Pull Yourself Out of the
Rut With An Avofation
Everyone should have an avo cation, especially if he finds himself going along everyday in a
more or less set routine. This soon becomes
monotonous and one finds himself in a rut so
why not take that word 'RUT' and 'coin' it by
findin g a hobby of some sort whic h wi ll be Restful, U-seful a nd a T-ankful of fun .
One should pick a hobby that is opposite in
action, make-up and thought to his daily r outine and should make at bring peace and contentment that cannot be found elsewhere.
An avocation can be useful along with its
other good qualities. It may be a money making and time saving device. But if it is only us eful a nd does not serve its purpose in providing
entertainment and a change in everyday routine it is of no value.
Such a subordinate occupation can be a
tankful of fun if one picks one that he thoroughly likes and enjoys working with . A certain amount of recreation a nd relaxation is
needed, a nd one must sooner or later choose an
avocation that brings all these good things.Helen Taylor.

Today a major part of our male poJ>u lation
is in the armed forces. But there are many who
have tried to enlist or ha ve been called for induction but fai led to pass th e physical examination. These men, who are just as loyal citizens as the country has, have been on the blunt
end of jokes since th e war started . Is it right to
humiliate these Joyal Americans?
If you look back into the past it is easy to
find many examples of great militayr leader s
who would be classified as 4-F'ers in our present day army. A few examples of this: George
Washington, fa lse teeth i Bismark, overweight;
Napoleon, ulcers of the stomach; U. S. Grant,
alcoholism ; Julius Caesar, epilepsy; Horatio
Nels on, one eye, one arm; Kaiser Wilhelm,

WORTH QUOTING
"The smart college woman gets he rse lf organized and goes shopping instead of spree
spending. Th e process calls for intelligence, but
it is fup and the res ults are both persona ll y sat' isfying and provocative of general a pproval.

Campus, advocatea planning before buying for

"Amerca's appoin tment with destiny depends
in a large measure on our vis.ion and incere effort to effect an enduring understanding wit h
