An exceptional opportunity is now open to some friend of the col lege to make a much needed gift. The approach to McAllister Hall would be greatly beautified by an imposing flight of granite steps de signed to harmonize with the archi tecture of the building. Even the temporary wooden ones which were put in place when the building was compieted have now disappeared and something must soon be done to provide a suitable approach to this much used building. There is at present no better way in which a class could perpetuate its memory and ?t the same time make a beauti ful and useful gift to the college. Several classes are in a position to take up this matter and it is hoped that one of them will do so. Some thing should speedily be done to re- 'I HE STATE COLLEGIAN move this blemish from our beauti ful campus. During the many years that the college buildings have been occupied as dormitories, there have been few dangerous fires. Such conflagra tions are by no means unlißely,how ever, and we believe that every pos sible precaution should be taken to prevent their occurrence. One means of helping in this matter has been suggested, and we believe that the plan would be a wise one. In stead of the usual Sunday morning inspection some form of fire drill might well be substituted. Once a month would be sufficient to ac quaint the occupants of the dormi tories with the use of all the ap pliances for protection against fire. While efficient work might be and doubtless would be done in case a fire broke out in the buildings, the speed and confidence that fire drill even at rare intervals would give are sufficient reason for its adoption. How 2 Harniss a Hoss Harnissin a hoss is a danjeruss operashun. It depends whether he is nervus with hiz feet, whether "he iz large or small, and his karakter. U must ezcuze me if i forget the syentific names for all the parts - of the harniss. Before i go enny further with harnissin a hoss i will try explane what one iz. A hoss is a live ani mal, sometimes wild, sumtimes tame and sumtimes both. Sum hosses are tame most ov the time, but others have their tame spazzums only wonce in a while. A hoss haz fore legs one at each korner. It al so has a hed in frunt and a tale in back. They say a hoss' head is az long az a barrel. This may be so. Ennyway, sum hosses eat az much as a barrel holds when they git a good square meel in frunt ov them. In harni;sin a hoss. don't let him walk all over u. If he steps on ur feet jently request him to remuve frum ur pussonal propurtv. If he takes ur arm in hiz mouth tikel hAm and he will let go. If u ever saw a harniss hangin on the wall, all rite, u will no it agen, but if u never did, look around fer sumthin that looks like a closeline after a siklone in Misiouri. When u hey found it, put the harnis.p on (the hoss) and fasten the bukels. Be sure not 2 get it on rong. With these direkshun, enny wun shud be able 2 harniss a hoss. • Among Other Colleges. The night before every big game at Lafayette, a smoker is given by the Athletic Association. Each fellow brings his own pipe and to bacco, and the Freshmen rurnish the matches. Speeches are made by alumni and prominent men about the college. Songs and yells are prac ticed, and enthusiam is thereby raised for the game on the following day. The University of Pennsylvania has an exhibit at the Jamestown Exposition. It includes original manuscripts and letters of Lafayette, Franklin, and Washington. Bowdoin freshmen are required to wear broad brimmed straw hats with high crowns painted dark green. The Brown freshmen, true to their name, are wearing brown skull caps. Oberlin freshmen have decided to wear white hats with red bands, white sweater vests with red edges, red neckties, and red and white socks. Now what do you think of that ? They sat upon the garden stile, The youthlet and the maid. "The stars above are not as bright As you," he softly said. . She lifted up her little hand Toward Luna's golden light; "The moon above is not as full As you, my dear, tonight."—Ex.
