We hold that the wise choiceof friends is essential to a well-roundedcollege career, and, in view of this fact,that one cannot be over-careful in choosinghis associates.

The field is open for your participationin our various college activities, viz.: lit-erary, journalistic, forensic, athletic, so-cial, etc. We trust that you will avail your-selves of these opportunities offered for thepurpose of developing your various talents.

paid to the men who are sponsoring thiscampaign ?

The ChallengeThe examination clouds have passed

away and we are permitted again to seethe sun shining through. We have fought

a battle and most of us have won-that iswe have won in a fashion. There is not

one of us who does not realize that hehas failed to do his best, either in the ex-ams or in the months that have gone be-fore. Hence, we all have an opportunityto learn a good lesson. If we have notdone our duty in the semester that hasjust been completed, we have facing usnow the opportunity of rectifying ourfaults.

We are all testing out the efficiency ofcollege education, but are we truly gettinga college education? Are we really tryingto make the best of our opportunities, orare we giving the college system of edu-cation an opportunity to prove its worth?When we graduate from this school, willwe really have the right to say, "I am acollege man?" Or had we rather and moreappropriately say, "I am a man who hasbeen through college?" We are testing ourmettle. Will we bend before the strain?Only the will can say; only the determination to plan and to do will answer. Whatwill be the answer? Will we respond byshirking our duty, by turning out fotstepsinto the easy path? That is the challangeand it is clear.

What are we going to do about it?A new future is before us, and the fu-

ture will answer."

Welcome, New Students

"The Sou'wester," in behalf of the facultyand students of our beloved Alma Mater,extends to every new student a most cor-dial welcome to our midst. We are gladthat you have cast your lot with us. Andwe believe that as you come to know usas individuals and our school as a whole,you will find more cause to rejoice in yourIwise choice.

We welcome you to the good fellowship

Think with us a moment. Is it not truethat considerable vocal activity-words,idle words, we know not what they mean-can be heard in the dormitories day andnight? Weighty and eternal-sometimesinfernal - matters are being discussed.Are we right or are we correct?

Often a professor has raised a problemin his lecture; it is carried to certain densof discussion and threshed, rethreshed, un-threshed, and then unrethreshed. Butwhat chance has the hoi polloi to knowand inspect the ultimately refined productof our exclusive intelligentia?

We believe that a little discussion in thecolumns of this paper would serve thepurpose of disseminating the ideas of mostbrilliant thinkers. Hence we offer themwhat has long been at their disposal-space. You and your intellectual enemycan agree to carry out your verbal duel inthese columns, with our subscribers asjudge and jury. We'll poll the vote foryou. Talk less and write more, for wordsvanish in the thin air, while what youwrite, may revolutionize humanity, andwriting makes the exact man.

I'M THE GINKI'm the gink who makes myself a

nuisance at the college supply store.I go behind the counter and helpmyself to anything I desire and thenmake my own change. I know thatno one but clerks are supposed to bebehind the counter, but I don't care;I'm used to Piggly Wiggly stores. Ofcourse when I'm behind the counterit leaves very little room for theregular clerks to pass, but they caneasily shove me out of the way. I'ma pest and I know it, but I simplylove to wait on myself and I'm goingto do it!

Years passed, and they had almost for-

Jolly JessicaAfter Jessie had been at the boarding

school she began signing her letters home

"Jessica." Brother Tom thought he wouldgive her a little dig about it, so hewrote:

"Dear Jessica: Dadica and Momicahave gone to visit Aunt Lizzica. UncleSamica is talking of buying a new ma-chinica, but he doesn't know whether toget a Fordica or a Chevica. The old cow-ica has a calfica. I was going to call itNellica, but I changed to Jimica becauseit was a bullica. Your affectionate broth-er, Tomica."

Edith was light-hearted and merry overeverything. Nothing appealed to her se-riously. So, one day, her mother decidedto invite a very serious young parson todinner, and he was placed next the light-hearted girl. Everything went well untilshe asked him:

"You speak of everybody having a mis-

sion. What is yours?""My mission," said the parson, "is to

save young men.""Good." replied the girl, "I'm glad to

meet you. I wish you'd save one for me."

hletic enthusiast, succeeds sions. The association will meet at thesam costen as president of the outh-western Athletic Association. The bodyheld its regular annual meeting at thecollege Wednesday night.

Salient points in Southwestern's athleticswere discussed. Matters concerning foot-ball especially were dealt upon, and pos-sibilities for an attractive array of gamesfor the coming season. It was also de-cided at this meet to hold monthly ses-

On Monday morning of last week wewere fortunate in having with us in chapelDr. Charles E. Barker of New York City.Dr. Barker lectured to us on "How to BeSuccessful." He divided his talk into threeparts, "the strong arm," "a clear head.""a brave heart." He said in part that thestrong arm did not mean a strong muscle,but that it meant a strong healthy consti-tution. All of us have the power to makeour bodies stronger. Just a few minutesof exercise a day will do the trick. A clearhead refers to intellect. All college stu-dents have the opportunity to improve theirintellect. How? By studying. A man issaid to have a brave heart when he isnot afraid to do the right and stand againstthe wrong.

Rev. C. T. Thompson of Centerville,Miss., a member of the board of directors,was present Tuesday morning a weekago. He conducted the chapel exercisesand spoke briefly.

It was a great pleasure to have a verydistinguished man with us on Saturdaymorning, Jan. 23. Dr. John Grier Hibbin,president of Princeton University, delivereda talk to the students at the chapel hour.He praised Southwestern very highly.

Rev. Clovis G. Chappell, pastor FirstMethodist Church, conducted our chapelexercises on Jan. 24. He made an inter-esting and inspiring talk, which wasbroken by frequent flashes of dry wit.

Walter Jenkins, popular song leader, ac-companied by Mr. Roloff, rendered severalselections. Mr. Jenkins also led the sing-ing.

A hearty welcome awaits the trio when-ever they may return.

Mr. Pifer, secretary of the city Y. M.C. A., made us a visit a few days beforeexaminations. He spoke on "What IsYour Name?"

Miss Pauline LeRoy, the popular charac-ter woman of the Gene Lewis-Olga Worthplayers, will take the part of Molly, theold witch (as the squatters call her), in"Tess of the Storm Country," which willbe the attrqction at the Lyceum Theatre,week of February 8. The play itself istoo well known to require any lengthystory, sufficient to say that it is a greatmelodrama which has all the popular ap-peal in it, and should prove one of themost popular productions of the season.

"Darwin is famed as a writer of shortstories, historical articles, and novels. Heis a German scientist."

Such startling revelations as these greet-ed a professor of freshman history on theretent examination booklets.

Luckily no mention was made of Hanni-bal flaying Bismark for abusive languagebefore Judge ('lifford Davis in the localpolice court.

A chronicle of such sensational answerswould make ye editor blush to reprint.
