THE COLLEGE STAR
BUCK’S BUNK
East side, West side, all around
Evans field that old pil lis flying high
and low, and the crack of the ash
stick can be heard during the after-
noon after four o’clock.
o—o
The boys are looking better than
ever on the old diamond, and the axe
of the Dean didn’t fall as hard as
we feared.
o—o
The spirit of unity seems to pre-
vail, and with the boys believing in
themselves, we feel sure that a win-
ning team will be made out of the
boys.,
o—o
The practice meet at Austin was
only a workout for the track men, but
it showed Coach that he has the real
stuff working out. The meet also help-
ed the boys to lose some of their
“stage fright.”
o—o
Those cinders are getting hotter
than they have ever been before as
a result of the dashes and runs be-
ing made on them by our track hope-
fuls, and the vaulters and jumpers
are disturbing the ether quiet a bit.
o—o
The tennis squad has been “rained
out” a lot lately, but now that the
boys are back at work they look bet-
ter than ever. They seem to be en-
couraged over the rumor that at last
the new courts are to be finished,
o—o
A move is now being launched to
adopt tennis as a major college sport
and to award a “T” for a distinctive
•showing in tennis. Here’s wishing
them the best of luck!

GOOD BOOKS IN
COLLEGE LIBRARY
(By Faybert Martin)
Such a parade of good literature!
If you are not reading some of these
boks, you are missing a great deal.
We are giving below a few of the
more recent books. All are catalogued
and on the shelves.

Lonely Americans
(By Rollo W. Brown) .
Who are some of the men and wo-
men in America who have been “lone
wolves”, who have refused to run with
“the pack”? And what happens to a
“lone wolf” in America?
This volume of biographical studies
makes two immediate and compre-
hensive claims upon the reader’s at-
tention. Just as a group of sketches
of eight of the most significant lives
lived in America, it is full of narra-
tive interest, new and telling facts,
and penetrating sympathy. The group
of subjects is a cathoc one—they are
individualists in fact: President Eliot,
Whistler, Edward MacDowell, George
Bellows, Charles Eliot Norton, Ra-
phael Puhpelly, Emily Dickinson, Lin-
coln the Radical.—But the volume is
important also because it raises in
incidental but impressive fashion the
question of the individualist’s place in
the American scheme of things. How
freely is the variant permitted to
make his contribution?
The author was for a number of
years a college and university teacher.
Through his interest in the literary
undisciplinables in college he became
concerned eventually with all the in-
ventive-minded in industry and the
arts and gave up teaching ip order
that he might divide his time exclu-
sively between his “strays” and his
writing. His books, notably “How the
French Boy Learns to Write”, “The
Creative Spirit”, and “Dean Briggs”,
have had wide and favorable consider-
ation, not only in this country but in
France and England.

“Revolt in the Desert”
(By T. E. Lawrence)
Lawrence of Arabia, uncrowned
King of the desert tribes, tells his
story, the most romantic epic of our
time.
Amazing, true, yet reading like a
modern Arabian Nights’ tale is this
account of a great adventure that had
as its stake not only the lives of thous-
ands but great kingdoms of the East
as well.
Whether its tale is harsh, staccato,
desperate in battle, or trenchant with
the sombreness of the desert, its writ-
ing is classic. Few books combine
such fascinating qualities.
The figure, T. E. Lawrence, has be-
come famous in a small gallery of
true heroes. An unimpressive, stud-
ious young man of twenty-six, he was
rejected in the opening days of the
war as physically unfit for service.
His unique genius directed his
strange destiny. As an undergraduate
at Oxford he had spent two years
wandering up and down the Semitic
east, in native dress; so that his
knowledge of races and tongues land-
ed him finally in the British intelli-
gence service in Cairo.
Here he conceived his brilliant cam-
paign and it was from Cairo that he
vanished to lead the Arabs to victory.
This book should prove all the more
interesing to those of you who heard
Mr. Lawrence in Austin recently,

Every athlete on the Hill should
read “College Athletics”, by C. W.
Kennedy.
Here is a book that everyone who
believes in intercollegiate sport—or
who believes it should be abolished—
should read. It is a sane, temperate,
and readable presentation of the case
for college athletics, and has already
done much to clarify the issues over
which there has ben more or l<^;s dis-
pute.
The author, himself a competing
athlete in his undergraduate days, is
chairman of the Board of Athletic
Control, Princeton University.
“The Royal Road to Romance”
In which a gay young romanticist
goes laughing and beating and fight-
ing his vagabond way into the glam-
orous corners of the world.
What the critics say of Hallibur-
ton’s book:
This wild young American who re-
cently conquered the unruly waters
of the classic Hellespont writes as im-
petuously and as dramatically as he
swims.—Memphis Commercial Appeal.
This mixture of audacity, ingenuity
and impudence, of gusto and appre-
ciation.—London Times.
Here is a book to make your cheeks
tingle and your heart throb. The
sheer youth of it will make you glad.
Oh to be as young and confident as
that!—Editorial in New York Tele-
gram.
His tremendous initiative, his exu-
berance of spirit, his perfect natural-
ness, the fluency with which he mani-
pulates his mother tongue help ex-
plain Richar dHalliburton’s amazing
success as a speaker.—Cincinnati In-
quirer.
Impetuous to utter recklessness,
laughing at hardships, dreaming of
beauty, ardent for adventure, Richard
Halliburton has managed to sing into
the pages of this glorious book his
own exultant spirit of youth and free-
dom.—Chicago Post.
The mad, exhilarating, and joyous
spirit of Richard Halliburton’s “Royal
Road to Romance” is the very incar-
nation of youth, with its horizons of
rainbows and its sparkling, unquench-
able, enthusiastic extravagances. —
Boston Transcript.
Richard Halliburton’s tale of travel
and adventure is one of the most fas-
cinating books of its kind ever writ-
ten. It is a glorious story of the ir-
responsibility of youth, of the daunt-
less spirit of the age, told with a cap-
tivating charm and a swing and a dash
that take one’s breath away.—Detroit
News.

“Modern Psychology—Normal And
Abnormal”
(By Daniel Bell Leary, Ph.D.)
Here is a new, synthetic and ex-
tremely valuable approach to modern
psychology. It is behavioristic with-
out violating the facts of human per-
sonality; it treats of the integrated
personality without violating the
methods of behaviorism. The concept
of adjustment and consummation is
consistently used, both for normal and
abnormal behavior, and the relation-
ship of so-called normal and abnor-
mal conduct is shown from a new
point of view. A new theory of learn-
ing and a new system of personality
classification are included. This is
the first extended study of the behav-
iorism of the whole personality as well
as the most inclusive behaviorism that
has ever been presented, covering ev-
ery point from the simplest behavior—
of reflexive and automatic nature —
to the functional behavior of “belief”
and “as if” attitudes, and the com-
plex personality adjustments shown
in reactions to art, religion and philo-
sophy.
