact.
Men, through growth and de-
velopment has brought his physi-
cal being to such a degree of per-
fection that ho dominates all else.
In fact, data points ^k> the. fact
that man is nearing 'his end of
physical"-perfection.,.'
,We,Aiave anit eOntinue to fatte'n
our physical bodies at the expense
'tef or neglect of our spiritual
souls, and we SHOULD know
better.
What is a juvenile delinquent, a
gangster, a dictator, but a person
devoid of a sense of all spiritual
values and one who is governed
wholly by physical desires and his
uncontrolled egoism?
A culture based upon sense per-
ception exalts material success,
love of ease, selfishness, bodily
gratification, good food, fine
liquors, luxuries of all types, pride,,
and a great hillarious laugh be-
comes the ends of existence.
All are quite conscious that the
five senses cannot feveal the
greatness of living. Can one smell
love, taste patienoef^hear good-
ness, or touch kindness? We can-
not detect truth by any of the five
senses, but yet, it remains one of
the real virtues of life.
he fruit of the_.Spirit is love,

"Tfh
joy, \peace, long suffering, gentle-
ness, goodness, faith, meekness,
temperance . . " (Gal. 5:22-23).
If we feed only the physical
part of man, we become extreme-
ly lop-sided, warped, and morbid.
If we feed only the physical we
destroy the vitality, the influence,
and the very life of the spirit.
We SHOULD know better, YOU
should do better. "Man does not
live by bread alone."

BY SARA IWJNCAN
j„ the fall of 1919. I here cam-
to Texas Woman's College a fresh-
man from Atlanta. Texas Chris-
tine Hutchfson. During thnt year
she seemed to conform to th<*
regular freshman routine, although
she did add violin nnd orchestra to
her regular course.
But, in her remaining years at
college. Christina Hutcheson prov-
ed to be far more than a regular
student. „
During her sophomore year, be-
sides taking a full course, Christine
became Assistant Editor of the
TXWOCO, President of Y.W.CA-
an active member of the •Korosoph-
lan Literary Society, and was chos-
en as one of the Sophomore Favor-
ites and a Campus Beauty.
In 1921-22, her junior year,
Christine again took a full course;
yet she found time to become a
member of the Executive Council
of The Student Body Organization,
President of the Press Club, a
member of the Debating Club, and
representative to the Honor Schol-
astic Society of the South (which
eventually was the basis for Alpha
Chi), of which she was a charter
member. Again she was chosen a
Class Favorite and one oif the most
popular girls. »
Finally becoming a senior in
1922-23, Christine again took a full
course—plus expression (speech-
drama). Again she was President
of the Press Club and was chosen
as the Best All Round Girl. In
June she receft&d her B. A. degree
with high honors, having received
an "A" in every course she took
except one. v
Perhaps Christine's. greatest
achievement is just now being rec-
ognized, as Miss Maud Pettey has
brought attention to a little manu-
script volume of exquisite poems
written by Christine Hutcheson
during her college days and In th^
short years that followed.
It is interesting to note that, In
a number of Christine's poems, she
expresses the feeling that she is
about to meet death. This seems
almost uncanny when one considers
the fact that the author died of
tuberculosis in 1926, just three
years after her graduation at Tex-
as Woman's College.

Child psychology is a wonderful
thing. Especially if you're a child.
The old system of capital punish-
ment in public schools, spare the
rod and spoil the child, is on its
way out according to some ex-
perts. I can just picture myself
in one of the new velvet glove
schools.
First grade: first entanglement,
nothing is more tempting than
that sweet-smelling paste applied
generously to a golden pigtail of
the freckled-face coed. (Play

Do I have to stand in the corner?
Do I get my Sassy face slapped?
Nah! Instead teacher fries her
keen intellect to find some chal-

terity with glue. Application of
psychology: give the brat some
responsibility. So I get to stick
the little blue stars on the board
for attendance.
Everything goes along fine for
a while, until teacher finds my

Literature—
From The Student's View
H •In
BY JOY NOWIJN
Charles Lamb, master1* of the
familiar essay, uses a technique
common to him in writing "Old
China"—the technique of using a
seemingly unimportant subject or
Incident to "set the stage" for re-
vealing personal experiences and
family traits. As"in many of his
esdfcys, he writes here of his sis-
ter, Mary, known as "Bridget" to
Lamb's readers. Through what ap-
pears to be the natural course of
an intimate conversation the au-
thor reveals interesting facts
about his own personal life.
Lamb's essays are favorites of
many because of the warmth and
informality of his style. He uses
to great advantage the art of be-
ing familiar but not vulgar. His
ability to produce the sensation
of having had a friendly chat en-
ables the reader to relax and Had
for the pure enjoyment of reading
rather than to delve for soifVe
long, uninteresting words.
The author's love for old china
and the fascination it has for him
are used in this essay as the basis
for revealing his personality and,
in a sense, telling a part of the
story of his life and that of his
sister. His expression of his love
for delicate and beautiful things,
which is shown through casual
description, is the first factor
giving insight into his real self.
In the course of his descrip-
tions, he casually brings in Brid-
get, whose lips he uses to express
his desires and to portray various
aspects of his home life. As Is
true in his essay-"Dream Child-
ren," one may note a slight mel-
ancholy, a longing for the happi-
ness of the past and a wish for
"what might have been." This
melancholy, however, is not of the
Intense kind which might make
reading unpleasant; rather it ex-
cites the sentimental heart and
great truth buried in a mass of gives the reader a sense of en-
joyment of the realities which are
brought to mind.
It la doubtful that Laiftb writes
with the didactic purpose of in-
stilling into the hearts and minds
of his readers any great truths;
yet in sharing his personal ex-
periences and thoughts he uncon-
sciously exposes some of the great
lessons which life must teach.
These deeper thoughts and pro-
found truths ate a by-product of
the essay and are most effective
because they are impressed upon
the reader's mind unconsciously.
The collection of Lamb's essays
known as The Essays of Ella con-
tains many other fine pieces writ-
ten with great artistry and a sense
of feeling which have caused the
"familiar essay" to be one of the
most enjoyable and profitable
types of reading. This semi-auto-
biographical style has become
more and more popular during the
120 years since the death
Charles Lamb.
