FORMALITY vs. INFORMALITY
Southwestern, has often been spoken
of by visitors as a very informal plaee.
In fact, the student body has boasted
that informality holds supreme. But to
a close observer it seems that there are
extremes to be- avoided.
It is something of whieh to be Justly
proud that evening dress is not require*!
for all soeial oeeasioms. We glory in
the fact that meetings are mot so formal
that they beeome boresome; yet there
sure many things that eould be observed
in a little more formal way and thus aid
the students in attaining a higher cul-
tural training. For a eertain amount of
soeial training oar "polish' is neeessary
to make the eollege man distinguishable
from the yokeL
A few suggestions are given with the
hope that they may cause you to see the
value in proper observance of the laws
off etifjuetrte and "good taste."
The first off these- is the manner of
dress. It is quite a matter of good taste
for the men to wear coats while in the
class rooms, and in many places it is
required- As for the girls, very -poor
taste is shown by the short skirts and
filmy waists and dresses wo.ru. A sec-
ond item would be the matter of the
men wearing their coats to meals of
dinner and supper. This much is re-
quired is practically all dormitory din-
isg halls and boarding plates. From
the way some people come to meals, one
is led to wonder if that person ever
heard off decency. This is especially
applicable to those late sleepers who
drag down to breakfast only half-
dressed when the meal is almost over.
• Table etiquette is another thing whieh
many of the Mood Hall boarders, and
possibly it is mare universal, show the
lack off knowledge or nee. It often
proves embarrassing to those who care,
and especially if visitors are present, to
hern the savage yells and see the scram-
ble some make to get the first serving
off food. Bach conduct certainly reflects
on home training.
Sack things may aeem trivial new, bet
it nut be remember that yoi
ia the process of training to
citizen off the world. Oat in
yon wiH be rated aa a rnstie or a waO-
bred person, solely upon the kind off ap-
yon stoke.
FICKLENESS IN TEXT BOOKS
Recently an editorial appeared in the
Daily Texan giving a thorough presenta-
tion of the attitude toward the frequent
changing of textbooks in courses.
The student attitude was quoted from
the Michigan Daily in whieh it was
shown that eertain professors had an
annoying habit of changing their text
books nearly every term, even when the
courses offered remain essentially unal-
tered from year to year. Next a recog-
nition is made of the fact that few
changes are essential to heep abreast
with the progress of thought but ex-
presses the opinion that these changes
should not occur so frequently as they
do.
The main objection to the frequent
change of text books is the economic
side. This phase of the question is pre-
sented thus: "For the student who is
able to buy new books each semester
and who is academically inclined enough
to keep all of them, a change in texts
makes little difference. But in cases of
those who must consider every penny in
order to meet expenses, the inability to
sell a used volume must result in need-
less financial difficulties.8
Rev. and Mrs. Henry Hughes (Mrs.
Hughes was formerly Mia* Edora Mea-
ehum) both off whom are graduates of
Southwestern and who are now mission-
aries in Japan, have announced the birth
off a son, Paul Aneille, on December 11.

The many friends off Mrs. Frank Seay
will be interested in knowing that she
conducts fat the Selma, Alabama, Times-
Journal, a page on church news and re-
ligious activities. Mrs. Seay contributes
also special articles to the Times Jour-
nal. Mrs. Seay is the wife of Prof.
Frank Seay, formerly of Southwestern.
