Hy probation does the faculty secure

Not oniy is ottrspteen bent ttpon pro-
bation, but. the venottt of ottr remarks
are directed against the committee all
too frequently. A moment's thottght
w-ill serve to show you the foolhardiness
of sucit accusations. It is unreasonable
and unjust, to suppose that any commit-
tee of facttlfy metn hern would not sin-
cerely regret, tnttch less enjoy or con-
nive at, placing any valuable athlete on
probation. They liave a fine office, and
are accorded a title, but it Is plain to
even the casual observer that the {tart
the committee plays itt placing a stu-
dent on probation is merely clerical.
There arerulestobe conformed with.
;tnd failure to do so places the student
on probation ami makes him ineiigible.
The committee has nothing to do with
it except to have the student officially
notified of his own shortcomings which
have made him ineligible.
A iitt.le less abuse of the c<tnintitt.ee
and a little ntore application by the pro-
bates will give Hiee more winning

Do you know that on the last day of

theTiltonBiil? Sec. It. of the bill reads
as follows:
"There shall be drafted each year for
a three-months' period of intensive
training into the ntilitary service of the
United States al! young nten who have
passed their nineteenth birthday, a tut
who have not previously had three
tttonths' training, and who are not ex-
etnpted for the time being by the presl
dent of the United States, and such oth-
er men up to the age of between twent-
ty-eight and twenty-nine who for any
reason whatsoever shal! not have hati
three ntonths' tttiiitary training, except
that if the ear!y years of the operating
of this law the totai nuntber would thus
be greater than the nuntber of nten
necessary to create twenty-five or suc!t
other nutttber of divisions as would ettt-
brace approximately 500.000 to 600,000
tnen, then sufficient older nten shail be
excused to meet the above requiretttents.
This draft shall occur at the close of
the scholastic year of the educational
institutions above referred to, and shail
be for a three-tttonths' period. "
Essay on Pants.
(From the Daily Texan.)
Pants are made for men and not for
wottten. Wotnen are made for nten antl
not for pants. When a man pants for a
woman and a woman pants for a tnan,
that makes a pair of pants. Pants are
like ntoiasses; they are thinner in hot
weather and thicker in <!old weather.
There has been much discussion as to
whether pants is singular or plural.
Seetns to us that when tnen wear pants
it is plural, and when they don't wear
pants it is singutar. If yon want to
tnake pants last, make the coat first.—
My Gosh.
"No, Percy, writing paper is not the
only thing that is stationary."
"Well," said the hen. "! suppose it's

'Yes, Reginald, a klntona is one gar
