In and Out of
The Classroom.

The library is place where every
lstudent of the University has to go to
study. Some have to go there more
than others. Many get poor grades
because they do not go there enough.
The library isn't intended to be a
regular study room to take the place of
the students room, but since the stu
dent can't have all the books required
in his course it is necessary to resort
to the library. Generally he finds the
book but the question in the daytime
is where can he find a seat and at
night where can he find seat in the
lighted portion.
With the coming of spring days it
is harder to study indoors. 1t is hard~
er to study even under the best cond:-
tions, and the library is not pleasant
and comfortable place. 1t is usually
not and the air is close, and unwhole-
some.
1t may be that swimming against
the stream" makes the man, but the
student is just now learning to get
along by himself and needs little en-
couragement.

Ihim mutt" 1t is said thai Napoleon's
professor in German predieted that he
could not possibly, be anything but a
distinguished failure in liH Even a
professor is not infallible.
But. great many students misin-
terpret this and take ii to mean that
they canIoaf and do nothing in partic-
ular. Such is by no means true.
Though Napoleon was poor in German,
he was a brilliant student in mathe-
matics. Though Eugene field wasn't
very particular about attending
classes, he septn his time with Nature
and the poets.
The main question is Are you doing
something?" 1t is far better to follow
your own line of development provided
you have definite lines laid out and
provided you do follow them. The
superior man is always the man who
has ideas of his own and who is too
big to be led around by others.
One of the most common questions
asked nowadays is: Have you had
your picture taken yet?"
1t is too late to mend your grades
after the final examinations are over.
The right of the Ad Club to exist
and to be known as the chief boosting
organization of the University was
demonstrated by its readiness to help
out in the struggle for new stadium.
Of course it was recognized that
a good deal of time and effort wuld be
to work up stunt such as !
he carnival was last year and it was
also recognized that even with the best |
support the proceeds from such an ell
ertainment would be only a drop in

Necessary to build stadium.
But it is the principle of the thing
hat is to be commended. Last spring
he Ad Club gave $500 toward boosting

ave another 500 to send students
lome to vote and to work for it. Of
curse, this was small amount but no
ne will say that it did not help.
Now another important proposition
before the University. and it is one
n which every student is interested.
When the date of the carnival Is set
nd the plans are being made every
tudent should lend hand in making

TROOPS TO CROSS LINE.
President Taft Orders That Mexico.
Request Be Granted.

Permission has been granted, through
the State Department, to the Mexican
government to transport troops through
American territory from Juarez to a
point opposite Nogales in Arizona.
The request came from Mexico CITY.
and was laid before President Taft yes
terday at Sacramento, Cal. The Presi-
dent directed that the privilege be ex-
tended. telegraphing the instruction to
the State Department
The permission is not regarded at tho
state Department as anything out of
the ordinary routine of international
courtesy The privilege is one extended
usually upon request. The request lie
figured as similar to man knocking
at the door and being admitted, making
IL no less a courtesy for him to knock
at the door the next time he seeks ad-
mission.
Lack of railroad facilities across Mex
leo and the desire to get soldiers into
Sinaloa at once to enforce the election
request. The strike now on in NogaIes,
it Is suspected. may have some bearing
on the necessity for troops at Nogales.
Cen Oroxco and 400 men, picked
soldiers OF the Maderista army, will
make the trip. They are due to arrive
at Juarez Monday, according to press
dispatches, coming from chihuahua, and
will cross into Ell Paso under escort,
and take train for the west disarmed

States One hundred men from the
