THAT’S BETTER
Those students who have noticed with civic pride the better ap
pearance of the exterior portion of the Loitzcll buildipg- on Co-op
'corner have had a wish gratified which should be the wish of the en
tire student body at all times. The unsightly, childish painting of
what was supposed to have been "class spirit" gave the buildings a
very undesirable appearance. It is pleasing to note how great the
improvement is at present. This fact alone should show the students
that in future days they will be allowing civic interest and pride to
maintain itself by ceasing any such activities as occurred this fall.
Student Council is also to be commended on i\s action in this matter.
One feature yet remains. The numerals whtch were painted on the
sidewalks should be removed. They certainly have no place there.
Student regulations provide for a place for class numerals and they
should be kept in that place, and only painted there at the time pre
scribed.
CLOSED DOORS
This year, the Carnegie Library has been closed during the hours
of five to seven in the evening. The action has caused considerable
comment among both faculty members and students and is one which
bears consideration as to tts advisability. There are a number of
students and faculty members who find that this time is admirable
for their purposes but they, unfortunately must forego the use of that
time because entrance to the library is forbidden them. At times as
high as thirty or forty men have been asked to leave the library af
five o'clock because the doors were to be closed from that time until
two hours later.
The COLLEGIAN believes that the library officials will be serv
ing the college in general in a much better fashion if some arrange
ment is made whedeby the budding may remain open during this time.
This conclusion is drawn from the fact that not all persons are able
to gauge their spare time in such fashion as to make best use of the
hours when the library is open. The great variety in schedules of
both faculty and students is the mam cause for their inability to make
use at ail times of such hours os are afforded them in the present
library arrangement. Another annoying feature has been the fact
that the doors are not opened until the exact stroke of the hour and*
those who are 1 unfortunate enough as to be there before time must
wait until their cntrunce is permitted The COLLEGIAN is not de
sirous of giving the impression that the library is not doing its best
for the college. On the contrary, its work has been very splendid all
year and the service has never been better during the hours that the
building is open We believe, however, that if some arrangement
might be made whereby the doors would remain open during the two
hours mentioned, or some attendant be there during that time or a
portion of it, the library’s service would be greatly facilitated.
ANOTHER PHASE OF HONOR
The COLLEGIAN desires to call the students attention to the
fact that when books are placed on the reserve shelves of the library,
they are not to be removed from the library except under the rules
which'govern such privileges Those books are there for a special
purpose and are not only placed on reserve for the reference work of
one student, but for a great number. The student, therefore, should
exercise caution in removing them. Many students are handicapped
in doing their reference work because the book or books they desire
to use arc not to be had at the time required. Not all men and
women are able to use the books when they arc all on the shelves.
Each student must make use of what available time he has and con
sequently there is at times, quite a demand for the books Therefore
it is to the advantage, not only of the particular student using* the
book, but also to those who wish to use it, that he return that book
to the shelf when he has finished with it Under no consideration
should he remove the book from the library except under the proper
conditions. It is a criminal offense to do otherwise. Students
should think of this when they do what many have evidently done
during the year. Don’t be selfish. Have some regard for your fellow.
Act within the limits of propriety and conscience and if you cannot
do that, some means of making you observe the rules will be taken.
MAKE THAT HOUR COUNT
The COLLEGIAN, for the student body, notes with pleasure the
decision of tho faculty to allow the present schedule of class hours
to remain during the entire year. Through this decision, the faculty
has permitted the students an extra hour in which to continue their
various pursuits, especially those athletic,'and has thus aided greatly
in the operation of the present system of underclass athletics. Sev
eral features, however, remain, which if bettered, would further add
to the value of this extrn hour. For the greater portion of the year
many of the men who have been out for athletics after the last hour,
have been forced to use cold water from the shower baths in the
Armory. The prospect of taking a cold shower after an hour or two
of strenuous 'exercise, has, naturally, been an undesirable one. If
some method of bettering this condition might be brought about, it
is certain that the men who are concerned in the use of the showers
nt that time would greatly appreciate it. It would, in addition, ,add
considerably*to the desire of the men to come out at that time
Again, the COLLEGIAN believes that the irregularity of the dinner
hour throughout the town prevents many men from partaking of
sports after the last hour. The meal hours apparently begin anywhere
from five to six o’clock. If some hour was fixed when the dinner
hour should begin nil over town, it is certain that more men, whether
under or upperclassmen, would present themselves as candidates in
the various sports. For the betterment of the individual, and the
college sports in general we believe that this time should be set
cither by direct student action or through the various councils gov
erning fraternities and units.

and tho demonstration of the skill of
Rtchnrd H. Hoffman '23, In tho role,of
the Lion, all served to hold tho Interest
of tho audlenco and furnish food for
laughter and animated discussion'for
hours utter the play had ended.
The play was funny, Irrostlbly funhy,
but underneath tbo humor of it all Slmw
uses the open stage as a pulpit from
which to reach his audience and pro
pagate his own bcllofs. In "Andrades
ami the Lion,” Shaw gave mombors of
the Clu Istinn Faith a bitter pill so
tiugtu coated with humor that he mas
tered completed tho Instruction which
he wished tho play to convoy to them.
In ‘‘Androclcs," Shaw presents his
