Why does the student body "of Sim.
nions college seem so Indifferent to
athletics? Many of the students do
not even know who are members of
thq teams. During the baskolball sea-
son almost every student attended
the games. Why not do tho same
during baseball season. Our team is
doing good work and has very fine
prospects .for a winning record. They
have triumphed over A. C. C. and
Howard-Payne college in doublo head-
ers .already this season. Many of the
students wero at these gamos; how-
ever a largo number wero not specta-
tors at a single one of thorn. Why
is this? A college must havo athletics
to be a success. Tho students must
support tho teams in order to havo
the athletics. Now wako up and help
Simmons secured a game with tho
Ft. Worth panthers which is indeed
an unusual thing for a college base
ball team. The whole town of Abl-
leno is now aware that Simmons in do-
things. Get Into tho harness and
help her to do greater things. Support
your teams whether in debate athle-
tics or other inter-scholastlc contests.
Simons has had great luck and suc-
cess in the past She is to have great
er success in. the future. Many dona-
tions and gifts have- been given to
her for her improvement. New courses
are to bo addo dto tho curriculum
new members are to bo added to the
faculty new buildings are to bo con-
physical sciences are to be Installed
r.nd the student body increased to a
large degree. All these wil help Sim-
mons in many ways. While wo are
receiving these new (Improvements
why not Improve tho campus? Wo do
not ask for a new campus but do de-
sire that the campus bo improved and
taken care of in a better manner than
at present in vogue A little moro
grass and shrubbery would look better
than the weeds and plowed ground.
Here's hoping for better.

One evening this week a group of
boys wero sitting out In front of Anna
Hall while Doris Daniel was taking
her volco lesson.
When one of the boys .asked 'who's
got a f rj8sh Tonic.'
Kelly was standing near by misun-
derstood him and replied 'from tho
noise I Judge that It is Doris who has
tho " Colic."
Dick Httton looking thru the sur.
veylng Instrument for a tack that was
driven In a lock suddenly replied that
ho had found it Prof. Chandler took
a peep and informed him that ho seen
a nail driven in tho grand stand.

Ask Verle Jones why the butter cups
and "everything'' look larger by moon-
light. Think of it "A Mary Frances girl
was in tho Press Room in company
with a Snuff Box."
TOLY HALL
An egg crushed to tho earth will
not rise again. But Toly 'Hall will.
Or rather it lias. Some time' boforo
the closo of last term tho popula-
tion of Toly Hall was almost completly
wiped from around tho paternal table
by one of those cruel tricks of fate
that becomes moro cruel on account
of the fact that it might havo been
avoided by a little moro careful man.
agement. None less than five of tho
little Innocents of Toly Hall wero
ruthlessly jerkted away from their
loved 'filling station and ex-ebmmu-nicated
from the College that they had
hoped to call Almay Trotter. Four
of them left because they had to; and
tho other one would have had to if
the truth had been known.
But 'now the battle is over and tho
victory is won and Toly Hall is back
In the game giving their super-human
intelligence and ingenuity to the bet-
terment of mankind and the uplifting
of freshmen (by pounding up on the
lower end)
There is nothing 'common in Toly
lall. Everything smacks of tho ex-
traordinary save a few of the teach-
ers and they smack of the same old
thing. There are more noted things
loused here than In any other board-
ing place this side of Mary Frances
Hall. For example some of tho most
notlcable noted things are; Jasper
Stovenson's talks with the cook Dr.
Davidson's late hours Professor Camp-
bell's church-going record Jim Samp-
le's appetite Enoch O'Dwyer Dunna-
way's opinion of himself.
