'And; then' another night," continued the Critic, "I went to a , basket-ball game in the Armory. And, by the way, our basket-ball team has certainly been doing nice work, having won all the five games played by a total score of 117-40. Well the first: half was over, and I was standing there as uncon cerned as you please, when along came a crowd of Seniors and proceeded to.give me an initiation into the 'Salvation Army.' And then I joined the ranks and we initiated all the other Senoirs who were there. Was you ever initiated? Well, it looks as if it was'nt very pleasant. But I want to tell you that it is fun. And there is nothing which binds a class together by stronger ties than to always get them to gether in some such amusing way whenever they are in crowd. It adds spice to the pleasure of the occasion, and arouses class spirit." "But there is another thing which I saw over there that night that was not so pleasing. Some of the fellows were smoking. Now 'where there's a smoke, there's a fire,' is an old saying. And although a man should not be fired just for smoking, yet considering the fact that there were many ladies present it strikes me he should be reminded that a gentleman would not do it." • "And speaking of gentle Men reminds me," resumed the Critic, "that I was over in Old Main one evening. Several of us were spending a pleasant half hour together, when we heard some one down in front of the building laughing and having a high old time. Well, of course everybody rushed to the window and everybody got his head out someway. And what did we find? Well, in the first place we found a head sticking out of half the windows in the building. And in .the second place we saw some shady people clown on the drive. Were they 'colored ladies'? I don't The and' The Critic.
