THE COLLEGE STAR
Wednesday, October 10, 1934
BOYS! Do you ever have a
date that laeves you chilled from
the heart on out? Do you ever
dream of an evening of enjoyable
• entertainment only to feel (at
about nine bells) that a heavy
: overcoat and a hot-water bottle
couldn’t help the crushed and
ifrigidaired spirit that once hous-
ed romantic ideas that were all
• warm and glowy? If you have,
by some misfortune, been the
victim of a roommate’s hoax or
the unsuspecting, but trusting
friend of a friend’s friend and
have immediately been exposed
,to the North Pole, in person, let
;us know. This column, for the
’rest of the year (unless the girls
{wake up, or put red flannels on
their heartstrings) is to be de-
voted to letting the other fellows
'in on a few secrets about the
| girl friend.
If, during the week—pardon—
; “off-night”, you have laid your-
i self open to the eyes of the criti-
• cising world and have dated your
; supposed dream girl only to find
her the answer t,o an Eskimo’s
prayers, simply write her name
on a slip of paper and drop it in
the contribution box of the Star.
We guarantee that there will be
no embarrassment attached to
the plan—an if you can’t get a
good clean laugh—joke’s NOT on
anyone—out of our HELPFUL
HINTS, we will discontinue until
then.
Boys, help us out. We guaran-
tee to destroy all names as soon
as received and suggest that the
boys give the weak points of per-
sonality of their girl friends so
that we can help them out of
the rut.
TRAVELING
by BROOKSHIRE
New Orleans, “America’s Most
Interesting City” is a source of
never-ending delight to visitors re-
vealing in its traditional hospitali-
ty—a bit of Paris and of that ro-
mantic period when Creole belles
were thrilled by their lover’s sere-
nades.
To the minds of many who visit
the old French quarter, the name
Vieux Carer will always bring
memories — memories of lacy
wrought iron balconies, cool pa-
tios filled with luxuriant tropical
plants and flowers, and streets
and court yards paved with cobble-
stones.
Perhaps the most vivid memory,
however, will be of historic Jack-
son Square and the equally fam-
ous buildings which surround it.
From the center of the square, be-
neath the towering statue of “Old
Hickory” one’s eye is first attract-
ed to the St. Louis Cathedral be-
gun in 1712, destroyed once by
hurricane and again by fire, was
completed in 1794.
To the left and right are twin
buildings even older than the cathe-
dral itself. One, now used as the
Louisiana State Museum, was the
Presbytery of the Capuchin Monks.
The other is the Cabildo or seat
of government for the entire Louis-
iana territory.
The French markets are still
filled with Acadian farmers who
come to town with their wagons
of produce, and who stay with
them until they sell out.
Strange as it may seem, the fol-
lowing fact is true: One third of
the area of New Orleans is below
sea level, one third is at sea level,
and one third slightly above sea
level.

There is moderation even in ex-
cess. Experience is the child of
thought, and thought is the child
of action. We can not learn men
from books.—Disraeli.

Justice is truth in action—Dis-

critical than be correct. Variety
is the mother of enjoyment. Ig-
norance never settles a question—

MONEY
It is foolish to despise mon-
ey. Money means advantages
for ourselves and those we
love.
Of course there are higher
aims in life than money, but
to attain those aims we need
first to settle the money ques-
tion intelligently. We ought
to earn our money honestly,
to save it carefully, to spend
it prudently, and to invest the
surplus wisely so as to insure
ourselves against sickness and
loss.
If we get the money ques-
tion straight in our minds it
will do much toward realizing
our happiness and success.

Greyhound Awards
Safety Buttons
Safety buttons and plaques
were awarded to nine bus drivers
of the Southwestern Greyhound
Lines September 29 as a reward
for driving four consecutive years
without an accident of any kind,
according to Paul W. Tibbets,
president of the company.
In addition to the four-year
buttons, the company awarded 16
three-year buttons, 26 two-year
buttons, and 20 first-year buttons,
making a total of 71 safety
awards.
The rigidity of the require-
ments for these awards is indi-
cated by the fact that even a
scratched fender is counted as
an accident.
The national Greyhound system
has won the national intercity
bus fleet safety trophy awarded
by “Bus Transportation” maga-
zine every year since it has been
offered. The statistics of the Na-
tional Safety Council show that
bus travel on an average is seven
times safer than travel by private
automobile, and the record of the
Greyhound Lines is even better
than the average.

Sleep Greatest Aid
to Beauty, Says Star
Jean Muir holds the long-dis-
tance sleeping championship title
in Hollywood.
The popular young star of “De-
sirable” has a firm belief in the
necessity for physical fitness in one
pursuing a theatrical career. She
leads an intensely active life, out-
door exercises and sports being an
important part of her daily rou-
tine.
Jean believes that getting plenty
of sleep is of vital importance and
she indulges in ten to twelve hours
of slumber every night.

HAVE I?
At school, pupils every once in
a while have to have an exami-
nation. It is a good thing for each
of us to examine himself at least
once a day. For instance, just be-
fore we go to bed it would be a
good thing to ask ourselves such
questions as these:
Have I been cowardly and evad-
ed things I should have met
squarely ?
Have I been vacillating and
weak, or firm and decided?
Have I indulged in self pity?
Have I been deceitful?
Have I been disloyal?
Have I indulged in vanity?
Have I eaten or drunk too much?
