(ikyni*& 1 lje possibility* that fairly intelligent
can be''(U'void of appreciation. Rather, it
wlly do you recite?
Did you ever analyze your reasons for reciting, or trying
to recite in class? When a student has given some particularly
effective recitation, have you wondered what motives that
person may have had for reciting?
Since we all recite or try to recite, some- more and some
less, we . may recognize these reasons. Perhaps a mjw*t pre-
dominate/pcause is the influence that class recitations have
a grade^nriu^. some try to gain favor in the eyes of
instructor.
A few want to tell what they are interested in tor its own
sake. Most students find personal satisfaction in telling some-
thing..that they know; it gratifies their ego. And then, it
a matter of pride to students who have always been able
recite. Sfomt^ r^eifce to relieve their owrr luiLPiipm. ' _
There is the girl, with whom we are all on speaking
acquaintance, who talks incessantly with no conscious effort
whatsoever. The atmosphere oif the class' room has no eftect
on her" volubility; and" she Jnlka* on, though she probably lacks
the slightest idea of what it is .I'll aBout.- Of course, there is
the unusual type who knows but through some complex of then-
nature, cannot be encouraged or induced to talk.
Anyhow, whatever the reason, we can agree that the
wisest thing to do is to recite or try to recite in class.—D. S.
choice of entertainment.
Only four underclassmen from the number of those
in the dormitories attended a lecture given last, week
noted novelist, poet, teacher, and musician, John Erskine.
This statement Sounds absurd br"at least unusual, but with
a few changes as to details it will actually apply to almost all
the lecture courses -and concerts presented here during the
year. Nor "is that condition confined exclusively to Texas
Woman's College; other college papers report similar percent-
ages of attendance.
We wish to
college students can be" devoid of appr
secmS that the average college student is intellectually lazy or
careless with a fear of the so-called intellectual pursuits and
has an imagination that has grown static from disuse.
Our attitude, as average students, seems to be that such
things are not for us; they-.are- "highbrow." We fear the
effort of thinking and prefer the. easy-to-digest "movie" to
the Shakespearean play, Our decadent imagination demands
that which is easly grasped.
And all the while we are letting ourselves be the dupes of
our imagination. A little mental exercise is as stimulating and
ENJOYABLE as physical exercise. Almost all performances
are within our comprehension and are entertaining. The
broad vista of all these enjoyable better things may be ours.
Why don't we wake up?—M. M.
SOPHOMORE COURTESY.
"Sophs must be having a class meeting," remarked one
student on seeing the sophomore class remain seated after
chapel. However, when fur three successive days the sopho-
mores followed this procedure the said student Realized that the
class had some other object in view. "On. investigation she was
told that the sophs were merely carrying out a tradition—that
the. three underclasses should Remain seated while the faculty
and seniorsi inarched out of the auditorium.
The sophomores are due a great deal of credit—they alone
have remembered the tr?td*tion or at least have been the only
class to - carry it out. Probably, being little sisters of the
seniors, the courtesy due that class has been more deeply im-
pressed upon them.. Whether or not the juniors and freshman
are sisters of the seniors, however, they owe them the same
courtesy. Are we going to follow the example the sophomores
have set for us or are we going to break down the tradition of
many years by carelessness and thoughtlessness?

College spirit.
What do you think we mean by college spirit? Thomas M.
Thompson of Colgate University defines ^college" spirit as a
background of ideas, ideals, and attitudes toward one's Alma
Matqj1 which is the delimiting and directing force behind all
one's acts with respeftrio. her. Such a concept of college.spirit
gives it tangibilit/r tfut its great value lies in the it
makes college spirit a guiding and directing force in the college
life of a student. Our honor system of student government in
Texas Woman's College has been "successful so far. Whyf
Because it is tfased on the college spirit, and T. W. C. has it.
If college students would think of college spirit as the
directing force behind all their acts in college, possibly many
of the acts *so common on college campuses vwmkl Jbe less
common. Possibly library .books would be safe; thCreVould
be less sneaking off the campus; possibly"the students would
do 10ss littering up the campus with "Our Charlie" wrappers
or "Oh Hoy" gum wrap^rs and less cutting acrdss "the campus
instead of using the sidewalks. Possibly scholastic, as well
as athletic accomplishments, would have more attraction; and
maybe the students would realize that a true college spirit
means for the student to be "lady like" at all times. If it is
college spirit that gives directions to one's college acts, a
college spirit that would permit such acts as mentioned would
not be one of which any student could be proujl. So T. W C
students, are you proud of your college spirit?—H.G.

And so th<? "fish" read on in
these facinating stories of Greek
and Roftian deities;* but more often
the book slips from their hands
while they gaze into space; while
their imaginations transport them
back a few thousand years. After
reading of .Jupiter's weakness for
beautiful women and Juno's corre-
sponding jealousy, they decide that
human nature and god-like nature
was about the- same, and that
polygamy originated back on Mt.
Olympus.
