The superintendent Of the grounds
and buildings undertook to clear the
mounds just before the stunt began
this year, but was unable to do so.
During the stunt every square foot Of
space on the mounds, AZ well a. stand
ing room on. the base-blocks Of thes col
umns was taken up by spectators.
The effect OF this annual stampede
is shown the morning after. 1t is not
an exaggeration to say that the grass
on the mounds seems to be dead. But
this is not the worst of it. Girls and
boys climb upon the base blocks Of the
columns and trample the delicate ivy
vines that supply nourfshment to the
leaves. The restless feet Of the boys
and girls result in many crushed vines
capillares.
The students in the School OF En-
gineer:ng should make arrangements
rext year to supply better amphfthe-
atre for their stunt than the mounds
We cannot ruin the beauty OF the cam
pus to provide enjoyment for the many
who wish to witness the stunt. At
least it is our duty to see that the
Of the University Of Missouri
are not turned into bleachers.

The Mid-semester Quiz.

Editor The Missourian: Some pro-
fessors are considerate enough to give
final mid-semester quizzes. The sys
tenn has many advantages. In the
first place, the quiz is nearly always
given at the conclusion of some period
of the course This helps the student
to get a clear view of the subject.
Moreover. the comprehensive knowl-
edge of the first part of the subject.
which is gained by the student in pre-
pairing for mid-semester quiz.. serves
as a stable foundation for the rest Of
the course. The test also enables the
student to discover his weak points
while there is still time to remedy
them.
While these reasons apply to al!
quizzes. the effects are greatest when
the quiz is final. The word final
seems to possess some magic quality
for making students study.
Aside from these good effects~of the
final mid-semester. quiz, is the efimlna-
tion by it OF much wholesome cramin-
ing at the end OF the year. And the
smaller the amount of work done at
the end Of the semester. the more
thoroughly this work win be done.
The final 'mid-semester quiz is a
good thing especially in the last SEM
ester when the closing examinations
come in the hot weather at the end
of May. STUDENT.

THE. NoMAp Gypsy.

The popular idea is that the Gyp.
sizes, that strange nomadic people. are
descendants of inhabitants of Egypt.
Such is not the case. as they inherit
their dark. skin and wandering ten
denotes from the restless tribes, now
scattered, that once were shepherds
n India.
The Gypsy has long been wander
er, man without country. He wan
dered into England about the year
1906 and was the victim of abuses put
forth by King Henry VIII But they
could not drive him from the country
-he stiIl remained. "Such as wake
on the night and sleep on the day"
Further legislation in the time of Eliz-
Abeth was unavailing and many exc
cutions occurred in Scotland and Eng
land.
America was not visited by Gypsies
until the cities began to grow a CEN
t,iry ago. Since that time they have
come to this country in comparatively
large numbers for they are not nurner-
ous. They either rove the country or
lodge themselves in the slum dis
trfcts of the cities.
Much OF our "Bowery talk" is de-
scended from the Gypsy speech, and
even such an expression as "cut up
is Gypsy slang Americaniied. 1t has
. tenacity that causes It to stick to
the vocabuiaries of the people and
slangy directness of application.
