High Rating Should Not Be Bar

Hanover, n. H., Feb. 16. - High

opinion of Z, Gordon Bill, dean of
freshmen at Dartmouth college.
In order to keep young" he has
written in a letter to The Dartmouth,
the college daily newspaper. Il have
ridden a hobby for several academic
years, and | have exhibited it on every
possible occasion to admiring but
on-purchasing fraternity groups. This
hobby is the thesis that in consid-
ering possible fraternity material, high
scholarship should be considered an
activity In other words, it, is
plea to place high scholarship on the
same plane with sweeping gymnasia,
handling grounders or singing divine

AT present if man possesses suf-
ficient fat to float far, or suitable an
cestors 10 allow him to lug a lucky
leg before footlights, he is immediate
ly up for fraternity consideration; but
If by the middle of his first semester
he is known to be possessed of ex-
ceptionally large mental capacity, he
is apt to be avoided without investi-
cation.
These boys who show markedly
high scholarship early in their course
arc almost invariably SHY and retir-

ties can give them. and herein lies
one of the finest opportunities that
our fraternities. have. When warmed
by social contacts, their associates
soon wonder how they could have
been considered glooms' by those who
did not know them.
II have nothing whatever against
athletic ability. social address or the
innocuous but popular ability not to
offend anyone. nor to say anything
with which anyone could possibly dis |

The &c gasoline tax Is all sent to
the State Highway department and as
understand II. is to be used for
maintenance on state highways.
The Filler highway district board has
tried repeatedly TO get some action
on what is generally termed the
worst piece OF road In the state"
namely, the l.82 miles OF road on tho
west end of the state highway In our
district. They are looking for some |
thing 10 be done on this project In |
the spring. The board was promised !!
that IL would be taken care OF this
fall but the plan was later rejected |
by state authorities. The state high
way department attends altogether
TO the maintenance of state highways
and our proportion OF the &c gasoline
tax actually received in benefits was
the filling of the cracks in the cement i
pavement and the burning OF weeds
along the right Of way. However. |

er return for the heavy gasoline tax
sent in each month from Twin Falls
