the records of various
seniors, we find Indication» that for
the mo»t part, they hare not epent
their tJ*e trying to set out of work.
Did yon notice that ont of seventeen
who made all A’s last semester, eleven
of them were seniors* That Indicates
one of three things; either they are
the most brilliant they work hardest,
or they know best how to- fool the
profeeeors— lodge for yourself. Then
there a re lota and lots or seniors, ass
lower classmen too, I suppose, wno
really do more work than those who
make honor all and still do not get
pkblic recognition for It Take boys
like Nelson Kendrick, for Instance,
Mjho works seven boars a day, takes 21
hours class work and still makes
above average grades. That Is, In my
opinion, regl Intelligence and real
work. Just Imagine what grades he
would make If he had IS bom class
work and nothing else to do. There
5s many others whose jobs require
ng hours and who take six and
seven heavy coarse». Surely they de¬
serve as much credit as those who
make excellent grades and do nothing
else.
The seniors may be in the habit of
making good grades bat that Is not all
$iat they do. Just glance over the
Various student activities and note the

Will Argue Next Monday !
— Oregqn_ Style
The first varsity debate of the year
at Howard will be next Monday even¬
ing at 8:00 p. m„ In the auditorium of
Main Building. Howard's team, com¬
posed of W. L. Crumpler, Roy L.
Thomas, and Claude Moore, will de¬
bate Asbury College from. Wlllmore,
Kentucky. Howard will, defend the
affirmative side of the following ques-
Ivad. that these should be
a substitute for the Jury,” N
Indications are that this debate will,
next to the one with Southern, be the
most interesting or the year. In the
first place this debate will be con¬
ducted according to the "Oregon style."
That Is. the debaters will be cross-ex¬
amined by a member of the opposing
team. This feature Insures an Inter
eating clash of wits. and. humor is
likely to fly from the compact as Is
convincing arguments.
In the second place, Asbury comes
to Birmingham with an enviable rec¬
ord. They have met and defeated
Northwestern University, the Univer¬
sity of Florida, of Kentucky, and many
other large, schools. A. victory ove’r
them will be sweet Indeed.

Peanuts, elephants, popcorn, clowns,

the carnival the student body Is going
to give to help out the greatest col¬

In April the biggest thing Howard has
ever "put on" is going to "come off.1

on our campus. Why, it’s going to be
so glorious that you will just go craxy
trying to spend all your money on the
hundreds of marvelous things!
Start saving your money NOW. be¬
cause every cent you spend before this
carnival will be considered lost In
comparison with the “sky high” fun
you'll have then. Everybody is going
to have some part In It. The Y.
W. C. A. has consented to put all of Its
efforts on It Instead of giving one of
Its own. This Is mighty good sports¬
manship on the part of the "Y” be¬
cause It has always depended on the
carnival for the Blue Rklge fund.
You will be even more proud that
you go to Howard when you see the
posters and other signs about the "big
event.” Put your brains to work, the
part that can think of clever things,
and drop an Idea In the carnival box

In the educational world. The Ala- ‘
bama Educational Association will con¬

BEGINS JUNE 3
EXTENSION COURSES
Do you lack a few hours on your de¬
gree? If you do, you now have a
chance of meeting your requirements
without giving up the work In which
you are engaged. Howard offers con¬
venient extension courses, that Is, con¬
venient hours under the beet trained
teachers in their particular line. Aside
from their material value, there Is the
contact with the college which Is near
enough not to seem a myth. Besides
the work Is interesting and certainly
worth the amount of effort and time
required for It. If you are skeptical,
try one of these courses and see!
appear os the roll of the Class of
1929. Many will sink into obscurity,
while many will bring fame and honor
to the Alma Mater.
In May and August. 1929, 152 hearts
will glow with pride, pride mingled
with sadness. Pride because they will
be privileged to write after their
names "A.B.” or "B.8.", sadness be¬
cause those diplomas mean that they
are no longer carefree students, but
men and women of the world; because
graduation means separation from the
college and friends that they have
learned to love through four ye are of
work and play.

periences as a globe-trotter and his
plans to travel to the Robinson Crusoe
