COLLEGE SPIRIT AT SOUTH-WESTERN VS. FRA-

TERNITY SPIRIT

Many editorials, essays, and thelike have been written fro:n time totime touching on so::ne aspect ofcollege spirit. While little becomingthe writer to discourse on such asubject, a slightly clearer insight onthe subject might not be aniss.

To our mind, college spirit, ratherthan that mob spirit which at ti:n. sespecially few for Southwestern, canbe worked up and manifested at somneclose athletic contest, is no bettershown than in a four-year panoramaview of the average, or shall we saytypical, Southwestern student andhis life in these halls.

The freshman enters Southwestern,knowing little or, in some cases,nothing at all of fraternities. He ismet by students, ridden up from thestation, wined, dined, and sung to,as it were, for a rushing period of twoweeks. If he happens to be thattype of freshman which appeals toseveral fraternities, all he has to doto imagine himself the king ofAngora is to hold a tight mouth-give no idea of his opinions. Thuswe have another freshman gonewrong. He is not met with thepaddle, errands, and other tasks, ashe has pictured himself doing-butis rather "It" on the campus. Al-right, for step one.

He pledges to the Alpha SigmaSigma Fraternity, for example. im-mediately no other person on thecampus exists for him but his fra-ternity affiliations. That is the oneand only thing bred into him duringhis introduction to our campus. Sowhat else could one expect him todo? Does he go to the games?Well, I reckon so-to see brotherso-and-so in action. Does he havedates? Only with those whom hisbrothers go to see. LDoes he study?A little-if they do. Loes he goout for sports? If his brothres goout, he does. Does he join t.cvarious societies to which he is eligi-ble for membership? Yes-if hisbrothers are in them. In otherwords each fraternity is a unit suffi-cient unto itself. The most import-ant events of the year to three-fourths of the campus are the frater-nity games. In fact, the city ofClarksville was even similarly affect-ed last year during the basket-balltournament.

Then there is another cause of thelack of spirit here which may be alesser one. The rule which puts afreshman on an equal basis withupperclassmen will detract from thespirit of a college. A freshmanexpects to be a fresh:an.t ihaveheard of very few that diunt.Then they reach here, paint up asthey please, or do whatever elsethey please. They were high schoolseniors before reaching here-a factwhich is very satisfying to the

S. P. U. WILL MOVE NEXTSEPTEMBER

Many Unsolved Problems Areto be Worked Out, Says

President Diehl

That it is definitely settled thatS. P. University will open the year1925-1926 in Memphis, was the an-nouncement Sunday of the PresidentDr. Charles E. Liehl made to thestudents in the Commons. Dr.L iehl said that although this an-nouncement was given, the collegewas still face to face with manyserious and unsolved problems whichmust be solved before Southwesternwill be able to reach Memphis.

The decision to move this year,v as reached at a conference of theEoard of Lirectors during the pastweek. They deem it possible toremove all the outstanding obstaclesby Septemnber.

In connection with the announce-ment, Dr. Diehl also stated that thebuiidings in Memphis were graduallynearing completion, and that thedormitory is now nearly ready forthe roof.

STYLUS

Stylus met on Friday evening atthe Commons, with Mr. Flemister ashost. After the very appetizingdinner, President Atkinson called themeeting to order, and the minutesof the last meeting were read andapproved. Further business con-sisted in the discussion of new men,the election of Mr. Bee as editor ofnext year's hand-book and the ap-pointment of Mr. McInnis to behost for next meeting of Stylus.

The program was very short, bothDr. Beale and Mr. Drane (theybeing on the program) were unableto o present on account of sickness.

Mr. Walker gave an essay, "Col-lege Spirit vs. Fraternity Spirit atSouthwestern," which touched on avery true point. His paper may befound elsewhere in the paper.

The program ended with a noveltyby Prof. Cooper, who read an ultra-modern poem, "Here Lies a Lady."This poem was written by Chas..H.Ransom, one of the founders ofSigma Upsilon and an intimatefriend of Prof. looper at Oxford.

Guy, Noisy, Joe, Andy and App.were gathered for the regular eveningmeeting of the Snappy Story Cluband-were occupying their accus-tomed seats on bed, trunk andchairs, when the meeting was calledto order by Noisy who announcedthat the program for the eveningwould be opened with a story byJoe. Joe pulled himself togetherand began:

senior. Then he comes here and...pursues his own cause, unmol.ested.

Of course there are two sides to"freshiman treatmnent" just as thereare to other discussions. But itseems as if a fair comparison of thespirit of Southwestern as showneven three years ago and now,would tend to show that 1921-22had much that 1924-1925 lacks.During this period there have beentwvo changes. The' old order of th~Sanheds has been abolished, andfraternities here have gotten theirfirst taste of IF raternity houses.Which can be blamed? The former,

more than the latter is our belief,for fraternity men will naturallycongregate together, no matterwhether they be in halls or boardinghouses. A change in houses couldhardly have given such exaggeratedfraternity spirit as there is here.While fraternities l lay be the prim-ary cause of the lack of a unifiedcollege spirit, the ho a.s :s seem tohold a very minor share.

To prove that i at'rity co-ali-tions is a cause would be easy. Oneonly has to listen to the students ofthe weaker sex declare themselvesto their friends for one or the otherfraternities in the spring elections,which should be clean, which shouldbe for the best man, and for the onewho will best sBit his Alma Mater,and thus do we find our campus.

There are probably other reasonswhich are as important or the de-porable state in which this campusis. Yet, when the souI.ces of theevil are pointed out, who is capableof dealing satisfactorily with it?Certainly not the writer, who throwshis pen down now with a deep anddistinct sigh of relief.

105 AERO SQUADRON GOESDOWN IN DEFEAT

Southwestern Victor 58-17

The score does not show the supe-riority of the college five in its fullestlight. Many a line chance wasruined by the lack of ability on thepart of the student five to hit thestrange high school goals. Of coursethe air men were also unused to thebaskets here but they had extremelyfew open shots. In fact the South-western guards played the ball intoscoring territory most of the timeinstead of f:ghting to keep the air-men in subjection.

At the beginning of the game thetwo teams were feeling each otherout. Southwestern could not tell atonce of what merit their opponentswere, so a few tactful plays weretried. Then the spectators weretreated to a perfect orgy of passingand basket shooting. The ballstayed in the vicinity of Southwest-ern's goal except for a few briefexcursions into hostile territory, orto a center jump. The half ended25 to 6.

The high lights of the first halfwere the ability of Perrine to shootfoul goals and Alexander's play. Thefreshman forward made seven out often free pitches in this period. Alex-ander was off in his shooting as hewas in the first half of the Eethelgame Thursday. le missed shotsthat were comparatively easy forhim, but managed to get three f eldgoals and one foul. Wilson alsoplayed a great offensive game in thisperiod of play. Newton was put inthe game toward the end of the halfand pocketed 2 baskets.

In the second half Southwesternturned on her full strength whenAlexander finally found the range.In spite of his high number of pointsthis great center's play is really bestas a passer. Some of the most mar-velous offensive work possible wasexhibited by him in this game. Drib-bling and passing and slapping theball to team-mates clear of themelee. Alexander seems to be amachine for offensive when he is athis best. he has marvelous controlover the ball and can pass in anyposition with high accuracy. ierarely makes a false move in attack,almost invariably doing the thingthat will be best under the condi-tions.

Perrine continued to play fnebasketball in this half until forcedout on four personal fouls. Wilsonalso played in spectacular fashion.

The airmen showed real ability,but also showed that they had notplayed together as much as theirconquerors. Their passing was gooiat times, and a bit of good dribblingwas exhibited, but only in flashes.The guarding of Mc:connell was verygood.

SOUTHWESTERN DEFEATS Alexander GreatBETHEL 54-22

Fans See Five Star Men in Action

Southwestern is victor in anotherhardwood encounter. Eethel Col-lege bowed her head in grim acknowl-edgement, when a torrent of basket-balls surged through the nets inWaddel gymnasium Thursday night.The numera's at the end were South-western 54-----ethel 22. This tellsbut little of the supremacy that thelocal quintet enjoyed. In the lasthalf Southwestern made 28 points toher opponents 8.

All Locals Starred

The stars for Southwestern wereSerrine, JoeL avis, Alexander, Wil-son and tardner, in short the wholestarting team. the i.ne play of JoeL avis, who was shifted from guardto forward, was one of the high lightso the contest. t errine who is in hisfrst year at Southwestern was a'soa star of the evening at forward.'1 hese two forwards gave a stirringexhibition of how the art of substi-tuting is done. '1 hey acted verymuch as if they had played theposition all the season, so well didthey work with Alexander and witheach other.

uaraner gave one of the best exhi-bitions of g.ard play that could bedesired. i.aving a hard task ofbreaking up the fast play of tall andrough opponents, he always wasright in the best place to stop theopposing offense and take the ballfrom dangerous territory. Wilson atrunning guard, although a bit od inhis long s:ots was a thorn in the sideol the 3ethel de ense, in the form of athreat that would allow the otherbasket tossers to get free. t;is de-fensive game was also a credit.

Alexander was beyond descrip-tion. In the first half of the gamethe ball seemed to act contrary forhim. He had many chances toscore but could only register one fieldbasket. However he made everyone of his foul attempts in this halfinto a point. in the last half of thegame, the magic seemed to .havereturnel to his fingers. From everyangle, in every conceivable positionon the floor he sent the ball thrbughthe meshes. H-le tapped them in onthe rebound, he shot them from backof cnter, The ball seemed to bedhran by a magnet so often did itsail through the goal. With no ap-parent care whatever, the ball foundthe mark. Ten field baskets washis toll in this period of play. Inaddition to this exhibition Alexanderalso dribbled and passed in goodstyle, as well as guarding when it wasnecessary to aid the guarcds.

Bathel Outdone

The Bethel team looked very goodin practice. They started off wellalso. For a short time they led thelocal quintet, but when the two for-wards of the local outfit began tofind rhe basket, the Southwesternfive forged to the front. Bethel wasalmost powerless on the o fense inthe last half. A good five-mandefense was flashed throughout thegame, but Southwestern broke it.This defense worked well in thewhole first half. only the superplayof Davis and Perrine giving South-western a lead of 26 to 14 at the halfway point.

Hiiiggins and Newmnan were thebest for Bethel, the former scoringeight points while the latter talliedsix ti:nes. Nearly all of this teamcontributed to the scoring, no scor-ing star in evidence that would com-pare with Alexander.

Second Half Hard

The second half was for a timewell fought. In the beginning Alex-ander made enough personal foulsto endanger his stay in thegame. The Southwestern lead wasby no means safe at this time andthe spectators were worried at theprospect. Then this fear disappear-ed when Alexander started his basketfeast. This removed all doubt ofthe outcome so in the last fewminutes the whole starting team wasre:noved so that the reserves couldshow their wares. This bunch show-ed up very well. Newton, up fromhis siege with influenza performedfor a while toward the end, but wasshaky on his feet and had not his oldeye. The lineup and summary fol-lows:

Not So Dumb

When the Earl of Bradford wasbrought before the Lord Chancellorto be examined on the applicationfor a atatute of lunacy against him,the question was asked him from thewoolsack:

"How many feet has a sheep?""Does your lordship," answered

Lord Bradford, "mean a live sheep,or a dead sheep?"

" Is it not the same thing?" saidthe Chancellor.

"No, my Lord," returned LordBradford. 'There is much differ-ence; a live sheep may have fourlegs, a dead sheep has only two; thetwo forelegs are shoulders, but thereare only two legs of mtton!"

The prospect removed his pipefrom his mouth and said, as helooked at the heaving flanks of theanimal, "Yeah, his coat's all right,but 1 don't like his pants."
