When two males who are good
friends fall for the same girl, the on
who loses out usually takes his los
like a good sport and the friendship
as rule, is not broken up, but let two
girls who are friends fall for the sam
fellow, and We gods! Nine times GU
of ten, the gel who loses out gets al
huffy and may even stop speaking tx
her pal. There are cases, of course,
where the losing femme's friendshi
is strong enough to weather the storm
but that is REAL friendship, SEE me
The good old triangle which has beer
written about and written about an

this world keeps spinning. It's onC

girl who is so darn blue about her un
fortunate affair, l would like to say
Buck up, kid. Tears won't bring him
back. And don't blame your friend
for what has happened l know you'd
like to wiring her neck, but it wasn't
her fault if the sheik took a shine to
her instead Of you"

parts, and more than likely will blow
into town within the next two or three
weeks! Haw!
The other day | heard remark
that made me burn UP in sheer rage!
A kno-it-all smarty made the state
ment that one-half of the university
students got through their exams by
cheating! Every university student
who has any backbone at all will
want to do murder when he reads
that, | know People who think tina
cheating in an exam is as easy as
eating pie don't know how closely
students are watched during exams
Proctors walk up and down and
around keeL ing an eye open for any
suspicious actions. All books, note
books and papers are deposited safely
out of reach before exams begin. /
do not say that there is no cheating
whatever, but do say that any crib
bling done must be done in such ex
pert fashion that most students are
not fools enough to risk the attempt
Final exams are pages and pages long,
and any material written on cuffs or
such wouldn't be of enough assistance
to be worth, while trying. There are
certain methods which, if one is &C
quainted with them, can be used to a
small amount of success, but ninety
per cent of students would rather
study for an exam than to run chances
of being caught cheating. / feel pref
ty safe in saying that of over twelve
thousand students at Minnesota, those
that get through exams by cheating
are so few as to be almost .non-exis
tent. If outsiders could only realize g.
what long, tire-some hours most col
lege students spend in studying and
preparing for exams, they would not
be so quick to level silly accusations.
Some day I'm going to devote an
entire column to dispeling some of
the cracked ideas lot of folks have
concerning college Those of you who
don't want to read it can close your
eyes, but from some of the crazy state
ments hear quite a few people MAX
ing at times, think 1t would be a
good idea for all OF you to lend an atsl
