That the world is now involv

why you sho lid discard the an­
cient practice of making resolu­
tions with which to greet tin' 
first few days of each sucessive 
New Year. The war, on 
the

forced under our noses by the 
war, should serve to emphasize, 
rather than mitigate, the neces­

intentions.

What the resolves shall be is

as logical for an editor to look 
at a man and speculate on what

Dean Benedict is in Dutch— 
not that he has identified him 
self with the Teutonic espionage 
system or anything drastic like 
that, but the Phi Beta Kappa 
aspirants are rushing him. And 
their rushing is not comparable 
with the usual fraternity rush­
ing. They are rushing him with 
hobnailed 
and bloody 
lances. And its all because there 
is no honor roll for the fall term.
The astronomical dean is not 
to blame for the absence of the 
list of brilliants and grinds. 
Some of the grade cards were 
shipped to their respective des­
tinations before the wielder of 
the red ink had a chance to go 
through the pile and assort the 
sheep from the goats. Conse­
quently, the honor list is incom­
plete, and the dean fears that 
a publication of the names as 
they now stand would be nothing 
if not suicidal.

All students who made B in 
four subjects or more are asked 
to turn in their grade cards to 
Dean Benedict at once. The per­
manent record of the B-average 
students must not have a gap in 
it; neither must The Texan be 
deprived of a column of space 
filler.
